this run is actually the optimal, best build and run for this game. why? because the low damage means that you get to play dark souls 2 for longer
Yes.
Every single time Lenny does that dumb "ehbehebebeb" noise it makes me laugh and it never gets old
it gets funnier the 29th time
@@ZeroLenny
Could you possibly do a ehbebebe compilation?
@@ZeroLenny I personally prefer the 31st "ehbehebebeb"
Sounds like Lenny's rendition of Beavis's boingioingiongiong
He got me at "Is that Gwyn? No flippin way. ebebebebe. Hilarious.
33:51 me when people comment "WELL ACTUALLY THE LADLE IS THE WORST WEAPON IN THE GAME???"
yes
ladle is the worst because of shit durablility if I recall. and durability in Ds2 was like a *real* issue unlike the other games. repair power was fucking hard to come by

Its actually vital to this run to die exactly 5 times in Shrine of Amana as your broken mental actually gives the broken sword a +50 damage buff. Weird that Lenny didn't include that in the video but I hope this helps.
did include this because I thought the RNG manip would go over peoples heads but wow... nice one yeah this is true
@@ZeroLenny yeah its tricky the first time but I found letting my goldfish work the controller is a viable strat
Shrine of Amana isn't as bad as it is.
Its a proof point of the challenge instead of the enemies or boss, of the environment itself in position and trait. It becomes a puzzle in an out of itself, i noticed something that i think might make me one or if not the only one to wonder this but is to see this game in particular, more as a silver knight for a heroic quest, but like an intrepid, and curious thinker adventurer.
If possible to further prove my point, as well as to provide an esse of stress for anyone, would gladly share my advices to this area, cause it's really not as bad as people think.
Also there's those two Amana priestess who don't harm you and I super care for them as well.. It's very late now. So I'm sorry for my manners, if they looked meanie
Lenny is showing us how to beat the best game of all time with the strongest weapon how cool
You mean The only weapon
A true lad
Eternal Ring is the best game ever actually. Eternal Ring ohhhhhh Eternal Ring.
thats backwards like your name
This but the first is unironic
how to broken sword = have a lil extra patience than usual dark souls players
This is essentially it! Rather than thinking "oh no I don't do good damage!" Just think "okay, I just have to survive 3x longer than usual and it'll get the kill!"
@@ZeroLenny exactly. but truth told, once you start broken swording and actually beat the game, you'll have memorized the bosses so much that doing it with any other weapon will just seem *easy*
Tbf on ds2 BSS does a decent raw damage while costing basically nothin
Imagine not mashing the attack button in a sweat-glazed fervour hoping that your will to haste seeps into the screen and pulls off the attack just a little faster.
There’s no “minus multiplier” on the broken sword. Its to do with the fact that DS1 has a very aggressive defense formula for all low damage weapons, because there is no percent component.
Subscribing to ZeroLenny was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Then again, one time I tried to beat Dark Souls II with a broken sword, so I guess I don't make a lot of very good decisions.
We all know the only reason Aslatiel calls himself that is because Sharron isn't from Mirrah.
Edit: I fully believe that the unskippable credits fully summarize the Ds2 experience. Also, I might try this one out.
12:44 this is dark souls 2 In a nutshell
I also want to add that I do I unironically love playing DS2 but still find all of its flaws hilarious
You know it's a great souls game when even the broken sword can be viable
When I did an Sl1 run of DS2 the broken sword was one of my main weapons as it was one of the few weapons you could one hand, so I used it for places like the gutter where having a torch is nice. It was honestly surprusing how decent a weapon it was
I'm pretty sure using the broken thief sword would be more difficult than a broken sword. It's just SO BAD.
This is the only souls game I haven’t beaten with a broken sword, my heart has just feared the insurmountable challenge of ds2, until now, thanks Lenny for giving me the courage to take on this challenge
Man did you seriously skip the challenge in the only game where broken sword isn’t a joke weapon
@@SalvageET that was my first thought 💀
For me it was the opposite. It is tge only game i have beaten with a broken sword. Just can't be arsed with 3 or 1. Takes too long.
