| A strange enemy in the Shrine of Amana Posted: 22 Mar 2020 08:59 AM PDT I was wandering around the shrine of Amana, in the area just past Rhoy's resting place where Peculiar Kindular invades after killing the enemies in the area. I noticed a strange path I'd never seen before, leading directly left into the water past the cave of Rhoy's resting place. Here's the weird thing, the narrow path goes on for a little bit and ends with a very well hidden amana priestess crouching in the water. I'd never noticed her before, she'd never attacked me before and I couldn't for the life of me find a trigger that set her off. Running into her got her to stand up and try to hit me with her staff, but that was it. There was no treasure, just a very well hidden path with an enemy I couldn't figure out for the life of me. I was wondering if anyone here had found it before and figured out why it's there/what it does. I was playing on an old 360 with the weird 360 SOTFS old enemy placements, if it matters. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 05:24 PM PDT Edit* there are some typos because of mobile phone keyboard and autocorrect! DARK SOULS hardest locations 1) Oolacile- dark bead 😕😳 2)Dukes archives- crystal hollows... 3)blighttown- I still get lost and confused and the toxic is such a pain hardest bosses 1) Manus- so fast and hard hitting :( 2)kalameet- so much AoE 3) artorias- fast, hard hitting, attacks arent super telegraphed A total sweep from the DLC coolest locations 1)dukes archives- I just think the massive library and great crystal are just really cool aesthetically. 2)sens fortress- gives me huge legend of zelda vibes 3)painted world- just pretty cool with the snow and being in a painting coolest bosses 1) artorias- obviously lol 2)quelaag- cool looking but easy haha 3)gaping dragon- dissappointingly easy but you cant deny he is pretty intimidating and cool looking coolest boss arenas 1) four kings- the total abyss and lack of depth perception makes this one really neat 2) ornstein and smough- very beautiful cathedral with our favorite gank squad 3) seathe the scaleless- big crystal room. Pretty cool aesthetic worst bosses 1) bed of chaos 2) bed of chaos 3)bed of chaos Worst boss in the series worst locations 1) lost izalith- felt unfinished. Just disappointing. Blinding neon orange lava 2)blightown- super jumbled. Hard to see. Poison swamp sucks if you dont have rusted iron ring 3) tomb of giants- cramped and dark.... Dark souls 2- hate on me all you want but this is my favorite of the 3 after playing through all of them again. *hardest locations 1) eleum Loyce- holy shit. After playing through dark souls 1 and 3 where you can stagger lock stuff pretty easily, this level completely destroyed me with the insane poise of all the enemies. Couple with the fact that they often attack in groups. This is without even mentioning the PTSD inducing frozen outskirts...this place is a true test of if you have gotten gud. This place makes my hands sweaty with stress. 2) shrine of amana- very short. But very difficult. Magic being thrown at you everywhere. Archdrake warriors not being impeded by water at all while you move like a snail and they hit like fucking trains. I always dread this location every playthrough and try to speed through it as fast as possible 3)Brume tower- a toss up between this and shulva the sunken city; but I had to go with Bruce tower. Nadalia buffing and healing enemies, insane magic resistances, a confusing and deep layout, getting to the smelter demon is literal hell. Getting to sir alonne is also a literal hell. Deoleting festus like crazy to fight on of the harder bosses in the game ☹☹ hardest bosses 1) burnt ivory king- some people find him easy. I do not. I still dont think ive ever successfully beaten him on my first try with any character. He hits like a tank, has delayed versions of moves to bait dodging and is an all around beast. He feels to me like more of a true final boss to the game 2)Sir Alonne- getting to him is hard enough. But his fight is very difficult. Much like with ivory king, has delayed attacks, can close in on you very fast. Is very persistent if he causes damage and it's hard to find the right time to pop an festus. 3)blue smelter demon- probably a strange choice but he destroys me all the time. He is very different compared to the regular smelter demon who I find easy because I have been summoned agains him so many times. When it game to blue demon, his delayed versions of his attacks that i normally know the timing of very well catches me totally off guard and if he hits you once, its basically over. Not to mention how hard it is to actually get to him Honorable mention: fume knight. Lots of people think he Is DS2's hardest boss. I've spun bro's against him so many times that I can beat him pretty easy solo now. coolest locations 1) eleum loyce. The snowy environment is so much different than most places we've seen in the game. It's a beautiful city and is totally massive in scale. Has some really awesome shortcuts and new locations once you melt all the ice. Plus is sits above literal chaos that the ivory king gave his soul to to freeze the city and contain it. Fucking sick. 2)heides tower of flame. Super disappointing that it was not a bigger location. It's so beautiful to look at :( 3)Brume tower- I think it was just really cool the DEPTH of this level. Very reminiscent of dark souls 1 level design. Huge verticality. Coolest bosses 1)burnt ivory king- everything about him is cool. His lore, his armor, his sword, his boss arena. Burnt ivory king is the coolest boss in the game without much of a doubt 2) sir Alonne- beaitful arena, sweet armor and the world's biggest katana. He is fashion souls defined and he is dangerously elegant in his attacks. 