@@bishal1125 I double checked on the build calculator for dark souls 2, put every stat to 99. Casting speed goes up to 150, agility goes up to 119. Sure, you can go over that with equipment, but the base stats will only take you so far.
@@PierreLucSex yeah, next time you play and are leveling, you'll be able to see it go up. I just did my first play through of the game the other day too, so my memory is pretty fresh
Fun fact! ADP also boosts the speed you inflict Poison. Using the rapier and getting a few stabs, then becoming a dodge god while the poison ticks is fun!
After you got past 30 ADP you begin to have more I-Frame than a majority of attacks have for frames that can do damage. Meaning the higher your agility stat is the more attacks you can just straight roll through that you normally would not be able to.
@@windflier1684 he’s making fun of the idea that ADP was basically a necessary stat to level up. In Elden Ring, a lot if enemies do chunks of your health in a few hits. this means you’re kinda nudged to dumping levels to vigor (similar to adp)
@@wamhoi1 why would you need a Vigor if there's a shit ton of defense stuff? Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman alone does it quite well for endgame ( using it on my mage )
Covetus demon is fun cus there is so much stuff that youd never see Like the dudes to distract the boss or him eating your equipment off If they gave him more defense he would be an okay boss
It seems to help some with rolls to me but the main thing is the estus speed because trying to drink estus in this game is not easy unless you raise it up some. I like to get it about 98 or so and i feel like the estus chug is about the same speed as ds3. Well close enough anyway.
To be fair is kinda the point of the lifegems, they are faster to use, but heal slower. While I don't think this balance was good, i've also always thought that healing in DS3 is way too fast, to the point where you dont need to look for the right openings anymore, you can just chug that shit after any attack and recover before the enemy can do anything. Do think DS1 had a good balance, you had to be strategic on when to use it, but also didnt feel imposible to do like in 2
I heard that the game starts being good at 99 adp. Seriously though, just by the first minute, i can see how well made the video is and how much time went into it. great job dude.
8:00 I actually love the Skeleton Lords The music combined with the skeleton army makes a fight that makes you not want to stand still. It is fun to me! Skeleton Lords is La Danse Macabre through and through.
@@SiliconHaloMedia yeah the run back of that boss is just stupid. Most of the run backs in ds’s dlc are dog water. Except fume knight, fume knight is goated

