I tried switching to the Greatsword with tentacle arms from the snake dude, that shoots fireshit. Going STR build instead of the INT build I was using. The sword is +9 as I don't have a Dragonstone for it yet. I had a little more trouble with Radagon but both me and the Mimic survived a lot better for some reason to the Elden Beast. Well I got this close (picture below) and after a few more shots at it I decided to go back to the Moon Sword build but I am a lot more squishy then with the same armor etc. I did switch a few Talismans but nothing that would make me survive a lot better. Not sure why I take so much dmg with the INT build unless I don't understand the stats.
I might as well consider I beat the game now and watch the youtubes... kinda tilted after that one.
