Is using a bonfire ascetic advisable on Freja?

[John Faraday]

I'd really like to have the real moonlight sword instead of the crappy fake blue one Jugo offers, but I'm not on NG+ yet.

up to you. very common thing done btw.

Why not? If you could dodge her on NG, you can dodge her on NG+

Well, it's less the about boss that I'm worried about, and more about the path to the boss itself.

That and the fact I hear NG+ stacks with ascetics making the area NG++

wait until later if you just beat her. or try it just summon2 decent looking phants

It is easy to run throught, I took some time for me to get used to it, but you will really fast. Just try not to get hit a lot ^.^

Eh, all the difficulty bumps in NG+s after the first are largely irrelevant.

[John Faraday]

Okay, thanks for all of the advice I'll go try it soon.

[rapu ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

I beat NG++++ Freja without even going to NG+. It's really easy. The only problem are the little spiders.

MLGS isn't that great since the nerf, IMO a claymore is much better thanks to its strong poke + 360 spin. But if you really wanted it for a build or just to try, why not, go for it.

I did it on my sorcerer, never looked back.
If the path to the boss is too much for you (2 phantoms simultaneously), then you can just rush through to the room full of webbings.

Edit: AFAIK, the jump in difficulty from ng to ng+ is bigger than ng+ to ng++, etc.

One new enemy, that is it.

Id do it, you have a good chance of help as well since many people farm her for the MGS and Crystal soul spear.

If you plan to do this there's a locked door that needs a key in the big hall prior to freja you'll see spiders hanging from the ceiling, once you beat her the first time you will eventually get the key for that door. I advise not opening that door if you plan to use bonfire ascetics. If you have a decent weapon or great heavy souls arrows, most of the spiders can still be oneshotted even at bonfire intensity 3.

MLGS is still crazy good for int-based builds that can afford the str/dex. Unsplit pure magic damage.

Anyway, I did around eight runs to stock up on casts of Crystal Soul Spear. Getting to the fog gate room is pretty easy once you know how, but there's a lot of spiders to kill in there before you can enter the gate. The boss actually gets pretty frustrating at NG+7 due to the amount of life it has, if I kill one of the heads my NPC summon tends to cause Freja to turn so much getting another hit is near impossible until he dies.

If your a sorc, you must do it.
