The ones I tend to have the most fun with are paladins using most types of miracles but most upgraded miracles are useful in some way.

@@grubby9486 In my experience Faith Builds work best when u start out as a Tank pilling up VIgor and Vitality with Good Armor and later skill more Faith and Attunment. As a tank u benefit more from the healing miracles and u get faith when u get reall damaging miracles. Worked for me in every Dark Souls game so far.

It did take him 3 whole days to beat Iudex so you could argue he was the biggest obstacle.

[@chrismanuel9768]

He has two "death" animations. One if you kill him and he dies. This is the canonically moral and good thing to do, but much harder. Then there's the second one, where you destroy his bracelets. His protective bracelets. That prevent him from being swallowed by the Abyss, where his soul would be condemned to incomprehensible suffering beyond the end of time. You actually watch him in that death animation getting pulled backwards into the darkness as he reaches out, desperate for anything or anyone that can save him, fearful beyond death in a way only a tortured and ageless soul ever could be. Only a monster would destroy his bracelets. So anyhow that's what he did here. No killing! He's guaranteed to live forever and ever and ever now, down in the deepest center of the Abyss! Yay! Pacifism!

11:32 "Murders a guy in cold blood by blasting him down a hole" Then keeps murdering people with the armor of the holed guy. Well to be honest if a guy like that claims to be a pacifist the wisest choice is to just go along with it for your own safety.

Friendly tip for Aldrich second phase arrow barrage: As soon as he starts casting it stick to the walls and keep rolling the perimeter, the arrows will follow you up to the wall and then they will lose the tracking, practically nullifying the whole effect. Tested multiple times in low SL runs and it works like a charm!

[@nathanjora7627]

As far as I know he could also just cast vow of silence. Aldrich shouldn't be able to do any ranged attack anymore. Though you must've talked to yuria and have a talisman and enough faith

I honestly don't want to :/ Miracles are the most fun to play with in DS3 to me, thanks to ashen estuses, the return of mana, bonus damage for lightning at close range and of course poise casting, but there are too many too frustrating things for me to consider it worthy compared to a pure sorcery or pure pyromancy playthrough, and frankly it's ridiculous that the issues that have plagued miracle builds sinve DS1 haven't been resolved in DS3, with only a couple having been resolved in DS2.
