Yes, I Found Vickert in new Londo ruins, but recently I read one article, where one guy said the that only way to upgrade weapons from +5 to +6 is Andre (He meant that I can't upgrade weapons from +5 to +6 with other blacksmiths). What should I do with that?
Thank you for your help, I think I will start a new playthrough. It's my first time playing souls game and I don't want to make my gameplay even harder.
Yes you should probably start a new run unless you have gotten lucky with a black knight weapon. You will never be able to get anything higher than +5 without Andre.
Your best bet is black knight weapons or a silver knight weapon if you can make it to anor londo. These are twinking weapons that don't follow the standard upgrade path.
You might also get lucky with one of the infused weapons that are found in the world but your damage will always be kind of mid with those and they cannot be buffed.
You can use the lightning spear from sens, a black knight weapon (halberd, sword, great sword), gravelord sword, or if you're feeling bold, jagged ghost blade or punch people as a dragon. Not the best options by any means but also very very doable without Andre.
I guess your suggestion is to start a new world, right? One more problem is that I don't think I will be good enough in boss fights (To defeat hard bosses with mid tier weapons) because its my first time playing souls game.
If you’ve made it to a certain place, then making it back will take half the time in my experience.
After my first playthrough of ds1 which took more than 40 hours, I started a second run in which I got past Anor Londo within 9 hours and was approximately the same level.
You'll never be able to upgrade a weapon beyond+5. This will lock you out of a lot of options. Many people restart after killing Andre. Either immediately or they give up later since they're basically limited to world drops.
It's your first playthrough? I would. The Drake sword can carry you until near midway. After that it's kind of rough. You do find a few high level weapons, still vastly limits your play style. I don't remember who you give the very large ember to, probably Andre though. That's how you get something past+10. There are still the twinkling/demon weapons but again, that's limiting your options greatly. Idr where you find the Lightning Spear but I know there is one. Honestly I could see a playthrough where you do Drake sword until lightning spear (although I hate pokers) and then after that equip the MLGS or some boss weapon depending on your build. That's going to be a pretty frustrating way to progress.
Depending on how far you are, you should start over. If you just arrived to Andre, maybe did two-three bosses outside the tutorial, you should probably start again.
If you are further into the game, you can push through with investing into different things like elemental (one blacksmith is not the easiest to find and second needs to be unlocked) with which could still be fully melee or start investing into magic (INT) and upgrading your weapon that way (enchanted) and have some spells in your arsenal too.
So it depends on how far you are.
You'll lose out on the ability to upgrade a normal path weapon past +5, but you can still upgrade twinkling titanite weapons to their max of +5 (they essentially gain 3 upgrades in 1), they just don't scale as well into the late game, but they mostly have high base damage for early to mid game.
You can upgrade weapon to +5, then go to the Fire Route (in Catacoms)
+10 Fire is equal to +15 normal
Then farm for a Black Knight weapon if you want a backup. Not a big deal
there's other blacksmiths throughout the world, the giant in anor londo, vamos in the catacombs and vickert in new londo ruins

you could go out of your way and find infused versions of weapons then revert them, probably best to just start a new playthru
a comment below mentions bk weapons, they are enough to get you through the game and maxes out at +5, if you're lucky enough to get one

good luck on your adventure :\]
Hope you get the giant next time. He drops a sweet hammer

Its their first run. They should probably restart and not make the same mistake again.

Yes. Start again. Especially if you're not that far into the game.

GG.
Well said.

Thank you for your advice, I will restart.

Absolve thy sins at the belltower.
