[@Snnoy]

Hey, if you’re still wondering, basically the whole Gray Spirit thing is a mechanic where you’ll be summoned to try and get to a certain point while the host attempts to kill you. No consequences if you lose, but a lil reward if you succeed. (Requires the host to have a certain covenant ring gotten from an NPC.)

[@enderritterhd635]

[@JubioHDX]

on the first half of the comment though, i agree the fans teaming up to kill the spiders so dan could actually finish the game is really wholesome

[@lefthandedscout9923]

For anyone confused by Dan being summoned as a gray spirit and what that even means and if it's coop or PvP or whatever: The 2 areas where it happened are areas owned by the Rat King Covenant. If you're a member, the enemies there won't attack you. In addition, while a member is in one of those areas, they can randomly pull players who are playing through those areas themselves into their worlds as gray spirits. These gray spirits spawn at the start of the area, and the enemies are aggressive to them. The rat areas also have lots of Pharros Lockstone contraptions that turn on traps or open up bridges, doors and similar. Essentially, by turning on different contraptions, the covenent member can customize their own little obstacle course for gray spirits to be thrown into. As a gray spirit, you win by either getting to the end of the area or killing the covenent member that summoned you in PvP combat. If you do win as a gray spirit, you get teleported to the end of the area in your world, essentially skipping the area for you, and if you die, you don't lose anything, getting sent back to where you were in your world. Being a Rat King basically means you turn your world into a PvP obstacle course minigame that other people get thrown into, that they can opt out of it by using the Black Seperation Crystal to leave your world, and if they win, they get to skip straight to the boss.

[@sabersight908]

[@TheTriforceDragon]

Arachnophobe as well, but it varies greatly whether a video game spider triggers my arachnophobia and to what degree. Dark Souls 2 spiders makes me shiver, but it is manageable...Dark Messiah of Might and Magic spiders on the other hand...shiver...do not look them up as an arachnophobe unless you are ready for it. Probably doesn't help that the spiders from there are some of the few I have encountered that actually climb on the walls.

[@dusklunistheumbreon]

@Jacob yeah it varies a lot for me too. It depends on how realistic and how weak they are, since my entomophobia is more accurately a "insects mash the fight or flight buttons as hard as they can so do one or the other". For reference, the Half Life antlions (ESPECIALLY in Alyx) and Quelaag are basically the upper limit of what I can handle. Anything past that - in quantity, realism, or even strength - is just too much.

[@sabersight908]

@@dusklunistheumbreon I also got some things against insects in general actually, but some I find cute when others freak me out and make me go at least a few meters away from them, it's interesting how a fear can be so strong and yet be extremely minimal for the same thing. My fear for spiders has also changed quite a lot over the years, I used to not be able to even look at the smallest spiders alive, but now my fear has gotten more mature I guess and I only fear the reasonable big ones, or the way to fury or long legged ones

[@insaincaldo]

The only thing I liked about the remixed version over vanilla, the odd enemy placements that absolutely breaks every zone in terms of lore and is just a pile on in a game that already didn't respect you in terms of personal space. At least have more Heide Knights to farm. Ended up giving up in vanilla, once I had NG++++++++ every zone that had them. DS2 hates your attempts at farming, here have 15 attempts, or make it harder... again.

From what I hear it was the Scholar of the First Sin edition that added a bunch more enemies and those petrified statues that block you from getting to places. SotFS was the version I played and although there were parts I didn't like I mostly enjoyed the game, however I feel like I would've enjoyed the original version more as my first attempt at the game.

