"A mission for hat acquisition" pretty much sums up all of DS2
gotta get that fashion going on
and a mission to light to pretty much sums up all of DS1
And "a mission to discover fanservice" sums up ds3...
So dark soul 2 is just team fortress 2 with swords?
Get powerful hats just in time to start a new game with powerless hats
too bad there isn't some kind of mechanic that let's you replay every area and beat every boss without starting a new game
There is. You'd just need a shitload of bonfire ascetics.
@@sebastiantirado6247 yeah, good thing they put something like that in the following games
@@WolfHreda good thing you can use bonfire ascetics to dupe bonfire ascetics
@@jooot_6850 You can, can't you? I've only ever used a few, so I completely forgot you can use them to reset chests and other places you can get them.
Pro tip: fume knight in his first phase has a special attack specifically for when you use an item, where he does a huge overhead swing, and temporarily (~20 seconds) cracks his sword which prevents him from entering his phase 2. The attack is meant to make it very difficult for you to heal with estus, but he does it for any item you use including throwing knives, so you can abuse fast items to completely stop him from entering phase 2
ah so thats why the fume knight made me throw my controller.
@@PatrickRatman you just have to cheeeeese him
I always found his second phase to be easier than his first one... hits like a truck tho.
@@battedbook5811 same, I always used Velstadts 's helmet to just kick off phase 2 instantly. Know that phase by heart, I think it's way easier.
Wish I knew this before i raged a billion times when fighting him
The moment you called Eleum Loyce Canada I cracked up and choked in my drink. That was unexpected but good.
Dude the effect of the crowns are awesome for the whole two minutes you have them all with Vendrick's blessing
I agree, but you can just use bonfire ascetics to ng+ areas. That way you can actually use the crowns without starting a regular ng+ run and losing them.
@@brotherbear92 Yeah been doing that on the giant memories,soul farming ftw
I always felt the DLCs were less about showing you something new, and more about reinforcing the main game's ideals. The main game hammers home through dialogue, descriptions, and areas, about how every civilization eventually becomes ash, for the next one to stand upon. The DLC lets you live through the previous ones, especially when you fight the Alonne related knights in the Brume Tower, especially Alonne himself, showing that his knights lived far beyond himself. Especially the Old Chaos, showing just how perpetual it is. That this.... abomination of fire that the old witches of Izalith created burns ever yet, but never for the benefit of any, and that any who dare try to use its power are always consumed by it. Thats one thing that disappoints me within DS3, we don't get to see the old chaos. The best we get is the fall of the last demons. Where the Ashen One personally kills the last of the demons. 2 is about how the choice you faced in 1 never mattered, no matter what you do, just like every ruler before you, you will be replaced, by age or by being defeated, one day you will be a mindless hollow, same as Vendrick. Its a part of why its my favorite Dark Souls game, its story telling is very unique. Rather than being presented with a choice, you're given the opposite, you're faced with the fact that you have no choice. You fight onward because you must, that's the game, but no matter how you play the game, and no matter if you complete all the DLC, the choice remains useless. You either take your throne and succumb to fate, or defeat age-old rulers, show that you are different from the rest to Aldia. But at the end, even if you "prove Aldia wrong", you didn't. After that, you take your throne, no matter the extra power you've gained, you will succumb to fate, as every warrior before you, as will every warrior after you. What do you think the Ashen One does? Its a similar story, you defeat the physical culmination of fate; the Soul Of Cinder, but afterwards you continue the legacy, either fire dies and is reborn, or you continue the cycle. Until the literal end of time, essentially, the fight with Gael is showing the "heat death" of the Dark Souls universe. No matter the outcome, the entire world isn't even rubble, its a endless expanse of nothingness. No fire to return to, no flame to birth new life. It's all gone.
Im replying to this to comeback later cause this was gold , thank you
@@marselabylyku4552 thank you for the comment Marsela! tbh DS2 is the game I can rant about forever.
But completing the DLC gives you a hat (crown) that basically makes you immortal, right?
