    Dark Souls 2 teaches us something to remember when faced with many of life's great challenges: When lost and unsure of what to do, try taking off all your clothes.

      thank you dark souls ii: hard edition, for teaching us basic logic by pushing us to our limits harder than the original ii.

    The champion’s covenant in Majula makes all enemies harder but causes them to respawn infinitely, also using a great shield you can stand on the ledge left of the big circle room that has the second lever! Great video, hope to see more!

    Okay, that was amazing run.
    I did Ds2 consumables only run myself and there is a nice trick to beat Vendrick and many other hollow enemies.
    Blue Sentinel Targray sells holy water urns which deal an extreme amount of damage to the hollow enemies.
    Also firebombs scale from elemental bonuses which you get from leveling Int/Faith and throwing knives and poison build up scales from Dex.

    14:20 About the "random ass update": There was an issue discovered in all souls games from released on pc where in online play, other players could insert items into your inventory (thus banning you), bricking your save, or even execute code on your pc (Random Code Execution or RCE). The servers for DS1-3 were shut down and from tried to fix these issues; the first update came to DS3 and DS2:SotFS was second to receive an update. While in DS2 the RCE seems to be fixed quite well, the inventory and save manipulation are still possible.

    Fun fact: the "Girls can be kings, too" was probably meant as a joke, but there actually was a female "rex" (king) in poland in 1384, as king and queen were actually primarily titles with slightly different sets of rules, so Queen Jadwiga was crowned king as to remain in a state of functional rule. So yeah. they actually can.

    I am so very happy to see more DS2 videos. And of great quality too. Also, just cause I didn’t see any comments about it, to refresh your memory: You don’t need to sue an ascetic to stop the spawn rates. There’s a covenant at the end of the cliff path besides the door to the way for Heide’s in Majula. There you will find the champion’s rock, and champion’s covenant, which is basically hardmode. Enemies are stronger, you are weaker, and respawn limits don’t exist. So you can farm without going to ng. I know it’s less effective technically, but just reminding for when you wanna do that at an area you didn’t kill the boss yet

  • @765craven4
    @765craven4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    One other method that would work for grinding Souls without having to use Bonfire Ascetics would be to use the Company of Champions Covenant. It prevents enemies from despawning.

    Man, the fact that you did this on Scholar of the First Sin is insane. A lot of those stamina draining attacks are just non-existent in the normal version of Dark Souls II (also the normal game is just easier in general). I believe the giants' souls are easier to get (the ones that aren't from the dragon anyways). Props to you for sticking to your rules even when stamina-draining attacks were introduced! I know other TH-camrs would've made an exception to those attacks so I'm glad you didn't.

    Glad to find this channel and hope it blows up. Plenty of challenge run channels out there but few who do these interesting sort of runs that make way for completely unique problems that need unorthodox or wacky strategies to get around them, and don’t get boring halfway through after getting settled into a build or method that can just be repeated for the rest of the run, making the challenge nearly obsolete. Will definitely watch every other video and will be looking out for the next one

    @lizard1255 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A good tip for any other DS2 runs which require souls, but no easy way of killing enemies. Najka is a really easy boss fight, and once you kill her you can skip Doors and go straight to Tseldora. Once in Tseldora the enemies near all the rocks will almost always kill themselves trying to hit you with said rocks. It nets about 2k souls every time, and just requires a reload of the area to set back up. It is consistent and way easier than trying to farm souls in Heides.
    Another option is rushing through the enemies leading up to the Executioners chariot boss fight, jump across the gap before the red enemy, and watch as all the enemies decide to just walk off. This also nets around 3-4K souls per attempt, and is faster then the Tseldora method. It is however way harder to pull off consistently, and runs the risk of losing souls.

    • @MeatyJesus
      @MeatyJesus  ปีที่แล้ว

      Close, but inaccurate. The trigger is somewhere past the halfway point of the bridge. Once you cross that threshold, the timer starts for the dragon to appear. You can stay on the first half indefinitely. I can't speak for how long the timer is relative to eggs broken.