[@elvickRULES]

For the most part yes. Some statues are still there, to shaded woods (girl you give clothes/sells pyromancer), and the guy blocking the bonfire in the cell/sells sorceries are like that in DS2 vanilla. But there is one area that was improved in the Scholar. Instead of a normal area with enemies out the wazoo, the dragon area (bad with names) where ancient dragon is changed it to be more of a duel arena where most enemies just watch as long as you kill the big guys and the one champion at the end. That. To me, was a huge improvement. Most areas still aren’t that bad if you go slow, other than Shrine of Almana and Iron Keep (enemy aggro range is so ridiculous in Scholar there, and there’s so many; one enemy comes from another room despite zero line of sight it’s ridiculous). I prefer vanilla to Scholar for the most part. But the dragon area I mention and the shortcut in the wharf (that bridge isn’t there for some weird reason) are nice improvements. And the torch scares spiders so they leave you alone, which was also added in Scholar. So not all changes were as dumb as adding a statue to block off a tutorial area. 👍

4:29 Glad you asked! It's because Dark Souls 2 decided that their game needed snap points in the stick movement. If you move the stick too close to an increment in your stick's 360 movement, then your character will snap to that direction. It seems that speed has an effect on this, as running tends to snap you more easily to a direction. Another note is the game physics. It can be wonky at times, and when you intend to just drop off a platform, the physics could instead decide to just shoot you out into the direction you were going. But only sometimes.

[@JackGard]

Great ds playthrough vids man! Very much enjoying the clips. I know this vid is a few weeks old, so this might be irrelevant (especially if you've learned since then), but just in case I have some random info for ya. You're getting summoned as a grey spirit because of the areas you ran through. Basically you can invest in traps in the rat areas and pull people into your world when they enter the rat Covenant areas in their worlds. If they make it to the end or kill you, they get rewarded. If you kill them, you get rewards towards covenant devotion. If I remember right, Miazaki and his primary team were working on Bloodborne while this game was in development, which is part of why it feels like it stands apart from other souls titles. I can't fully remember when, but roughly around or after the DLC dropped there was a massive overhaul to the game. A lot of enemies and items were moved around. I could be wrong, but I want to say things got overall harder. This title is certainly the weakest within the soulsborne games, but it'll always hold a special place in my heart. Keep in mind it was on the xb360 era when the only other souls games were ds1 and demon souls. It's far from perfect and it hasn't aged the best, but it's nice to see you still giving it a shot. Plus, despite all the flaws I did really like the bonfire ascetic feature and all the options for weapons/armors.

When it comes to storytelling, DS2 is my favorite of the trilogy. The armor choices, only game with armor upgrades (really want it in Elden Ring), unique armor stats and passive abilities, the unique bosses like Fume Knight or Aldia, and so much more different that DS2 did is why its my favorite apart from the enemy density of course and cheap deaths that can happen.

[@leithaziz2716]

One other thing I'd like to mention is that a few of my friends are arachnophobes and personally I used to be one aswell but with so many games containing spooders I started to overcome it because I changed my thought process by realising that I could unlife the spooders in the game which helped me realise that they aren't that scary.

Fun Fact: Scholar of the First Sin edition enemy numbers sucks! That thing you were talking about with there being way too many enemies? Yeah in the original release of the game the enemy numbers were actually a regular, *sane* amount, but for the Scholar of the First Sin edition they had the brilliant idea of "What if we just TRIPLED the enemy count of every level?" The absolute worst of it is in Earthen Peak and Iron Keep. I like most of the other changes this version made to the game like more unique NPC summons and invaders, new shortcuts, and remixed item placements.

I'm arachnophobic and I soloed this whole game. Freja took several tries and it was probably the most horrible thing I've ever done to myself. Nice to see people can be so understanding.

Scholar of the first sin is, from what I understand, made for a more co op experience so there are more enemies, and it is a harder game

Man, it's so funny seeing RT panic over the mob of knights while he's holding a huge fuck-off greatsword with 400 damage and sweeping attacks haha

Man watching you play this has made me go back and finish dark souls 2 myself, first souls game I've ever finished. And I can say with 110% certainty that the enemy placement is SO MUCH WORSE in SOTFS. Like it's still not the greatest in the original version. But it's miles better
