As a die hard advocate of this game, I wish more people consciously understood that this game is trying to do different things than the first, because I feel that makes it much easier to appreciate. I much appreciate your willingness to meet the game on its own terms despite your own opinions, which are valid.

This person said nothing significant. They fall into the same moronic comments that all the other braindead idiots who improperly malign this game. DS2 is the secret best one and it's a good way to measure whether a content creator actually knows what they are talking about. I can't take a person seriously if they run at an enemy on a narrow platform, die, and then blame the game for it. And they broke chests. What an idiot.

Each fromsoft game tried to be different. Then when ds2 received so much unwarranted backlash, even when the devs were trying 10x harder than the main team to patch it and make the dlc’s, and bloodborne recieved very little overall attention they just decided “huh, let’s make ds3 a lazy surface level copy of what people liked in bloodbornes gameplay and then make everything else a lazy carbon copy of the first game bc everybody loves it” they tried to be different again with sekiro and it’s not as critically acclaimed as the first game or ds3. “Too difficult… too different. I had to try to beat bosses. Ds3 didn’t make me try this hard” they said. The community hates difficulty contrary to how much they pride themselves on being fans of “difficult games”… ds2 does some difficult things but they call it unfair, elden ring spams aoe’s and ganks like a drug addict abuses heroine and they call it good game design and true difficulty. Sekiro made it so you have to be skilful but that’s too much for them. So they went and made elden ring, a really surface level empty ass open world with somewhat improved elements from ds3 but more artificial difficulty and reused assets….still got 10/10 masterpiece reviews 2 hours after launch, constant critical acclaim and a rabid cult like following basically dog piling anyone who who makes 100% deserved criticisms of the game etc etc I’m a defender of ds2 and a big fan of blood borne, you can’t argue against this community. They have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about and have no ability to understand why they’re wrong or how they could be blamed for a game seeming bad. Their opinion is always right, their limited experience is dogma and the popular opinion is gospel truth. “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength”

@@caspertheemoghost1482flaws that they should’ve fixed for Scholar instead of introducing more (blocking off a tutorial area? Why?) Scholar overall just makes the game worse and 99% of the complaints are over that version. Some areas in vanilla have so few enemies you think “that’s it?”

I remember 2 years ago playing the first quarter of dark souls 1 remastered with my buddy whose a fromsoft vet. Held my hand the whole time and we blitz through the two bells. Then stuff came up and we had to stop. I came back to dark souls 2 which I bought years before when it went on sale but had to play alone since the servers were down. It was the hardest gaming experience of my life but I beat the game twice on new game + with two different characters. Being alone with no one to aid me and going fully blind was such a wild experience that I fell in love with scholar of the first sin. I died so many times but I kept hacking away until I’d clear an area and use the souls to become stronger. I eventually got a copy for my younger brother so I could co op with him and get him use to souls games before elden ring. The games so much easier with two people but is also a really fun experience as I’d do a faith strength build while he became a hex dex warrior. He honestly liked the game a lot and looked forward to playing together as we fought each boss. I love dark souls 2 for the teaching me to get gud and giving my brother and I a game to share.

Words can't describe how satisfying was to finally reach Wellager at Drangelic Castle to buy the remaining miracles and pyromancy after speedrunning NG++ and see the last achievements pop up one after another.

Tried getting all achievements for this one aswell. For some reason the looking glass knight and giligan achievement will not pop for me. Great video, did enjoy.

Honestly, getting every achievement in DS2 was a lot easier than some people made it out to be. Like, for a while I was under the impression it was near impossible because of how some of the covenants work but like, you don't have to level any of those because the true bro of Dark Souls, Ghosty McGhostface, has your back.

