Please tell me that Catacombs are optional...
i've died like 100+ times already trying to pass the fскing skeletons... and they revive all the time, they stun-lock, then have amazing fighting combos... and i am trying to finish the game without a shield

to kill the skeletons build a divine weapon. the Catacombs are not an optional area.

Shield + one handed sword with like 150 dmg... is slow

The catacombs is a pretty close quarters area with ledges of death everywhere. Its just poor startegy to fight in an area like that without a shield. Also the first couple skeletons you can boot off the edge and kill them. Then if you can keep killing and bum rush the necromancer they'll stop reviving.

The Catacombs aren't optional, but they can be skipped really easily as shown in this video:

You can use this method to fight Pinwheel and get the 20 estus, but don't go further down until after you get the Lordvessel.

And you will still want to explore the Catacombs if you are a Dex build (Great Scythe) or if you want to join the Darkmoon covenant (Darkmoon Seance Ring). There is also Blacksmith Vamos for fire weapons.

Reviving skeletons can be stopped using a divine weapon or killing the Necromancers.
