- I forced myself to Platinum Dark Souls 2! This was no easy task getting the platinum trophy. With all the difficult bosses like Fume Knight and Sir Alonne along with time consuming covenant farming. I was shocked what this game had to offer. Overall I think Dark Souls 2 is a game everyone should try at least once. Even if you don't care about getting the platinum!

You guys have been going crazy with the support recently! I appreciate all of you :)
DS2 people alwase said it was way to easy
Unironically I did the exact same thing, I really do not like ds2 but it was the only from soft game that I hadn't platinumed except demon souls cause ps5, still did it tho
I got the shitty trophy a month ago
I got my plat a few weeks ago, definitely a painful experience, especially farming the sunlight medals offline
Naw the worst farm was farming the mad warrior for the sorcery’s achievement
i hated having to get all the pyromancies and miracles cause i wasnt about to invade/help 500 people each so i had to get to ng+3 instead
For me farming sunlight medals was just chill farm using crystal soul spear. If you use bonfire ascetics instead of covenant to reset spawns you never get lowered drop chances.
Dark souls 3 is worse. The covenant farms in that game are atrocious.
@@Thevikingninja117 lol no
I enjoyed this game despite the bad reviews it gets sometimes. Getting the platinum was fun. I thought
The worst farming I had to do so far in my quest to platinum the games is in DS3 when you have to get items for all the covenants. Seemed like it took forever.
Overall I did really enjoy this plat and I'm preparing mentally for DS3 haha
It’s a decent game. It’s a terrible dark souls game. They should’ve called it something else.
@@MacAttackPlays
Not sure why, but I always found it easier to find more covenant items in DS3 by swapping one of my armor pieces with another after getting a covenant item.
It seems to reset an invisible timer is my best guess. Doing this allowed me to farm the covenant items several hours faster in my experience.
@@MacAttackPlaysword of advice; put aside your pride and fear and just participate in pvp early. It’ll make farming covenant far easier and save you a lot of trouble. Ds2 had pve methods that were doable, ds3’s on the other hand are merely painful.
@@MacAttackPlays DS2 was worst because for me as I had DS3 online items from PvP but I have original DS2 where PvP almost doesn't exist
33 hours to get platinum?! My very first playthrough took 72 hours and I didn't even get close to completing trophies ._.
I tip my hat to you sir!
I got the plat in 39 hours and people were so shocked and didn’t believe me so seeing him doing it in 33 makes me feel better
I mean, most people aren't following a guide the whole way.
Took me months with all dlc
my first playthrough is still going and its over 100 hours
@@dranythyeah no kidding
Bro im not even kidding im watching you go through the souls games I swear u are so entertaining I’ve actually been waiting for this video
I love how he gets mad on the fume Knight part before going to frigid outskirts
Im playing DS2 currently, and am actually really enjoying it
The purser is going to have a controller in my TV
@@michaeldagnonbro Pursuer is so easy. Has like 2-3 attack patterns. Each pattern like 2-3 swings that are easily dodged even at 3 ADP. The only tricky attack is when he launches Dark orbs. But that's easily avoided by running behind him. He tries to track you but just keep trying to get behind him and you will
@@michaeldagnonjust use the big crossbow things lol
For a while I had Bloodborne, Demon's Souls and Elden Ring's platinums but some time around Summer last year in one of my 827382th playthroughs of DSI I got motivated to get the plat and then there was no turning back, I platinumed DSII, DSIII and Sekiro back to back after that and it was PAINFUL.
And yes I farmed everything offline and I can guarantee that DSII's offline farming doesn't even come close to DSIII's... I have literal nightmares every time I see Anor Londo.
Congrats on the plat though! 👏🏻
this made me want to go back to this game, thanks man, awesome achievement!
Good luck if you go back to it! 💪
Damn your videos are so good; incredible quality! You deserve waaaay more subs! Keep going man 👍👍
Thank you 🙏
really enjoying your videos man - great work and keep it up! Wanna see you plat all the Soulsbourne !!