I was surprised to learn that you are around 1k subs you have a great sense of humor and make enjoyable content looking forward to watching more of your content
I love that most of the main things you upgrade give you more hp (more or less depending on wich) wich means you cant really go that wrong with your build
The scorpion stinger is honestly my fav thrusting weapon even more than the rapier, it does more damage at much lower levels and inflicts poison too. OP
Well this looks like a challenge run I can actually do without immense levels of pain and suffering, I did an sl1 of ds3 once and it was incredibly painful, but I still considered doing one for ds2 despite what I had heard about having no adp sucking, this challenge seems like a good way to have a run similar to sl1 without not having any i-frames. Great video!
I did SL1 runs for DeS (crescent falchion), DS1 (pyro build), DS2 (Vanquisher's Seal), DS3 (broadsword + carthus flame arc), and BB (BL4, saw spear). I meant to try Elden Ring but got distracted by life. I had the most trouble with DS3, mostly due to Dancer and the Twins, but I would say that DS2 was the one that tried my patience the most. The saving grace is unlimited life gems so you can take every fight as slow as you want/need. But the strategy almost never changes. If you do end up going for it rather than ADP-only, I recommend going Covenant of Champions, get the Vanquisher's Seal. Although CoC makes things a little harder, the Seal gives you good damage with no weight/durability, and that can be crucial in long fights.
It's standard operating procedure for my in DS2 that Adaptability is the first stat I boost up in a new game. 6 Attunement and 24 Adaptability get me just enough Agility for 11 s.
Always wanted to make a character that just had max vitality and adaptability. Since armor scales off vitality in this game you would be crazy hard to kill, have a lighter roll with really heavy armor, and a ton of i-frames to boot! Getting there is painfully slow though! Better with a respec.
at 2:40 you are correct... in saying that the wiki is wrong lol. the i frames i. ds1, ds3 and elden ring NEVER change between weight classes. what does change is your recovery frames from said animation. shorter the animation, the sooner you can roll again/the faster you can chain rolls. hope this helps! anyways, loved the video :>
Just one thing, the skeleton lords fight isn't really long if you use a strike weapon like a mace. It's just that "poke" weapons like rapiers are the worst type of damage against skeletons. It's ridiculous how you can 2-3 shot the lords with a decently upgraded strike weapon, try it next time!
Really nice video i enjoyed It quite a lot, i am surprised you dont have that much subscribers. I liked the small jokes at the beginning, the Office jokes, a hat in time music, etc. Keep the good work Up man, your Channel Will grow in no time!!
What many people don't know is that when you level ADP to 99 you just have to roll once and the invincibility frames will last until the end of the game. You can simply walk through enemy attacks from then on.
Nice video and great job i have the plat for this game and every time i play it the first thing to do is get ADP to 40 at least but never above so thx for showing us the results I am subbed 👍🏻👏🏼
6:44 Let me remind you of vitality and luck in dark souls 3. Why didnt equip load just stay on endurance. and why level luck, when there are 3 items that tripple the item discovery stat. and if that isnt enought there still are the rusted coin items
This vid popped up on my home page and I'm in agreement with others here - knew right off the bat that this is a high quality production. Very surprised you dont have more subs but definitely keep doing what youre doing and you will blow up for sure!
Everyone complains about ds2 hitboxes, but in my marathoning of the trilogy i notice a serious lack of complaints towards hitboxes that are arguably worse in ds3, or people excusing it with a "it's an AOE. ofcourse it hit you there" completely ignoring the fact the "aoe" threw the character into a clear "i was hit over the head by a giant mallet" slam on the ground, rather than a "i was thrown away, or took some standard damage" stun animations. Just saying. People act almost like ds3 has labotomized them whenver they play it. Not to mention anything with fire in ds3 you can basically presume the hitbox is 1.5x larger than what it visibly looks like.
Any souls game has bad hit boxes on occasion and ds2 is no different, but slightly worst. However as I said in the video by getting ado maxed out I feel like the hit boxes got a lot tighter. I dunno if it was a feeling but if you check out the najka fight you will see what I mean. Ds3 has some bad hitboxes but most of the times they are pretty tight. But dark souls 1,2 and 3 have flaws and are imperfect but that’s why we love them. Thanks for watching the video btw hope you enjoyed it!
My first play through, I didn’t understand nashandra was the final boss until I saw the credits roll. I beat her on my second try and didn’t at all feel like it was a unique or interesting boss
Great one, suscribed! Indeed the duo before nashandra is a pain, I never get problems with them till I did a Sl1 run, after get killed so many times I went for the cheese with poison arrows on both, dodge and run for a while and finished them with the rapier. Not proud but hey, got them haha
Sick vid, subbed. I will say though, a little more audio balancing with the cutaway references, memes etc. wouldn't be amiss. Good video nonetheless, kept me interested.
Yeah man it’s not my favorite but I still love it and seeing the discussions and how this video blew up it now holds a very special and place in my heart
Been playing through for the first time, decided to do it in the champion's covenant, I have put 120 hours into this playthrough so far. I've not put a single point into this, I didn't know what it did it. Dear God.
For all the red phantoms in ds2, just back up a bit and either punish their forward movement with backstep running attacks or just parry when they r1. They are all "programable" by playing with spacing
People that complained about leveling ADP are the same people that still refuse to level vigor in ER: both have unforgiving deaths and still dare to ask what happened lol
Great video, thanks for returning to DS2. Something that could be better though, is the loudness consistency. Some tracks/memes go twice as loud as the rest of the video. Setting the volume to hear what you wanted to say, but then have a family member woken up by a random loud AF meme is not fun.
Ive always stood back a few feet so the bomb hit the ground, most ground spots have thin walls so you can use bombs on the ground to hit things on the other side. Its tricky to use and trickier to find spots where it works but it has worked twice for me!
On my first playthrough, it was the bulk of what my levels went to because it made the most blue numbers come on the level up screen after I had the stats for the Drangleic sword. Which btw, the srangleic sword is such a short greatsword that it makes it bad, but it will always hold a place in my heart for being my first souls weapon.
@@OnAChairSittingdef will do that. Right now I’m working on cheesing the shit out of ds1 and believe it or not it’s harder than just a regular playthough (some bosses are)
to be fair I usually take a petrified something off the birthright gift. it's just nice for the start getting a slab, maybe the nifty white ring, or you get both lucky and unlucky and get the Demon's Hammer right away idk
it really does a lot of things. Increases agillity wich is not only for the dodge roll but most animations, heals, rolls, casting etc. Also you can also increase agility by lvling up atunement but it increases agillity by a bit less. And if im not wrong increases the amount of poison and bleed you give the enemies and the damage they do to them, but i can be wrong with that
I did not upgrade adp on my first run because i didn't know what it was and didnt care about it (im a smart fella)
We’ve all been there. I hated it my first run cause the rolling seemed so off
Same man, I just thought the game was shit now I can appreciate its not so bad, still the worst in the series but not a bad game by any stretch
And pretty soon after you became a fart smella 👌
@@JokingThiefI came here to say that, I’m glad someone did

