I beat my SL1 for DS2 with a different mental constitution by the end. Iron Passage was the most brutal section, where I died 152 times, with only 19 of those deaths being to the Blue Smelter Demon.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Jesus, that sounds accurate though. before the run even began I had told myself, Iron keep, Iron passage, and Sir allone I will just full clear, no questions lol

[@HeinzBeanz2002]

After finishing DS2 SL1 a few days ago, Iron Passage was one of the better runbacks, the first section is probably the worst of it but the other two parts are so scripted. Felt the same about Sir Alonne’s Runback, first part was pretty bad but the second part was 100% consistent. I’m pretty sure most of my Runbacks were minor inconveniences at most, overall not too bad… …now Frigid outskirts on the other hand… i may have actually lost my humanity IRL doing that runback and boss over and over and over again… was probably the worst experience i’ve had in my entire No levelling Marathon.

[@123afish]

@@HeinzBeanz2002 this is so strange to me because I only died three times in total in the entire area. If you get the Old Knight Hammer, you can pancake the reindeer. I saved frigid outskirts for last, thinking it would mentally defeat me, only to complete it with ease

[@HeinzBeanz2002]

@@123afish two different SL1 experiences lmao Who would have thought. Honestly, my experience overall was mostly positive i’d say, ADP aside i had just as much fun in this game as i had in any other, frigid outskirts and Lud & Zallen was the only real terrible experience.

[@whatthebeardoin3160]

SL1 runs always felt so interesting because with no maiden to transpose souls into artificial strength, it feels like a regular person managing to overcome ancient heroes and monumental monsters. Especially with something as mundane as a rapier and poison. Is this how an ancient kingdom is overcome? Yes, yes it is.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Interesting perspective, never really thought of SL1 being like a normal guy

[@theagonysembrace]

Not even just a normal guy. Someone who just came back from the grave, who barely remembers their name and lacking all their humanity. Basically more of a weak Zombie than a regular guy.

24:04 That Pharros Lockstone does indeed do something, it's one of the few "trap" devices in the game. You see that slot in the wall beside it? If you're a good little hollow, you stand in front of the device and wait for the illusory wall to start glowing. If you do, a saw blade comes out of that slot and hits you. That's about it.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Interesting, thanks for the explanation!

I honestly sometimes forget it's even a thing, in this case I had left over materials and decided why not use them, pretty sure it helped lol

[@Deedrunner]

Tbh, it ain't in the big picture, but it helps in subtle ways. I upgraded my kings armor set to max and amanaged to survive a hit at NG+7 with like 3 health or something. It helps, but most people simply overlook it.

[@BloodyN1nja]

If one thing can be said to the benefit of DS2 in terms of SL1 runs, is there are a lot of items that give stat boosts. Like, a LOT of items, more than any of the others if I remember right

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

True, it's honestly overwhelming lol

[@DragonRider6566]

ds2 has like 3x the amount of stat boosting items that the other games do. there is consumables for every damage stat, rings for every stat (except adp), and a lot more

[@MindTheGap97]

I know this is an old comment but there is an Adp ring, it's called simpleton's ring, it makes your rolls invisible, but, more importantly, gives a whopping +5 adp

IMO the best way to deal with the Frigid Outskirts is to use either the Greatclub + stone ring or just the Old Knight Hammer (no stone ring needed). With that you can just stunlock the horses to death with the heavy attack.

I am 100% with you on the "I don't PvP" bit. That said, I do prefer playing online because I consider player ghosts on almost a vital part of the atmosphere. Really appreciate Elden Ring letting me opt out of other people having fun by ruining my fun without going offline. Did toy with the idea of getting banned in DS3 and DS1 decided not to since but it's generally avoidable. Especially so in DS1 since being human gives you no benefit. I'm also pretty sure the ban servers would be worse :P

It’s surprising how many hard boss runs you can just run past the enemies and just enter the fog in time. For example blue smelter demon you can just run and bait the giant dude and enter the fog before getting hit

Dark Souls 2 is a pretty damn good game, but aesthetically and mechanically it feels like a fan made game as far as fitting in with the rest of the trilogy. It is not bad by any means, it has tons of content and different ways to build your character. I definitely got my money's worth with it, but from a general perspective I prefer the rest of Fromsoft's lineup.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Pretty spot on comment, I agree. I make a lot of DS2 bad jokes, but it's really not, it's just _different_

[@NexusKin]

Dark Souls 2 was actually developed on a completely different engine than the rest of FromSoftware's other entries. That's why it looks and feels completely different from everything else.

