A comic in 3 panels
Panel 1: Melina sits near a Site of Grace. She proffers her hand.
Melina: Shall I turn your runes to strength?
Panel 2: A Tarnished wearing ornate heavy armor, and a red cloak with gold trim sits opposite Melina.
Tarnished: Well I sure ain’t here to turn ‘em to DEX
Panel 3: Close up of the Tarnished’s face. Images of strength based weapons, such as Ghiza’s Wheel, can be seen behind him.
Tarnished: That’s for fuckin’ sure


I’ve never played a STR build! Anyone have a build they really like, and a recommendation on an early weapon? I’d like to do another playthrough and big smash sounds fun!
STR build 101:
Find the heaviest weapon you can. Bonk.
Find the heaviest armor you can. Anti-bonk.
No armor. Armor for little weaklings. Only real way to play is full nude. Nothing but you, the enemy, and the biggest stick you can find.
The two builds I played were an int caster and a str big bonk. The caster had a much easier time with bosses but open world was more dangerous. The opposite for the str build, had to learn more timing and patterns for bosses but open world was a smash fest. Great sword in caelid is easy to get early and is pretty great, just pumping up str and hp/end and a little dex just to meet weapon requirements.
Try a lot of different weapons. Greatswords are fun, but big hammers are awesome too. I think the great club is easy to get early hammer