3)the pursuer- cool armor. Love how he follows you around throughout the game pursuing you. coolest boss arena's 1) burnt ivory king- if this isnt your vote you are crazy. Jumping into the heart of chaos and then opening up into that gigantic arena is a total eyegasm makes dying to him over and over again with it because it is such a destructively beautiful setting 2) sir Alonne- just a beautiful marble room with the sunset in the background. So fucking cool 3) looking glass knight- rain and lightning with the imposing drangleic castle in the background. Awesome arena for one if my favorite bosses in the game worst bosses 1) ths sanctum city gank squad. Fuck this fight. It is so stupid and unfunny. You literally just run around d in circles for 15 minutes slowly whittling away at health for basically no reward. I hate everything about this boss fight. For how great the DLC's were, this boss fight was a travesty. 2)vendrick- just so fucking annoying how he has like 3 moves and can basically one shot you. You can just easily cheese him by staying at his left leg and it's just kind of a lame fight for someone that was extremely close to being a true monarch. I fought him once for the achievement and then never fight him again because it's just a disappointing fight. INSANE damage does not equal difficult or fun. It's just a lame game if being patient and hitting him once or twice. Dodge, hit once or twice, dodge, hot ince or twice, for like 5 to 10 minutes 3) demon of song- the hardest area in the vanilla game gives us the easiest boss... cool looking design but just a really lackluster fight. Just bait him to body slam and its over in no time. Could have been way better Honorable mention: Lud and Zallen- the only gripe I had with this fight was that it was a reskin of Aava X2. However the fight is fittingly difficult for the point of the game you fight them. Just wish they made it more unique. Plus it's just not really worth it for how hard it is to actually get to them Worst locations 1)frozen outskirts: love eleum loyce but this place is the worst. Difficult level of total bullshit and it's barely even worth it except for the fashion souls ring 2)huntsman copse- just a really boring aesthetic and pretty lame enemies. Not very appealing. 3) shaded woods/ruins- same reasoning as huntsman copse. dark souls 3 hardest locations, 1) ringed city- yet again a dlc location takes the mantle as the hardest location. This place is totally unforgiving at every turn 2)lothric castle- considering before the DLC it was the endgame location it makes sense that it was so hard 3-) irithyll of boreal valley- pontiff knight hit really hard and fast. Pontiff puppies, silver knights, dogs, pontiff sulyvahn. Teying to reach anor Londor (still counting as irithyll) this place was the first place where shit got real on my first playthrough hardest bosses 1) dark eater midir- the optional boss of the hardest DLC in the final souls game? Yeah he is gonna be hard as fuck 2) slave knight gael- can get pretty easy once you figure out his moves but he is just such a long fight and one mistake can spell the end for you. 3 phase boss???? Holy shit 3)champion gondry. This is gonna be an unpopular choice but I struggle very hard with champion gondry. I can never time my parties correctly and once he reaches the second phase he is so relentless that.you fant even heal if you make a mistake. He has caused me to rage quit more than once. Strangely enough I find nameless king easy in comparison haha coolest locations 1) irithyll- did anyone. Not stare in awe at this city the first time you left the catacombs of carthus? 2) cathedral of the deep- I think this place truly showcases how amazing FROM is at level design. One singular bonfire connected throughout the entire level. So cool. 3)ringed city- another one of those aesthetically beautiful locations in this game. Just awesome level design and world building. Coolest bosses 1) abyss watchers- just such a cool fight. Music and everything sends chills down your spine. Probably the most well rounded boss in the game difficulty wise as well. Never any bullshit. Just takes so skill and patience to bring them down. 2)dancer of the boreal valley- I love her music and moveset. Feels like a theatrical performance with her graceful moveset. She also looks creepy as fuck so she has that going for her 3)Lorian- the dude beats your ass and he is hard carrying his loser brother while the lower half of his body is paralyzed. Imagine him at full power? He'd probably be