Part of Ds2's beauty is how unique everyone can customize their runs due to the many possibilities in what order to tackle the Great Ones. I feel like each one of the 4 is actually a viable option to go for early on and all have rewards worth your time.

So, if you have a preference, who do you go for first, Sinner, Freya, Rotten or the Old Iron King?

As for myself, I usually bash Sinner first because her areas are great to start with. Some easy enemies but also great loot awaits you on the path to her, for example, the Blossom Kite shield, a Pyromancy flame, an easy 6 weapon of your choice, McDuff's infusions, you name it.

Next run I wanna try to beat up Iron King as number 1 because I was thinking of doing a Smelter cosplay and early access to a DLC sounds like a challenge I wanna try once.
