Ok guys so I see a lot of debate in the comments about DS2, many people seem to have very differing opinions and some arguing seems to have broken out, some even with name calling involved. So I'm going to settle this right now, this should solve this once and for all but this might be a VERY controversial opinion so be prepared: Dark Souls 2 is part of the Dark Souls trilogy

[@jacydesica4069]

Indeed it is and out of all FROM Soft games (including Elden Ring) I had the most fun with this game. People have different tastes and thats ok. Its a game, nothing more. People should stop telling other people which items they are allowed to have fun with.

How to describe making a pyromancy build in this game? Okay, it’s like this: Imagine you are a bird, making a nest. You fly out and search for twigs. Before too long, you find a nice twig, and then another. You keep picking them up, and appear to be making good progress. But then, after you find enough twigs for about half of a nest, you just…stop finding them. There are no more twigs. Now you have to make a nest out of not nearly enough materials, and even if you succeed, you know it’ll be threadbare and terrible to live in. That’s what pure pyro builds are like in DS2.

[@ExpandDong420]

Just a bit of trivia, but in DS2 the lock-on range is based on the lighting. That's why it's so bad in Shrine of Amana if you're not carrying a torch.

[@shindrac]

@@GilbertTheGilbertGuy Yeah. Also, something that I'm not sure everyone knows, but the Gargoyles spawn isn't time based, it's total hp% based. So taking them one at a time makes the fight turn into a 1v2 for most of it, instead of spreading the damage.

except I am pretty sure they are in a difference location, you know the whole frigid outskirts not frozen eleum loyce, also having just played through the game burning a human effigy doesn't seem to block npc invaders, additionally at 24:20 it looks like the effigy burn effect is up yet he is killing forlorn an npc invader edit: not implying that boss isn't connected just more that ds2 can be very inconsistent

Dead Again doesn't make hollows explode. It makes the bodies of the enemies that remain after death, such as skeletons, have a dark ball about e them that explodes. It's extremely op if you have a shit ton of corpses in a small area. To put it in perspective, you can one-shot any boss if you could somehow put enough corpses into an arena through commands.

Makes a joke about people complaining about the ganks. He gets immediately swarmed right after making the joke.

[@JKLeeds]

I got hit by a heavy dose of ganquiliser

[@sanddagger36]

Whenever I play MMO's with my friends we always plan exactly how to agro enemies but when we play Darks Souls or Elden Ring they just rush through everyone with their OP weapons. But they can't do that on DS2 and they whine about ganks and all I can think of is "why can't we just plan to systematically agro certain enemies just like an MMO." but they just love to complain I guess.

[@ambience273]

The joke is people who agro a lot of enemies at once.

[@SparkSovereign]

​@@sanddagger36I definitely enjoy the gameplay of planning how to tackle a room full of enemies. That first street in Central Yharnam comes to mind, as does the part of Lothric Castle after the bridge and right before Dragonslayer Armor. With MMOs, usually the trash mobs don't respawn once you've cleared them out the first time, which helps give you a pacing cool down between bosses without slowing down attempts if you're struggling. DS2 gank placement felt less interesting and more tedious, personally. 12 guys clown car-ing out of a tiny door in a narrow hallway was funny the first time but just annoying the next few. Sometimes I want to just run through stuff I've already done, or feel powerful clearing out weaker enemies, and DS2 is more "all caution all the time" until you kill stuff so much it stops respawning, so I don't enjoy the pacing as much as the other games. That said, if you've decided to play a game like DS2, it makes sense to pay attention to how it's designed and play accordingly, so hopefully your friends come around and give it a go the way it was meant to be enjoyed, if that's a type of gameplay they enjoy in other games.

[@michaelp4387]

@@sanddagger36 Yes, it's fun to plan ahead and systematically draw aggro out of a dozen enemies, taking them out one by one until you get to the boss. It's quite interesting to do so the first time around... and the second time... maybe the third time... but as you make more and more attempts at the boss, you get impatient, you feel your time is wasted on the same mobs you cleared time and times again, you try to rush, you get ganked, you die. That's where I find the ganks aggrevating and annoyting. It's such a bliss From added statues of Marika in ER. You still have to tackle the level fully, but once you've done that, you don't have to spend trash time on basic enemies ever again.

I actually did a really similar challenge to this a few years back! Just in a different order, and I definitely used ascetics, hex hood, lion mage set, and clutch rings. Plus off-hand binoculars meant free aiming! NG hexes, NG+1 sorceries, NG+2 pyro, NG+3 miracles. I had a lot of fun.

[@JKLeeds]

Simply because in game in DS3 those spells are still classed as Sorceries if you look at the equipment info screen while Hexes in DS2 are an actual classification unlike DS1 and DS3

Fresh starts are sooooo brutal in this game. The best thing would've been obtaining almost everything on NG, then moving on. It would be interesting to see a "spells only" without restrictions about the type. Sacred Oath coupled with Crystal Soul Spear or stuff alike could be pretty fun.

[@thecuza9716]

The invader in Eleum Loyce didn't show up because killing a boss in DS2 gives you the effect of burning an effigy, preventing invasions for 30 minutes. That's what the black and white icon with the red line through it means. Also, the solution to free-aiming spells in DS2 is the binoculars. Because DS2 binoculars work like a shield instead of a hotbar item, you can aim and cast in first-person while still being able to move around and dodge.

[@JKLeeds]

But then why did they show up in the next cycle where I also killed Lud and Zallen first? I didn't do anything different 😕

[@maxwellwilliams1802]

42:00 just as an aside, covetous demon can be poisoned, it just has a high poison resistance, and with how weak it is as a boss, it doesn't make much sense to waste time fighting him that way, unless you're doing a "pacifist" run like ymfah did. It is entirely possible that it does become immune in later ng cycles, but in base ng it is poisonable.

Dead Again makes the bodies of enemies explode, not Hollows. Never tried it myself but it could be useful in a large tank situation; taking out one enemy and then exploding it to deal AoE damage.

I think fire/pyro is simply an extra damage type for Faith/Int/Dark. Any magic stat increases fire damage and glove doesn't require standard upgrade mats so you can upgrade it in parallel. DS3 is probably the only one which doesn't give good backup plan to magic builds for some bosses.
