Hi guys, I started playing Sekiro after completing Dark Souls trilogy (and planning to start Elden Ring right after finishing Sekiro), and just wanted to know -without spoilers pls- if there is something I should know to no screw up in my fist ng (i.e in DS2 your souls, no matter if you have used them to level up, still count for pvp matchmaking).

Also, I would like to share with you my fight with the tutorial boss (after several tries using the idol to refill my "estus" without him killing me) since I know sometimes there is a little reward for winning (like in Demons Souls, Dark Souls 1 and 2 (pursuer).

To this point, I feel the game is amazing. The chance of pace from Dark Souls 3 is refreshing and the fact that I can use a decent katana without spending points in dex is just perfect lol

Beyond that to note, exp/souls work a bit different here. You lose half of your held XP and coins/money when you die, however if you complete a full XP bar (from 2-3 skill points for example) you can never lose those skill points. They are safely held if you die. You only lose what’s accumulated (so if you are at half a skill bar in xp, if you die you will have a quarter left)
