I still haven't left Limgrave and Caelid on my first playthrough yet but I'm about to, I've mostly just been gravitating towards the biggest weapon I have and 2-handing it. Went with the Giant Club for a good while, then switched to the Greatsword once I got strength to 31. Unfortunately that means I can no longer have light equip load unless I put more points into endurance. I definitely enjoy it, it's fun to consistently stagger bosses.
Liurnia, directly north of Limgrave, is waaaay easier than Caelid, I didn’t start being able to handle Caelid well until I hit like level 100
And I’m with you on the staggering, every once in a while I find a boss that’s hard to stagger and I just keep jump heavy attacking while becoming increasingly stressed
Oh damn really? I'm like still well below level 50 and I'm honestly doing pretty ok. I've had my fair share of deaths but the runes are flowing in like nobody's business. I already owned Margit so I can definitely head up there but I've just been putting it off.
Can definitely be hard fighting bosses you can't stagger though. I beat Putrid Avatar the other day, and they had a lot of stall moves that force you to back off, so it was hard to keep them from recovering.
