      It is my least favourite dark souls game (didn't play bloodborne or demon souls yet) but it is not so bad as many say.
      I enjoyed my first playthrough.
      It was frustrating (mostly because my game lagged.. Laptop not good enough) sometimes but thats ok
      I didn't like that sometimes there were so many enemies between a bonfire and a boss.
      Or that the weapons break to quickly
      Or that you lose health when you die
      But I still like it

      dont know if its because of everyone being locked indoors due to the zombie virus but ive seen an uptick in online activity in ds2 and 3. (im ds1 remaster burnt out atm so i have no clue about it) Doing a replay of SOTFS and always pleased to see some pvp action here and there, i know somewhere between the final ds3 dlc and up to a few months after the ds1 remaster came out it was a shit show trying to do anything online in ds2. So any life brought back into it is fine by me.

      i think the world design got worse with each game after ds1. ds3 worlds design although it looks pretty is insanely linear. Ds2 world design is very open on the other hand. ds2 did a couple of things like build flexibility, poise, amount of stamina a roll costs, world interconnectivity really well. but the lock on system, boss design, certain lore aspects, and soul memory are a step back. and because there are so many areas and most enemy's don't scale with you it can feel like a cakewalk completing all of them before moving on. Darksouls 2 is a great game if you take it on its own. its just not the greatest 'souls' game^^

    Fun fact (also spoiler alert): If you want to get the real Moonlight Greatsword you need to kill Dukes Dear Freja on NG+, or after you apply a bonfire ascetic to the bonfire in the area. The boss will drop the Old Paledrake Souls which you can bring to Weaponsmith Ornifex to exchange for the sword. This ties into the lore of the game since Dukes Dear Freja holds the remnants of the soul of Seath the Scaleless from DS1.
    In a similar fashion the Rotten, the Old Iron King and the Lost Sinner all drop the souls of the Lords from DS1 (Old Dead One's Soul, Old King Soul and Old Witch Soul respectively). These correspond to Nito, Gwyn and the Witch of Izalith.

      As far as I remember there is an item that says that when the old iron king fell into the lava he found the one whose name cannot be said. i believe someone's soul with a fragment of izalith. The lost sinner has something interesting as well, which is a chaos bug (just like the supposed izalith witch in the cradle of chaos) in her eye. Also something I THINK of is the fact that Seath received a part of Gwyn's Great Soul (the source I think was the Pale Dragon's own soul).

    @Lukeinator64 4 роки тому +155

    This video is just making me remember why I love DaS2 the most: It just isn't at all captured in the other games. The NPCs in DaS2 all just have such life and evolve in ways that don't just end in "I died" or "I hollowed." I think Benhardt is really underrated just because he does everything he does believing he has some ancient, hyper magical sword but is really just strong of faith, leading him to somehow obtain his own Ashen Mist Heart (implying he also conquered the Dragon Aerie). I know that's similar to Solaire with the "knight of faith", but there's something about Benhardt putting such faith in a weapon that he actually could really know isn't anything special that just kills me.

Nito desired to let the dead rest in peace, in comfort, away from the rabblings and drama of his fellow gods which rather unfortunately got shit on by pretty much everyone.

      I believe the studio won't touch DkSII (and III) in a very long time, if ever. But if it got a remaster or an update, at the very least it'd be great if they reworked the levels we already got in the vanilla game. The DLC ones were superb. I wouldn't complain if they added more memory-type levels to explore though (loved the giants' memories).

      @@BPSentertainment It's kind of dumb tbh but that area in shrine of amana is locked behind a petriefed hollow. It's pretty much for lore reasons because the "secret" is that flame thingy. When you interact with the flame that the milfanito is praying, it won't do anything, but if you interact with it or "pray" when you have 0 human effigies and i mean NONE, not even in your storage, you get a free hollow restoration and it only works that way. And i say its dumb because pretty much no player will have 0 human effigies at that point and most of us would have to discard our humanities just to see it work lmao not worth it.

