First of all. Convergence is a very magic focused mod for Dark Souls 3 which adds tons of new spells and new bosses. Is vastly different than the normal DS3. At first, I will be spamming spells till I get decent spellcasting capability and a decent weapon. Cryomacners starts with a frost dagger and cryo """flames""", which is far worse than DS3 vanilla pyro which starts with a great axe and flames.

That said, the beginning is not THAT different. Except the bosses. Bellow, screenshot of the first boss. The second boss is identical.

After some time playing, I had meet my first hard boss. The Archdruid Caimar. With only basic cryomancies I could't do much against him and he was 2HKilling me, so I decided to go exploring the map and my next move is to reach the Painted world ASAP to get better Cryomancies. The tome and the unique vendor is there

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continued to play, fought the crystal sage, unlocking the road to the cathedral and there, entered the painted world.

There, I got my "Catalyst" and found the cryomancy tome necessary to learn better cryomancies. Also got the necessary stats to wield my ice sword.

With better cryomancies, decided to try again vs the archdruid. Failed the first time after letting him almost without hp. And in the second time, I've killed him.

Now I will be doing the Cathedral and going to kill deacons of the deep.

------------------------------------

Exploring the Cathedral was a bit different than in vanilla but the boss was the same. Except that in the mod, he was far easier. Due Abyssal comet. This spell is amazing. I can just cast it, reduce their numbers, attack the "glowing red" enemy and proceed to attack the next red. Wait till my FP regens and repeat. I only died once in this boss.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Cleared everything around the keep, the new boss and tried to kill Abyss watchers, but failed a couple of times, so I decided to grind and kill other bosses.

This "double" boss bellow in particular worth 120k souls.

After grinding a bit, with better eqquipment, decided to try again vs Abyss Watchers.

And now, the next step is catacombs

In Catacomb, nothing changed much from vanilla. Found the necro NPC, Nether ring to boost my dark damage and proceded to fight the boss

Then, accessed the hidden magma area from the broken bridge before the boss and started to clear it.

This area will gonna be easy as they are weak to my Cryomancies.

----------------------------------------------------

Continuing. After clearing the area bellow catacombs, I killed the boss which was quite easy and then, started to grind some mobs for more xp.

Avalanche spell is extremely good for farming mobs. As you can see bellow :

Reached teh Chapel and then, started to climb to Anor Londo. There, killed an frost dragon miniboss

Died a couple of times but killed the boss there with a ice spear to the face

And moved to kill the Dancer which was quite easy with all of my OP stuff

Also made a extremely powerful ring. Now I have 4 rings boosting my Cryomancy/dark damage.

Also tried a couple of times to complete the painted world DLC, but a 3 stage boss fight was too hard. Here is my first death to the stage 3. Executed by decapitation.

But after a couple of tries, killed her and unlocked a new area, but decided to move back to dungeons and kill the Giant boss. He was not THAT hard, but I played far more using spells and barely hit him on melee since the camera is too confuse during this boss fight.

After it, upgrated my frozen flame to the maximum level.

After killing 4 great bosses, unlocked a portal to the realm of moonlight. There I fought Pontiff, hsi first phase is like vanilla but his second phase is too strong and I failed multiple times to defeat him.

So I decided to do the other DLC content and there, killed the Demon prince and reached the city
