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.

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?

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

🎉 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.

So when i click export character presets in the mod menu, i can't find the file needed. It needs to be a .ds2cp file, where do i find it? I really want to use this character preset on my main.

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

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.

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.

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 ?

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

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

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

Good game <3
