Royal Woods

so I'm looking for some advice for the Royal Woods.

So I have a Dex Build Character with some Miracles and a bit of Pyromancies. My Dex is at 40, so maxed out if you want wo say so.

But why does my Iato +15 hit those damn Stone Giants with only around 60 Dmg. I tried Lightning Spear (Miracle), not very effective and some Chaos Pyromancies, almost no effect either (Pyro Flame +10)...These Giants are giving me a very hard time, harder than Artorias did and man was he a bitch to defeat!

So I thought it might be useful to invest some points in strengt so that i could wear some hard hitting weapons. Would that be a good idea? I'm open for any other advices because it is a PvE only char so I don't care if the stats are "horribly" distributed.

Unless you just really want to fight them, my suggestion is to wear the Dragoncrest and Fog rings and just avoid them. Their combination of high defense, high damage, and ability to close in very quickly when attacking makes them really frustrating.

I don't really want to fight them but since it is my first time in the DLC I wanted to explore the area a bit and see what I can find.

If you really want to fight, then fight them as if they're bosses, because you won't kill them quick with most dex weapons. A silver knight spear will let you poke at them just out of range of most of their atks if fighting up close is too problematic

Okay, then I'll go back to Anor Londo and go grab me a spear from those silver knights and then farm some upgrade materials. Thanks for the tip!
