Kill Solaire, kill all the Black Smiths, basically every NPC who may have an item you want. Make sure you reinforce your Estus Flask as much as you can, make sure all the weapons and armor you intend to use have been fully upgraded, kill Gwyndolin for SLB (if you're a faith user), trade any items to Snuggly the Crow that you can, I know there's plenty more but I don't feel like covering every single base myself.