@@SalvageET ngl I thought my sarcasm was kinda obvious but my bad, I just haven’t gotten around to ds2 yet
@@capperbuns Me sitting here after it took 61 attempts to broken sword the dancer on ds3 😳
I love how much this is taking the piss while still being a completely viable guide.
except he missed a lot of details and bosses.
@@Ghorda9 "Hit it until it dies" would get repetitive.
@@theatomiclemon1 he missed flynn's ring, ring of blades and raw infusion.
@@Ghorda9 ok dude 33:51
@@Ghorda9 He literally wears both rings and he didn't infuse the sword because it has better strength scaling this way and he has 66 STR. Did you even watch the video?
I recently did a run of DS2 to get all the boss weapons, and tbh it was really fun, this game had some genuinely neat ideas. It’s jank af, but still super fun
Dark souls 1 was jank af too but everyone only remembers the good because it was their first experience.
@@QuantumTelephone Demon Souls was the first experience
@@NonisLuck not for most people
@@NonisLuck imagine thinking demons souls was most people's first experience.
Tbh every Soulsborne game is Jank as hell, except for Sekiro.
I haven't played Elden Ring yet so I can't judge it (pls no bulli)
Silly runs like this makes me miss DS2. The fact that you can do pretty damn well with, well, basically everything in the game hasn't really been replicated properly since. DS3 and ER have so many spells and weapons that are straight up garbage and feel like said garbage to use. I just wish future games had taken all the focus on PVP balance the final iteration of 2 strived for so that we didn't have the absolute garbage PVP ER (and to a lesser extent DS3 and Bloodborne) have.
I remember beating DS2 without killing that merchant at the start at any point, then seeing a lot of people taking his clothes. I didn't really understand why until this video.
Yeah DS2 had a lot of armor benefits that allowed you to run strange builds. For example, the Work Hook weapon add dex but reduce adp.
i farmed the set from tseldora spiders :p
Don't midmax/guide run any game on you're first playthrough just because tryhards on the internet does so, enjoying you're own mistakes and overcome you're own personal challenges
Wow the Vaati impression was honestly really good
Finally, Big Lenny is showing us the true way to play Dark Souls 2
I actually tried that quit out method you tried in Iron Keep just last week. It really solidified that DS2 is unlike any other souls game lol.
I love Dark Souls 2 unironically! Fucking sue me
Well they will have to sue my ass as well. Its a great game, sure its a bit iffy at times but it's a hardcore rpg that is out to destroy you
“Sued for having good taste”
The firekeeper swinging her feet at 4:13 is to cute
The credits were so good that I had to replay it twice.
I would love to see this guide actually written somewhere for newcomers so some guy can make a shitty video about it in the future.
Pd: love your videos man
Dark Souls 2 has its problems, but it’s still such a fun game.
If From had fixed the wonky hitboxes and some of the enemy pathing on the Scholar of the First Sin edition, it would’ve been one of their best games, in my opinion.
Yeah but there all their best games
Maybe overhaul the clunky combat and movement completely as well. Maybe rework the level design a tiny bit (completely). Maybe also maybe a little bit surely just a little bit get a 10th of the atmosphere the other games have.
Oh and maybe just maybe, design enemies that fit in the Dark Souls universe instead of some western high fantasy game.
The DLCs gave it a good try at least.
DS2 doesn't even have bad "hitboxes." I'd argue they're better in DS2 than in Elden Ring tbh. The amount of getting hit by attacks that missed you in Elden Ring is outrageous.
Most of what can be attributed to "bad hitboxes" in DS2 is usually because of the shitty ADP stat.
The hitzones for the enemies are fine; it's your dodge that's the issue in DS2.
@@robbiirvine1038 Did you not see the video?
@@robbiirvine1038 my guy DS2s hitboxes are like freight trains disguised as twigs
He's right. Not only can it be upgraded, it's super fast so you can get multiple hits out in rapid succession.
