What I like about Dark souls 2 is that the game gives a lot of freedom to do stupid stuff, there is a Ring that makes your bare hands do damage like a regular weapon, so bare hands becomes viable, there is a infusion called mundane that makes joke weapons like the ladle or broken sword viable, and there is a ring for beating the game without dying, and a ring for beating the game without resting at bonfires, so if you want to do a challenge run there is more incentive than just the challenge of doing it.
The vanquishes seal is a ring that adds 200 AR to fists and gives your fists a B scaling in strength and C in dexterity. It also unlocks the ability to powerstance fists while the ring is worn. What I like about ds2 is just the sheer amount of player freedom and variety in choices on what you want to do. This along with bonfire ascetics and an original ng+ gives it easily the most replay value
@@zzodysseuszz yeah, I remember when I wanted to powerstance the Crypt black sword, I just burned a ascetic on the rotten, killed him, did it again, and traded the souls, bonfire ascetics make things more simple
@@mykelmellen2378 you get after the credits, to get the rings you can't die/rest on a bonfire from the start of the NG cycle till the credits sequence, so you can beat the game normally, and do a challenge run on NG+ for example Also the no resting on Bonfire don't apply to primordial ones, and you can light a bonfire to change where the wayward bone teleports you.
That tier list at 1:42 has Lud and Zallen appropriately placed in the great Tier. I would really encourage anyone, who has not fought them to check them out. The area they are in is also really fun. It's called the Frigid Outskirts.
The Frigid Outskirts is one of the best areas in all of the Souls games. Unfortunately it is hidden in a DLC. Everyone reading this should definitely check it out.
omg no way, dude i love your vids and the shit you do is hilarious. it’s even better because we have like the same sense of humor and approach to souls games. one of the best on yt rn ❤️
I'm glad I'm seeing so many videos about Dark Souls 2 coming out. Dark Souls 2 is my favorite and will forever be my favorite for its dreamlike appearance and fantastic lore
I've always thought of it this way. Especially the nonsense world layout really makes it dream-like or even delirious. We've all had dreams where day turns to night in seconds, and we end up in a completely different and disjointed environment after just walking through a doorway.
@@rohitchaoji Yeah, I feel like if you look at it in a sense like that, for example the infamous Iron Keep transition while obviously being made because the team was rushed, it actually adds weight to the game for me. I've never seen a game be so accidentally metaphorical and I love it and there are many other occurrences like this and a wide variety of areas. Additionally the main theme of all the souls games is losing your memories, humanity, and life. DS2 layout makes you feel like you're losing you're mind a bit almost like a dream. The game is so godly in this sense that I can't help but love it
About Earthen Peak and Iron Keep - there's a giant volcano on the far side of the first one. And the fight with Mytha happens in a room carved into it, so when you ride the elevator - you go up the volcano, where Iron Keep is situated (at least, that's how it is from the lore perspective, but of course the locations in-game aren't really placed in their right geographic order). But yeah, there is definitely some problems with details here and there, that just looks bizarre. Just wanted to mention it because many players overlook the presence of a gigantic mountain beyond Earthen Peak.
Not as much of a pain in the ass as the other games. Ds1 has a boatload of problems and bad game design but I reckon ds3 is worse bc of just the input delay. Absolute pain in the ass to play with.
I don’t know what is up with the recent influx of awesome small channels like these making banger soul videos with hilarious editing but I am all in for it!!!🤣❤️❤️
Maybe people want to play Elden Ring but feel like they need to play the other souls games first. That's my reasoning anyway. I had only played DS1 until recently but I own them all now and am going through them chronologically.
Dark Souls 2 is my favorite souls game. Outside of Elden Ring, but when you say that you hear a bunch of people going "RADA RADA RADA bad map RADA RADA a mimic ate me from behind".
I like DS 2 (scholar of the first sin) too. It was my first Dark Souls game. I play this game in 2022 and still was amazing how good the game looks, music is great, and some levels looks amazing. As a big fan of FromSoftware games, I can say this game deserves second change.
Literally every boss is easy or bad apart from a couple in the dlc, they move so slowly and attack so slow as long as you level adp your fine, 13 s in a game this slow you should never be hit Edit, I love ds2 this isn't a rip on it, but you have to admit it's flaws
@@Daeyaenot true. None of them are bad, it’s worst bosses are literally just boring. Not bad. Stop conflating the two. Also adp is useless, 99 adp gives you 16 frames for a dodge. That’s so low the human brain literally can’t detect that difference.
@zzodysseuszz royal rat vanguard and authority are both bad bosses. Twin dragon riders are literally 2 dragonriders, not as bad as godskin duo but still bad. There's a few, but I agree most are, basic would be a better word. Adp isn't "useless" 32 adp is 13 s which is a ds3 light/med roll. Early game you want at least 9 adp as its scaling from 1 to 9 is ridiculous. Then try to get to 20 for mid game and 32 for late. The game gives you free souls with bonfire aethetics anyway so it's not like it's hard to get to level 140+ anyway by late game without the dlc. Yes adp is useless if you go past 32, but everything has a soft and hard cap.
@@Daeyae hi, hardcore ds2 player here (more than 2k hours and over 30 characters made, finished the game with). If you’re spending anymore than 9 points on adp you’re wasting points on your build. Anything more than 9 is irrelevant. The traveler starting class has 9 exactly for that reason, so you don’t need to level u adp with that starting class. Sure, your frame data is correct but suggesting 32 points on adp is beyond preposterous my friend.
aw, I watched your previous video and subbed hoping for a full playthrough and all we get is 9 mins damn dude, glad you like DS2 though, 9/10 game, controls are kinda wonky
THANK YOU !!!!! For being a fan of DS2 who actually acknowledges its flaws but likes it regardless it's so damn refreshing to not hear someone talk around it's problems for 1HR
Dark souls 2 remake, with revamped bosses, more emerald herald lines, and demon souls graphics would make it the best game. It had the advernturey feel elden ring has, just not open world and the sunken and ivory king dlcs further that
I don't get the hatred of Dark Souls 2. I platinumed it, enjoyed the world, the cast was comfy, it was fun vacationing there for four months before playing Demon's Souls for ps3. Elana is still my bane more than Fume knight but it was a fun struggle for me.

Nice edits, nice commentary, nice explanation of things. The only criticism (again) is the mic quality when you're recording, but other than that great video man keep it up
DS2 was the first Souls game I ever played and I enjoyed it for the most part. Maybe that’s because I didn’t know any better. I have now played all of them but only beaten 2 of them (Bloodborne and Elden Ring) and I can say it’s definitely towards the bottom as far as quality goes.
No joke this channel is just pure gold at the moment! No ads, no hour-long intro. Just a dude enjoying Dark Souls. I love this boy and his channel a little more every day. 🫶 BTW Buddy we need a DLC Video.
im really glad you found the beauty in this game as well. oh darn almost forgot to tell ya brother, that theres still a small but passionate community of pvp players in dark souks 2, and they even help new players trying to get into the game, its lagit kinda heartwarming
I like all the souls game, each different but challenging in their own ways. You want to be strong, farm your way to the boss of any area until nobody stand between him/her/it and you, enemies stop respawning after awhile so you get to the boss fully equipped and of course you can upgrade yourself with tons of souls to spend before the fight.
Cry all you want DS2 haters but Dark Souls 2 is a Game😎😎👍

It is without a doubt a game for the game consoles
It is one of the games, imo not a good one, but one of the games
