I just got my hands on the greatsword Posted: 10 Dec 2020 07:07 AM PST I've been struggling for awhile now but I farmed the dogs in the Bastille and got 20 effigy and I got 20 life gems and I have my greatsword fully upgraded. I'm starting to really like this game. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 09 Dec 2020 09:41 PM PST Just wanted to share my story since I have like no one else to tell it to... First of all, I had been wanting to play a Dark Souls game for a long time, but always felt too intimidated. I consider myself a pretty bad gamer, so most of my life has been spent playing games on easy difficulty. I never understood how people could enjoy playing difficult games, or how they had the willpower to keep trying a boss/level after countless failed attempts. About a year ago, though, I started to challenge myself by playing games like Witcher 3 and AC Odyssey on harder modes. And recently, a friend of mine started playing Dark Souls 2. I figured if he could do it, I could too, so I decided to give it a try. Early on, I decided to go with the mace/shield combo. Ended up sticking with that setup for practically all of the main game, besides using the Zweihander occasionally. I wanted to mix it up but the mace just did so much work, especially when fully upgraded and with a lot of points in strength. Not gonna lie, I played through the whole main game VERY defensively (and slowly), constantly with my shield up and always trying to only fight one enemy at a time. Even so, I was surprised by how easy the main game felt. My biggest difficulty was the Pursuer, who killed me 5 times, but other than that, my only other boss deaths were 1 to Old Iron King (fuck that hole in the back of the arena), 1 to Nashandra, and 3 to Aldia (again, fuck that hole in the arena, killed me all 3 times). By the end of the main game, I think I died more to falling than any area/boss. Beating the base game felt good, but I also felt kinda empty. Besides the Pursuer, no boss gave me a real challenge. Killing Smelter Demon felt good, but that was mostly cause I just found that fight super fun. Hoping for more of a challenge, I decided to try the DLC. I chose to do the Old Iron King DLC first cause its 3 bosses seemed like they would be the most fun. Before going past the start of Brume Tower, I made a major layout change, swapping out my mace and shield to 2H the King's Ultra Greatsword. I also swapped out my Drangleic armor for just Flying Feline boots and the Lion Warrior cape. I figured if there was ever a time to git gud, this DLC was the perfect opportunity. And wow, it made a huge difference. Using a new weapon was so refreshing, and so was the shift to purely dodging rather than blocking. Took some time to get used to, but by the time I got to Fume Knight, I was a lot more comfortable. I tried to 2H the mace for my first run just cause I was scared the swing time on the ultra greatsword would be too slow. But the mace's small range was an issue, so I switched back to the KUG. I found that I had just enough time to get off a solid R1 and still dodge his followups. By like the 3rd run, I had his first phase down pretty well, but had no answer for his second one. For the life of me I couldn't dodge his thrust attack, and it took me way too long to realize that I had to roll into his wide fire sword swing instead of away from it. His combos always had one more move than I was expecting, so that got me a lot. Oh and of course I died a couple times while trying to heal. Finally on my 7th attempt, after running out of Estus with him still at 1/3 HP, something clicked. Knowing I had no more heals, I could focus purely on dodging and attacking. Everything slowed down, and I proceeded to kill him without taking any more hits at all. I was so focused on just dodging and attacking at every ample opportunity that I didn't even realize he was 1 hit away until right before I dealt the finishing blow. I then yelled "YES!!!" loud enough for all my neighbors to hear. In conclusion, I went from really liking this game to absolutely LOVING it! I've been gaming my whole life, and that was easily the most satisfying boss I've ever faced. Not only that, but the switch to fashion souls combined with my new preference to roll instead of block has made this game so much more fun. It's like...I finally understand what it means to git gud, and I also understand why so many people love this series so much. I can't wait to try out different weapons and outfits! And now that I beat Fume Knight, I feel like I can beat any Soulsborne game with enough time and practice. Hell, right now I feel like I could take the Nameless King! tl;dr - used to be intimidated by Souls games, now I love them. All I had to do was simply git gud [link] [comments] |
Why can’t I use Sunlight Blade of the Fume knight greatsword? Posted: 10 Dec 2020 02:45 AM PST It works fine on the smaller swords but I can't use on the fume knight sword. [link] [comments] |
What's with the 3 rats in majula Posted: 10 Dec 2020 07:26 AM PST Why are they so tanky, i do 10 damage to them, I do more damage to "The Pursuer" and "The Last Giant" and I have 2 +2 caestus, do they have cool items? Edit: I didnt hear the oinks [link] [comments] |
A new way to play DS2 for all skill levels (plz read!) Posted: 10 Dec 2020 07:14 AM PST There are definitely times when our favorite games become bland. Fortunately for the souls-like community, I've made a discord (750+ people so far!) where you can submit your own challenges for others to try! Or, you could alternatively try other people's challenges! Challenges have all kinds of different difficulties from Novice to Master, and we even have blind runs along with custom speedruns!!! This discord has gained a LOT of attention, and it seems like a lot of people are really enjoying it, so come check it out! Here's an introduction video to help you understand EVERYTHING about the server: Join here: https://discord.gg/hCKbB6qJWR Here's where it all started! https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls/comments/jzy0ej/a_new_way_to_play_dark_souls_for_all_skill_levels/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 I know a lot of you probably love this idea, please don't let it die in new!!!

