Tutorial vanguard takes a little while, phalanx is just cringe but not too horrible as long as you get the shield to +2 (3 shards from the tutorial, 3 from the area, and you need to get the 7th as a drop from a hoplite). The spiked shield in this game is pretty strong, it's got the same stats as the scimitar and if you bother farming bladestone you can even sharp infuse it. This playthrough isn't too hard, but I did it in the other souls games so I wanted to do it here just for completions sake. Biggest downside of the spiked shield vs an actual weapon is you can't buff it and in DeS that's a huge downside since BPR exists and makes most runs a lot easier. The other big thing is it's reach and hitbox are noticeably bad paired with middling speed makes landing hits more of a chore than it needs to be.
