Not sure how the advanced weapon upgrading works in DS1, but I’d do some online research before you start doing a lot of upgrades. In DS3, I’d infuse a curved great sword with a sharp gem, that way it’s damage scales with my dexterity. Different gems scale different stats. Different weapons are better than others with different gems.
i'm reading about it in the guide today.

Only died 6 times last night, 4 times at the same boss. (fuckin gargoyles)

First death happened over an hour and 15 minutes into play time.

Go me!
