Black Gulch. So many statues. It's such a small area but you have to crawl through just to be safe. Can't even sprint through, bunch of worms pop out to say hi.
I sprinted through it and killed the Rotten first try, idk what you guys are complaining about

Oh shit. Yeah fuck Amana pre patch. Pure melee was fucking agonizing.

Yep, I was running a melee build and it was fucking awful.

Blighttown is fine, if only because you can clear the area by making a beeline for Qualog and skipping everything else. Tomb of the Giants sux bc of the darkness gimmick.

The master key makes it much more tolerable

Anyway, the answer to the topic is clearly Reindeer Fuckland, and I'm shocked it hasn't been mentioned more often

100% fuck that place. The boss there is even worse

Ash Lake in ds1 is pretty bad, it just feels empty and unfinished, and going there without the lordvessel will... actually i just thought of something

If you go to tomb of giants without lordvessel, good luck making it back to firelink. youre better off just making a new character

Main game areas: Lost Izalith
DLC: Frigid Outskirts

There is absolutely nothing redeeming about either area, and they're both pure cancer.

I agree with this, but the first area (Yharnam) sent a lot of people back to the store for a return or an exchange. That is one tough way to start a game.

I'm gonna have to disagree with this one. I thought pretty much any area in the city of Yharnam itself was boring, though this doesn't seem to be a popular opinion, >.<

I loved just about every other area, though.

Valley of Defilement says hi. The swamp part in that world is by far the worst poison area.
Came in to say this. I built up in my head that Blighttown was going to be worse than Valley of Defilement, and it wasn't even close.

Even the bonfire in the center of town? Btw, "at ease" - not looking to argue with you, just want to hear your "unpopular opinion".

Yahar'gul is fucking amazing, especially if you got taken there earlier

Coming back to go full doom slayer on that part of town was great

It was even worse as a spell caster because the build and spell mechanics as of whole was absolute garbage.

To the point that I generally believe spell casting was a utter last min afterthought in DS2.

Blighttown is the worst, assuming you're playing on Xbox 360 or PS3. Otherwise, it's not that bad (though pretty annoying).

What's that area with the giant fucking worm, and the huge crossbow is spamming homing missiles non stop. I think the floor was also poison. Such an annoying spot.

Going slow and picking your fights works well for most of the game/franchise, but this area feels like a total crap shoot.

Annoying gimmicks is what makes most areas memorable tbh.

Frigid Outskirts is actually a very good idea but they fucked up with the lightning reindeer. If it had been more manageable enemies it could have been great.

Black Gulch isn't really an area. They just packed as many enemies and projectile shooting statues as they could into a shoebox sized space.

Smouldering Lake, iirc, but there isn't any poison in the area.

As a one-off area, I think it could have been interesting. As a boss runback, though, it's just so, so bad.

I never thought they could make an area as bad as Lost Izalith. Then they hit us with Frigid Outskirts.

well there is a giant crossbow that shoots a 3-round burst of arrows at you, and disabling it means going through several death traps, so id say its fair

oh not to mention the giant worm that spits lightning

I don't even think you're supposed to fight it fair. But then again I didn't think you'd have to fight the hydras in the first game either.
It's really easy to kill from behind. Its attacks are always aimed towards front, even if you're behind it.

The Toxic blowpipers are pretty shit, and I'm not sure how you're supposed to elegantly make it through the end of the ladder section, where you have to fight the fat club dude and 2 skinless lizard... things in an enclosed space.
