If you don't get help, two-hand and R1 spamming works remarkably better than trying to out-skill or make precise decisions. What is your highest upgrade of weapon?

Uh, not really. +3 should be just enough to power through them - I first-try'd them two days ago after a huge multi-year break by just two-handing a Claymore, equipping heaviest armor before 70% breakpoint, and going full Leeeeeeeerooooyy.

There are some ways to get your weapon to +5 +7 or even +9 before Abyss Watchers, but I wouldn't say that it is ideal or even easy for a first playthrough. +5 is easy to reach by just going through Ariandel. If you just want a coop I could help.

Yeah, Ariandel has quite a few world loot items which are Large Titanite. I agree that it's not ideal to rush this kind of upgrade until you're honed-in on the weapon you wanna use for the rest of the game, as the opportunity to buy Large Titanite won't be until Anor Londo.

Ah, Abyss Watchers, yeah they can be a bit rough. Most of the difficulty comes from the chaos that is the first phase.

For a number of builds, you can expect to be on the defensive quite a bit in the first phase. For starters, just try and focus on surviving the chaos, and taking advantage of when they split up. Once you start getting comfortable in the chaos, then you need to pay attention to which one is which. This is something that kinda needs to be done in any boss fight that involves more than one enemy.

By the time you are comfortable with the chaos, and able to track which Abyss Watcher is which, you should have a good idea of their move set, some of which is parry-able if you are willing to risk it. At this point you should be able to start making it to phase 2 more regularly, and hopefully with more resources than prior attempts.

I wouldn't really recommend Ariandel to someone thats new and struggling with Abyss Watchers. It is quite literally throwing fresh meat to the wolves. Not to mention the Corvian Knights later on too. Though who knows, maybe they will have better luck against the wolves?

I agree to both of you. Rushing to Ariandel just to get the weapons upgraded might not be the best option for a first playthrough for a lot of reasons. The enemies in that area can be a chalenge and leveling up a weapon you might not use in the future is also not a good deal. I'm just mentioning it because I've done that in a SL1 run, tho, It's indeed an option.