There's so much wasted space in the credits that they could have both been played on each side of the screen to save time
One of the best parts of Dark souls 2 is that literally every build is viable.
Although caster builds of all kinds are gonna have a rougher time in the dlc areas because every enemy has artificial high magic/ lightning etc resistances
@@Jormyyy yeah... Never liked that in the dlcs.
@@Jormyyy unironically good
The best part of the game is that you can turn it off and never play it. Dark souls 2 is just that awful.
@@LordFartwad-gq2se me (elden ring fan) when I see a game with creativity that takes risk (i just want to learn exhausting dodge hits for every boss for 80 hours once every 3 months)
You know the level of madness you display in this video is actually pretty reassuring because it makes me feel like it's intrinsic to Souls games and not a personal problem
The most important part of this video was learning exactly HOW THICC old iron King's dumpy is
Make an entire prepare to cry episode with your vaati impression about robot lenny
Who knew adding "A-bibibi" and the end of a sentence is the pinnacle of humor.
@te_leegrammezerolinny We already have a zerolinny at home :(
Genuine question Lenny, why do you never use the torch during the Freja fight so the spiders don't attack?
It actually sets up some pretty important rng manipulation later in the run
Instructions unclear, recommended Dark Souls II on Steam.
I had a similar experience with my ladle only run, eventually it just became a normal playthrough with a really, really fragile hammer.
I don't want to sound cringe, but your videos really help me when I feel shitty like I have been lately. Thanks man, you're amazing!
You know DS2 is the best souls game when the only critique people can come up with is stuff like "why smelter demon ass??" and "MIMIC KILLED ME WHEN I ATTACKED IT??"
the warrior starting with the broken straight sword instantly makes it the best starting class
This is the Lenny instructional video we've all been waiting for!
All these DS2 runs I did and seen and I never thought I needed to see the Iron King's ass crack.
What’s the minimum time we have to cheat engine look at the old iron kings ass for the speedrun to be valid?
This is one of the best Series on yt
No joke I could sit through all the credits cuz music is just that good
I swear this man is getting more unhinged in every vid he makes.
Lenny I can only get halfway through your videos before I watch something else.
Because I treasure the content till the next vid.
Gwynevere's big chest in DS1 had to be balanced by giving the Old Iron King a dump truck ass
Been watching your old spicy mod VODs. Epic shit Lenny!
I broken sworded dark souls 2 a long time ago. It was ez af.
They gave every weapon in the game a purpose as far as I remember. Even the ladle gives you ADP, which makes it really good in your offhand for SL1. It was a pretty cool design philosophy IMO.
I loved all the "I have multiple characters so I can get up in the morning and run straight to do blank" jokes. Or are they jokes? 😳
Best Souls 2 with Best Sword 2. What more could I ask for?
(Best Sword 1 is the Straight Sword Hilt)
Love the video Lenny!
in all honesty all those videos where "can you beat elden souls with X" do not pose a question
Of course you focking can beat elden ring with a knife or a whip, whats the darn point in making videos like this
Its good to see something that is actually pointed as challenge
Lenny making silly noises while spamming block made this video for me.
I never considered doing ds2 broken sword only, but now that you've made a guide...
except it's not really a guide, it's more of a shitpost, he didn't get finns ring or ring of blades +1
@@Ghorda9 you dont need those two in order to be a guide...
@@vittocrazi with that logic you don't even need a guide because all you need is the broken straight sword.
@@Ghorda9 you know... You are right...?
Did not expect Lenny to just destroy Veldstadt like that, quit impressive considering how many times he got hammered in the original run. Guess our lad improved a lot over the years
Thanks Lenny I will use the broken sword on my parents’ divorce papers :)
Nice, thanks Lenny! Always a pleasure!
