    Dark Souls 2 teaches us something to remember when faced with many of life's great challenges: When lost and unsure of what to do, try taking off all your clothes.

      thank you dark souls ii: hard edition, for teaching us basic logic by pushing us to our limits harder than the original ii.

    14:20 About the "random ass update": There was an issue discovered in all souls games from released on pc where in online play, other players could insert items into your inventory (thus banning you), bricking your save, or even execute code on your pc (Random Code Execution or RCE). The servers for DS1-3 were shut down and from tried to fix these issues; the first update came to DS3 and DS2:SotFS was second to receive an update. While in DS2 the RCE seems to be fixed quite well, the inventory and save manipulation are still possible.

    Okay, that was amazing run.
    I did Ds2 consumables only run myself and there is a nice trick to beat Vendrick and many other hollow enemies.
    Blue Sentinel Targray sells holy water urns which deal an extreme amount of damage to the hollow enemies.
    Also firebombs scale from elemental bonuses which you get from leveling Int/Faith and throwing knives and poison build up scales from Dex.

    Fun fact: the "Girls can be kings, too" was probably meant as a joke, but there actually was a female "rex" (king) in poland in 1384, as king and queen were actually primarily titles with slightly different sets of rules, so Queen Jadwiga was crowned king as to remain in a state of functional rule. So yeah. they actually can.

    I am so very happy to see more DS2 videos. And of great quality too. Also, just cause I didn’t see any comments about it, to refresh your memory: You don’t need to sue an ascetic to stop the spawn rates. There’s a covenant at the end of the cliff path besides the door to the way for Heide’s in Majula. There you will find the champion’s rock, and champion’s covenant, which is basically hardmode. Enemies are stronger, you are weaker, and respawn limits don’t exist. So you can farm without going to ng. I know it’s less effective technically, but just reminding for when you wanna do that at an area you didn’t kill the boss yet

  • @765craven4

Will definitely watch every other video and will be looking out for the next one

  • @lizard1255
    @lizard1255 Год назад +1

    A good tip for any other DS2 runs which require souls, but no easy way of killing enemies. Najka is a really easy boss fight, and once you kill her you can skip Doors and go straight to Tseldora. Once in Tseldora the enemies near all the rocks will almost always kill themselves trying to hit you with said rocks. It nets about 2k souls every time, and just requires a reload of the area to set back up. It is consistent and way easier than trying to farm souls in Heides.
    Another option is rushing through the enemies leading up to the Executioners chariot boss fight, jump across the gap before the red enemy, and watch as all the enemies decide to just walk off. This also nets around 3-4K souls per attempt, and is faster then the Tseldora method. It is however way harder to pull off consistently, and runs the risk of losing souls.

    Hey great challenge vid! Especially interesting watching someone who isn't too familiar with ds2 try something like this out.
    Few things tho, if you wanna farm enemies join the covenant of champs to respawn them infinitely and just revert back to whatever covenant to make your challenge easy again(or don't lol)
    Dark outdamages everything early game but is out damaged by black firebombs late game(when you have better stats)
    As far as I know dark also damages player stamina, at least from what I've experienced. I could be wrong but all those attacks that drained your stamina were also dark.
    Aldia doesn't say anything important or game changing(unless you're a lore guy that is).
    Lastly, poison knives are a thing and definitely better for this types of runs. It's slightly less effective than rat shit but the speed makes up for it.
