Whats a good level to stop at?

[EGGZxOVERxExZ]

Im thinking either 55 or 60 since i just thought about over leveling otherwise i'd have stopped at 50. Im thinking 60 is a good balance to keep the game challenging.

Damn, then you're a lot better than me lol. I finished on level 88 and it was still hard as hell, wanted to die while I was fighting laxasia

Im not even using summons but dude endorphin rush you get when beating these bosses is top notch. Some of the hardest and best fights ive seen in any soulslike including DS/ER. Its funny cause you know when you die in a boss fight sometimes you'll start to feel really annoyed. I oddly dont feel that in this game.

If you managed to beat the game, then the level you finished it at was a good level.

Lol you just beat Archbishop and are talking about not overleveling to keep it challenging ?
Your not even at 45% of the game yet
you have not even faced one of the difficult bosses yet >-<
maybe just play the game and level without xp farming

I'm at the end of the game and am around level 70-75, which feels about right. If you don't farm you won't be overleveled.

I think 75-80 by the end, but depends on your p-organ and amulets (as aside from hitting hotel krat post-game for special rewards, not much to do beyond go into NG+). Basically - I gave myself around 8 levels per area.

You can beat everything without really leveling stamina (took the base 12 from the DEX build starter all the way to Manus) and as long as you can afford 3 hits life is good. Carrier Amulet +1 eliminates some need for weight cap upgrades, so just need to really focus your damage output.

At that point - guess it depends on your reliance of elemental projectiles/damage. Do 50/50 if high, otherwise I think 75/25 works (want some points for things like Door Guardian to use consumables to rush him).

Biggest problem in my run, Black Rabbits 1 and maybe Laxasia because perfect blocks where more pertinent, but I just learned enough to break their crap and reflect the lightning and went back to my usual strats (nameless was on NG+ so not counting him).

this game is easy to level up,
but levelling here doesnt actually make you powerful.
upgrading weapon & P-organ properly do.

Ty for giving me a logical/to the point answer. Ima try 60 and see how i like the feel. I still haven't lvled any weapons up yet cause i wanted to save that for NG+ when i have all the boss weapons/weapons i find.

Just beat "The Delayed Match" akkk'ually

don't worry, this isn't Elden Ring, you're not going to "outlevel" the challenge. the damage bonus you get from stat scaling is not that impactful compared to the base damage increase from upgrading the weapon itself. extra health from leveling up amounts to at most 2 or 3 pulse cells worth of health, so just won't have to stop to heal as often, and the same logic applies to extra stamina. carry weight is more important, but only if you're using heavy weapons and internal parts.
in my opinion, there's no reason to stop leveling. since there's no PvP or multiplayer of any kind, the concept of "meta level" doesn't really make sense here. in fact, per-level cost increase for leveling up soft-caps at ~16K ergo, so you're encouraged to level up more the further you go in the game. not that it matters before NG+, because you won't be getting enough ergo for more than 1 level up even from late-game bossess.

Completed the game at lvl 82, had 9 flasks (actually tried maxing them as much as possible as a simple qol since dmg in this game is ridiculous). You won't be overleved here, trust me. Bosses in end game hit like a ton of bricks.

[Sledge]

The only reason to maintain a meta level in Dark Souls was for the sake of either co-op play, or PvP.

There is no definitive level to stop at here. If you wish to stop, only you can truly decide what the right level is, nobody else, as everyone's experiences will differ somewhat.

Some people will beat the game using spectres, some will beat it at high level, some will beat it at low level, different weapons, emphasis on slow and hard hitting or fast quick hits, some heal more, some heal less, some are parry / perfect guard gods.

Outside of you actually telling people what level you stopped at to beat the game, nobody will know, and (not trying to be rude) nobody will truly care.

Cut off point is entirely up to you, as long as you're having fun.

I finished at 88 and nameless puppet used me as toilet paper for hours
