The second episode of Hermit's Hour of Power. In this episode I obtain enough souls to level my character's Strength and Dexterity stats to their desired values, obtain and upgrade a Pyromancy Flame to +10, acquire enough Humanity for Chaos Storm, and start chipping away at farming for enough upgrade materials to upgrade a variety of weapons, shields, and armour.


Hermit's Hour of Power is a multi-part series in which I work towards obtaining powerful weapons, collecting useful equipment, farming upgrade materials, slaying bosses, and more. Each episode will be interconnected in some way (such as farming upgrade materials for later use), however, each episode "can" be performed independently from previous or future episodes to an extent.
