two things I wish I knew

The purple hammer standard attack breaks enemies guards, you can use it at any time during your combo, if they block, 1 hammer attack and continue your combo with the whip.

And that you can not only add enhancements to the secondary weapons but the second bonus is active even when not using the secondary weapon. I put the damage reduction, evade window +25%, and hp regen over time fully buffed to my secondaries and I strolled through the last few levels on apocalyptic with only level 1 health.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say I beat the game twice on apocalyptic before I knew..

If it makes you feel any better, I was about done with The Scar on my first playthrough before I realized there was an inventory where the souls were stored.

It was right before the second Wrath fight, so I had pretty much scoured the game for all the stuff I could find. I'd say it's at least 30 levels worth of exp.

All enchantments have a passive buff, present at all times if you have it equipped and an active buff, if you're using it on the weapon you are actively using.

And charged attack with any weapon breaks shields.

I have learned a couple of things on this thread about shielded enemies that I didn't know before, I was using force hollow only with these enemies which then took me a long time to kill, thanks !!!
Now I'm on my 3rd playthrough this time on Apocaliptic and here is my advice about "luminous visage"

Don't use them until late game, for example I saved 8 of them and used them before Gluttony boss and now I'm level 58, and I haven't entered The Scar yet.

Also, don't upgrade any enchantment, save all the artifacts and your 1st chosen essense for the juggernaut enchantment which will give you 25% damage reduction, specially for apocaliptic runs, that was the 1st enchantment I upgraded to balanced and trust me these +30% physical damage + 25% physical damage reduction is awesome.
