Demon's/Dark Souls Thread. Dark Souls II!

^I think that line of thinking is evident in the creation of the Dual Swordsman class and the cover boy for this game rocking two swords at once. That statue is standing boldly on my shelf. I’d say it’s evident in the game’s design as a whole. It’s all about being bold. You don’t hope for a better situation in DS2, you just make one no matter your style of play.

Ok. Thought. Shouldn’t punching be the fastest attack in the game? Lower damage output and range and inability to break through armor naturally (could get fist weapons to do that) but should be made up in small uses of stamina. I wouldn’t go as far as turning it into a fighting game but, quick jabs, strong uppercut after a roll, hard hook, block, parry, classic DS1 kick, and a leaping kick or overhead smash would be top tier. Using power stance would give you access to longer combos and and more brutal blows like knees to the gut and the ability to fall backwards on an enemy and then roll out of the way. Back stab would be interesting to come up with though. Neck breaking seems to be the most obvious but there’s one enemy in the game where that would seem impossible (In Sinner’s Rise). Fastest attacks in the game though.

I want this so bad.

even when i roll i still get hit by his flame sword

OMG. I turned Ricard’s Rapier into a BLEED Ricard’s Rapier, and holy shit in ONE R2 attack it causes bleed. It’s much weaker, but bleed makes up for that. Fuckin tight.

If you have really high AGL and that’s still happening, you are either waiting longer than necessary or just doing it way too early. If you do have high AGL, you don’t need to dodge at the very last second, you have a big of leeway.

Do we have a list of elemental weaknesses for bosses yet? I want to make something bleed or poison.

I know the ruin sentinels are weak to dark

just beat the smelter demon, he seems pretty weak to aromatic ooze

The boss with the giant hammer who cast dark is weak to poison, he can be poisoned

To be fair…

According to what I’ve learned, in the distant past, man made a pact with the rats. Deeming that humans would rule the overworld, while rats would rule the domain of the underground. However, humans since then have claimed domain over both, and broke their pact with the rats. Which is why the rat covenant leader dude has you kill other humans, and bring him the rat tails of their fallen kin.

In terms of the actual covenant itself, don’t knock it till you try it…I’ve had to have gotten at least 20 something tails at this point from all my kills. There’s so much funny shit you can do at Pharros Door, especially when you have EVERY trap in the room on. Which I’ve done. :rofl:

In an ideal scenario, I’ll usually put 4 flame bombs on top of the summon point, throw an alluring skull on top of it to attract the mobs, and then when they finally spawn I hit them with Acid Mist to break their shit. And if they somehow survive all that and actually manage to engage me in swordplay, the explosive ring shits all over them if I take damage. Plus, Flame Swathe actually works amazingly because the water just slows them down.

Has to hands down be the trolliest covenant in existence. :rofl:

That changes nothing. How do you look down on someone who’s above you both literally and figuratively? I’ll bring him Rat Tails alright… Every one that I cut off of his fellow plague buddies.

Actually, I’m glad you’re on the other side now, Martian… You, sir, are an asshole :rofl:. Nah, that sounds hilariously interesting.

LONG LIVE RAT KING!

Finished up The Depths. Gaping Dragon only took two tries. Figured out how to get him into a pretty easy loop, and from there he went down with minimal effort. Then ventured into Blight Town. Man fuck that place. That place sucks, and not in a “It’s really hard and challenging, but in a fun way” kind of way but in a “Man this place is badly designed, can’t see shit, frame rate is ass, it’s hard as fuck to figure out where to go, or even where the fuck I’m going period, I can’t wait to be past here cuz it blows” kind of way. I went into there about 5 or 6 times but only got far the very first time. After that i never managed to make it to where i first died, in fact i kept dieing earlier and earlier, so at that point i just turned it off. Will give it another shot tomorrow.

^All that sounds crazy. I’m in that area right now. I love how I get summoned to someone’s world. “I didn’t ask for this!” I went up a ladder after being chased by rats only to be clocked in the head by the summoner. It honestly feels like an old school bonus round from 16bit days. It doesn’t screw up my main game and if I succeed I get something out of it anyway.

