  • I mean, they were overpowered in Dark Souls 1, surely that trend continued, right?
    ...guys?
    The reaper run continues into Dark Souls 2 as we try to beat all the games bosses, while simultaneously eradicating the world of all NPC life. Place your bets now on whether the bosses or the NPCs were harder.
    Can you beat Dark Souls 2 with only Scythes? Time to find out.

      Sometimes even just 3000, depending on where you live.

      @@kylegrefe4399 ah, then you mean energy of impact (force is for modeling process over time, not instant things like impact). okay, that may make sense. actually, being clad in armor gives you more acceleration than drag (braking agains air), so I believe the velocity of impact could be a bit larger when armored. also, if you land on legs, then armor without exosceleton-like frame increases the impact on legs even if velocity the same. or if you land on the side, and your armor is not paddded and is not hard-framed, then the armor chunks from the other side will squish body a bit, possibly making some harm. but, armor is usually padded, which is good for energy dissipation and hard armor distributes impact over the larger region of body, decreasing impact to the each part of region. and some sets of hard-framed armor could work as exosceleton, protecting legs from the weight of armor itself. so... I think, it's maybe easier to break a limb or ribs when land on that limb when you wearing armor with heavy non-linked parts. but I really doubt that armoring increases chance of death due to fall from critical height (which is relevant to the case of dropping to majula pit).

    About getting naked reduces fall damage: I think, total weight of the character somehow (as in "I dunno the exact equation") adds to fall damage taken. Idea is something like jumping down with 40kg backpack and without it.
    Also about Ivory King DLC - the weapon durability goes down faster there by default, as far as I remember. Something about "freezing cold makes weapons brittle" or whatever

      It also bears mentioning that War Scythes never were just scythe blades attached to the handle differently. An actual scythe blade would both be too heavy and be almost guaranteed to break if you tried to use it like that.

    The damage inflicted by a weapon may be partly proportionate to your stamina and the angle from which the character attacks an enemy. I recently noticed that when going through Sir Alonne's area. A single, two-handed R2 of my club would insta-kill an enemy if my stamina was full or nearly so but would not quite insta-kill the enemy if my stamina was much lower. I noticed that with your character. It would make sense since the character has less determination and energy behind lower stamina attacks. That shows the depth of FromSoft's thinking in its combat design.

      when you attack, and the attack uses up more stamina than you have. you deal less damage

      Weapons also have "sweet spots" so if you hit them with a handle of a halberd it does less damage than if you hit them with the blade

    I made a whole grim reaper build in DS2 and learned alot about how the scythes work in the process. They have a 'shaft' hitbox and a 'blade' hitbox, the blade doing buffed damage, and the shaft doing debuffed damage. Its more consistant than it seems, but it depends on the scythe, some of them have much smaller 'blade' hitboxes than others, but its all about getting familiar with your scythe of chocie and learning the proper spacing for its blade to hit more often than its shaft.

  • @theodoredexter6540

    I always like these kinds of challenge runs, where its not some struggle to see if its even possible to do it (I still enjoy those) but where its just playing the game a little differently and seeing what happens when you do it

There's this metroidvania soulslike i picked up a week or so ago called Last Faith that guess what, has firebombs, and actually loads of other bombs too. Would love to see if you could beat the game with those only

  • @S0renz
    @S0renz หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I know crafting is a thing in Elden Ring so I had an idea. Elden Ring with only crafted items. You may use a bow since you can craft arrows but that might let you use a high powered bow. Instead I say use the bow from your starting class and only that one.
    Best part: You can probably craft every type of fire bomb and fire bomb adjacent item under the sun.

    I remember DS2 most fondly for that weapon sweet spot mechanic. First time I managed to beat the game was with the halberd.
    If anyone reading this is playing through DS2 again anytime soon, I highly recommend doing a halberd or scythe run. It's alot of fun

  • @KalaamNozalys
    @KalaamNozalys หลายเดือนก่อน

    I just remembered one challenge I had mapped that could be fun with your penchant for mental breakdown/pick up as the runs progresses, though on a totally different game as it's an old school jrpg, so maybe not as interresting to watch...
    But an "Isaac only" Golden Sun run is bound to be absolutely insane...if you go the distance to *truly* make it "Isaac only" (not just keeping dead party members, no...I am talking absolute insanity, ending up in seeing a duplicate of yourself to cope with the solitary journey and all. And just to be clear, I had checked, you can indeed finish the run and beat the final boss this way)

  • @OneRightClick
    @OneRightClick หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    As someone who had a reaper only pvp build with sorcery enchants, usually the damage sweet spot is where the point of the reaper hits. For hitting around shields, you have to actually position yourself so the point of the reaper hits around the shield. Too close? Blocked. Too far? Hit the handle so it does no damage. Took me around 100 hours to get this down. But when you get it down, it is honestly one of the best weapons in the game in my honest opinion.