27:52 the fact that the credits have a phase 2 and can't be skipped is just brilliant
28:12 that's exaclty how i felt playing this game after playing dark souls 1, and why i didnt finish it
my goat is back
I played the dark souls 2 original and flux century New game Plus is a problem I don't know what to do about it
0:43-0:49 me but unironically
The 'Dark souls 2 is bad' joke really hit its stride at the 20 minute mark
I would love to see a speedrun video series depecting a new "Lenny%" category with all manner of "hyper critical RNG manipulation" required for submission. Create a category for each From game.
the more manly way to do this is start deprived and power stance broken swords. you start with the exact stats needed to power stance them and it uses more stamina but you get like an extra 3 or 4 damage
Bro this literally deals more damage to bosses than a casual run in Elven Bling
29:40 looks like lenny took out a leaf from IGN strategy guide's book. "Figure it out for yourself hunter"
>tfw when your broken sword breaks, so you have to go to the blacksmith to fix your broken broken sword into just a broken sword
I have been watching your videos for years and the stupid joystick spam freak out the character does still makes me wheeze
It's a classic xx
Same. The sound effects + the character wiggle or the hebebebe/ababa gag. Never not hilarious to me.
I think I'll probably do this now.
I did this challenge with DS3 and I didn't really felt motivated to do more specially with DS2 (because it's DS2)
Hey Lenny when is our Kingsfield/Shadow-Tower-Abyss Experience?
its very sad that in the mirror knight fight the broken straight sword was doing more damage than my flamberge was per hit.
8:20 couldn’t hear Lenny’s fan over my own fan because we’re still living in an oven :/
you silly goose , hitting 66 strength while 2handing in ds2 is useless, just leave it at 50
I’m literally playing ds2 more than Elden ring. It really is my fav, sorry
OUR KING HAS RETURNED! TO BATTLE BROTHERS,ARM THYSELVES WITH LIKES AND SUBS!
Ok Lenny you convinced me to start a broken sword run, i suck at these games so if I can manage it anyone could
Well I'm calling it quits for a while but I've got 3 great souls and managed to beat the Sinner and Frija on the first try. It feels pretty doable so far! 😆
@@zansumkai have you beat it after 3 months
more like Old Iron Cake DAYUM BOI
2:22 "this is actually RNG manipulation to make the door open quicker" bruh 😭
Idk why I thought you did this one already
excluding elden ring dark souls 2 is my favourite and the best
Love ya Lenny but so much misinformation and bad info in this video lol
Thank you god, im not the only one who thinks Powerstance is super overrated. It's slow, wastes more stamina, and you need 150% of STR to do it. The only use I found for it is during my fist weapons only run where the L1 + stone ring is kinda good at stunlocking lol
EDIT: Also I was not expecting to see Old Iron King's cheeks. He do be thick tho
I want to try this now. I tried to do it in DS1 but I didnt feel like farming for a broken straight sword.
Doing a naked caestus run was really fun. Not too hard but just plain fun
For an added difficulty do broken sword with 2 summons that have to stay at bonfire and on ng+8 for optimal misery
ds3 is baby mode for content creators real men play ds2 sotfs
Wait how do I get to that mimic at 18:30, after najka played this game for years is he messing with us or is that real?
There is a well nearby you have to jump into it and then just go straight forward a ladder should be there you climb up and there you go a mimic chest
Playing Dark souls 2, not as bad as people make it out to be. I love how the enemies play possum. Makes it fun for me as a sniping assassin.
My advice is this DON'T, unless you are spicy as the Lenny which is impossible
Another banging video Lenny :-))) My favourite part is 14:23
People hate on the best game for one reason and one reason alone.
They lost in the PVP ARENA to a Jester Havel with powerstanced broken swords.
Truly the most broken build in the game.
My brother in christ your videos would benefit SO MUCH of subtitles you have no idea please consider it
The prettiest princess returns!!
Steps unclear, never showed us how to hit the new game button
HES BACK MY SWEET BABY ANGEL
Kinda miss the banter between Lenny and himself
Omg its my wumbology teacher Lenny!
Always wanted to beat DS2, and always wanted to see how one does DS2. Thanks for uploading this on my birthday, big man. Stay spicy!
Don't play it. Game is shit.
Are you mad I just done my first broken sword run following this guide, took 10 hours but I did it and I haven't played DS2 in like over a year