the hardest boss in the game lol. He is such an underrated character and boss coolest arenas 1)slave knight gael- this place is the end of it all. A devoid ashen landscape housing the dark soul. Just super cool to close out the lore. 2) soul of cinder- awesome music, cool aesthetic, love all the weapons sticking out of the ground signifying all the types of chosen undead how tried to link the flame. The cool melting sun eclipse thing adds a cool touch 3) pontiff sulyvahn. I have a hard on for cool cathedrals in these games. This one is no exception worst bosses 1)yorm. I was so disappointed in this fight. I was expecting an epic battle and I'll we get was some stupid gimmick fight that is total easy mode. Fir such an important character and location, yorm and the profane capital felt very lackluster compared to the rest of the game. 2) arch dragon/ ancient dragon (dont know the name) just another lame gimmick fight. Just sppedrun through the level, avoid enemies and one shot a massive dragon. Lame. 3)curse rotted greatwood. Fuck this fight I hate it. At least you never have to do it if you dont want to. It's less challenging and more total bullshit Honorable mention: deacons if the deep. More just disappointed that one of the best locations in the game had some easy mob boss. However this fight can actually be ridiculously fun to just abuse them. I love going in with a halberd and spinning in circles blending up the deacons like I'm making a deep smoothie. Also fun to use AOE spells. I just like this fight because its fun to experiment with murdering large groups of enemies Worst locations in the game 1)demon ruins. I hate this place. Hate hate hate hate hate it. I hate the jumping goat dudes. I hate the opera fire order demons. I hate the giant crossbow. I hate all the gurus. Just an annoying location. 2)profane capital- I just dislike how lackluster it was for being such an important part of dark would 3 lore. 3)the swamp area before abysswalkers. Totally spacing the name. Poison swamps suck hardest location in the series 1)eleum Loyce- just the amount of poise enemies have, the amount you fight, and the level design in general makes this the hardest location in the series in my opinion. Runner up: ringed city hardest boss in the series 1) dark eater midir- the sheer power of this boss and the difficulty of avoiding certain death takes the cake for me. Runner up: tie between Gael and burnt ivory king. Gael is fast and hits hard buy I can usually down him in one or two tries I still really struggle with burnt ivory king solo. For some reason he is my bane in this series. coolest location in the series 1) ringed city: just beautiful and masterfully crafted. Runner up: dukes archives. Just still love the aesthetic of this place. coolest boss in the series 1)burnt ivory king. Has arguably the best lore in the series the fight with him is just totally epic. Runner up: artorias. Also has arguably the best lore in the series. He and ivory kind are very similar in a lot of respects. Artorias became corrupted by the abyss. Ivory king because corrupted by chaos. coolest boss arena in the series 1) old chaos (burnt ivory king). The coolest arena hands down. Nothing really comes close to it. Runner up: Gaels wasteland. Worst boss in the series Bed of chaos. Runner up: bed of chaos. Worst location in the series 1) lost izalith. For how majorly important this location was, the lack of polish and the overwhelming feeling of it being unfinished was unacceptable. Reskinned stray demon as a boss. Copy pasted enemies with no real rhyme or reason to their location. The eye gore that is the lava and the worst boss in the series. This place sucks because of how badly designed it is compared to everything else. Runner up* frozen outskirts. Bullshit difficulty. No real reason to come here except for completionish reasons. Lame payoff with the copy paste boss. Regular mob enemies that are harder than most bosses in the lightning reindeer. Hard to figure out where to go. Just bad level design Sorry if this is long. What are your opinions of everything? [link] [comments] |
| Beginning no-death/no-shield attempts tonight! Posted: 22 Mar 2020 12:15 PM PDT Hello all, Figured I'd let you know that being unable to leave home has made me decide to start streaming on a whim. I've wanted to try a deathless run of DS2 for a while, and now feels like the time. The journey begins at 5pm EST, at twitch.tv/bucktalldog. I don't have a pro streaming setup or anything, and I have done zero prep for this run other than play DS2 many hours in the past, so don't come with the highest expectations. I just plan to have a good time, talk about souls and who knows what else, and see how it goes. Come hang! [link] [comments] |

| The Undead Asylum Red Phantom Respawns on NG+?! Posted: 22 Mar 2020 01:42 PM PDT Title. Trying to get the cloranthy ring +2 and figured I would focus on taking out the red havel phantom first and then deal with the chariot. The saw and whip bois are bad enough on NG+ so I was trying to preserve resources for the boss, this guy one shotting me does not make that easy. Bonfire Ascetics are some sick shit...

