Posted on October 29th, by 'Author' in Guides.

If you're looking for a challenging yet rewarding experience in the Dark Souls series, then look no further than this comprehensive review and guide to creating an unstoppable scholar build. In this article, we'll cover everything from choosing your starting class all the way through to optimizing your gear selection so that when faced off against even the toughest foes.

To begin our journey into becoming a formidable force on the battlefield, first things first - you must choose your starting class carefully. As mentioned earlier, for this particular build I highly recommend selecting either Dark Knight or Sorcerer as these two classes offer unparalleled damage output while still retaining decent survivability options late game should they ever be needed.

The next step after choosing which path to take (and trust me folks), is deciding upon equipment that fits their playstyle best. For those new players out of luck without prior knowledge regarding how item stats work let's quickly cover the basics:

Now onto some specific recommendations for each class:

Dark Knight:

- Use any heavy or great sword with high physical damage (preferably ones like Claymore)

- Shield: Any shield will do but prefer ones that give more blocking chance such as Dragonite Greataxe +5

- Helmets: Dark Sets are good choices due to their increased resistances against magic attacks

Sorcerer:

- Staffs with high cast speed and spell damage (preferably ones like Great Magic Bolts)

- Rings/Amulets: Look for those that boost intelligence stat since sorcs rely heavily on it

- Shoes: Fastest pair possible, preferably ones such as Gwyn's Ashes Boots +5

Now onto the meat of things:

Once you've got your equipment sorted out, let's talk about combat strategies. As a Dark Knight or Sorcerer player, your main goal will be to stay alive while dealing massive amounts of damage to enemies.

For Dark Knights:

- Use heavy swings and charge attacks whenever possible

- Stay close to opponents so they can't spam normal attacks at you from afar

- Try not to get hit by magic spells unless absolutely necessary

As for Sorcerers:

* Cast your strongest elemental magics frequently (preferably fire or lightning)

+ Keep moving constantly; don't stay in one spot long enough for them to catch up with a powerful physical attack.

+ If cornered, use Teleportation spell and get outta there fast!

And that concludes our guide on how to create an unbeatable scholar build in Dark Souls II: Scholar of First Asylum. Remember guys - practice makes perfect! Happy gaming!
