What's next?
Congratulations on completing the game at SL1. I hope you have learnt how to effectively deal with most if not all bosses in the game. Here are other ideas for your next SL1 run:
- Dual wield any weapons that you can properly wield one-handed. For example, dual wield Broken Straight Sword x 2 or some other daggers. If you want to do a dual wielding run of a particular weapon, you might as well collect/purchase/farm multiple copies of the weapon and infuse each with a different elemental stone. Then move to the next NG cycle for your SL1 dual wielding run.
- Do an SL1 run with no infusion, buff, or upgrade of your weapons. Any weapon you use must be at +0. For example, you are not allowed to upgrade your swords or bows. Your weapons must not be infused with an elemental stone and you are not allowed to buff a weapon with a spell or an elemental resin.
- Get to NG+7 as quickly as possible and do an SL1 run at NG+7. Do multiple any% runs to get to NG+7 as quickly as possible, defeating only the mandatory bosses. The game does not get any more difficult beyond NG+7.
