I have no idea if I am missing things, help a gal out

[Playful Gargoyle]

Hello again fellow Tarnished.

My build is a Greatshield + pokey stick, currently using the Great Epee. I normally use Lightening Armament and blessing then try my luck. I am looking for any faith items or spells.

I am currently in the 40s level range, I have explored quite a bit of Limgrave, the Weeping Peninsula, I briefly ventured into Caelid and even the Altus Plateau (I accidentally found a way around the grand lift lol). If there is something particularly hidden please let me know.

There's a lift in a certain forest in limgrave that'll take you to a massive underground area. Other than that make sure to explore volcano manor thoroughly .

Give Sacred Blade a try. Easily missable Ash of War near the Church of Marika where you find your Flask of Wondrous Physick.

Ah, McNostril. A fellow connoisseur I see. I would actually link or cite him in some way though.

I would look for the Golden Vow spell next, it's extremely helpful. You can find it near the bottom of Mt. Gelmir, which is north-west of Altus Plateau. It's not too difficult to get to.

You should track down the Spear Talisman if you haven't already. It boosts your attacks when the enemy is attacking. This happens often when you are blocking and poking.
I would also suggest the Golden Vow and Howl of Shabriri combo if you have enough faith to cast them before entering battles.

I did find that, but I kind of left. It seemed like advanced darkness I wasn't prepared for yet.

I did in fact miss that, thank you!

The art is not by who you think it is. This Gargoyle design has inspired some additional works of art that are absolutely on the up'n'up and not in any way shape or form explicit in nature. I have not found the Golden Vow spell, honestly I am not sure how to fit all these spells, I only have 4 spell slots and not sure how to get more.

I'll be on the look out for these items. I think golden vow is what I will go for next.

Use Margits shackle if you suspect there is a hidden wall anywhere within a 1 mile radius of you (exaggerated, slightly).

Look for the little magic towers [X]'s Rise. They usually have Memory Stones at the top, which give you bonus slots.

Sounds like a fun build, although you're on a slippery slope of DEX/STR which ends up being ineffective.

I'd go with STR, minimal dex investment to wield the Epeé and put a heavy infusion on it, go to the room next to the Grafted Scion in Stormveil and stick a key into the imp statue, you'll find a whetblade for the heavy infusion inside.

You're close to being overleveled for that area, go beat Godrick's ass.

Actually hilarious. I almost hate how good the artstyle is tbh.

Well as for going str and dex I am actually just investing primarily into Faith and only rising str/dex as high as needed for my weapons. Via lightening armament is how I get more damage in general. I did beat Godrick!

What the heck is that supposed to do? Isn't that thing just for helping you with that boss???

Whoops, oh well, you know what they say about assumptions: Always make them, they make conversations go faster.

That said, a holy infusion on the Epeè may be more effective later on if you're investing heavily in faith, it's still a toss-up because you're gonna have high strenght to wield greatshields regardless. STR/FTH is a good hybrid though, so you'll be fine either way. Make sure you have a seal with good incantation scaling if you like weapon buffs, godslayer seal in the Stormveil courtyard is very good for starters.

Yes, but to detect bosses it actually registers as an attack, albeit one that does no damage. As such, it deactivates illusions nearby when used.

That's really funny.

To add on to what the other person said about illusory walls, it's also good for raising or lowering those dangerous traps in the catacombs so you can just relax.
