Stuck at gargoyles
I've started a game with the scimitar class and i've reached the gargoyles doing 60 damage to them.
I'm lvl 17 with 22 points on dexterity. I can't fight black knights, i ve backstabed 20 times havel to get the ring and stupid crossbow hollows take me 4 hits to kill.
I thought getting the uchigatana would help me, but i have 10 points of strength. (All my levels went into dexterity, stamina and health).
At this point i feel the game is dead. I need 10k souls to use the uchigatana. I could improve scimitar perhaps to +3 or som, but i don't believe that weapon is any good. And invoking the guy i freed from the cage is viable, but i have just one humanity (not reliable).
I ask for advice before dropping this game, the experience was really good, but this RPG-leveling-mechanic is a pain in the ass if you want to go unguided.