How are the gameplay overhaul mods? "Auger of Darkness", "Ascended", "Tales of Drangleic", etc Posted: 10 Dec 2020 01:19 PM PST Been trying some for DS1 (Daughters of Ash), figured I'd give one for DS2 a try as well. [link] [comments] |
Are daggers good as main weapons for PvE in vanilla DS2? Posted: 10 Dec 2020 12:08 PM PST I saw in a video that daggers have great DPS, but I have kinda dismissed them for the most part. Are they actually strong or it's a troll thing? [link] [comments] |
Does anyone else get extremely demotivated when monsters stop spawning Posted: 10 Dec 2020 12:57 AM PST I feel as if game tells me "Okay , you sucked enough. Now let me hold you hand". I always feel miserable , because i feel as if i failed , couldn't get good enough at that particular part. Hell , after main campaign i got stuck at first dlc (Mage build...) , and when i saw that enemies stopped spawning , this combined with the extreme nerf of my build just made me quit it. Wonder if anyone else also feels bad when it happens. And yes , i know about champion of covenants. But this doesn't solve problem "Oh , you sucked enough at this part that enemies stopped spawning? Here they are again , with increased statistics. Have fun" [link] [comments] |
Posted: 09 Dec 2020 10:40 PM PST Sooo hyped y'all. I finished dark souls 2 bout an hour ago. Soooo happy right now. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 10 Dec 2020 08:00 AM PST A few days ago I beat ds2 for the first time (playing a sorceror) and thought it would be fun to rank the bosses and might as well share it with Reddit (this is based purely on how hard I found these, not how hard I think they would be in general). The number next to each boss is my death count during the boss fight. As you will see I only fought 30 bosses. I didn't beat any of the DLC bosses because they were all so magic resistant it didn't feel fun and I also didn't fight Ancient Dragon or Darklurker (I think those are all I missed). I summoned against two bosses which I'll explain as I get to them. I should also give a disclaimer that I had heard of all the bosses beforehand but didn't know much about their fights. I'll explain what I did know when it comes up. I've marked it as a spoiler because new players obviously won't know the bosses. 30. Covetous Demon (0) 29. Dragonrider (0) 28. Guardian Dragon (0) 27. Last Giant (0) 26. Demon of Song (0) 25. Old Dragonslayer (0) 24. Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin (0) 23. Giant Lord (0) 22. Mytha, the Baneful Queen (0) 21. Prowling Magus and Congregation (2) 20. Royal Rat Vanguard (1) 19. Lost Sinner (3) 18. Scorpioness Najka (1) 17. Duke's Dear Freya (2) 16. Flexile Sentry (2) 15. Twin Dragonriders (2) 14. Belfry Gargoyles (1) 13. The Rotten (3) 12. Throne Watcher and Throne Defender (3) 11. Nashandra (3) 10. Looking Glass Knight (4) 9. Executioner's Chariot (5) 8. Royal Rat Authority (7) 7. Velstadt (4) 6. (Red) Smelter Demon (7? 8?) 5. King Vendrick (7) 4. Old Iron King (9) 3. Pursuer (? at least 12) 2. Skeleton Lords (1) 1. Ruin Sentinels (? I'd say at least 20) Overall I didn't think the bosses in this game were harder than the ones in ds1. Although the hard bosses were still mostly in the first half of the game they did manage to keep their difficulty up better than in ds1 where most of the bosses after O&S are really easy and I actually found Nashandra harder than Gwynn (I never died to Gwynn over three playthroughs). Bonus ranking: I hope my English was decent I'm not a native speaker. Also I'll be very surprised if anyone reads this in its entirety [link] [comments] |
Dual Weilding Greatswords Less damage than two hamding in boss fights? Posted: 10 Dec 2020 09:08 AM PST I'm dual weilding (power stance) a fire and lighting greatsword. Ive tried to fight the ancient dragon and lord vendrick and on both I do about 350 damage with my light dual weild attack but when I switch to holding one with two hands my attack then goes up to about 500. I do not get this because I thought i was supposed to be doing more damage which is the case sometimes but it seems like this isnt the case with some bosses. [link] [comments] |
What does sir alonne’s name mean Posted: 10 Dec 2020 03:05 PM PST |
Posted: 10 Dec 2020 03:01 PM PST How does that npc bitch slap through a full set of +2 drangleic armor for over 500 hp? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 10 Dec 2020 10:52 AM PST I loved it and my only complaint was that they don't let you lock on to Nashandra curse balls [link] [comments] |
What would you say is the easiest route to dark lurker through the summoned dark world? Posted: 10 Dec 2020 10:03 AM PST What I mean is when you give Grahndal a humanity he takes you to the places where you have to light the torch. I've always done the forest one, but I know I'm gonna die endlessly to darklurker on ng+4, just want the easiest route to darklurker... [link] [comments] |
