Fastest way to Agape Ring at the lowest SM possible

[Glori4n]

So lately I've been trying to figure out what's the fastest and most efficient way to Agape ring, and I think I've come pretty close to an ansewer, here's a video of my run step by step.

Of course the intent is to make a god-tier twinker with access to everything +10 at the lowest SM possible.

I wonder if there are any faster methods out there?

yea dude.
just go cheese dragon rider.
kill flexile.
open gate. grab key. shoot barrels. get fragrant branch
youll be at agape ring with 20K sm but, you need 30k to get it.
i can tell you how to +10 a weapon by 40ksm
but thats a story for another day. :P

You can get +10 as soon as you get the small soap: just farm smooth&silkies and try the crow roulette. Obviously best done when getting the agape ring

best way is to go straight to Heides, skip all the enemys and challenge the dragonrider without pulling levers, then do the same thing in No Mans Wharf except you need to pull the lever here, open the shortcut, use bonfire if you have to, then kill flexile, then just be careful in lost bastille killing stuff until you get to staid

You need 28k for the ring anyway but you should be near that

Homie mule?) Loool.
Just do a low lvl run or use CE to save your time.

Even if there would be "faster" methods (below 26k SM) out there, it would make no difference, because the Agape Ring is walled behind 30k SM.

Riiight... How would you go about upgrading stuff with so little souls? Wouldn't they be better used for, lets say levels?

It's actually 30k, might as well go for 39k so as to get more souls while staying on the same tier.

Whatever is a CE? I really think a low level run wouldn't be as fast as having a homie mule :)

Yeah, thing is I've only realized that once I actually got to Straid and I was like: "oh crap!".

-also, a +10 weapon can go just as far as a few skill points.
you also get free chunks in belfry
and all the free materials u need in lizards and valley.
you can also dip into ng+/dlcs and get already upgraded weapons that require little souls to max out.
:)

Ahh, gotcha, might as well dump the levels in favour of getting them upgraded myself.
I wish I could join, the groups in ps4 might not be as active as PC :S

Oh, but what CE stands for?

Cheat Engine. Some people are lazy. I personally don't see the appeal.
If i were to skip the gameplay required to get everything i want, i'd probably wouldn't have fun playing that game anymore in the first place.

This^. I have absolutely no objection to agape ring builds, as long as you EARN that gear the hard way. In fact all of my new builds start with the agape ring to control my souls until I have my desired build. CE is just lazy and a very slippery slope. Once it's running, it's so easy to start using hacks and next thing you know, you're machine gunning corrosive urns like an a$$ hat.

Depends on the person
I actually enjoy teleporting people to empty bosses arenas and 1 vs 1 them there. I'm still learning how to use cool visual effects and costume spells. I also like to explore impossible places with fly script to see how the game is made and play a bit with free camera. I only have used godmode and nuke spoon against other cheaters.

I can agree to some extent, but for many, the temptation is too much. That said, I have ran into a few cool cheaters too. One dude summoned me for co op and used custom pyromancies with some cool effects like basic fireballs errupting into flame pillars and stuff like that. It was also cool that he was't invading and was doing co op instead. I also saw a pretty cool Leonardo ninja turtle cosplay and a dude using a zweihander with a curved sword moveset. But these are by far the rarity. The other a$$hat kinds of cheaters are much more common.