Love your videos! All of your edits are really good and got me rollin sometimes lol. Ive recently gone through the dark souls trilogy again and am currently working on my DS3 platinum, I hope we get to see yours soon too and hopefully Bloodborne as well!
Thanks, this means a lot! Bloodborne video will drop this week :)
This is the most positive vid about ds 2 from newcomer. Congrats on plat. Love this game
Wow, thanks!
I have platinum in every single Souls game. Demons-Elden Ring and honestly DS2 wasn’t too too bad to platinum. The game itself is frustrating nature but I had the worst time with DS3. I’m a PvE mainly player so I had to farm the covenant items and omg some of the worst grinding I’ve ever done. Congrats on getting the platinum on this 😊
Wow, thanks!
Ds2 isn’t frustrating at all. It’s the only game in the series that wholly rewards skill and thinking. The other games are just mindless and sometimes even just button spammers like ds3
@@zzodysseuszz I remember struggling with dark souls 2 when I was younger, fresh from dark souls. Replayed it recently, and the only frustrating thing is the hit boxes are sometimes wild. But looking back on it, I think it was just so different from the original that I would have, at that time argued about how frustrating it was, how bad it was, how it just didn't deserve a spot in the glorious franchise dark souls. But my opinion has changed since then. Now I like to phrase it, "Dark Souls 2 is a game that is not a sequel, but rather its own game. The fact that it has been restricted to being a part of the Souls series is a crime. It is a good game. I just wish that its lore made more sense."
@@zzodysseuszz Lmao nice joke. There's NOTHING skillful about DS2 at all. Not a single individual enemy or boss is tough to fight on their own. The game's main idea of a challenge is having you fight 10 or more enemies at once in a small confined space area knowing their attacks can easily clip through each other, or randomly killing you off with cheap gimmicky traps that no one will see coming on a first playthrough.
It doesn't have a well thought out area like Sen's Fortress, Anor Londo or well thought out bosses like O&S, Knight Artorias, Pontiff, Twin Princes, Gael, Ludwig, Orphan, Lady Maria.
It's not a challenging Souls game. It's more like a frustrating and tedious Souls-like that only pretends to be. Sorry, but claiming DS2 to be the most skill rewarding Souls game is quite literally the most laughable thing anyone can say about it in all honesty lol.
@@zzodysseuszz if there's a ds2 video or any dark souls video at all you're always there and your horrible takes too
Man i just love this kind of video, is an idea that i have never seen before, this is amazing! Keep up the good work! Your very good at this.
The secret to platinum a soul like game is passion
I've never seen anyone beat the chariot like that lol
Also - Fume Knight pain is real. I still get nervous on that fight. It's brutal. That it only took you 33 hours is actually kind of astounding. DS2, if you play all of the xoacs, is insanely long. Not ER long, but as far as Souls games go, it's by far the longest. I'm guessing this was the original version of DS 2 and not the Scholar of Sins version? Though I may be wrong. Either way, great job! Love DS2. It always gets shit on but it's a lot of fun.
Thanks! yeah this was Scholar of first sin and it was overall really fun
@@MacAttackPlays Hmmm weird that you had SotFS and did not meet Alva at the end after Nashandra, you skipped through Ivory knight (best boss in DS2 imo) and missed Sinh (best dragon fight of all FS)
@@lucaskeromnes4029You mean Aldia?
@@lucaskeromnes4029 Aldia appears if you choose not claiming the throne.
I almost went Hollow when I found out that I have to defeat Sir Alone jus to get that last fire stick thing in order to get all the Pyromancies. That boss run was disgusting lol
I took the easy way out and just farmed the npcs until they wouldnt spawn anymore 🤣
You just got yourself a new subscriber , great content brother keep it up ❤
Appreciate it!
