Straid

I could only think of two human statues I’d encountered and the beastman in the Shaded Ruins didn’t appeal to me so that left they guy in the cell in The Lost Bastille who suspiciously had a bonfire right beside him.

I think I made the right call as Straid trades in Boss Souls! No more upgrading weapons before converting them into boss soul weapons, Straid just shows you each weapon/spell that can be made from the souls you have. Excellent idea in my book, especially for someone playing blind, as there’s no need to reference wikis or the like.

I picked up a hefty club for the Lost Giant’s soul, a small Barbed Club for the Flexile Sentry’s, an ultra greatsword for the Pursuer’s, a magic bow for the Dragonrider’s and Toxic Mist for the Rat Vanguard’s. Most of the weapons require a DEX of 18 but I definitely want to try them out so I’m willing to put 6 levels in (60k in souls at this stage).
