| I beat the Fume Knight wearing Velstadt’s Helm! Posted: 11 Jul 2020 02:04 AM PDT There have been a few posts about the Fume Knight recently and his difficulty (apparently he is the hardest boss according to FromSoft's stats). This is my second playthrough so I didn't expect too many surprises, but when I learnt that Velstadt's helm causes Raime to enter his 2nd stage from the beginning (due to the lore and Velstadt's role in Raime becoming an outcast) I was surprised. After a bunch of "You Died" screens I decided to YOLO the fight with Velstadt's helm only to realize that the fight is faster and easier when Raime starts off in his second stage. I found his two sword first stage harder (and way more slow) than dealing with his one handed great sword. Timed, attacking and rolling, Fire Havel's Greatshield +5 and timing an Estus Recharge only when he does his Flame Rope animation attack or his Fire Dark Orb Attack made this way easier a fight then I was leading myself to believe. Velstadt > Raime :) Edit: spelling, added link to FromSoft stats [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2020 07:56 AM PDT Does anyone have some Red Iron Twinblades they could trade me? I'm on PC. [link] [comments] |
| Doing some laps while waiting to get summoned(be careful out there) Posted: 11 Jul 2020 11:30 AM PDT Jeez, the timing. Recorded this the other day(watch till the end) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2020 10:59 AM PDT I love to co-op especially to help people and where I love to drop my sign most is at Raime, that perfect monstrosity. Nothing gives me more joy than when I help a skeleton beat that masterpiece than when I get messages (always tons of explanation points) expressing their gratitude like: "IVE BEEN TRYING ALL WEEK AND I DID IT THANK YOU!!!!" "OMG YOU were incredible thsnkyouthankyouthank" "Dude I spent like all my effigues. Thank you!!!: (I'm paraphrasing but you get the idea) Anyways I LOVE THE FUME KNIGHT AND I LOVE HELPING MY BROS) Fucking. Love. It. [link] [comments] |
| Just beat the game for the first time: Things I loved, hated and general thoughts Posted: 11 Jul 2020 06:46 AM PDT As the title says, I just beat the game after defeating Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin. Here, I'll go over things I hated, loved and conclude with my thoughts on the game and how it stacks up to DS1 and DS3. For reference, I have beaten the first DLC, but I have no idea how much optional stuff I missed. Things I Hated:
Things I Loved:
Overall thoughts: While it does have some mechanics and odd choices that hold it back, I found that Dark Souls 2 was a really fun time, and that it does indeed compete with its colleagues. And I shall play multiple times to completion because its Dark Souls, and I will take as much Dark Souls as I can get my hands on. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2020 12:36 PM PDT So as some of you may know, I posted a challenge for you all to beat the game with only the items you can get in Things Betwixt. However, upon trying my own challenge, I realized that it isn't 100% possible. You need to use the King's ring to open the King's gates, but as the ring is acquired in the undead crypt, I can't use it. Is my challenge impossible now or should the King's ring be an exception?

| I just cheesed the Dragonrider in Heide Posted: 11 Jul 2020 12:09 PM PDT And it was fun as hell. Just count seven steps and roll to his left, your right. He will do a dash thrust and fall of the ledge if you go straight to him and ignore the levers to enhance the arena size. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2020 02:39 PM PDT Im only at Harvest Valley so I wont have any endgame stuff. Im looking for the Ruin Sentinals armor or The Old Dragonlayer armor. Pls private message me your xbox name and what you can give, and I'll offer some stuff for it. [link] [comments] |
| I just finished my first playthrough of DS2 after having only played DS1 — My thoughts Posted: 10 Jul 2020 05:20 PM PDT I know most people won't care, but I wanted to actually write out some of my thoughts, and this seemed to be a fair place to do it. I'd love to discuss any of this with anyone who wants to! Story Holy wah, this story was amazing! It really raised the themes and elements established in the first game to a whole new level. There is so much to be said about the story, but I think the thing that made it so incredible to me was that it not only extended the story of the first game — It went as far as to contextualize and give NEW meaning to what was an already an established world. I think it's fair to say that the story of this game directly IMPROVED the story of the first, instead of simply improving on it. It's very rare for something like that to happen, especially in gaming. Gameplay The gameplay definitely went through some changes, and became notably more complex. This took some serious work getting used to, but once I started to understand the new language, I found that it became much more nuanced and considerate than it was in the previous game. I found myself switching between multiple weapon types throughout different areas of the game, based on their moveset and damage type, trying to figure out what would work best in specific encounters. Whereas, in the first game, I just rushed a Swag Sword and R1 spammed my way to victory. The revamp of the dodge-roll system also added a wonderful area of nuance where I actually had to weigh cost/benefit of defence vs roll effectiveness in certain scenarios — Whereas, in the first game, I just busted out a calculator and figured out what weight I needed for fast roll and just equipped whatever gear fit that limit. Random Favourites Favourite Weapons: Yorgh's Spear (for 1v1), Curved Nil Greatsword (For Crowd Control), Bone Fist (for Street Fighter Swag) Favourite Boss: Tie between the Darklurker and Looking Glass Knight — Both fights are incredible. (Executioner Chariot gets an honorable mention for being one of the coolest boss IDEAS I've ever seen, but I thought the fight went downhill once you actually started fighting the horse demon. Definitely my favourite boss *arena** though!!)* Favourite Areas: The Gutter (Easily the most fun map to explore. The place is so intricate!), and Sanctum City Shulva (My favourite location overall -- the rising and falling towers was such a fun mechanic to explore!) Favourite Spell: Soul Greatsword [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2020 02:09 PM PDT Does anybody know if the off-hand fog wall shortcut works if you have a weapon equipped? I know it occurs due to the skipped frames of your character sheathing their primary weapon to use the left hand to interact with the fog wall, but am curious about whether the character still has to sheathe their off-hand weapon (making two-handing pointless) or if all that matters is the character having their left-hand set as "active" and already ready to interact (making two-handing worth it).

