My saves were lost a long time ago, and I never came back to this game until after finishing Elden Ring.
I used greatswords (claymore, Hollowslayer and Gael’s Greatsword) in my playthrough. The game wasn’t as challenging as I expected, as I got a lot better with Elden Ring.
The boss which I have the most problems with was Midir. It took a few hours, but I managed to beat it.