@streamurmind lol true
Ive always stood back a few feet so the bomb hit the ground, most ground spots have thin walls so you can use bombs on the ground to hit things on the other side. Its tricky to use and trickier to find spots where it works but it has worked twice for me!
I started a new game last night and now I want to try this
I subscribed to your channel and liked The video
thank you man! Hope you enjoyed the video
I see some videos, but not to many give some opportunity to explore the game. That why I watch this time of video they give the info you need
Personally I think that the flexile sentry is difficult if you use the great axe on your first run.
>hits 99
>rolls through boss
>rolls through the world

On my first playthrough, it was the bulk of what my levels went to because it made the most blue numbers come on the level up screen after I had the stats for the Drangleic sword.
Which btw, the srangleic sword is such a short greatsword that it makes it bad, but it will always hold a place in my heart for being my first souls weapon.

15:17 was awesome (undertale soundtracks still the best)

thnx man, for me reaching this many views is a LOT and I appreciate all fo you guys who watched, liked or subbed
very entertaining, great video
Attunement also raises agility. Much like how sorcerers gain their spell slots, fighters must gain their adaptability.
Never knew about this mechanic until after i made my 20th character after being corrupted
I believe attunement also increases agility I wonder what it's like with both at 99
I think the cap for frames is 116 but probably casting speed and healing get a lot of improvement
@@streamurmind "What happens if you only level up attunement" big brain new video time, you get all the agil at such a greater cost
@@OnAChairSittingdef will do that. Right now I’m working on cheesing the shit out of ds1 and believe it or not it’s harder than just a regular playthough (some bosses are)
@streamurmind Haha yeah, I've done stuff like that for a vid before
to be fair I usually take a petrified something off the birthright gift. it's just nice for the start getting a slab, maybe the nifty white ring, or you get both lucky and unlucky and get the Demon's Hammer right away idk
nice vid, haven't played ds2 so always been confused about the stat since it's not in the fromsoft games I've played
it really does a lot of things. Increases agillity wich is not only for the dodge roll but most animations, heals, rolls, casting etc. Also you can also increase agility by lvling up atunement but it increases agillity by a bit less. And if im not wrong increases the amount of poison and bleed you give the enemies and the damage they do to them, but i can be wrong with that
Just poison
Bleed is more tied to dex/fait but I could also be wrong 😁
