Dark Souls Strategy Guide: 5 Crucial Tips for Surviving and Succeeding
-
Be aggressive and stay on the offensive to restore health, build stagger, and stun enemies. Hesitation means death.

-
Master perfect guarding. It's tricky but builds stagger to expose enemies for fatal blows. Change outfits for unique NPC interactions.
