3:28 I’m on my first playthrough of Dark Souls 2 and I’m ashamed I didn’t see that bonfire. Would’ve definitely saved me some time each time I had to get back there
I wasted hours too. You aren't alone. Eventually I did find it after an hour or two and I'm not even mad. I've been using bonfire ascetic this whole time and even though I just waste the bosses I still remember the fear and anticipation and sense of duty and that's why as a 27 yr ol dad I steal away to play these games.
Don't feel too bad, my first playthrough of this game back in 2014 I completely missed the first bonfire in Iron Keep because it's way off to the side. I thought the only bonfire in the entire area was the one in Belfry Sol 😅
Also, after you do this beat last giant and buy cat ring, drop to the gutter, kill the crystal lizard, free darknight stone, You can kill pursuer in the lost bastille for twinkling titanite too!
I decided to do this But instead of cleric i went sorcerer, and i also went and gathered 10k souls, to sell to the merchant hag That gave me serpent ring +1 for even more souls As soon as i got to heides tower, i killed all the stone knights, respawned them until they stayed dead, that gave me enough souls to get faith to 14, str to 5 because i had 3 and needed a parry sheild, and attunement to give 3 slots Before fighting the dragonrider, i went and killed the guardian dragon, got the watchdragon parma, then went to kill dragonrider Took a few trys because he wouldnt fall off the ledge, but im now a hexer
A minor bug improvement would be to get 12k and buy the branch of yore, which would automatically get you past 10k. You’ve probably already thought of it but I just wanted to say if you didn’t
Absolutely brutal trying to get Dragonrider to fall (kept yelling SINK as I rolled away), but finally got the hang of it and got it done. Ripping through the Forest like a hot knife through blood!
for those of you that dont want to kill that lady or the merchant or sacrafices the 2 souls or just dont want to sacrafice anything. then just kill the giant and then the purser then kill the dragon rider 2 times and you are good. you will have 15,000 souls left over after you level up
@@tharealchef2539 idk giant is pretty easy and pursuer too. I dont remember the last time i killed the pursuer without cheesing him with the giant crossbow.
Fetus X lol yup, verified. when i was in fofg helping as a summon, I parried him so many times, he was done for before he could recover that, and he’s stupidly easy to dodge.
You could also do a different Build with this method, Hex is just the most common. Just choose instead of Cleric for example Bandit and increase other the stats you want after you defeated the Dragonriders.
WOW I did not know I watched this 6 YEARS AGO. This was the first Souls game I played and I was struggling and I remember this helped me a lot. Now I've completed every soulsbourne game, 10x over. Also 1:51 "TGS why are you attacking him? What did he do to you? He just sells armours and he's scared and he's lonely" Literally 1 second later "COME HERE BITCH" *proceeds to beat him to death with a mace* LMAO
Why pick cleric? If you pick sorcerer you can save souls by not buying 2 extra levels. In addition to that, sorcerer starts with extra attunement points
diseaseofdeath1 Lower health and no mace probably. Base cleric stats (besides Att/Int/Fth) can carry you throw a lot of the game without dying. Sorcerer requires putting a lot of points into Str/Dex just to use a decent melee weapon.
Not only is your commentary hilarious but you were spot on 😂. I did it this morning and I died a couple times from bonfire ascetic then the damn boss wouldn’t just fall right off but did mid fight when I was almost out of health. Well worth it as I got the hex build early and am ready to tread into Drangleic🔥💪🏾🏆
thank you soooooooo muchhhh i always wanted a dark magic character but it took way too long for me to get all that stuff. but thanks to you i actuly got in jus 10 minutes
@@PoserPunx not rlly i was basically op the entire game and ng+'s. In the end all my stats were at the level to use every strength, dex, hex, miracle and spell. You can get to max lvl easily with this build.
My guide: start as cleric. Kill mauglin, equip stuff. Kill last giant, and buy branch of yore. Equip ring and kill pursuer. Grab ember and yeet barrel into the wall. Buy Uchi and 99 regular arrows. Kill dragon. Kill Dragonrider. Talk to her and get bell without fighting, level up, buy Resonant soul, Great, dark weapon, and Dark orb. Boom.
Bruh you are fucken killin it. I'm trying this after this playthrough (still too impoverished to purchase bloodborne, ds3, sekiro, and elder ring, but I still jam ds and ds2 🥲
When I killed the dragonrider I killed that other woman upstairs but she killed me the first time and then I killed her but when I teleported to the first bonefire he was gone
