Would infusing this with bleed stone be a good idea?
I’ve heard that bleed damage scales with Faith and Dexterity, and I’m thinking of making a Dex-Faith build soon.

bleed damage does not scale in ds2, it is always a flat 200. the bleed BNS stat only effects how much bleed *buildup* your bleed attacks inflict, letting you inflict bleeding quicker and thus more often

This weapon may have become the blades of mercy in bb

considering that Bloodborne and the vanilla version of DS2 were being developed at the same time by different teams, probably not. one of the devs for the DS2 DLCs might have seen the Blades of Mercy at some point and been inspired to make an homage, though

So it's a coop weapon? It heals only allies and not the player?

I'm still planning to kill Alsanna anyway

A bit late but it seems that after using the ability a few times on the third it will start healing you as well

It requires 11 faith not 14.

Kinda reminds me of that healing touch spell from Demon's Souls - the one that completely sucked ***. The healing spell on this sucks ***, too, but at least you can beat people to death with this one.

Still can't hold a candle to Royal Greatsword's 26/18/22 requirements. That thing is just evil.

I think high strength reqs on dex weapons are fromsoft trying to get you to two hand them.

I platinumed DS3 while the servers were down so clearly I have some tolerance for pointless grinding but this is one item in a FromSoft game where I'm just like "No, I have better things to do with my life"

You don't need the weapon for any trophy

"You don't need the weapon for any trophy" It is a personal achievement.

Agreed. 100% DS1, DS2, and DS3 all offline, but not doing this cr*p.
"A personal achievement" Repeatedly killing enemies for hours when you are not going to use the armour, or the weapon... more of a personality flaw

What bothers me the most isn't even the grind itself, but the enemies being inside a boss arena and their spawn rate being affected by if the Ivory King is alive or not. I love the Ivory King fight, but if I want this item, then I have to force myself to NOT fight him before I finish, which is really annoying. Maybe a bit less of a problem since Ascetics are a thing, but those knights are really tough enemies so using one would complicate things.

28/Feb 2024, I've grinded the loyce souls, for the king's armor, and it's been 100+ hours but I Simply can't stop wearing this armor... Easily within top 5 armors of the game

A "personal achievement" that only shows you have a lot of spare time and little to no value for it.

"Alsanna quietly found a place at the Ivory King's side [until] his strength was fully drained,"
Relationships, am I right?

I killed the Ivory King got his crown then went to Alsanna she accepted 5 souls and defrosted part of the stairs, I went back to the hole and jumped in a column of white light rises up and takes you back to the main room again if you need it I have been farming souls for about two hours and have 10 plus armour and weapons, does not seem difficult just 3 knights, I use the twin blade with lightening , jesters hat, prisoners tatters and gold ring+1, why are players complaining it is just a game after all!

People do not enjoy needlessly long/punishing grinds.

There is an art to balancing rare drops/grinding and not respecting peoples time.

But you are also right, if you are going to grind, you best better game the process in your favor.