Over 100 hours in this game, and still I find new ways to die. Posted: 10 Dec 2020 01:40 PM PST So after 100+ hours in DS2:SotFS and traversing Iron Keep a number of times, I did not know this could happen in the area with the platforms above the lava. As shown, I was pretty shocked by the fact that the platform's chains could break. What are some of your more shocking deaths at the hands of the DS2's environments? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 10 Dec 2020 09:18 AM PST So i skipped vendrick and then found out i cant right aldia if i dont and now i just done nashandra was kinda dissapointing [link] [comments] |
Posted: 10 Dec 2020 03:05 AM PST Dark Souls 2 has been really really difficult. When I started, I couldn't figure out where to go, I couldn't adapt to the mechanics, the armor was difficult to manage, and the weapons never felt comfortable. I was completely indecisive about what I should level up and after starting with the tower of Heide, I was losing my mind in frustration after dozens of runs to the little guys. But now, I have been doing REALLY well! I've been on a hot streak in DS2 and I've found a comfortable balance within the game. I've even used my first bonfire ascetic to farm a boss for souls. For most of the milestones I've made in game, big or small, I have saved it as a video clip on ps4. It makes me feel proud to see my progress, and it gets me excited to see the difference between me at the beginning, to me being able to take down bosses without panicking, without dying after mistiming a heal and not throwing myself off of the map in a panic. If anybody wants to see my progress I put it up on YouTube on my channel. Also, if you do watch the videos let me know any weapons or gear you can recommend. I started with dual wield Swords but switched to heavy armor and a big shield. If there is any dual wield build anyone knows please, let me know. Chris Assassin at YouTube. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 10 Dec 2020 09:57 AM PST I would absolutely LOVE to see a bossfight in a Ds2 mod where the fight with the mirror knight summons another mirror knight. Maybe with the time between summons slowly decreasing every iteration (nothing too crazy) It's like turtles all the way down. Only it wants to kill you! [link] [comments] |
Was power stance changed in softs? Posted: 10 Dec 2020 09:43 AM PST Just bought ds2 for PS4 and I don't seem to be able to power stance with 2 weapons I know I could on ps3 was it changed for some reason? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 10 Dec 2020 03:14 AM PST I just impulsively rested at dragon arie airre? aerie? Whatever, thing is I fucked my no-bonfire run and I'm sad. [link] [comments] |
Help with a build for a beginner? Posted: 09 Dec 2020 11:54 PM PST Hey everyone, so for some context, I have never ever played a souls or soulslike game in my life despite being someone who has played video games all my life. With the ps4 price of $10 though, I felt as though it was criminal not to purchase DS2 (and Bloodborne for $13!!!). I'm enjoying my time immensely as a Knight, and just unlocked the bonfire around McDuff in the Lost Bastille. Subsequently, this now has me thinking a lot more about how I use my souls. The inspiration for how I've been spending my souls up until this point is I looked at some basic guides which essentially went "meet weapon requirements, get VIG and END to 20, Agility to 99, then spend on either vig or weapon scaling". I've met all those requirements and sank 4 more points into VIG. As levels get more and more expensive, however, I want to be cognisant of the fact that I might want to start putting souls towards INT or FTH, or maybe STR and DEX in the name of an impressive build as the levels begin to get harder and harder and I find myself needing health less and less (for the time being). For reference, I've been using the Heide Knight's Sword +2 and the buckler for parrying, which I'm pretty good at, though I've become more and more fond of just rolling. I'm honestly super indecisive and would like to hear multiple opinions on this since I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Is the dual-wield blue flame build feasible in NG? Should I use a magic mace build, a stone ring rapier build, or stick with the Heide Knight Sword? Should I just fuck off and play the game on my own? Please help me out!! [link] [comments] |
SOTFS: Why does the Forest of the Fallen Giants > Lost Bastile lead to a dead end? Posted: 10 Dec 2020 07:07 AM PST So you start the game, go to Heide's Tower, see big guys and don't have a strike weapon so you think you're in the wrong place like the Cemetary in Dark Souls so you head backwards and head back to the forest of the fallen giants and think you're progressing but the game throws you to a dead end at the Lost Bastile because you won't have a Fragrant Branch of Yore unless you farm it and playing Dark Souls tells you its probably not time to buy one like you did for Andre. Also, why doesn't anyone complain about the Ruin Sentinels getting a free hit on you the moment you enter the fog door? There's no way you could've known that there was a guy on your left the first time you went through it but everyone complains about the Capra Demon. [link] [comments] |
