How to Get the Moonlight Greatsword in 1 Boss (Dark Souls 2 Edition)

[@Jp-gl9gi]

Something about ds2 always brings me back I couldn’t tell you what it is, but after playing all the souls games ds2 just has that hold on me

[@Voingous]

cool cat

[@artofwar420]

It’s the only dark souls game I’ve played more than twice.

[@Jedbullet29]

Same guys, the sheer fashion and character customisation was second to non. Hell I made a green hulk and people in the bridge were like... Woh what? And then i'd parry them with my giant club lol

[@ltManifesto]

It was my first souls game for me so it always has a special place in my heart....crazy how they say it's the worst in the series but at the same time made me obsessed with the genre

[@davidmadera009]

because is the best game

[@iamnot39]

At long last, the Prowling Magus skip. Now the rest of this masterpiece isn't gated behind a challenge for sweatiest of nerds, and all of us regular people can finish it! Jokes aside, thanks for the video, it's really fun.

[@CBFaoladh]

This is a great showcase of DS2 glitches, only note I have is that you didn't need to grind out those souls for that first parrywalk, you could've done it later because you can get the fragrant branch of yore with a well placed jump and enough vigor, then you can farm a later place for more souls.

[@ottr765]

You actually don't "build up speed" while parrywalking. Instead, your visual position and your logical position are two different things, and parrywalking only disables collision for your logical position. But under certain circumstances, your visual position snaps to your logical position, which looks like you're going really fast.

[@forcedintofemininity]

Finally giving the pursuer another reason to pursue you: “Hey, you skipped our boss fight”

[@MoonSystem-They-It]

This is going to be pretty funny, because in terms of bosses "interacted" with to get MGLS, it goes in a 1 2 3 order across the trilogy

This was only uploaded ten minutes ago, yet KZbin recommended injects this into my feed the moment I start looking for a video to watch while I wind down. Kind of scary that it knows exactly what I want...

[@Daxxelxz]

1:40 Tip for this type of descent: attack close to the drop to control your fall

[@peacockli]

Seems like the KZbin algorithm blessed me with a real gem, great video and explanations! DS2 is still the most interesting souls game by far for me, so many odd item/weapon/armor effects and interactions that allow for silly glitches... Looking forward to more videos!

[@TicketxBooth]

I love your commentary style and voice. It’s like watching How It’s Made but for Dark Souls strats lmao

[@thechosenflutterbox]

4:19 there's actually a different riposte animation you can trigger; if you press attack right after a parry (you may need to take half a step forward first), while the enemy is standing and flailing their arms and before they sit down, you'll do a 'standing riposte', similar to ds1 ripostes. And I think they're a little faster than ds2's sitting ripostes. The enemy can also be in the middle of falling and you'll pull them up for the standing riposte. But once they sit down, you can only do the sitting riposte

[@kallebsilva7474]

Nothing can beat the seasonal urge to play Ds2

[@WoobertAIO]

iirc the most efficient way to gain souls without killing bosses in DS2 is to farm the giants at Black Gulch. There's a trick that lets them respawn over and over, but I don't remember how it's done. Ymfah does it in his "Tips for starting out in Dark Souls 2" video (which is hilarious btw), so there's that. Cool video regardless m8

[@cam-inf-4w5]

Committing murder just for boosted drip while speaking so logical and calm about it like young sheldon is a new fear i never thought would be possible

[@torqueblue]

The Faceplant, The Death Jittters of the first Knight, the walking on air. I still don't know what's going on but I enjoy watching glitches and funny/fun stuff. well done!

[@cinema_roll6296]

I really like the torch mechanics in ds2

[@alephnole7009]

The way I always farm early game is in Heides tower but in the big circular room with a good shield you can stand on that lip next to the door and bait all of them to fall into the water.

[@AlsoMeowskivich]

It's only appropriate that butterflies fly

[@Gindray]

I really liked the part when you were floating in the air 👌🏻

[@cam-inf-4w5]

Also with the old knights the easiest (if you dont want their armor) Is to stand outside the main cathedral in the corner with a shield before the broken up bridge and in the doorway. You dont need 100% phy shield to survive. Or for fun jump the gap between broken up bridge (1st lever) and the stairs railing and get them to attack off the ledge. You can also curve them during their combo by crossing over their middle line on their back They will swing in an s shape if you do this and walk away from you, off a ledge.

