Indeed it helped alot. I bought a Dread Broadsword(though i cursed myself right after, for there was a Dread Flamberge which i could have afforded, and it was better
), then used all my points to gain 60 strength and another point in celerity, and something else for Wilhelm. I didnt even lose too much HP this time...the golem was a piece of cake aswell! I guess i shouldnt be that lazy in the future...
