How to be OP and Get BOTH Illusory Rings (Dark Souls 2 SotFS)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- If you beat the game without dying, you get a hidden ring called the Illusory ring of the Conqueror.
Likewise, if you beat the game without using a bonfire, you get a similar ring called the Illusory ring of the Exalted.
Pretty hard stuff. But what if I tell you that you can get BOTH at the SAME TIME?
Thats right. Its time to reinstall Dark Souls 2 and finish what you never even started.
Its time for YOU to do a No Death No Bonfire Run
This is a full guide on obtaining the "hidden" illusory rings in Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin. Details below.
By using the most OP PvE weapon in Dark Souls 2 SotFS, which is the Rapier, you can get BOTH illusory rings(illusory ring of the conqueror, illusory ring of the exalted) at the same time by doing a no death no bonfire run in new game.

After starting the game your first objective is to get a +6 Rapier and the stats to use it(12 dex). After that level up VGR, ADP and END to maximize the chance of survival. Repair powder is key to this run and is the most valuable consumable items until Drangleic Castle(you can buy unlimited RP at Drangleic Castle).

Hey mysterious entities can have voices, don’t be racist
@@YeetYeet-gg7sf Wouldn't that be specist?
No face reveal and it'll be all good
I never knew he had a voice untill now
@@juggernaut4936 It would be so fucking weird if he did a face reveal 💀
They call him sellsword luet because he sell all his swords to buy a giant shield, simple as that
It all makes sense now
Can Vaati confirm?
But he has two giant shields, where did he get enough money for the second one?
@@vladimirkolar9623 He sold more swords, duh

Only From Soft would make you near perfectly master the PvE for rings that are only useful in PvP
I mean, it makes sense considering an item that makes pve easier would be pretty useless at that point

I don't think I have ever died from that hole, usually it is the guys that explode that get me... Or panic rolling off of the edge. 😣
Also have a F. That totally sucks for a no death run.

So, I ended up doing the No Death/No Bonfire run on NG+ with my faith character. Keep in mind that I had never attempted either run until that point.
Before starting NG+, I made sure to equip one of the Replenishment miracles, one of the Heal miracles, and Denial. However, because I’m an idiot, I forgot to stock up on Repair Powders and had to constantly switch between Santier’s Spear and some other choice weapons.
Lemme tell you, it was one of the most stressful runs of my life. There were so many times where I would’ve died if I didn’t have Denial active. Walking next to a pit was sweat-inducing. I had to call phantoms whenever I could, just to have someone to distract enemies and tank damage. And on top of it all, I hadn’t gone through NG+ before, so I had no idea what the new enemy placement was.
To this day, I’m still shocked that I made it.
Nice!
Welp, I feel like a newb now.
Did you wear the spell recharge crown? Iron king's i think.
Just in case you do not know your supposed to break santiers spear.
I take it you have to play offline. Imagine getting invaded in the middle of the game by some asshole...

just got my no-deaths run about 5 minutes ago, couldn't have done it without this guide. thank you so much man
Stocking up on repair powders is the most important part. You can also do this on a NG+ of any character.
Awesome guide, particularly useful for achievement hunting

If you're on ps4 you could just back up your save in areas you think you may have trouble with and reload the save if you die.

@@aricaric1894 Save scumming is basically cheating
@@aricaric1894 If that is not cheating, what would be cheating? You just broke the most important part of the game. DS is about the punishments for your mistakes
At that point just back the rings into the game to save time, at least cheat quickly smh
Might be a little late to the party but wanted to say thanks i finally beat my run and got both rings, keep putting out great content :)
Unironically my guidance throughout the illusory ring run (although I did make some of my changes, such as combining the use of rapier and santier spear, and more exploration and doing some easy minibosses). Amazing content, honestly this is truly a work of an insanely good Dark Souls player. Can't wait for more challenge runs :D
I had been attempting this for the past few days with your guide, and as of 2am today I managed to become another madman who achieved this.
i just stumbled upon this person and i have to admit
your editing made me laugh super hard
yyou sir are a genius
I enjoy your videos for their content and humor. Thank you for being one of the few helpful creators for DS2
I just finished my no death/bonfire run, and I wanted to say a big THANK YOU, SKELETON, for this video! I couldn't have done it as easily as I did without your instructions! It was one of the most intense and nerve-wracking experiences I ever had in any of these games, but I finally did it! And I'm so glad I got to tick that off of my to-do list, at last! Thank you kindly for the video and all the effort you put into this, ymfah! Long may the sun shine!
You got both rings?!
BRO THIS WAS SO COOL AND IMPRESSIVE! Congratulations!

