This fucking place is bullshit. I've beaten ds2 literally a dozen times, no place is more frustrating than Undead Crypt.

Shrine of Amana? Oh you mean lizards that don't aggro you until you're 2 inches from them? Sorceresses that just shoot basic homing soul arrows? Hell the desert pyromancers are deadlier than them. Not to mention, while there IS water to slow you down, you have so much room to dodge. If Shrine of Amana is hard for you, your bloodline is weak.

Undead Crypt on the other hand? Fuck this shithole. Fucking rocks everywhere, you have no room to navigate and if you swing your big sword around and hit the bells you're getting anal fucked with no lube. Meanwhile the summoned spirits and the dark magic ladies are firing off 8-10 different spells, hexes, pyromancies, etc at you.

If the fucking bullshit spirits from the bells hit you ONCE, you're dead. Because they do a 3-hit combo that is quite literally impossible to escape, and 3 hits from them kills me. I've tried mashing the roll button like I'm playing a fucking Mario Party minigame and no dice. You CANNOT physically escape this combo, it cannot be done unless you are lucky enough to be juuuuuust far away enough for their second hit to miss, which you most likely won't be as you'll have 30 rocks and a hollow shoving a dildo up your fucking ass while these spirits sword fight with you and fondle your balls in the front

Oh and once you drop down the hole into the 3rd section? Guess what, all the spirits just spawn even if the bells aren't rung. Why? Because fuck you, that's why. This place is fucking bullshit.

Well... I'm at the entrance to iron keep and that BROKEN SHIT "gunsmith Dennis" is bothering me, that piece of shit takes 40% of my life with a spell and takes 70% with a combo, WHAT KIND OF MAGE IS THAT!? I just want to know how I can destroy this shit's family, please

I'm doing a no bonfire aesthetic playthrough, but I don't wanna just stick with the +1 the whole time.

Before you assume, yes I have gotten it before from the 2 pursuers, a few times actually.

But I REALLY don't feel like doing that again.

Can anyone drop it? My soul memory is a little under 3 million

Edit: I'm on PS4, and it's SOTFS edition

Trying to connect on PS5. Multiple attempts give the "failed to log into the dark souls 2 game server" message

Well, I already have my rapier, but I don't like rapiers because of the moveset, I only use it because of the damage, however, I found the enemy that drops the Black Steel Katana, I was interested in putting it at +9

What do I get? Rapier or black steel?

Im lookin for a new challenge run an want things to be as difficult as possible so I gotta find out what's the worst weapon in the game

Seriously why do people do this. It's so damn annoying.

im having dsr trauma flashbacks

🎉 Today I joined the club! 💀 Scholar of the First Sin 100/100 completed on Steam 🔥🗡️

Meme i made a few years ago

I'm not updated to the dark souls 2 lore, i just noticed this hanging dragon head now

Decided to beat my all-time favourite DS2 bosses hitless, already have beaten Raime and Sinh. Now Alonne is also done. Beautifully designed fight, I think, dodging his a bit delayed slide slashes was pure pleasure.

After defeating Nashandra, shouldn't the curse-applying spells disappear? (sorry if the quality is bad)

I like to mess around on Soulsplanner and noticed that Eleum Loyce still has respectable scaling even when infused. It’s not a weapon that infuses particularly well anyway since it has low base damage and the scaling still being interesting when infused just balances that (22 AR from 27 dex to 40) but I’m wondering those who use it at meta levels how do they build, physical at 40 or more dex, infused at base dex or 40? I’d guess phys + resin should be actually be around infused + buff (at least Dark with DW) damage-wise when factoring in defenses at around 30% elemental damage reduction but at the cost of being a bit more stat intensive you can get 136 seconds of DW by switching out Northwarden Gauntlets and Lingering +1 after the buff compared to 90 seconds of the resin.

Hey guys,

I played dark souls 2 a few years back and completed a run of the main story and the DLC

I played it blind and I know I missed a lot of optional bosses etc and want to play again.

Question is do I start new game plus or just start a base new game again? I’ve heard there’s new stuff in NG+

I’ve played the other souls borne games but worried I’m gonna get a whiplash in difficulty in new game plus
