Legacy Dungeons are the MAIN dungeons, the big, full-fledged places like Stormveil that usually hold major storyline bosses.
When people talk about chalice dungeons they're typically talking about the Catacombs dungeons, which are built on the same "tiled" structure as the randomized Chalice Dungeons in Bloodborne.
The weapon is called,
Sacred Relic Sword and you get it from the final boss' Remembrance.
It's requirements aren't even very high, 14 Str, 24 dex, 22 faith.

Legacy dungeons would be the bigger, unique places like
Stormveil or the Academy, or even smaller ones like Redman Castle or Caria Manor.
when people say "chalice dungeon" they mean the catacombs and mines which all share a similar visual style with different layouts, similar to how the random chalice dungeons in Bloodborne were (the catacombs look very similar too, visually)
At 47hrs finished? you have probably missed half of the optional stuff.
I am drinking tonight therefore no boss fight for me. I went back to Stormveil Castle to explore more and realized I missed a lot. There is even another
there. They really went all out with this area. I'm not expeting the rest of the game to have such a big dungeon.
So what better to tackle next? Caelid or the mage academy?

I do not know how they finished in 47hrs. I just made it to the
second area
I's more than enough so far for me. Even though I would have like a better looking one
If I don't want any of the remembrance items, should I just pop them for runes? Is there anything else they do or will eventually do?
I still have 3 main bosses to go, but so far it is, From's bosses are unmatcjed
I like the changes to reapers, they were really bad in DS3 but they're so much better here. They're fast with decent damage, range and bleed build-up, and they actually made a proper critical hit animation rather than stabbing with the blunt end of the pole.
I was getting frustrated with piercing weapons whiffing so I tried out a faith-scaling one on a whim and it's much easier to use.

So can I no longer get the Nagakiba?
I was doing the Yura questline and I got to the Second Church of Marika step. However when I got there... nothing happened. He wasn't there and the fight never happened. Now I finally got the snowy area and he's there... but it's someone who took his body? I went back to the Church and the Assassin fight happened and I got their rewards but... still not the Nagakiba. What gives?
I about to hit 40 hours and I'm just now wrapping up my second zone. Platinuming this in 47 hours is extremely impressive to me.
Go back to the spot you originally meet him and its on the floor
I assume so, but just to be sure....did you
Do both the Agheel dragon fight in limgrave and talk to him after, get invaded and have him 'rescue' you also in said lake, and then go to his summon sign right outside the Raya Lucaria north bridge area in liurnia?
I don't know if it's bleed over from the eastern side of Caelid (which is definitely a later-game zone) affecting some mobs on the western front in terms of enemy health/damage, but Caelid does seem out of 'sync' with the rest of the game's progression from Limgrave/Weeping Peninsula --> Sofria/Liurnia --> Altus Plateaus and beyond as a general 'progression' sense.
I looked up a list of bosses and locations on a wiki. I beat every almost unique boss in the game. The only boss I appear to have missed that isn't a copy-pasted fight is potentially one of the field dragons, although all the field dragon fights are pretty similar.
Everything from Fire Giant through to the end, including fighting the optional boss in the next to last zone, took me under 2 hours if you want a sense of what sort of pace I went through the game at.
I 1shot most bosses and 2shot most of the ones I didn't 1shot. The only bosses that took me more than 2 tries were Godrick, Magma Wyrm (the one in the small tunnel boss room), Radahn, Astel, Mhog 2, and Malenia. Of those, only Malenia took more than 6 or so attempts. I have cleared Dark Souls 1 dozens of times and every other Souls game at least ten times so I'm pretty well practiced at this kind of game (this did not stop me from dying in many embarrassing ways). It helped that Mimic Tear is so broken with a heavy melee build, it's like having one of the heavy armored Dark Souls 2 summons with no added HP penalty for using them.
I did use a guide to figure out how to get to Malenia and how to unlock the Frenzied Flame ending, as well as how to find a few of the "legendary" items that I was missing for achievements (missed around 2 or so for each category).
Looking over a list of optional dungeons, there's around four or five I think I missed. I know I missed a few NPC sidequests but it was stuff I didn't want to bother with like finding all the seedbeds for Dung Eater, finding all the eyes for the blind maiden, etc.
On a side note, speaking of time and 1shotting bosses: Malenia probably would have taken me longer, but instead of getting good enough to figure out her OHKO attack combo or upgrading my weapon past +22 I just used the HP boosting great rune and the +HP ring along with (what I assume is) the best physical reduction armor in the game and the high physical reduction talisman to give myself over 2,500 HP and around 50% physical damage reduction, so she couldn't oneshot me no matter how much I sucked. This strategy worked on basically everything for the rest of the game, and I 1shot everything except for the last optional boss and the final boss just cause nothing could outright kill me instantly and I could kill them faster than I'd run out of estus flasks.
EDIT: Final level was 146 btw

Question. I'm playing Vagabond and I'm fairly new to the game. I got my ass kicked several times because he was so relentless. I decided to try spirit wolves and he became a joke.
Are encounters built around them, they are OP early, or they easy mood? I tried googling it but it's spolier city

depends on the encounter and the spirit. Some will get deleted pretty quickly later on and even the OP one isn't always super helpful unless you already have an OP build.
the spirit summons are always powerful, since you can upgrade them and there is a particular one that most people are using that is flat out busted.
I just want to say thanks for mentioning this sidequest because I totally missed it and the weapons you get for completing it are AMAZING.
I'll ask again but more succinctly this time. Is it worth leveling up your base weapon or should you save the stones for when you find a better weapon? Are there enough stones that it's not a problem to level up multiple weapons?
Same question for Ashes summons. Level up early ones or wait to find better ones to level up?

its entirely a preference thing, there's more than enough materials for you to level multiple weapons or spirits.
you can eventually buy any stone or spirit upgrade from a vendor, except the very last somber stone and spirit upgrade I believe.
nah he only shows up at night. GL with him at early levels tho lol
So I finally beat Radahn. The concept of the fight is unlike anything Fromsoft has done before which makes it quite cool. The actual fight though is not that great. Phase 1 is easy enough, but fuck Phase 2. You pretty much have to resort to cheeseing him or it is pretty impossible.
Yeah that's pretty much the rest of the game. There's a sequence of optional areas late in the game that just had me saying this over and over for like four hours.
