I went through the entire game initially without going above 20 until the very last boss lol. I got stuck for so long, I had to reallocate my points to 40 vigor

[@dr.veronica6155]

To answer your question about Alexander, yes, he is in fact sticking the bodies of fallen warriors into his jar body and mashing them down into blood paste. That seems to be the origin of Warrior Jars as a whole, and the stronger the warriors inside, the stronger the Warrior Jar. So Alexander collected a bunch of the corpses of Radahn's and his enemy's armies and used them to make himself stronger, as well, it appears, as part of Radahn himself, which ends up giving him real cool elemental effects on some of his attacks later. And the reason the stars fell after you won is because General Radahn is so cool and so strong that he was insane for years, and fought you, all while still using the majority of his power to essentially create a gravity shield around the planet that prevented the stars, and the creatures that live therein, from coming down to the surface. That's also why he rides such a tiny horse despite being such a large man. He loved that horse, Leonard, since he was young, but realized he was getting too big to ride him, so he mastered gravity magic in order to make himself light enough to continue riding his favorite horse. He's ultimately portrayed through lore as one of the most sympathic and generally decent of the gods and demigods. And you're probably dying so much because moreso than any other FromSoft game, you *need* to level your HP stat in this game. You're just going to get one-shot by every late game boss if you don't.

He's certainly one of if not my favorite Boss for myself, with both his presentation, his boss fight, the absolute size of the lad that is hilariously on top of his horse Leonard (yes, that tiny horse has a name), and his lore of being an absolute giga-chad. You wanna know how he'd able to ride his horse? I'll tell you: when he got so big that riding Leonard would've been considered animal abuse, he walked over to Caelid and went to fucking school to master Gravity magic to the point he can hold back *fucking stars* just he can continue to ride the lanky fucker without hurting him. Even when maddened by scarlet rot, he loves that damn horse enough to consider him practically as a part of himself and not eat him.

To upgrade your weapons you need smithing stones. There are two weapon categories in regards to upgrade, Regular and Unique. Regular needs Smithing Stones(yellow ish ones), which comes in stage [1] to [8](plus special one for final +25). Unique needs Somber Smithing Stones(blue-white ones), [1] to [9](and again, special one for last +10 upgrade). Shen's scythe is a unique weapon so she needs white ones. Each upgrade tier needs specific tier of smithing stones, and she seems to not have any Somber Smithing Stone[5], leaving her unable to use her [6]s regardless of how many she has that specific tier of.
