I'm going to try to use a strength build for the Lost Sinner along with a Greatsword, in that case. I've had swords like the Claymore, Greatsword, Bastard Sword, Zweihander, and the like since I hit the half way mark of NG, which was quite a while ago. I honestly just couldn't get used to the greatsword because each time I looked at it, I simply had to say this in my head: "It's called a Greatsword... Yet.. It's a... ULTRA GREATSWORD?! DA FUK, FromSoft?!" x3

Oh, tell me about it... It just took me a solid 15 minutes of circling around with a Heavy Set of armor, Havel's Greatshield, and a Halberd to kill the bastards. That's the only way I've ever been able to kill the Gargoyles: Tank 'em and wait 'em out. Granted, I always almost die at least 3 times before I finally land the lethal blow on the last gargoyle.

I really liked the Halberd in Dark Souls, now... Not so much. The moveset is different from Dark Souls, as well as the enemy AI, so the Halberd isn't as good for taking care of enemies as I am used to. Even with the scaling on it when it's fully upgraded, it's, at best, a decent weapon. And against armored enemies, I typically just one hand the Halberd and use the light attack twice, as that almost always staggers enemies, even if they are armored.

I'll try that out right now, actually. Well... If I can get to the blasted Sinner, that is. The imprisoned monstrosities are one hell of a pin in the ass when it comes to you wanting to get to the dang fog gate. I always have to go to the fog gate killing the enemies before I summon Lucatiel, otherwise she somehow gets down to half health before we even make past the Undead Citizens, let alone to the fog gate. And yes, I do get the Bastille Key each playthrough, as it just makes my life a lot easier x3

Holy shit, man! o-o No words can describe the level of accomplishment you ascended to through doing that! The only thing else you could do to best that is to punch the Ancient Dragon to death! I still have yet to try and kill that guy again... I tried it once in NG+ after I found out about his possession of a Giant Souls (Which makes literally no sense, but I degress). I tried 2 times then said, "NOPE." I would walk into the arena and then almost immediately die, as if the floor was made of lava or fire! Well, it basically was made of fire whenever the dragon breathed on it x)