The way you killed the horse riding boss, like whaaat 😂 didnt even know you could do that... little hint, there is a lever that drops the gate and causes the horse to smash it and is being stopped so you can meele fight it 😂
i started watching your content and im so in love with your platinum videos and i've watched them all so far and i just wanna say you're different than any other youtuber and your content is so addicting. The first video i watched was the DS1 platinum and i was watching it while going for the DS2 platinum myself and i loved that video so much. i just saw you uploaded the DS2 platinum and i can't explain how happy i was and how big of a smile i had on my face because there wasn't any video like this. i haven't watched it yet but i will do and im sure ill love it and it will be my favorite! i hope you remember me when you become one of the best youtubers because you have potential and i love your videos so much. much love to you and thank you for entertaining me !
This is one of the most meaningful comments I've ever recived. I'm glad you enjoy and I will keep pushing to make great videos :)
@@MacAttackPlays im so glad it was!! hopefully that made your day better and im so honoured
Alll your platinum videos are so entertaining I’m excited for the dark souls 3 platinum video! Don’t stop the content grind! ❤
I'm glad you enjoy!
Those DS2 invaders who acided your armor were funny.
btw for sunlight medal farming, i reccomend to do it in the shaded woods (way more chill to farm there). take the bonfire to ng+7, so you get the highest drop rate, and make sure you have the highest fortune on your character. i did it this way and managed to farm 30 of them in almost 2 hours
Loving your content man. Great quality stuff! Keep it up!
thank you! glad you enjoy
I currently set aside this platinum and I’m absolutely dreading the day I finally finish it.
I loved Majula and the music there. Not my favorite souls game but I enjoyed it for what it was
Bro, just found your channel and it's great! Keep up the great work 🤘
wow dude 33 hours that’s actually insane
Exactly what I was saying. It would take me over a hundred to platinum that game. I've probably got a few hundred hours in DS 2 already without a platinum
Nah he just rushed through the game, and this is likely not his first playthrough
I have to say man i’m loving these videos you’re gonna blow up in no time!
thanks a lot :)
@@MacAttackPlays If you ever decide to platinum apex legends let me know I can aid you
THATS CRAZYYYYY I still have that character I was also going for my plat at the time and farming sunlight medals
Yooo my friend!
Ay man welcome to the ever growing and very great trophy hunter community on TH-cam! Can’t watch to watch more of these plat videos, keep up the great work fam
thanks a lot :)
I've honestly never understood all the hate for this game, it's fun as hell and the dlc is great. I earned the platinum trophy twice, on the original and on scholar of the first sin, and I'm currently playing through on the Xbox series x working on getting all the achievements lol.
Dedicated 💪
I've never seen somebody beat the chariot like that, very interesting way and unique animation
same. Now I wanna kill him the same way wtf
Nice dude I didn't know people didn't like this one. Good luck getting the platinum trophy on the third one and the dlcs
Thanks! can't wait for DS3.
There isn’t any dlc trophies unfortunately
I think
@@PopCultureSquare actually they have the dlcs if you have buy the bundle collection
@@renerivera9715 dlc trophies
This kinda inspired me to get back to the grind
you and nick ar are the most underrated youtubers. keep up the great videos
Man this trophy took foreverrrrr. It is not the most hated, it’s a great game.
I would like to say “I could platinum this for fun”.
But then I remember the Sunlight farm.
Like seriously.
Thankfully Elden Ring, Sekiro and Bloodborne have platinums trophies that are simple and plain fun.
While DS trilogy and Demon’s PS3 have those damn dumb farms!
Pure Bladestone is PTSD fuel!
Pure bladestone farm was pure pain…
I really enjoyed this game and still one of my best platinum achievement to date ❤
Top video. Absolute banger with the edits found it funny. Keep it up boss.
thanks man!