| Game crashing with GeDoSaTo enabled Posted: 22 Mar 2020 01:29 PM PDT Trying to get back into SOTFS with some texture mods installed, but the game crashes on startup only when GeDoSaTo is running. Turning it off allows me to launch the game no problem. Any ideas what may be causing this? I have tried disabling all settings in GeDoSaTo and only leaving the texture override. Is there a way to override textures without using GeDoSaTo? [link] [comments] |
| Servers have been down since Friday morning, anyone else having this issue? Posted: 22 Mar 2020 09:42 AM PDT I play on Xbox by the way. Also, is there a website that can tell me if it's down? Usually I go to downdetector but it doesn't have any information on DS2. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| What stats should I focus on first when going for a sorcerer? Posted: 22 Mar 2020 12:25 PM PDT |
| Posted: 22 Mar 2020 07:39 AM PDT Goddamn this fight is fun. Getting some real or stein and smooth feels from this. Any tips tho I can't defeat them. Stein and smooth at least has different attacks but this fight feels like getting ganked in pvp. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Mar 2020 10:36 AM PDT I'm SM 289,451 on Xbox One and I want to use the Sun Sword, but my coop group isn't going to get there for a while. I also won't be able to get the 20 medals I need without going way beyond the necessary SM for them unless I only get my medals with them. Does anyone have a Sun Sword they'd be willing to part with?

| Can someone recommend a thorough, ideally lore-focused, walkthrough for a first time play? Posted: 22 Mar 2020 09:11 AM PDT Finally playing DS2 for the first time, played every other Soulsborne game. I generally like to go through each area blind then watch it back as part of a walkthrough series to see what I've missed. Or to consult if I get stuck/lost. I usually like EpicNameBro's walkthroughs like he did for DS1 and BB, as he takes the time to go deep into the lore and collect all items etc. Doesn't look like he has one for DS2 though, can anyone recommend one?

| So I’m gonna do the Gank boss fight now any tips for me yall? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 09:45 PM PDT |
| Wow...I just got ganked in the ultimate Dark Souls 2 manner. By far the worst I’ve ever been ganked. Posted: 21 Mar 2020 06:10 PM PDT I am in NG+ in the poison valley. Went by that area full of the big dudes with Sycles to take out the big monster. There was an extra red sycle dude behind him. Ok, I got him. I'm using a hex/sorcery build at the moment. I start throwing dark orbs at him, he is pretty tough but I got distance. Then out of nowhere, all the big dudes from the other area somehow got over the rock the player can't and ganged up behind me. With an extra red one. So I'm in a tiny crevasse with 6 big baddies behind me and one in front. They quickly swarmed and there was nothing I could do. I switched to my red rust twin blade and went down swinging, but it was mostly banging off the wall. I couldn't roll, and could barely even see my character. I just had to laugh at that one.

| Posted: 22 Mar 2020 07:04 AM PDT They are the most pathetic enemies in a whole game.They don't like to fight 1vs1,they love to hide in 2 or 3 and stab u in the back,when they ofc are Not sucking dics rn.Basically they looks like archetypal cucksucking super ds3 noob or just ganker [link] [comments] |