@@sharif47 Not entirely. Lore wise, not at all. It only grants ‘power’ or whatever. It’s likely the player character will live for far longer than beforehand, however, none are immune to the effects of time. Mechanically, each crown has its own unique effect, but all of them make it so you cannot go Hollow if you’ve been given the King’s Blessing, if I remember that correctly.
@@PXander Isn't that technically immotality?
As far as I know, undeads don't die. They just turn into hollow once they lose their purpose.
And since the crown never turns you hollow it seems to have all the pros of immortality without any of the consequences.
Maybe the "power" mentioned in the lore IS the non-hollow perk.
Also, Andre and Patches are 2 characters that survived the entire timeline of Dark Souls universe. Then again Patches seems to have the ability to jump across FromSoft franchises as well.
So we got Chicken Leg Greg, Lampshank Hank, Beef-joint Bob, and Turkey Thigh Tommy. I love the names you gave to the big bois!
"Hurt me harder Dark Souls Daddy"
This guy gets it.
I'm addicted to this series!
same theyre so good
"The mission for hat acquisition" is quite possibly the best rhyme ever for ds2
Loyce da 5’9” has me hollering, shit. That’s a genius one.
Lmfao
This was a fun watch. Makes me want to go back and play DS2
No idea why this just appeared in my recommendations but I'm sure glad it did!
"The most irritating prick this side of James Corden."
The accuracy.
12:40 is essentially what Vendrick tells you after you give him the 4 crowns.
I didn't get the DLC's until I was very deep into playing DS2, and so I ended up trying them at NG+6 or 7 and absolutely hated my life.
Fuck yeah! I was wondering why the DLC weren’t touched on in the DS2 video.
They deserved their own separate entry
Baron's Castle they certainly did, and it was awesome!
Subbed to aid in the fight against shadow people. You have my blade, friend.
I’m an Elden Ring player who just got into the Dark Souls games. I just completed the three DLC packs for DS2 and unlocked the crowns. I’m pretty sure all I have left is the final boss though. It’s been a fun journey though your hit box jokes here were so well deserved. Then it’s off to DS3!
Can we just come together and agree the fricking ice hedgehogs that roll are the most annoying enemies ever...
I think the horses in the frozen wastes might be worse, although that area is optional 🤔
@@Bigboss-fr2kg the hedgehogs are the worst just the worst
@@Corneliusoco stun locked in a corner and drinking 10 estus after fighting 3 of them, i might have to agree there 😂
@@Bigboss-fr2kg see they even did you bad there horrible creatures f em
@@Corneliusoco Not only that but only certain weapons can even hit them, since they're so small.
9:03 quando l'italiano ti colpisce (when the iTaLiAnO hits you so fucking hard)
The sanctum knight armor looks kinda cool to me
The copper green armor is cool
This game is PERFECT in content, length and verity, but the only one negative thing is the matchmaking system :(
No, no and no. Just no
And the hitboxes, and agility, and some of the bosses, and SOTFS enemy placement.
Still better than DS3
Matchmaking never gave me a problem using the name engraved ring! I agree it’s the perfect Souls game however
When you called that place Canada I cracked up and shat out my lunch!
Same lmao as a canadian I confirm it's exactly the same as Eleum Loyce lmao
Amazing videos my dude
Thank you , glad you're enjoying them!
Bruh I watch your videos to fall asleep, why you gotta fucking do me dirty like that with that opening
idk how but the way baron said papi chulo is so perfect
Love the abyss papi chulo
The funny loyce knight soul farming
I wonder why they felt the need to add a hideous and annoying optional area with a recycled boss at the end in each DLC
It was meant for multiplayer, done with a phantom or two.
Creation of frozen wasteland in Eleum Loyce DLC should be consider as a warcrime.
Ngl, I unironically liked the shulva gank squad bossfight, and I mean, I REALLY liked it, it's actually among my favorites.