I once didn't kill the basilisks next to ornifex and they cursed her before I could talk to her. Pain

[@dixnyomouff6982]

I started playing again and I was on my way to get her. For some reason I just forgot it was her behind the door and I started swinging. Fuck those frogs they freaked me out and made me kill her i swear

[@cuba1061]

Thanks again Bob

[@swoch185]

You could have done the persuer duplication for the soul farming. Would have saved a lot of time. But i guess that's not a very known glitch yet

[@splee5556]

@@swoch185 Cool glitch! Not sure if I could have done it since I never killed the Last Giant.

[@swoch185]

@@splee5556 No, the pursuer glitch works by having Last Giant alive. Then going into giants arean and going out again. Now you rest at the bonfire and go up the platform where pursuer lands from flying in with the bird. You can now kill him and get the his souls and the boss soul. You now get off the platform and quit out. You can now repeat this step and kill him again. Found by me and a couple of friends 😄

[@splee5556]

@@swoch185 Oh, sweet! I assumed it only worked by entering the Pursuer's arena. But definitely handy if it also works with the Last Giant's!

[@TwixtheFox]

If anyone wants to do this, but would like better estus, theres a fragrant branch in the tutorial area. You can get a shard from the tutorial area using the fragrent branch on the statue.

[@681mile]

25k alternative: knight, get a yolo with life ring + noob ring and take a jump at the forest, go to shaddy wood and get some souls consumable

[@cr4shOverr1de]

Good video, it was interesting to watch.There is an easier and more reliable way of farming in Heyde's tower, but you can get a branch via turtle or parrywalk in FOFG and go immediately to shadow woods , before najka can take 5 pieces of 5000 souls that you need in the beginning. I think 99.9% of players won't repeat your route it's too hard and long. It's easier to kill najka and skip magus, there you will find titanites and ascetic. We end up with 1 killed boss and a sword in 30 minutes .

[@w_sogeking]

I accidentally killed the night at 7 mins he doesn’t spawn after that is my run bricked?

[@splee5556]

I think the only way to get him to respawn is using a bonfire ascetic unfortunately.

[@w_sogeking]

@@splee5556 oh boy you know of another way to skip to Aldias keep?

[@splee5556]

@@w_sogeking I thinks it's possible by Moonjumping as well. But I'm not sure how hard it is to do.

[@ashen-one--x]

i didnt get the real moonlight greatsword because i thought you had to summon the guy and have him win 3 boss fights with you.

[@cam-inf-4w5]

Itd be a lot faster to get the dragon rider to fall of the edge of his boss room for those souls by standing still upon entry then when his foot hits the 2nd to largest ring roll right across the gap and let him lunge into the water Then possibly burn ascetic and do again (Nvrmnd i see you dont wanna kill bosses so this is for anyone else for a tip)

[@Crit-Multiplier]

you can jump to the fragrant branche without the moth Set piece

[@setsunaes]

yes but if you do that you loose points in fashion

[@isaias36]

[@Blusterberry]

My favorite part is the unnecessary Shrine of Winter skip. You could've just ground enough souls to go through, but that wouldn't have broken the game enough.

[@mynamesjunnie9729]

How do you Parry walk? I cant find a guide that helps? Parry-reposte-back up, and jump? Im confused

[@splee5556]

@@mynamesjunnie9729 You need to parry an enemy, then position yourself in a specific way relative to the enemy. For most enemies, you want to move directly diagonally away from them until you're near their foot. Once you're there, press jump and riposte at the same time. If you jump straight over the enemy, you've done it correctly. It's easier to do with either keyboard, or with the controls on your controller rebound. I have an Action Set in Steam Input that rebinds my D-Pad to WASD and L1/LB to jump.

[@rugalbernstein7822]

In reality, 10 adp is enough for similar I frames to a medium roll in the previous souls games so instead of an egregious 31 adp you can put the other 21 levels into vigor, stamina and/or vitality (or y’know, intelligence for the moonlight greatsword)

[@billyboyer3]

10 ADP only gives 88 AGL or 9 i-frames (assuming low attunement). DS1 medium roll is 11. Plus, a lot of players are going to want the equivalent of DS1 fast roll or DS3 medium roll, which is 13 i-frames. And you can get that with 31 ADP (105 AGL). So no, I wouldn't call his investment egregious. Having a generous amount of i-frames can be a very helpful stat investment.

[@hydroxide6552]

10 adp gives 9 i frames. that's like fat rolling in DS1.