Soo....
rape-ier best weapon ei
no because the espada rapera is just a straight upgrade to it :^) shame you can't get that until basically endgame, same with the similarly arguably better ice rape-ier
The be weary of red iron twin blade
problem with red iron is it weighs like four hundred [units], doesn't work so well in halls and has a relatively poor moveset for twinblades (all of its first attacks besides iirc the rolling r1 are just straightsword attacks, so it is sometimes worse than other twinblades and even postnerf santier's for bosses, where you have the window for a twinblade twirl but not a straightsword swing AND a twinblade twirl between their attacks). Some of the benefits of rapiers are that almost nothing resists thrust, nearly as many things are weak to it as strike, they can be used even in tight spaces but have good reach, and they're very fast and all their attacks are low-commitment. Plus the rapier and espada ropera have one of the best parries in the game which is just icing on the cake.
but yeah for sheer power/dps I don't think anything beats red iron.

That video was a blast to watch, so interesting to see how you managed to get both rings at once!

I never did any challenge run in the entire trilogy... Except for this one. I'm so dumb, but I regret nothing.
Great job with this.
I'm still a long way off from even attempting this, but this was both informative and entertaining.
Also in the part where it says cheese the dragonrider, you can actually shoot him with a bow and arrow from just left of the first lever. About a hundred wood arrows and he'll turn toward you and raise his shield that's when you can run past everybody else when you get into the boss room he has no health left him once and he's done

6:58 I believe we’ve found the cancer that killed Robbie Rotten... If only we got there sooner...
Phycalix X this video didn’t age well
Thank you. This was a huge help in completing my own run and I learned a lot. One thing I wish I had known before my run was to let weapons break and fix them at a Blacksmith. I had a long stretch where every viable weapon had very low durability; I almost gave up. I wish this was worth a couple of trophies because I'll never use these rings so it's a shallow victory.
It’s so stupid that the blacksmith can only repair your weapons if they are broken.
Like... Game, I know that you’ve decided to mess up your balancing by having a shitty system where every weapon is made out of glass but it’s okay because the bonfires now repair your equipment for some reason... but come on.
Finally did it thanks to your video and a few adjustments I did to my playstyle (I got the Flynn's Ring and Old Leo Ring to get some insane damage).
I love your videos, they have helped me so much thank you.
I have just finished the run and waiting for the credits. Thank you ymfah.
Got all the way to the dragonrider. Got corner trapped by that big knight. "Sorry you made the trip for nothing" - MiB 2

Godspeed if decide to give this run a try. No man’s cheeks have ever been as clenched as mine were in the final smash. Thanks for the dope vids and inspiring cool shit to do in the souls series, love you’re content and mad respect for you for getting this run and allowing me to do it as well

I remember wanting both rings, i did a NG+ no death no bonfire run
Im being totally honest, it wasnt actually all that difficult, what it was was very aggrivating, time consuming, and annoying. Mostly because of the not being able to rest at bonfires thing
normally if you were doing one or the other its easier. Say you were only doing a no bonfire run. Out of spells? Just die. Doesnt count as a bonfire rest and you get all your stuff back. No death run? Sticky situation? Feather out
You can feather out in a no-bonfire and no-death run, but because of the way you have to go about doing it to be efficient, that could drastically set you back, and put you at risk of repeating a tricky situation
------------------
I was damn close to losing my whole run at the very end though. Fuck the god damn throne duo
These uploads are great because I started playing ds2 again not too long ago
Got the plat recently and am now trying this but santiers version. It's tough sledding with a lot of resets so far but the guide really helps. Good shit.

Successful run time was 4h30 of pucker clenching.
Other attempts had varying levels of frustrating mistakes, but getting wombo combo-ed out of a run by Neshandra at 5% of her health was pretty f**king sour.

@@salderin Hmm, I think it was one of her scythe twirlies that hit me (the quick left-right spins she does when you're close to her), then I pulled back to suckle on some lifegems and timed it just right for her to hit me with her beam. Good times
@@olivius007 i suckled on a life gem and got hit by the beam, only to stand up again and lose my i-frames while the same beam kept going lol. She is surprisingly cruel as I've learned from both your comment and also my recent experience
@@salderin Yeah, I don't know why but I was way more stressed about some other bosses than her, in the beginnings of my attempts. Then I learned the hard way she can absolutely still slap your day after you've gotten all the way to her.

True feminists want equality between genders. Anything otherwise is sexist and misrepresents our cause. A few bad apples can spoil the bunch, unfortunately.
Yikes
@@hylianexpected1171 its not just a few apples
HylianExpected Technically and practically incorrect.
Technically, a true feminist wants to better the place of women in a society, wether in any field (economic, social, political, etc), which means advocating for less inequality between men and women, equality between men and women, or female supremacy. And in practicality, many feminists are... If not women supremacist, at the very least misandrists (note that I didn’t say « most », I wouldn’t dare give a number about something on which I probably couldn’t even have statistics about even if I searched for it), and I have no reason to deny them their label.
(And yes, it does mean that, technically speaking m, if a person lives in a society where women are put to death for infidelity and asks that they merely get imprisoned for life, he or she is asking for feminist reforms)
