Finally got the Avelyn after a few attempts. The first one was just pure fail. The second one - I was able to open the chest and then die when two arrows came from behind from those blood-raging crystal faggots, and then had a few failed timing issues (one time was falling off with a Darkmoon player LOL) before I was able to grab the weapon on top of the bookshelf.
Also recently made my own Lightning Zweihander, although +1 only so far but I'm seeing results with this weapon already. A bit too slow though. Will prolly just use it for plunging attacks at the moment. Not to mention I might use it for PvP in the meantime, then replace the BK sword altogether if I can get the Zwei beyond +3 or +4; I'm short on Titanite Chunks. I've also heard about Balder Knights from New Londo Ruins having a common drop of them chunks, but I haven't touched that place since the moment they (ghosts) surrounded me via no clipping. Haven't gone to farming for transient curses against them either.
Still currently around SL60 because I don't want to level up. From what I know, most of the players are either 60 or 90. I'll probably move to SL 90 on NG+.
Edit: Added something; the bolded word in post
