I thought my sharp +5 sellsword twinblades had good dps with their L1 attack combo, but apparently not good enough to dispose of the clone before it gets moving
You can still buff Sharp infused weapons, so try using Human Pine Resin if you have any, the extra dark dmg might be enough. Are you at the dex softcap of 40?

I'm level 41 atm, so my dex is sitting at around 26ish as I wanted to up my vitality and endurance a bit.
Tap forward and light atk or heavy atk button at the same time for kick/jump atk respectively, it feels kinda weird but once you found the momentum you will be able to do it more reliably. What kind of gear are you donning now? Maybe a change of weapon might suit your playstyle.
Still the hand axe. I bought a spear but I fucked up and didn't see that I don't actually have the stats for it.

Doing the LP is actually helpful though because I finish every play session unhappy and feeling like I suck but when I watch the footage I get to see that I did better after each death so I guess good job me have a participation medal.
I rolled a Knight on this play through and didn’t realize how heavy their armor is so I have been running around with just pants and gauntlets so I still have the medium roll

here's where I'm at
since finishing anor londo I've mostly just been doing some housekeeping--cleaning up my inventory, improving some weapons and armor, that sort of thing
- I made my halberd Divine in preparation for New Londo
- Cleared out darkwood basin and garden
- I beat Sif on my first try, even though he's a very good boy
- Took his soul and made him into a sword for killing ghosts because I am not fuckin' around with curses
oh I also discovered that keeping liquid humanity on hand just...wildly improves your defenses and item drop rates? apparently I've been playing the game on Kinda Hard mode for most of it.

also, divine weapons also perma kill skelemans, which is useful later for you too
that being said, divine kinda sucks otherwise

yeah I got it for that purpose, my primary is a lightning claymore
Kicking and jump attacks are just real finnicky in ds1, even after hundreds of hours of playing I don't get kicks to come out 100% of the time I want them.

I'm pretty sure it only significantly improves your defenses if you're got a shitton of it. It's good for item farming and curse resistance, but otherwise I'd try not to carry a lot of liquid humanity around.
If you come across a bonfire which gives you only 5 flask, generally it would be a good idea to kindle the bonfire for more if you are not familiar with the area
The crestfallen knight and certain npcs will vaguely give you some directions, don't be afraid to ask for more hints or google if you are stuck though
Edit:
Note to self:
If you have 50k freaking souls use it first before you decide to be cocky and check out a place filled with lava
Man that black knight greatsword does some fuckin damage, huh?
It's nice having enough poise damage to stunlock the snakemen in Sens to death, for once. Though stunlock might not be the right word. I feel like it implies a longer combo instead of just a 1-2.

yup that's one of them
don't worry you're not meant to be able to beat him yet, you can ignore him for now

I ran past him and got the shiny thing and ran back so he killed me outside the corridor so I could retrieve my souls next time. Don't play hard play smart :cool:

Am I supposed to be able to defeat the minotaur thing now? It's hard to tell if I should try going a different way or if I just need to farm some souls and level up a bit

Is that the first real boss, on like a castle wall?
I climbed up the tower the you first exit out of and just fall attack en over and over again.
I haven’t got that far this time so let me see if that still works.

Yes
It's not a great first boss at all
If you still have some firebombs or gold pine resin, you can use them on him

Taurus Demon is on the normal progression route, yes. There's some cheese you can do by paying attention to the environment. Also, it's totally possible for it to just kill itself of the edge if you're super lucky.

I have very few firebombs and I don't know what gold pine resin is. I will try the drop attack thing.

Also, I noticed my axe's durability is like 150/250. Does that mean it's doing less damage or is it just a countdown to it breaking? And how do I fix it? Also can I sell stuff or should I just dump all these extra cracked shields.
Big thing for me when fighting Taurus Demon the first time was just realizing I could block his attacks. I just assumed I couldn't block a giant axe with a head larger than I am, but it turns out you can.
Just a countdown to it breaking! You can fix stuff either at a smith or at a bonfire if you buy the tools
You can sell off extra equipment for souls, yes
The tools can be bought from that merchant in the undead burg, by the way. It's called the repairbox. I think he also sells repair powder, which is a consumable and only repairs your weapon, but if you don't have the souls for the repairbox yet and desperately need your weapon repaired, they're a cheaper, one-use option.

When you've been doing boss runs, have you been fighting every enemy along the way, or just dashing past them?

I don't really know where I'm going, or where I'm meant to be going. I'm assuming if I can get through enemies that's the way I should go.
Should I be kindling bonfires?
Yes please.
You don't need to kindle the Firelink bonfire though since there is an associated quest
This means you don't have to worry about using it up for kindling and co-op
A few enemies will drop humanity items you can farm at any time, for example the rats

its wayyyyyyy too strong for something you can just luck into before the first boss

Some people use it to kill the Black Knight early
It adds additional elemental damage to your weapon but it wears off after a while
You can sell off extra equipment for souls, yes
Selling extra equipment is possible but it’ll be a while before you can.
In that case you can just dump 'em or put them in the inventory box the merchant sells