Their music is awesome, and fits the setting really well, the arena helps you separate them so you only have to deal with the three of them at the same time if you're lazy, and I just... Like their design and the fact that there's literally no explanation whatsoever as to who the f*ck they are.
To be really honest, I think the concept is hilarious, it's almost like someone at fromsoft simply decided to make a parody of pvp gank squads or smth, like, it's so dumb that it's actually clever. I always have a ton of fun with them.
But yeah, Blue Smelter Demon and Lud & Zallen can go f*ck themselves, they're actual bs.
Ahaha "Hurt me harder" Love this overview of the game!
As main story of DS2 is about Child of Dark growing in power and maybe another of them being very secret bonus boss it is fitting that other Children of Dark who imitated their weaker, but smarter sibling would emerge as well. Each of them has Child of Dark in prominent role and in similar situation than in main game.
Did you know 4:55 that spider egg sacks carry any where from 25 to 1000 depending on the spider and that blows my mind
I'm playing "reindeer fuckland" for the first time, now. Wish me luck.
it fucking glowed when u said like and sub
The Canada joke definitely earned you a like and subscriber hahahaha
I actually never got the poison status effect in the sunken king DLC. I also didn't have poison moss because I used it all in the poison mines
God im dying laughing at your amazing comedy lol
The Canada joke got a thumb up from me
S'about slamming big bits of iron onto more peoples heads and stealing some particularly fancy headwear
That numero uno was majestic.
Are you Italian? Lol
4:36 has be crying 😂
So... in the end... did you win the war against the shadow people?
The dlc of DS3 isn't "1 and a half" it was supposed to be only one, but Bandai /Namco that greedy publisher had them apperently contractually obligated to make more. So they split them in two. That's why the transition between those dlcs and reaching the 2nd one without playing the first feels so silly. Also looks worse having that additional bonfire in the way to the kiln, than the two bonfires of the archives and the Dragonslayer armour.
I think you forgot Aldia.
This shit is pure brilliance
barons castle is the best, your puns are awsome, and your channel logo is cool, and your funny
Canada had be laughing
Good video!
Do more of these pleas
just blow over the fact that the majestic sword is the most fun weapon in the game.
Heh look at souls at 2:25
Ds2 boss runs in the base game+dlc really made me say "and here I thought they couldnt get ANY worse" so consistently it's funny
I died in the cave of the dead once and said fuck it and I havent done frigid outskirts crazy how ds2 would take all 10 spots on the top 10 worst bossrun list
i wouldnt call the painted world for DS3 half a dlc
Quarter dlc? Technically Only has 2 boss, a retread of ds1 and some really situation everything's
More like an annoying boss, a bad optional boss and a half decent area wich is part an optional area of DS1 wich according to rumours was the remains of a reject area from Demon Souls (wich would explain the only bonfire and the vertical lvl desind or that it was one of the fist areas designed for the game)
Only you, i guess? The area is surpisingly really small, the story was meant to be connected with ringed city. And It was intended to be one dlc, but Namco decided to split it up.
So "Half DLC" is what literally is.
Ah, so this is how Tf2 players see Dark souls
Narraration is on point good job. I was greatly amused.
9:01 why u said boss time numero uno, Im italian i was not expecting to hear My language XD thx
numéro uno is Spanish too, why there's so much in common with Spanish and Italian
you're taring me apar!
I know I'm 1 year too late (thanks for nothing RUclips algorithm) but let me ask anyway, is he Puerto Rican? cause that Papi chulo sounds just how we say it here in Puerto Rico.
4:35 ah yes, elana and ringadingdong dickhead, i remember this boss
still funny as fuck mate!
Get bullied but in an InTErCoNNected world edition
9:02 I'm sorry mate, ARE YOU ITALIAN?? That pronunciation shocked me because you didn't pronounce it like "NewmwerhoW YUnowh", but with a perfect italian pronunciation.
half italian
@@BaronsCastle Cazzo uomo lo sapevo! Grande!! Parli spesso italiano in casa coi tuoi? Ma che figata.
this is a very poggers video
You are amazing 🤩
Beefcake Bob and Thick Thighs Tommy boutta make me act up 🥴
Dark Souls 2 really does feel like fanfiction. It really is the black sheep of the family.