Honestly, respect for picking Deprived. It's definitely the most difficult in any of the games, and therefore more rewarding. At least in my opinion. Starting with essentially nothing and slowly gathering an arsenal as the game progresses will never get old, especially in this game

Glad I found your channel

There are a few items and methods that would have made your experience A LOT less painful: -Whips can be used to break spitting statues and pots without getting too close. Does not consume anything (like throwing knives), you don't need to meet the stats, and the whip can be broken. -bows. Specifically, you can put a fire infusion on a short bow, for minimal stat requirements, and then apply the fire effect to regular cheap arrows. Additionally, stock up on poison arrows, and cheese almost all of the regular enemies from a distance. The poison build up does not depend the bow's level -small summon soapstone is the best, and it's sad it wasn't added to DS3 or Elden Ring. Allows you to be summoned into a player's world for a short amount of time without actually having to commit to beating the boss. If you successfully complete your mission, it's like having sat at a bonfire, but without respawning the enemies. I'm currently replaying the game, and using the crown of the Old Iron King, I have turned myself into a mobile bonfire, being able to cast healing and repair, as well as weapon buffs. The crown restores 20% (rounded up) of your spells every 2 minutes. That's what I used when I did a no death/ no bonfire run on a NG+ character.

So you played this game with a guide? The fact that you didn't die to the Pursuer (he said his first real death happened in Heide's tower) and knew how to avoid his attacks, and how to chease Dragonrider make me think so.

Are you going/planning to do a full DS3 achievement run and maybe even elden ring/sekiro c: ?

Alright man you've earned a sub

I wanna say you could've cut down on the grind immensely by using bonfire ascetics but I think not having a plan and doing something like this is much more fun. Pretty good!

I find people enjoy or dont enjoy DS2 mostly based on how fast they like to play. DS2 has a LOT of enemies, but the vast majority of them are actually split up initially. People that like to run into areas aggro everything and once and then get frustrated by it thinking its intentionally bad design. Players that are more patient and kill every enemy as they go recognize the ambushes before they activate. I think it has the problem of being the second game with the same name, so people expect it to be more of the sake, when instead it's very experimental. For example, if you actually enter Iron Keep slowly and wait for the enemies to come to YOU, you can easily pick them off one by one.

2:45 Pate: "Hey, careful with that gate there, it's definitely a trap. I wouldn't recommend you go in, but it's your call I guess" Player: "He's a dick. He tricks me into walking into a trap!" Look, not saying he ISN'T a dick, but I never understood how that dialogue could ever be interpreted as "tricks".

Big DS2 fan, its my favourite of the series, and I still have never done all of the covenants stuff, since some of the are a pain.

DS2 was my first souls game! I am a huge fan of the perma-clear feature; defeat an enemy 12 times and it won't respawn? GODSEND. No matter how many times I fall, if I take EVEN ONE enemy with me, I have made progress towards that safe, silent, empty level. Gave me a huge feeling of accomplishment and safety, when I can walk thru Iron Keep without getting knocked off narrow ledges. Playing DS1 after, I got burnt out from always feeling unsafe in every level, constantly losing my souls because I dropped them further ahead of where I could reliably get back to... I felt punished for exploration, especially in the dark Catacombs and those skeleton-dogs. The long walks between areas like Bilghttown and Firelink, or between the first and second bonfire in Anor Londo, really made me get tired of the cool visuals. On the other hand, I understand how DS1 players, trying to run thru DS2 areas and NOT perma-clear them, find the enemy hordes to be excessive. I don't think the DS2 design is horrible, I just think it requires patience and the intentional use of the perma-clear feature. The same way the pre-Lord-Vessel part of DS1 requires patience with ALL THE WALKING between areas, which I DID NOT have, lol.

Shrine of Amana and iron keep get way easier if you use these special, mythical items called RANGED WEAPONS. Dark souls 2 has regular bows that scale off of strength, and crossbows are easy to find and can be used in the offhand easily, there's no excuse or reason not to use one other than foolishness or stubbornness. Seriously though, bow in your second main weapon slot, or crossbow in your offhand and 1-handing your main weapon, and this game is much less difficult, especially iron keep/amana

Light a torch and the spiders go away

I love DS2. It expanded on the weapons and spells from DS1, souls were plentiful which I personally loved as it made the early-mid game more interesting, the durability system actually had a purpose because of how easily items break, and the best hub of any FromSoft game. Don’t get me wrong the enemies and bosses are pretty damn lackluster, and the map is more or less shit. But I still enjoyed it a lot.

Geting all achievements in DS2 means nothing when i can literally jump into SAM and in 30 seconds have all achievements for the game.

Why didn't you just farm the Giant Lord over and over again instead of grinding iron keep? Much more efficient!
