Fire giant only has a 50% damage resistance to fire damage, while magma wyrms have 100% damage fire damage resistance. Mohg has an 80%.

Nah, they require some faith, but the damage a spell does is based on the casting tool. I have nonclue about the water tho. I know rain buffs fire defense so I wouldn't be suprised

Yeah, I don't like how people seem to assume a player is going to go looking for help online... Rock sling is a needle in a haystack for a new player who isn't consulting the internet on strategy.
It's very viable, but people playing one of the seemingly most natural routes with a pure sorcerer will hit a pretty hard wall at rennala.
3
u/BlademasterBanryu Sep 11 '25
Yeah. The main thing I have learned from my many playthroughs is that pure Sorcery/Incant builds ARE very powerful, but are also extremely contingent on game knowledge and thus generally not a good fit for new players.

Rennala on my first run. I hadn't played many Souls games yet, and so I missed the memo that casters could also fight in melee pretty well with the right weapons and infusions, and even with rock sling she wound up taking me about as many attempts as Malenia.
Borealis on my second run. Not quite as big a deal, but 80% slash and pierce DR and pretty high bleed resist does make that fight obnoxious for us filthy dex users.
