Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin New Game +7 (journey 8) is where the scaling stops in this one. i'm on a journey to play through the maximum new game plus (where the scaling stops) in each dark souls game (and dark souls adjacent game). maybe sekiro shouldn't count, but it's such a breath of fresh air after a ds2 playthrough. i've already done most of them. after DS2, all that's left to finish off is a final run of both Sekiro and Elden Ring (now with DLC)
highest finished cycle in the quest: Demon's Souls NG+5 (max), DS1 NG+6 (max), DS2 NG+6, BB NG+7 (past max), DS3 NG+15 (past max), Sekiro NG+6, Elden Ring NG+6
i'm also on twitch lol