Fixed.

Luckily, despite some of the complainers, I’ve never gotten hatemail, even after 35 kills, only some “nice job” or “wtf” mails lol

After blight town is when the game basically starts IMO gets waaaaaaaay better after that few tips for getting through it. Kamikaze it out and find the blow dart guys kill them asap they never respawn for good reason, they inflict you with the strongest toxic in the game that kills very fast. After the entrance walkway were you fight 3 or so boogeymen after coming from the depths theres a drop you should see on the roof across from there if you strip everything you can make the jump in there is Iato super dope katana that has a far reaching dashing slash heavy attack nice range and speed on the light attack and bleeds in 3-4 hits max on like everything in the game if you like katanas this is the one.

Once you get to the first bonfire as painful as it may sound explore right within the general vicinity of the bonfire is the shadow set which has some of the highest poison resistance in the game, the eagle shield which is one of the best shields in the game (I believe it was THE best until a console patch don’t know for sure didn’t play it on console) and power within pyromancy which is beneath the creepy wall parasite thing theres and area behind it that’s easy to get to where you just beat on it till it dies. There is a similar area to the one behind the wall hugger you want to fully explore this one as there is a fire keeper soul behind some bars on a dead body. Also there is a walkway ona tree branch between the moving wooden elevator thing and another area the only thing in this other area is the crimson robes and for whatever reason that branch is glitched so on the way back you fall off unless you want that set do go there. other wise that’s all there is to it once you get in the swamp its smooth sailing.

Yea I’ll give it another shot tomorrow. I found that Katana and it looks bad ass, but my Dex is too low to use it sadly. Will give those tips a go tomorrow. Thanks :tup:

I just found out you can cast great magic weapon on ascended weapons like like lightning/fire weapons. I think you can even cast it on a magic weapon so you can magic weapon while you magic weapon. I haven’t found anything better than great magic weapon, but I imagine the magic damage could get pretty bonkers on a melee mage.

@AlanEdrick‌

Were you that lazyjosh guy? I wouldn’t be surprised, since you’re both shit-posters with atrocious grammar and spelling.

I dont know who the fuck you are or lazyjosh? Though you both sound like idiots, and this has what to do with dark souls? So if I correct all my grammar are you going to give me a gold star? Man some people on this site you need to be banned for life. You dont like someones opinion, so you think you have some god given right be a fucking troll? Go kill your self please.

Your post has nothing to do with dark souls what so ever. Yet this fucking dumb ass doesn’t like someones opinion so hes just going to troll. You know on other forms you would just be banned, hell even on twitch you would be banned.

Back to dark souls 2 I finally found out want the fang key was for, it was just by luck I fell down a hole fighting and unlocked a door this giant bird guy was there. He told me to go back to his house. His house was in the desert full of shit, he also sells boss weapons

To be fair, anybody has the right to troll a dude who reverse-cowgirls the top level players.

this has what to do with dark souls? In a dark souls form? You should be banned. You are doing nothing but spamming the thread with a bunch of bull shit that has nothing to do with dark souls.

Some of you have double standards my god, fucking people talking advice from top level fighting game players like Jwong, Chirs G and others. Though if its a non fighting game, EVEN though they have fucking tournaments for the game like every month and win more then other players. Its like who gives a fuck. Only fighting games matter. Stfu with that bull shit, you think people dont play for money in dark souls? Even though people know how to toggle out of shit, people know glitches, people know that katanas and estocs win most of all tournaments in dark souls. Even though people like Hells, Fisto and some others win more, its like who the fuck cares their not Jwong. You people can go fuck off. Theres nothing wrong playing the game for fun, but there are other people who play in tournaments

God damn you’re dumb for giving him so much fucking attention. If you think he’s a troll then stop responding to him. You’re making longer posts that have nothing to do with Souls games then he is.

Dumb ass.