| Can anyone help me with velstadt (ps4) Posted: 11 Jul 2020 02:02 PM PDT I'm having a lot of trouble with him and I need some help I'm level 92 [link] [comments] |
| Why does it feel like my character moves in slow motion? Posted: 11 Jul 2020 01:57 PM PDT I have upgrade ADP and my Stamina to high levels and still my character is so slow. What am I doing wrong in this game [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2020 01:52 PM PDT Hey guys and dolls, Yesterday I beat DS1 for the first time (yay) and I'm now moving on to the second game. One thing I can't seem to get a handle on is parrying. It's obviously different to DS1 as is evidenced by the damage I've taken but I can't figure out the timing. Any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2020 01:34 PM PDT So the Kings gate in the forest of the fallen giants is guarded by a dude. What would happen if I were to kill said dude? [link] [comments] |
| What's the difference between the Dark Sign and the Dark Sigil? Posted: 11 Jul 2020 09:38 AM PDT And what exactly are they/what are they supposed to be doing to you? [link] [comments] |
| Unreachable(?) Item in aldias keep Posted: 11 Jul 2020 01:17 PM PDT heres some images So I was doing some simple petrified dragons bone farmind in aldias keep when I noticed this item on a ledge, I see no way up there or any way to make it fall (like the items in the painted world of ariamis in DS1) and I wanted to know how to get it. I've looked at item guides and none I found had the item or mentioned it and it's not on fextralifes walkthrough. My bonfire intensity for aldias keep is +5 It's right behind the door as soon as you get to the area with the bone dragon. [link] [comments] |
| Do you need the Intelligence/Faith to use the Sacred Chime Hammer (Velstadt's Hammer) Posted: 11 Jul 2020 01:13 PM PDT I've been thinking of using his hammer for a little while, just to try it out. But I haven't leveled up intelligence or faith at all. If I don't have enough intelligence or faith does the weapon become weaker? Or does it's special attack do less damage? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jul 2020 04:25 PM PDT I still remember when the first Dark Souls was on the GFG program back in 2014; that's when I first discovered the franchise. It'd be nice if they put the rest of the trilogy on the program, especially as we wait for Elden Ring! [link] [comments] |
| I have reached the start of my anger train Posted: 11 Jul 2020 08:40 AM PDT I've gone through most of this game blind, except for the odd boss guide or summon here and there. I have reached my first block at the iron keep. I completed smelter but I'm stuck on the next bit. I don't like iron keep. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2020 12:21 PM PDT Thoroughly enjoyed my last run on this totalling around 250 hours and getting the flair After getting reamed by Fume and Sinh at NG++ if felt like a good time to go back to DS3 to attempt that platinum Jeez that 1st boss takes some getting used to again ( trying a pyro build vs usual quality/ hex style ) Stay safe everyone [link] [comments] |
| How do I beat Raime/Unreadable Fume? Posted: 11 Jul 2020 05:21 AM PDT I'm running a strength build with Greatsword and Avalaste crossbow,and occasionally I will power stance with a zweihander. [link] [comments] |
| About to play for the first time! Posted: 11 Jul 2020 06:44 AM PDT So I'm about to play the game for the first time, I've played DS1 and 3 multiple times so I have a basic understanding of how everything works, but are there any tips/advice I should know? thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Designer Comments translated from the french artbook Posted: 11 Jul 2020 10:29 AM PDT Hello, I couldn't find any english variant of the designer comments on Google, and when I shared some rough translations that I made with friends who are familiar with Dark Souls 2, the designer comments appeared to be brand new for them. Therefore, I felt like it could interest other people.So here are my translations on the designer comments from the french artbook. I hope they are accurate enough and not too strange from an native english perspective (though honestly, their french variant is also weird). I didn't include any image from the artbook, so you may want to have these when reading the doc to fully understand what the designers were referring to, especially in the case of the Grave of Saint, the Rotten, the Lost Sinner, the Royal Flag, Veldstadt, and Shulva. I hope this will be useful or interesting to some extent. [link] [comments] |
