I should replay sekiro one day... i never was able to beat it. Can't grind, just gotta get good.

Same Elden Ring DLC is about to take priority and suck my life away, but maybe I can get to Sekiro towards the end of the year or beginning of next year

Also after thinking about it a bit more, I think DSII tries too hard to be hard lol. But at the same time, its funny how the worst game in a series can still be significantly better than most other games. Dont tell zelda fans!

>i actually only have 1 giant soul because i used them all for soul memory and had no idea they were important

>okay ill use a bonfire ascetic and respawn the giants in the gulch and farm giants soul

>that only works in the original release. They removed it for scholar. Now the only way to farm them is to ascetic NG+ ancient dragon over and over, which isnt even a real boss, but more a cinematic test of patience

>try to fight vendrick anyway, weapon keeps breaking, only doing 1 damage



>>just go to nashandra, summon an npc, he tanks her, and i just bitterly and anticlimactically cheese her with magic without getting hit once or doing anything

Fuck it. I had fun playing this despite everything, but i gotta move on with my life lmao

heres my review!

By 2014s standards:

Dark Souls: 10/10
Dark Souls II?
-0.2 soul memory
-0.2 torch
-0.2 crossbow chests
-0.2 too many regular armored knight bosses
-0.2 that one door that led to a pitfall
-0.2 black gulch

8.8/10 for the base game

but hey the DLC was hot! +0.2

9/10

but wait theres more
-0.1 for frigid outskirts
-0.1 for giant souls

8.8/10 still

Or more simply:
Dark Souls 1 - S tier
Dark Souls 3 - A tier
Dark Souls 2 - B tier

Fromsouls i beated so far
Demons Souls
Dark Souls
Dark Souls II
Bloodborne
Dark Souls III
Sekiro
Elden Ring

Ive only got one left! Im looking forward to making that topic one day :)

Thanks everyone for helping me out with this dum gaem lol. Your advice and general fellowship helped motivate me more than youll ever know

I took a break from the frigid outskirts run, and chased down the dark chasm sidequests. I discovered this old man in the basement of Drangleic but I never knew wtf he was supposed to do until now. All three dark chasms are now done, and I just beat Darklurker after several attempts this morning.

I ran big dum strength build for Sir Alonne, but respecced back to Str/Int so I could use magic on Darklurker. Very fun fight - constantly had to spin the camera to keep an eye on both their attacks and pew pew with my soul arrows whenever i could. The only thing that sucked was using effigies to be able to enter dungeon v_V why dark souls ii, just why

So yeah according to a guide I only have 4 bosses left:

  1. Lud and Zellen
  2. Vendrick
  3. Nashandra
  4. Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin


I don't wanna google too much, but I'm guessing Nashandra isn't the true final boss or something? Do I have to trigger something to fight Aldia?

Vendrick I guess I need Giant Souls to decrease his defense. I only have 3 because I used my others like an idiot (but really i just blame the game because i needed them for soul memory), so I'm hoping I can resurrect the two below the Gulch with an Ascetic.

Yeah alolan smelter was corny with his giant whip that can reach all around him, and his annoyingly overpowered aoe thats impossible to predict, but once i went shieldless bloodborne mode and learned all his bullshit he was a chump

Frigid outskirts tho my goal was to beat every boss in the game, and ultimately every fromsouls boss, but damn. They are trying my patience lmao

If you go straight to Aava without getting the Eye of the Priestess first, she's invisible. And that's still totally winnable, but the game makes it clear you shouldn't be doing it.

Lol thats really cool actually. I went right instead of left when i first arrived, so i cleared the entire area until i ended up back at the first bonfire like wut

I love how they rewarded the exploration of that area - not relying on consumables or weapons that you won't use, but actually making it relevant narratively, thematically, and functionally for the boss fight? Wish they did it more!

Been working my way through Eleum Loyce over the weekend. Its honestly excellent. Great level design, enemy design, and Aava was a really cool boss. These DLCs get better and better as they go. It really seems like Miyazaki was busy making Bloodborne, so he tasked the B team with DS2, and they improved little by little as time went on. I had a bunch of complaints about the main game, but the DLC is redeeming this game a lot

Made it to Burnt Ivory King, and actually managed to summon a guy named Piccolo69, but we got stomped by endless respawning enemies, and afterwards he sent me a friend request and a message saying dude get the loyce knights and i was like lol aight i didnt even know, but im goin now. Come to find out now the entire area has opened up even more, and exploring it a second time is like a brand new experience. Its just great

Man Sir Alonne was HARD. Heres how it went down:

First i tried summoning two dudes to help, but i wasnt doing hardly any damage, because summoning makes the boss stronger, and also he was killing me so fast

Then i tried solo, and i learned his pattern. He has a ton of end lag after his long katana thrusts, and he always thrusts left. So dodge right, and punish

But hes also super fast, so i dont have much time to hit with my big ol knife. Tried two regular hits at first, but then i was like, wait, lets do 1 heavy hit. But then wait, screw that, im not using my shield in this fight anyway, so lets two-hand him.

Actually lets just unequip the shield, and im not using magic in this fight, so lets unequip the wand, and now i dont need my load ring, so lets reorganize my rings

Actually fuck it lets just respec completely. If i decide i need magic again, ill go back. Dropped int to 3, raised str to 60, got my agility to 105, googled his weakness which is lightning, equipped my gold pine resin

and after like ten tries i fuckin beat him

WHEWWWWW that was hard. But also really fun and rewarding. It was like constantly being in a high risk, high reward dance of giant katana vs giant meat cleaver lmao. The only thing that sucked was his attack where he grabs you with his katana, because even if you roll out of the way, it can just randomly lock on and suck you into it anyway

But yeah. Might be tied for my #1 fav boss in the game with Sinh

I like brume tower so far tho. I like blowing up the barrel dudes to kill big swarms of enemies, and i like the fat dudes who self destruct. They tricked me and got me stuck in a corner and completely FUCKED me lmao. Its nice when the gameplay gets mixed up like that

But also smelter demon again? Really? Dont worry guyz its the alolan form so its blue now

Finally got him tonight! Took all my estus flasks and THREE weapons breaking, but i barely did it

And mannn, maybe its just dark souls iis lack of boss variety, but i really think sinh might be my favorite Fromsouls dragon fight. The way he just stays mobile both in the air and on the ground the entire battle, knocking over pillars, knocking down stalactites, charging in from the sky, etc. I perfectly rolled past so many fireballs, fire beams, tail swipes, etc in the last second, it just FELT GOOD

Very dynamic and satisfying fight. My favorite DSII boss so far, and probably at least top 3 dragons along with Placidusax and Nameless King

Taking on DLC #2 now continuing from the iron keep

No joke i got off the couch, got a chair from the dining room, sat it directly in front of the tv, and was like aight fuck this

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/082e1c06.jpg

Optimized my route to the boss, equipped every healing consumable i had, summoned two npcs, and managed to get everyone there to take on the three gankers. My original strat was to focus on the archer first, but my bros were getting killed too quick, so i worked with them kiting the enemies between us and backstabbing when possible

My weapon started to break mid fight (i guess from destroying so many petrification statues on the way to the boss) so there i was again running around and fumbling through my inventory to get a repair powde

But man eventually we got them with zero flasks to go

Hell yeah
