A COMPLETELY normal game of Dark Souls 2

[@ALINAGORI]

lol , it never gets old first playthrough and the player enters the covenant of champions 🤭

[@NotPolarEX]

Why I laughing tho👀

@@NotPolarEX Talk to the Cat she can remove the covenant

[@soulpunisher743]

@@NotPolarEXjoin any covenant but that one I mean unless you want the extra challenge. The covenant you joined made the game harder, when in that covenant enemies have more health and they do more damage to you and I think you do less damage to them.

[@adachiadachi-d6h]

the sword you want is the warped sword but its a light weapon and a dex weapon but in the dlc theres an amazing str weapon but you should get the warped sword for now

[@NotPolarEX]

I still may consider using it but for now I'm liking strength

[@AllramYT]

Hahaha You joined the Champions :D I can tell you about it if you want. But before that just know that you can unlock a ring with them. That makes it so you can fist fight with no weapons on. Straight Hands !

[@NotPolarEX]

Don't I have to do PVP for that?

[@HeraldoDeLuna]

@@NotPolarEX Nope

@@NotPolarEX with the covenant the mobs sometimes gonna drop a item I think you need 50

[@EBILGAMER]

The mace is one of the best weapons against enemies and bosses since most of them are heavily armored and the mace does strike damage which they are weak to, Also the mimic chests have slight breathing animation, when you look at the lid closely you can see it opening a little revealing their teeth.

[@NotPolarEX]

Yea the mace seems good I jus want something cooler

[@EBILGAMER]

@@NotPolarEX There's always the classic greatsword. If you are going for a strength build.

[@gusrodrigues5319]

@@NotPolarEX Big stick. Iirc it's somewhere around the three sentinel boss room, or after it. Bit fragile tho.

[@veedoofthedum]

Btw the mace (and rapier) can carry you easily to the mid/late game. Switch weapons when you find something cool that you want to try. This is Fashion Souls for a reason👌 You can also powerstance weapons (You can dual wield same group weapons if you have 1.5 times the required stats) that isnt in the other games. Just hold Y or triangle when you have a weapon in each hand and when the other weapon rises slightly its active👍

[@NotPolarEX]

I just need a weapon that's cool asf and not bad honestly

[@veedoofthedum]

@@NotPolarEXThere is a ton! You just need to find them so you need to do lil more exploration (you have missed some stuff but theres also a lot ahead)💪 Theres also cooler armor sets than in the other games imho👌

[@abysskun9518]

Fun fact, if you level up the Covenant of the Champions to the max level you get a ring that allows you to use the bare hands build and it's actually very fun. There are a few ways to get it without needing to partake in PVP, I'd say farming the 50 Awesotnes is worth it

[@NotPolarEX]

50???!!!!!

[@keepmadlol9320]

​@@NotPolarEX reasonable response

[@abysskun9518]

@@NotPolarEX iirc that's the standard amount to getting any covenant on lvl 3

[@scarletripper9342]

Champions covenant puts you in the new game plus difficulty, thats why the gutter was harder. No other covenant does this, but bonfire ascetics can be burned at a bonfire to raise the level of the individual area. New game plus adds items, but unless you look up how to farm the awestones to progress it youre better off using the bonfire ascetic. The symbol of the king is a ring. Theres another door in that area that requires an item or bought with 1million souls There are secret doors you missed in a couple of the areas, the secret doors in ds2 instead of hitting them you hit the interact button (there wont be a prompt) sometimes these give you extra bonfires. Theres a bonfire at the start of black gulch on the left, the torch lets you set the pools on fire as you roll through them, and theres a secret ledge around the wormholes No mans warf has the guts greatsword which is really good two handed in the building with the long armed monsters. Theyll back away in fear if your torch is lit

[@NotPolarEX]

So I just made the game harder???

[@scarletripper9342]

@@NotPolarEX by 1 new game cycle yes, you can leave it though. theres a way to farm an npc invader in the one path down the hole in offline mode if you wanted the rewards but it takes awhile

I just found out that a enemy in DS2 has the moveset that Radahn uses in the dlc :O ofc only the weapon part not the power part :D Keep going these videos are awesome ! I am fully enjoying watching and trying to play along

[@ashdust9832]

ds2 so peak miyazaki saw the top tier enemies and thought "yeah, make that a boss" that's how PEAK ds2 is 🔥🔥🔥

[@NotPolarEX]

Wait which one??

[@AllramYT]

Vengarl :) or rather his body

[@swaswj414]

If you're not going to use a shield anyway, you should look into "power stancing." Similar to Elden Ring, when you wield two weapons of a similar type (two scimitars, two spears, two hammers), you can toggle a power stance. You must have 1.5x the required STR and DEX of both weapons, rounded down. Example, the Mace requires 12 STR and 5 DEX, you'd need 18 STR and 7 DEX to use the power stance. With a mace in each hand, Hold Y/Triangle, and your character will change their stance slightly. You now have a different moveset (try all four attack buttons) that costs more stamina but does massive poise/stagger damage.

[@NotPolarEX]

I didn't know about the stat thing cuz I did try to duel wield the maces

[@samplevi]

it doesn't necessarily have to be two weapons of the same class like in Elden Ring, you can powerstance greatswords with straight swords for example too

[@igweikechukwu7940]

Extremely entertaining video as always bro, never been so happy to watch a channel grow 😊

[@ABC123dawg]

3 different weapon upgrade materials. For boss weapons they use "petrified dragon bones" which are pretty rare then theres some using twinkling titanite, and then the shards.

[@NotPolarEX]

What about the flexile sentry sword which one does that use

@@L-or3vr Maybe just don't move the left joystick while attacking with them? It's a feature for people who want to do change their attack's direction but it's mostly bad if not executed properly.

As someone who just beat DS 2 despite dropping it 5 times through the years this is just a skill issue. Yeah the runbacks for bosses suck harder then a wiping with industrial grade sand paper and the hit boxes/hurt boxes are a bit jank but you can get through it with patience.
