Dark Souls 2 is just too easy for me...

[@birmuzyedim]

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.

never would've expected torches to be a significant item in the game

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 ;)

[@Looney123]

Thanks, I'll definitely go check out the fog area again. Also was curious about the scorpion guy so i'm glad all I need is a ring to get him talking.

[@Xappan]

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

[@starlyghtdrifter66]

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

[@Looney123]

you're a godsend 🙏

[@natsudragneelthefiredragon]

Its also useful for burning some things like the Earthen Peak windmill and the Black Gulch tar pits

[@ruination6906]

@@natsudragneelthefiredragonill keep that in mind for when i hit up the Black Gooch 🙏 🙌

[@findout-YGO]

@@Looney123 be careful when rolling in areas with water, IT WILL turn the torch off (and that's an amazing detail) rolling on oil pits or broken oil jars will also set them on fire, how cool is that? :D

[@devourerofgods3065]

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

[@Looney123]

Oh okay. I guess I’m just all over the place right now 😭😂

[@williamterenzi2290]

You forgot to say please

[@amirmohammadabdollahi6973]

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.

[@syedkaneki91]

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

[@JaqueefiusBrown]

i didnt even know you could two hand a shield lmao

[@Crown5041]

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

[@K9Zantetsuken]

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]/

[@Looney123]

Ok that’s good to know, thanks my man🙏

[@findout-YGO]

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)

[@Looney123]

just got my baby (claymore) today so im currently trying to level dex to use it

[@findout-YGO]

@@Looney123 it can carry you to the endgame easily and even ng+

[@syedkaneki91]

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.

[@findout-YGO]

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

[@lilcalf5253]

I for one thought the scorpion lady was kinda bad

[@Looney123]

Spider lady clears

[@Gravelord_Nitto]

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.

And there's a chloranty +2 I'm shaded woods fog area, Also go in macula talk to the get get the ring of whisper to talk with the scorpion man

[@Looney123]
