best grindspot pre-quelaag?

[Mike Morkleson]

I'm SL 43ish and 40 hours in. For the life of me I cannot beat Quelaag, even with my Zweihander + 8. So naturally, I want to really buff up my character before trying again.
What is the best spot to farm.

Also, where can I get some rad armor? I have a mixture of Elite Knight + 1-3 and Knight + 1-3 equipped right now. I have a whole bunch of other armor in my bottomless box because everything I've ever found (Dingy set, Sorcerer set, Wanderer set, Crimson Londo-guy set, etc) are inferior. Is my current armor the best out there pre-quelaag? If not where can I find some rockin' equipment? Quelaag (and Blighttown in general) causes me physical anguish. I hate being here.

Dont grind befor anor londo its a waste of time.

Quelagg is easy to chesse with ranged attacks, particularly bows to her human body will stun her, and the summon is extrodinarily tanky.

On bell garygoyle and the golem the summons can all but solo the bosses.

Gapping is 100% optional thought capra is required if you want wotg.

It's a paradise for both leveling up and upgrading your equipment, though. Yeah, if you're used to it, you don't need to grind, but if you face the boss there for the first time the higher stats can really help.

Anor is amazing for leveling. Parry the silver knights. Bonfire. Repeat.

Git gud...even if it sounds rude, it's the truth, with such a powerful weapon and that armor and level it's pretty easy to beat the living ♥♥♥♥ out of quelaag, learn her patterns and roll away

Arguably the best set to have against Quelaag in NG is the Ninja Set. However you're mentioning the DIngy Set... so I'm not sure how things work in your world, or if you're cheating.

You can get the Dingy Set before either Gargoyles and/or Quelaag. You grab 2 specific Fire Keeper souls and bam she's ded. Although, going for the MOST optimized light armor in the game to beat arguably one of the easiest bosses in the game is something I wouldn't recommend over the first comment in the thread. Ninja Set is also poor defense - the chest piece is light, which is its primary advantage. Tattered Cloth set at +3 I believe is better in all respects(fire, poison, physical)
