-FIXED- GWA – Perfect Start (100 percent Legit) Savefile
100% legit gameplay. Start with Somber Smithing Stones 1 to 9 to upgrade any weapon. 100k runes (from big dragon). 52 Grace Points unlocked.
NO BOSS killed, NO QUEST CHAIN broken.
Overview
How did I do it?: Basically, I have followed these youtube videos;
1. AngBata Guide to getting Somber smith stones 1-9 without killing anything
2. Fighting Cowboy Complete Walkthrough (Upto the end of Part 3)
What does this give you?: A clean slate, flexible starter without any more setup. Can get straight into playing the game. That’s over 4 hours of 100% legit gameplay, with NO QUESTS BROKEN and with NO BOSS KILLS. The whole game is open to you, but you can upgrade a weapon to near max to do good damage and make it a little easier. Since this is 100% legit, you can use this online.

4. PROOF of No Broken Quest / Game Progression: Since lots of people commented that I may have broken quests, here is a detailed breakdown to prove I haven’t. The Side Quests wiki lists every quest, and I have commented about every single person you meet in the areas I have travelled to
a. White-Faced Varre: Spoke to him at the start, then again after I made it round table hold. He’s still in Limgrave and expects you to beat Godrick The Grafted
b. Boc the Seamster: Freed Boc from his tree form in Limgrave. You can now meet him at Costal Cave later.
c. Roderika: She’s in the roundtable hold and agreed to learn from Smithing Master Hewg
d. D Hunter of the Dead: Spoke to him at Stormhill after the bridge. You now have to kill the boss in Summonwater Village to progress
e. Thops: Not met him yet.
f. Hyetta: Not met her yet.
e. Kenneth Haight: Met him. Liberated his fort. Went back to him for Erdsteel Dagger. Accepted his accord. Now you have to meet him back at the fort.
g. Ranni the Witch: Met her. Got spirit summon. Next part of the quest is to goto Ranni’s Rise which is much later than my save.
h. Iron Fist Alexander: Found him in Northern Stormhill and freed him. Now you have to go meet him at Gael Tunnel
i. Blaidd: Got emote from Merchant Kale, summoned Blaidd. He helped me kill Darriwil to get Bloodhound Fang Sword. Now you have to meet him much later.
j. Fia: Her questline starts later than this save.
k. Sorceress Sellen: Haven’t met her.
l. Bloody Finger Hunter Yura: Haven’t met him.
m. Patches: Haven’t met him
j. Rya: Progressed till I got the invitation to Volcano Manor (needed it for the somber smithing stones). You have to do some stuff at the manor to trigger the next part of the quest.
