Gift = [Master Key] duh

Class = [Pyromancer]

Soul Level = [1] L337

Convenant = [Darkwraith]

Character Name = [Polen]

Weapon: [Blacksmith Giant Hammer] + [Pyromancy Flame]

Shield: [Grass Crest Shield] + [Light Crossbow]

Armor: [Irom Helm] + [Armor of Sunlight] + [Iron Bracelets] + [Iron Leggings]

Ring: [Havel's Ring] + [Wolf Ring]

Notes: Havel's Ring is a requirement. at SL1 your carry limit is too low for anything decent. which makes actually killing him a hell of a task. i'd suggest making a bee line for the pyromancer in lower burg, pumping your Flame, and try that.

the Giant's Hammer needs to be 2handed but does the most damage by far for SL1 viable weapons. until you make it to Londor to get this, i'd suggest Reinforced Club or Battle Axe.

if you swap the positions of your flame and crossbow, you can 2h the Heavy Crossbow instead. your stats aren't high enough for any of the bow weapons, so these are your only options for ranged combat.

the Grass shield can be replaced with a Dark Hand if your looking to skimp on weight, but you lose that sweet stamina regen, and since the hammer is 2H anyway theres little point. if you're only looking for a low level build, and not a strictly SL1, you can replace this with Sanctus and pump up your Faith for the hp regen.

the Wolf Ring is really just a place holder. the Ring of Favor and Protection could go there too after the Covenant of Artorias has outlived its usefullness.

i don't remember the stats, but i remember doing a lot of comparing and found that Solaire's set is the best full set without a fat role, and who doesn't love to be invaded by the Sun. the only real question is when to backstab him for it. i highly recommend waiting until after Ornstein and Smough. oddly enough, you can wield his shield at SL1, but not his sword.