@@MacAttackPlays ❤️❤️
Goes into the looking glass knight fight with 2 summons, then calls it unfair when the boss uses a summon lmao
Wild
I platinumed this game back on PS3. It was amazing. I love this game
Absolutely loved this game. I was even a bit sad after getting platinum. I think ds2 platinum was the most enjoyable out of the 3 imo
I agree with that tbh
love your videoss!! so entertaining tbh
just discovered your channel and i’m really enjoying all your videos!! very entertaining and high quality + loving the „trying to platinum …“ format a lot :))
thanks! I'm glad you enjoy :)
Great video but I think the fume knight runback isn't an issue, the bonfire is next to the arena
Right? I was also confused on how the run back was bad 😂
for the chariot you can close the gate so it crashes and you fight the horse
My favorite of the trilogy. I also got the plat for this first. I got the medals through coop so it was actually pretty fun helping a bunch of new players. I know it would had been more fast just farming them but it would had also been mind numbing boring.
dark souls 2 was my first souls game and i love it
i like how you can pick your own route, the amount of bosses and the way you can get op at the very beginning
of course the map makes no sense
but who cares
its a great game
It was very fun to playthrough
I never understood the hate it recieves. Especially with the DLC included. It is my favorite DS game!
@@christopherdunn3094 😂😂😂
@@LittleCaesars777 Go eat yourself before you talk to me, my boy
@@christopherdunn3094 I like ds2 too but it's very obvious why people hate it
Enjoyed the vids, just found your channel
I'm working on getting the platinum in DS2 right now. All I have left to get are the all miracles and all pyromancies trophies and I'll have it. The only obstacle I have to overcome still is Sir Alonne. After him, it'll just be a bit of grinding and I'll be good. Should be able to do it. I really like the game. It's not that hard once you figure the combat out. Especially since enemies will stop spawning after a few kills.
Crazy how far the channel has come in such short time I can’t wait for the bloodborne video this one was 🔥
The support has been insane! super grateful.
I'm currently on a road to platinum all soulslike games (already done with ds1/2/3 and sekiro and man is it fun. even a game like ds2 became slightly more interesting to me
congrats on all the plats! and yeah ds2 was actually enjoyable

“He’s not playing fair”
It’s coming from someone who ganging the boss with 2 friends
You are the first I see platinum ds1 and 2
how you only got 60k views? this video is so good, damn bro keep up the good work!!!
appreciate it!
"he summoned freakin guts!"
I honestly would just clear out the area and then make a save state outside the fog wall because of how horrible the run backs were
4v1 “this guy is not playing fair” ahha
Bro you made me wanna platinum the whole dark souls I hope you do dark souls 3
that’s gonna be after bloodborne, if you go for the plats good luck 💪
I'm lucky. My 1st souls game was DS2. So it is my favorite. I, of course, LOVE all the other souls games.
Dark Souls 2 platinum was fun. Dark Souls 3 platinum was horrible.
But Bloodborne platinum is still the most fun game to get platinum in (hence, I have four platinum trophies for BB).
Let just sink in this guy went into NG +2 while still rocking equipment/weapons from NG, when all enemies in NG+ now have mini boss HP pools, that alone deserves plus.
I only platinumed DS1 and DS3. I couldn’t do DS2 especially not the SotFS and it only took you 33 hours. Pretty good 👍
Maybe i'm biased because this was my first souls game, but i just love it so much, i enjoyed it thoroughly.
I loved everything besides the enemy spams lol
@@MacAttackPlays yeah, i won't defend that shit
it took me 44 hours to get the platinum. apart from a couple of hours farming sunlight medals, i enjoyed that so much.
1:00 reminded me of Dross in Dark souls 3 LOLOL
Bro got the platine in 33 hours, i only got 11 achievements on xbox 360 on that time 💀
I have a question for this plat, how you did this on 33 hrs? Is kinda seems impossible because you played it on ng+3
What’s impossible about ng+3?
@@MacAttackPlays no I’m general getting this platinum on 33 hrs seems impossible
@@Ss67we if you have no life anything is possible 🫡
@@Ss67weI got it in 39 so 33 is not too bad if u know what you’re doing
@@alyfarid5202 I played it for 80 hours and did not get any collectibles trophy ( I didn’t went for the platinum , maybe I do in the future )
Lol killing the Chariot with poison instead of just pulling the lever 😂
Fellers were just trying to engage in some funny PVP in DS2.
