Kill the shadows they are invisible hollows

Pro tip for this game, have fun! :) genuinely though when this game is taken slow and you assume there's some goofy shit around every corner like sen's fortress, you'll do well.

ADP beside make your roll better(increase invulnerability time) make your estus flask drink action quicker. Did you forget to open 2 other doors on forest of the giants 1 to the third bonfire 2 for the pursuer boss Also close to the tree giant has a ladder to go up to the locked area Also I think you maybe had screwed pates quest (idk how you get the soap stone from him now And you didn't Also spoke with Cale to get majula mansion key. Also in the forest of the giants where you Jump down to get firelong sword in the end that ladder lead you to a plataform where you can jump to the other side and get a fragment of branch of yore. And there's a chloranty +2 I'm shaded woods fog area, Also go in macula talk to the cat* get the ring of whisper to talk with the scorpion man

I for one thought the scorpion lady was kinda bad

since you already googled how to open the king's door(s) (yes there are more than one across the world) to open that place in shaded woods you need either the 4 great souls (the same ones needed to get the symbol of the king, which is actually a ring btw) or 1 million soul memory, which you just get by leveling up alot the 4 great souls are: freja, iron king, lost sinner and rotten and they are pretty much the last encounter at the end of each area, and obviously their fights will be the most cinematic/iconic, although some other lesser bosses have better fights in my opinion

as some people pointed out you can talk to scorpion-man tark using the ring of whispers from the cat in majula, he will give you certain rewards after you kill najka and another boss which I'll not spoil (but you can look it up it's not a big spoiler anyways) edit: another tip I can give after 100h playing this: weapon upgrades influence your damage A LOT more than levels... focus on getting your weapon to +10 it will be worth it (broadsword is a decent weapon, but you might look into other swords like the classic zweihander, claymore, or bastard sword)

3:37 if you exhaust her dialogue she will move to the hub area and will sell infinite lifegems

Grats on Najka, that should've been a fight later, kudos :D Also exhaust npc dialog. The cackling old lady for example will go to Majula and is the ony merchant to sell infinite lifegems, quite useful. Also also you're not technically done at the last giant's area, that is where you should continue level-wise

You can only light your torch near a bonfire or some sort of lighting but if you have a consumable item called flame butterfly you can light it anywhere. The torch is mainly used for lighting and the benefits of doing that is firstly you can see better and secondly some enemies are aftaid of light and dont go near it (for example spiders). The torch is also used to make certain bossfights a lot easier by changing the boss arena. For example in earthen peak the bossfight arena is covered in poison so not only you have to fight the boss but you also have to deal with the poison damage. But if you were to burn the giant mill in the area the poison goes away and you can fight the boss normally. Another example is the lost sinner. The lost sinner's bossfight is pitch black and it is really hard to fight the boss in total darkness but you can get rid of the darkness by using torch to light the 2 things located right next to the fogwall.

i didnt even know you could two hand a shield lmao

Dont upgrade your adp above 25. Its more than enough. And u will get a ring in brume tower dlc which will increase your adp +3.

Wait u didn't killed persuer boss in fallen giant forest after last giant.

You can go down the chapel in Majula and speak with Lydia, she will open yet another path for you to follow, one that was "locked by some contraption" Keep it up friend, it's good to see you progress! \[T]/

The shaded woods is meant for later, to properly progress you need to open a door you couldn’t open before in forest of the fallen giants using the soilder key, or you could go to the end of no-man’s wharf. Also lower your equipment load, it’s slowing your stamina regen

Weakness: nutsack

that timer is the torch timer you get more when you kill some enemies you can light the torch bye getting close to a bonefire and toggling from rest or using a flame butterfly(you will get them later) you can use the torch to light those fire places(they sometimes trigger events by doing so) for talking to that npc scorpion you need to buy the ring from the cat npc there is also the boss weapon npc you can free near thhe place forlorn invaded you but you need to get the key first from one of those petrified lions.

