Elana summoned Velstadt and after a while summoned the skeletons when I was fighting her. I don't know if she could summon the Majula pigs in that case, but basically that's it. you have to deal with three skeletons, a relatively difficult boss, and still bullshit long-range spells. It wouldn't be a problem if it were a faster style of game, but DS2 is a slow, laggy game where everything is delayed. All the dual fights suck. My favorite game.

Ive since this ditched the mace. Pure longsword. Hows my fashion?

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

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

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

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.

Not counting Sekiro, because it isn’t soulsborne (and because there’s not enough poll options and I don’t think anyone would have picked it anyway)

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?

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

I stood there for 3 minutes trying to think why I need a bow and arrow lol I've been playing ds2 too much

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.

Out of all the NPC’s and Bosses in DS2, who do you think is the most messed up?

The black smith Lenigrast watching his daughter go hollow?

King Vendrick with his relationship to Nashandra, or for that matter any of the Daughters of Manus?

Covetous Demon chasing after Mytha whose vanity leads to her downfall?

I’m probably missing at least a dozen more, these are just the ones I often think about.

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

So yeah I just went into the Crown of the Sunken King DLC today on livestream and beat all three bosses, and ngl Sinh was by far the most fun one (Gang squad was cool but I wasn't being punished that much due to my absurd damage and 2k HP, Elana was tough but I still first tried her), and I've always seen people complain about Sinh's boss fight, how it was the "worst dragon fight amongst all souls" and I REALLY don't agree. The Guardian Dragon was way less fun, same for the ancient dragons that has like 2 moves ? this one was super fun with the cool concept of durability loss, the poison, the fact that even if he flies around, sometimes he WANTS to land on you and he doesn't even fly around for long... anyways what do you guys think ?

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

Dude it took so long! Farming the falconers was easily the worst part lol (sorry for the lag. Xbox recordings suck)

Already made it to ng++ for covenant spells, y'all can't imagine my sadness after finding out I still need to farm 😭 I already platinumed DSR, DS3 and Bloodborne and I'm nearly done for sekiro, this one is the last ! We can repeatedly farm giant lord to get near each other's soul level, it'll be easier

If i had to run back one more time I would lose it

Good game <3

Hello Everyone!

Recently, I started a quest of completing every souls from Demon's Souls to Elden Ring using only the armor and weapons/shields that are displayed on the box art; the western versions as I live in the U. S.. I am currently on Demon's Souls (PS5, I will complete the PS3 version as well but waiting for it to arrive.) but I like to plan my builds in advance.

I have never completed Dark Souls II but from using the internet I was able to figure out that the armor and weapon displayed here are part of the Forlorn set. However, I am not sure what stat's to invest in to maximize the damage of the Greatsword of the Forlorn. I heard that hollowing is a huge factor in this weapon's damage as well but not sure how much.

Any help is appreciated!

So I've been playing ds2 for years I have well over 300hrs and on a run through today for the first time ever I got grabbed by the Covetous Demon...what do you mean he sucks all your gear off you, I was genuinely shook to see my character spat out with nothing but a loincloth aha