[@emblemblade9245]

It sounds kinda like all those sequels in old games series that ended up being way different from the original, until the third game went back to basics, but expanded. Like, Super Mario Bros 2, or Zelda II. Though maybe not quite as extreme in the case of DkS2

[@ThatGuyOrby]

24:05 assuming that's the second one in the memory of Orro it is in fact pointless and actually triggers a trap if you have not killed all the enemies around the immediate area.

What people forget about Dark Souls 2 are two things. One most if it's Problems (Hitboxes, etc.) are also present in other games and second, it has a NG+ that actually changes the game apart from enemies doing more damage and having more health. It is perfect. No, not by a long shot. But for me it stands one the same pedastal as Dark Souls 1 and 3. Slightly under Bloodborne, Elden Ring and Sekiro.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

I absolutely LOVE that NG+ changes things, I know it's much extra work (or can be) but it really is something that should be considered if a game has NG+ Also agreed the other games also have bad hitboxes, but I feel like in DS2 they are at the worst. I'm not necessarily bagging on it here, but it's definitely the game I went "no, I call BS game" the most lol

[@darkwhispersstories47]

The rest of the games have hitbox issues the difference lies with the fact that ds2 also has stats that affects your of all things so your rolls start up horrible So bad hitboxes mixed with the fact that you need a stat to roll properly makes ds2 stay above the rest by a very substantial large margin And while the Ng+ stuff is nice a lot of people will try ds2 once and never again because of all the bull this game has a game has to captivate people with their first playtrough in order to keep them there. And ds2 is by far the roughest first playtrough anyone can have in a fromsoft game

14:48 Ah yes, a fellow person of culture.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

If I could post the meme I would lol

[@reaperofthings]

7:08 how do you think any mage build feels? At least you can hit the bastards, mages have to try and spot them from a mile out and snipe them with binoculars or else be consigned to death by sharp stabbies

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Pure mage would suck for that part yeah haha

[@maebarlow8572]

that was brutal. just so you know you missed a bonfire in the room with the spikes in the sunken king dlc

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Not surprised lol every time I beat the game and look at the bonfire list and see several that I missed I just go "where???" haha

[@ZeldaSturm]

There's no way in hell, that I would ever do this challenge 😅 that being said, you have my true respect 😅

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Don't recommend it lol, or rather, don't recommend the DLC, base game wasn't so bad

[@roohyuga]

This comment will probably get lost in the mix but I've recently come across your channel and have been binging your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Glad you enjoy the videos my friend! I'll do my best to keep improving! :)

[@johneggboy]

Ever tried getting into the fallout or resident evil series, maybe even tried to think of different ways of trying to beat sekiro, like instead of just using thrust attacks, you can use normal attacks but you cannot dodge, sure its not as hard as the thrust only no dodging challenge you did, but its good to have different variants considering sekiro is a game where you may not beat the game in all the ways like in every other souls game, but different variants on their own is fine, even if you have already done it before, it can still be fun. Oh wait, you are not the person who did the thrust only challenge, oh well, you can still try no dodging sekiro challenge

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Lmao, Baron did thrust only. But anyway, I would like to do more sekiro videos, but as you said the game doesn't lend itself to a lot of options. Still I have a couple ideas planned

[@rampantbuckler818]

This is bloody convenient considering I promised myself that I would beat Dark Souls 2 at sl1 on my first full run

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

On your _First_ run?? hats off to you my friend lol

[@rampantbuckler818]

@DoomWolfOfficial First *full* run. Dark Souls 2 was my introductory game for the souls series, I was borrowed a copy on the XBOX One. All things considered, the experience was god-awful: I was dying to everything (even the Majula hogs), spent all of my effigies immediately BECAUSE of dying to everything, couldn't figure out how to level up (I didn't know about 'souls', and I made it worse on my self by burning a bonfire ascetic. As you can probably guess, I couldn't make it even as far as Dragonrider. The extent of my travels were hardly into Heide's Tower of Flame, and the forest area where you get ambushed by a ton of thief guys early on downstream from one of the fat Ogre things. Essentially I'm doing this out of spite

[@CBtheeStallion]

0:01 he got me on a fucking chokehold

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

you weren't the only one ;) lol

[@themanintheredcoat2667]

U deserve more bru u care abt your subs a lot u should have 1million

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Thanks for the kind words my friend :) I'm just glad people enjoy the videos haha

[@tomschlaiss5735]

Smooth video, well presented. Cheers from Germany

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Thanks my friend, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@lordblobfish1411]

honestly dark souls 2 is my favorite of the dark souls games to play casually. Other than the adaptability stat, I have no major complaints about the gameplay or features.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

I have a couple issues with some hit boxes being wildly off, but I agree. It's a great game and an overall great experience, I wish people didn't jump on the DS2 bad bandwagon
