Dual swords are not the best weapon to work through the beginning. I suggest using the great sword or hammer to power through the beginning, then work on using DS and upgrade as you go. Try to get sharpness+1, or razor sharp for the DS. It lowers sharpnesss quickly. When you get really far, Hallowed Jhen armor gives both sharpness+1 and razor sharp. Very good.

Slime weapons are very overpowered, so use it if you want to power through, but it is boring that way.