Great episode xD with a stella boss fight. You should take a ekstra look around the shaded woods fog area and pot area, try and find a stone lion standing alone that will lead to a friendly bird, and a guy in a wheelchair, and to end it off a guy with no body and a body with no head. To talk to the scorpion guy, you can get a ring from the cat back in town. It seems like you found out about the torches, you can also light them at bonfires and with flame butterflies. Lastly at 13:06 if you pause the video and look at the right side you will see a shadow of a invis guy. Some backseating for ya. prolly not everything ;)

Torch on the bonfire, you have two options when about to sit at the bonfire: 1) sit down 2) light up torch The timer is how long left your torch has. The torch is used to light up pillars that are pretty much everywhere in the game. Once lit, a light pillar never goes off, and you can light up your torch at will using them, not only the bonfire. If you change weapons, your torch goes away, you have to get it again at a bonfire or a pillar, same goes for water, it turns your torch off

17:55 for future areas: these guys and spiders are afraid of torches, makes killing them quite easy (especially spiders cause they always come in groups)

minor spoilers about the last giant boss: you'll face him again later on the game, when he is on his prime (yep, time travel, somewhat), which is why he looks so pissed, he remembers you xD

everyone dies at least once to the delayed heide knight swing, then after being humilliated you'll never fall for it again xD

Spend 10k total, with the old lady malentia. Then talk to her and she gives you the silver serpent ring +1, it is worth it.

The turtle soldier gives plug walk vibes

"knock" on the locked door at 10:15 for a nice surprise. forgot to mention that stamina regen is tied to your weight %

Strike damage is what u want honestly it’s the best damage type in the game so I’d go for the maces you can buy from the Blacksmith back in Majula & once u get high enough stats in STR you can power stance (duel wield) and it’s insane damage Edit: a lil tip for u is that you’ll want some Branches of Yor to progress

Hi Loony, I want you to play Bloodborne

Looks like you had more fun this episode :D Btw. You have some ash to burn at a bonfire ;)

Hey im loving the series too. One thing I’ll say is you can dual wield weapons by having two of the same type of weapon, and having 1.5 the strength and dexterity requirements of the weapons.for example- if one weapon has 10 strength 5 dexterity requirement, and let’s say the other is a weapon that requires 12 strength and 0 dexterity, you will need 18 strength and 8 dexterity ( it rounds up in the case of the dexterity ).if you meet these requirements, hold the two hand button and you’ll see your character holding the weapons different. L1 will then do a double hit, and usually you have a little spinning move too on L2.

Dont waste human effigies. U will need them for a boss fight. It pretty hard boss. Talk to old lady merchant and she will go to majula and sell infinite lifegems

Nice going! The bosses aren't that bad. It's just the mobs and bs. Keep uploading your progress. You got this!!

hey man loving the series so far a tip I think might help is it’s pretty easy to bait enemy/boss attacks by walking up and locking on waiting for the windup and backing up and attacking accordingly I suggest locking on as I frames are a key part of fromsoftware games and adaptability is a core mechanic of this game to have normal I frames other than that good luck with DS2 enjoying the series!

Soooo a few tips about ds2: Get your adp to 25. Don't play this game with your goal solely being to get to the end. Try to see the best features in each area and make the most of each one of them. And most importantly, be patient😅

You know that corner where the guy throws firebombs at you? The explosive barrels near that wall blows it open for a shortcut to the bonfire Also soldier key is used on a door in that section looking out at the sea with a turtle guy, the door is on the far side of the room near some stairs, you'll recognize who you are gonna fight next lol Also level adaptability or ADP, it gives you more s when rolling and faster heals

Attacks that spend more stamina than you currently have will be weaker,stamina management is more important here than any other Fromsoft game

I really enjoyed your ds1 playthrough, but I haven't played ds2 so I won't be checking out these videos until I finish it myself. Good luck looney

Nice job with the giant :D he is kind of a pushover but we love him nevertheless. Try to exhaust dialog with merchants and NPCs (so spam talk). Some move places after you exhaust it, or give you items if you spend enough souls and then talk. Them moving also updates what they sell so its quite important! The lock-on is wonky at best, its DS2. Also some AOE attacks have hitboxes after they visually disappear, so if you get hit by nothing that could be it. As a heads up.

I love it how hes switched from last video suck an easy game to this video stupid boss design such a typical gamer always the games fault i say skill issue 😂😂😂

Kalameet's Calamity attack (The screeching shit) is psychological warfare against the player.

Same, i've finished DS1, DS3, and Sekiro. The boss runbacks in DS2 is absolute insanity

Darkness decreases your lock on range,use torches and light up things to make fighting enemies better

The most important thing you should know when playing this game is to NOT PLAY THIS LIKE DS1,play DS2 like DS2,exploration and patience is key, don't go activating every single enemy aggro on the area and then complaining about ganks 👍

Yeah, I never made it far in DS2 (I stoppedplaying DS2 many years ago). So I won't be able to give tips. But I'll be here enjoying everytime you rage because I've seen enough walkthroughs with this game's bullshit. 😂
