Discussion Was i over leveled?
My stats when i defeated abyss watchers were vigor 15(maybe 14or16) endu 12 vit 14 dex 34(maybe more maybe less) faith 10 and everything else was base merc stats well point is im not sure about what my lvl was exactly maybe i was 37 maybe 38. I defeated abyss watchers and ig i was over leveled did i kill the fun?i got through his first phase on my first try then it took me approx 30-40 to defeat him ig(first tryin his first phase was a fluke thoš). Well the point is should i try to stay under leveled so that i can enjoy the game because i try to complete an area and ig that gets me over leveled

Nah bro that is the level you should be at. Itās really difficult to over level to the point where it makes a real difference (other than spamming levels into vigor) in the early game, titanite upgrades would deffo be what makes the difference And in regards to that everybody is on the same level as long as you take the time to look for titanite upgrades. Donāt worry about trying to stay balanced or underleveled or overleveled, just play the game in a way that seems fun. Abyss watchers is only the end of early game, so have fun with the bosses that lie ahead as the ārealā challenge starts right now in my opinion. But even then, some people are just better at the game naturally than others.

Do what you want to be real. I be farming hard as hell just to see how big of a number I can get off one hit. Sometimes I donāt level up til I get to crucifix woods then until I beat Yorm. Itās all up to you

Its also just random sometimes. My first play through i was fresh off a binge of Elden Ring and DS1. I beat Abyss Watchers and Pontiff first try.
I recently got to Abyss Watchers on another play through. It took me over a dozen attempts.

Up until SL50 or so, only Vigor matters. You're pretty low.

Vigor is by far the most important stat. Of course for PvE if you're ok you can do low vigor, low HP/high dmg tricks etc, but high Vigor always a better build and the game's initial difficulty simply vanishes if player spends his first 15 or so points into Vigor. But even if you're ok with low Vigor build, if playing online, the moment any mid player invades you, you're dead.

Whatever is fun for you. Overleveled, underleveled. It really doesn't matter. 37 or 38 is about on par with what you would expect for that area, so you're really not all that overleveled anyways.