Subbed for chicken Legg Gregg
Let's see Paul Allen's DLC
And this is why ds2 is best souls 2
I enjoy the video because of the jokes but the title is misleading, you didn't really talk about the lore of the dlcs, you talked about the experience of playing the dlcs.
2:08 uhm excuse me?? Where's that thing?
A magic tree that repairs gear
Loyce Da 5’9 lmao
What is this about shadow people?
So the dlc is about something called hit box got it 👍🏼
Cool video, but Am I the only one who hates the dlcs? They are just annoying and I dont feel like im taking in the story as im playing, just trying extremely hard. And in my opinion, thats not dark souls 🤷🏾 Not asking for it to be easy, just for it to make sense. I just skip all the DLC and they basically dont exist to me because Im a grown man who respects my time and my sanity. I play for fun so that’s why I only do the main story. Its fine i dont really care its just I wish the DLC’s didnt feel like a chore, especially compared to the other souls games, since DLC’s are really what add the “ooo wow!” Factor in dark souls games. Whoever created these dlc in ds2 really needs to be let go, seriously xD.
Canada LoL
just whole ds2 is a billions of hobos and freaks
Non mi freghi sei italiano
Lud and zallen is the only boss fight I could not complete from all fromsoft games... Ffs
That area is terrible, by far the worst level ever
This game sucked as a dark souls game it was bad , alone it was good
Oh look, another Video hating on Dark Souls 2, people are very entitled about this. By those standards you can also argue how pointless Dark Souls 1 DLC was. Because it has not added anything besides cool bosses to fight, the whole time travel thing would not change anything in the past after all, only thing it has done was make you look cooler because you were the one defeating Manus. Seriously, can people just enjoy games for once and not shit on everything? There are TRUE shitty games you should focus on, especially the companies behind it.
pretty sure Baron has stated multiple times in other videos he loves dark souls 2, the caption literally says a humurous look at the story, its just him being sarcastic, relax
@@johnkenney7795 Then I excuse myself on this, I not know his other videos, RUclips just recommended this video in particular. Glad to hear some people love it at least.
It's easaly the best in terms of replayability because it is to my knowlide the only one that Changes Enemy Placement's in ng+
Yeah, lets Not critique flawed things and Just swallow it. Just how mindless people do.
Ds2 gets what it deserves, sometimes too much but often still very correct.
The fact that there are terrible Games out there isnt the subject here.
PS. You defeated manus. If that is nothing then i dont see your Logic. Combined with all the sweet details and thought behind it
PPS. It seems very much thst you jump on everyone without even giving the time listen
@@Exel3nce And the same logic goes to the other in the series, as soon someone critics DS1, DS3, Bloodborne or Sekiro, people deny such. The point is, people always act like it's the worst thing that happened to the series.
Like it ruined the franchise, yet it was still going after, right? I mean, it was the second in the series, third if we count Demon Souls, critique is one thing, but most critique comes down to "I hate it because", or at worse because the Director was not involved with it.
I mean seriously, you fanboys act like people back then with Zelda 2, there is and was not a direct way how the series will go.
Go play your countless rehashed Call of Duty, FIFA or Assassin's Creed that barely change or add anything or try out. This is why we not get new things and just get flooded in copies of game concepts, see in this case the Souls-Like Trend.
I Just never could stand the ds2 dlcs. I hated and still hate them so much. The only good things i can give them are the bosses
Fcking sinh, alonne, fume, and the mega Boss fight down the fire pit
"3 dlcs" lmao, so u call dlc a recycling models?
Didn't know that Ice themed Decor, Every DLC Boss and Enemy, the DLC Weapons, the DLC Spells and Armor was already in Dark Souls 2
A set of new weapons can be considered a DLC in some games, or even a lone armor set, so yeah, it is 3 whole DLC's