+None None When You kill the boss he is dead for good unless you use a bonfire ascetic to bring the game up to what is New Game+ then he will come back but with more HP
Found another way to cheese the dragon rider with out going in the room the old Knight standing by the leveler if you have a bow an more then 150 heavy arrows he will turn an guard when he’s got no health then just run in an hit it one time
Good video showing how to do this, but I disagree with some of this. First, sorcery is very useful because the Soul Arrows (all varieties) have about the same range of a normal arrow, and you can aim them a far distance with the binoculars. This has been very useful to me so far in DS2. Dark Orb does not have as much range as the Soul Arrows. That said, you're right that Cleric can survive the beginning of the game easier than Sorcerer. Since the Sorcerer's Staff is in the Forest of the Giants, I think it's a toss up whether to start as Cleric or Sorcerer. I do, again, think that Soul Arrows are important for range, and if you start as Sorcerer, you'll already have a Soul Arrow. I also think that the miracle Homeward, which the righteous "bitch" sells, is very useful for farming (among other times, of course), so I would at least buy that spell before killing her. I would also say, even after getting the Hexer's set, keep (at least) the gloves you had on from the armor merchant, as they give you 10% more souls with every kill (the most any of his set gives you).
It’s 2020 and i felt like making a new character but didn’t know what to play as then remebered this video from a few years ago. Still one of the best ds2 videos, helped me out way back when and right now. 👌
@@aquaisuseful682 Yeah, i could never get used to counting steps so i just waited for his left foot to be really close to the crease looking thing joining the arena to the bridge thing you stand on. Then i would just walk and roll and so he would lung off or near the edge so when he corrects himself he just slides off. It takes practice bro and you should have about 11 months of it by the time im replying hahah. Sorry for the late response, though late is an understatement. hope there's still some DS2 love out there.
There is actually a easier method to kill the dragon rider that was actually used in a professional speedrun. Once you enter the fog back up to it as far as you can to the left the second he heads for the thrust Dodge him and moved to behind him to where he walks off the map that direction lot less error than. If you need an example of a video doing it just let me know. PS thanks for the help I've been wondering about doing a hex build for quite a while now but always had too much trouble in the beginning you helped out a lot thanks. I'm used to melee builds
So far this is great, but on the tunnel leading to huntsman's copse right after using the rotunda lockstone there's a fogwall telling me I cannot pass?! Who is this Gandalf swine and why can't I get through?? :(
I speedran to the blood covenant to get the red sign and the first fucking bastard to summon me is someone doing this shitty build. You can invade people and troll them,you can defend yourself against invaders... But don't fucking DUEL people with this shit.
Cleric has better all around stats at the beginning though so it’s better to do it that way. Either way doesn’t matter to me though, if I’m building a sorcerer or a cleric I always level both faith and intelligence to a point to be more versatile. Besides that, the mace is a great starting weapon.
I did what you did facing the dragonrider boss but he didn't fall from the first attack i dodged it though but he didn't fall unti he turned around and just glitched or something down and died
Dark damage increases more with leveling intelligence but yeah the ring is actually really good. +5 faith comes in handy if you’re a sorcerer but still want to use elementary miracles without putting points in.

Its better to start with the sorcerer in my opinion!
Thought that too but you'll be too weak as far as health and armor go, since claric starts with high states in that area.
Why though? More attunement is nice, but really no match for the Mace and extra health
Which you don't really need at all, since you are caster. You should be using spells not melee weapon and tanking hits.
If you don't start out with deprived for a hex build then you are bad at math.
Cleric has better all around stats at the beginning though so it’s better to do it that way. Either way doesn’t matter to me though, if I’m building a sorcerer or a cleric I always level both faith and intelligence to a point to be more versatile. Besides that, the mace is a great starting weapon.

Avoid doing this if its your first time playing the game. Nothing ruins dark souls like overleveling for ur first experience.

She sells a ring that gives you more faith just to point out
Also dark damage also need faith