Mhm
Well done. I do like DS2 a lot but wouldn't have the patience to get the platinum
Thanks! and it can definitely be done pretty fast unlike DS3.
In my memory this had at least ps4 graphics :o.
DS2 was my first Dark Souls and i loved it. I'd really like to go back to get platinum. The Covenant trophies seem like a chore though
Amazing video cant wait for the rest, will you be completing the dlc for bloodborne and darksouls 3 aswell I haven’t played bloodborne’s dlc but the ds3 ones are amazing with great bosses especially the ringed city
glad you enjoyed! I will be completing bloodborne and the DLC since it has trophies. Not sure about DS3 DLC tho.
@@MacAttackPlays i looked at the trophy’s but I didint see any for ds3 but I would recommend you played them since the dlc has some of the best bosses in the series
For anyone fighting fume knight you can kill those giants that spawn in between the bonfire and door and they are perma death so the run up will be easy. You don’t have to kill the one that spawns far back because you can outrun him :)
W comment!
Why do you not have a million subs, you deserve that
Did you not unlock the bonfire next to fume knight? It makes it so there's basically no run back
Okay that’s it, I’m gonna beat this platinum’s game too. Thanks for the motivation
🙌
youre gonna make it big, i feel it
I appreciate it!
Underrated channel
I "recently" also did it. I failed a few years ago so a reran it and blasted strait thru it no online obvi
Dark souls 2 is my favorite game it’s the best game in the series The nostalgia and memorabilia is unlike any other souls My favorite bosses are the Skeleton lords Amazing content hard work Well deserved
I subscribed Mac amazing content!
I surprisingly really enjoyed this game, and thanks!
You’ll never forget it once your done with all the soulsbourne you’ll take a sigh in relief and never went to go back to them except for 2 honestly I still think about returning But it’s just to much for me Getting the platinums was an accomplishment I was extremely proud of to say the least that we beat one of the hardest games in the world.
You gotta be joking.Skeleton lords?????????
R u joking this game is 6/10 at best
While I'm not fond of DS2, I do have to give it credit in that it took way less farming to 100% than DS1 and DS3. DS1 rare weapon farming took a long time and DS3 made it significantly more time consuming with farming up those covenant items
bro this guy is so underrated his videos are so good
I appreciate it!
The only trophies that annoyed me was grinding to get every magic spell by maxing out covenant ranks lol.
I'm working towards the ds2 platinum as we speak. I've finished my first playthrough and am just checking to make sure I haven't missed anything before I begin NG+. I just discovered that the dlc is required. Not happy!!
Good luck! 💪
Are you going to try platting Sekiro and Bloodborne next? Would love to see a plat run for both. Keep up the great content my dude
That's the plan!
With all dlc took me months of pain good stuff
Another banger! Keep it up boss!
Plat took me about 3 times as long, but I agree, great game. Came ip with a method to skip 3M farm to get last spells because i didn’t want to farm.
I’m playing DS1 now I can’t wait to get to 2&3
Have fun!
I miss only the spells for online PVP, which can be bought in NG++. I didn't even have to farm sunlight medals since i had a friend join me in co-op. It wasnt as hard as It seemed, and it was Still Fun Journey. Third souls-game platinum, here i go!
Platinum is just the beginning. The real challenge is doing a SL1 CoC run, a No Death run and a No Bonfire run
I can't believe this is your first time playing, damn you're good at this
dark souls was a lot harder for me, i surprisingly breezed through 2. i've been tracking my deaths and ds: remastered was 213, ds2 was 102.
9:58 this hole kills like every ds2 player 💀
Wait a minute...how do u went to Drangleic before light Sinner's and Old Iron King bonfires?
Farmed the rotten with bonfire ascetics to reach 1MIL soul memory.
and it took me 100 hourse to just beat the game. nice job bro
This was my first souls game so I’ll always love it, and it was the first souls game I ever got a platinum on