    - Prowlers can be found in Belfry Sol and Brume Tower
    - Prowlers have a rare chance of spawning in Belfry Sol each time you rest at the bonfire and spawn infinitely
    - Prowlers spawn as invaders in the Brume Tower just before the Smelter Throne bonfire and require a Bonfire Ascetic in order to respawn
    - Each piece of the of the Mad Warrior as well as the Berserker Blade drop individually
    - You can only obtain the Mad Warrior Set and Berserker Blade Katana once every New Game Playthrough
    - You can only obtain the Bell Keeper set by reaching maximum devotion (Rank 3) to the Bell Keeper Covenant which requires to invade and kill 100 trespassers (Other Players) within Belfry Sol/Belfry Luna

      @King_Firebrand 4 роки тому +32

      You can kill this red phantom over and over again to level up your rank of the bellkeeper covenant. He won't spawn every single time you reload the area though, so you have to climb the ladder and see if he spawned and if not, use homeward bone or aged feather or homeward miracle to reload area and climb the ladder again.
      If you have already killed EVERY enemy in the whole area (I mean from beginning of the castle all the way to the boss room) and all the enemies of the bellfry area enough times so they don't respawn anymore, you can use the miracle that detects nearby enemies (I think it is called "unveil") next to the bonfire and it will show you if the phantom has spawned. (If the eye spawned from the miracle just slowly rises into the air he has not spawned. If it rises fast and goes towards the ladder he will have spawned).
      If you need a better or more clear explanation let me know.

      Heide's Tower: Heide Knights are cancerous in everything they do. (Tip: Avoid them)
      Earthen Peak: Claw Mannekins' infinite tracking, instant poise break and single frame charges. (Tip: Kill them as quick as possible, Overkill is recommended)
      Iron Keep: 10 Alonne Kniggas in one area gangbanging you alongside the two most broken NPC invaders. (Tip: Bait these fuckers one by one with a bow and good luck with Fencer Sharron)
      Black Gulch: Poison, Invaders and Handjob Tar Monsters (Tip: R U N)
      Lost Bastille: Exploding enemies and dogs every-fucking-where, also annoying ass pursuer appearing everywhere. (Tip: Use ranged weapons to take out the exploding shits and dogs)
      Shrine of Amana: Magic spammers and swarms of annoying enemies. (Tip: Use bow to snipe dem magic thots)
      Undead Crypt: Same as Shrine of Amana but now its dark as fuck and there's garbage in the way. (Tip: R U N)
      Dragon Shrine: Big Kniggas with maces and warhammers with tons of damage and cancerously fast moves. (Tip: cheese the big knites with a bow, the dragonfellas will only attack when provoked and if you bypass the big dudes without killing them first, if you already have the ashen mist heart you can just walk past everything no problem tho.)
      Eleum Loyce: Same as Shrine of Amana except the enemies are now tough as fuck. (Tip: kill one by one, slowly.)
      Brume Tower: Same as Iron Keep but now the enemies get buffed and they jump towards you in a second. Also explosions. (Tip: Wedge Nadalia immediately, save at least 4 sticks for the bottom of the tower.)
      Sanctum City Shulva: Enemies with poise and invulnerability. (Tip: Use the bow to bait enemies and destroy the statues to make the ghost knights killable)

      The problem with DS3 is every weapon that isn't straight/curved/great sword isn't viable, whips, fists (or weapons share the fists' moveset), spears, bows, maces, scythes, etc aren't viable or atleast aren't as good as the swords in this game, it's really sad that the bows are very bad compared to the bowblade from Bloodborne, which makes me think, did they actually test the weapons or not? The viability-range in DS3 is from useless weapon to good weapon
      The viability-range in DS2 is from broken weapon to even more broken weapon, which makes me ask the same question, did they actually test the weapons or not ?

      no mans wharf is tough. if you reserve a pharros's lockstone it is a lot less terrible, though.

    DS2 may have disappointing boss fights and level design, but From's attention to detail is really insane. Lots of things got carried over to DS3 from DS2 (PVP, Firekeeper, Weapon arts, etc.)

      ​@@vittocrazi Objectively is not an opinion.
      Metacritic user score is the lowest of all 3 (on PC to make it easier)
      Comparing original version, not remastered and not SOTFS, even tho, SOTFS lower score than DS1 Prepare to die.
      Steam reviews also same, DS2 is the lowest
      Also, the less sold.
      Also, it's the one that has less mods, meaning less interests.
      So this is objectively.
      It also has a bad reputation in the Dark souls community which I always try to defend because even tho he is not perfect, he is worth to play!!
      Now, subjectively is an opinion and mine is that it's my favorite
