@PressContinue2 жыл бұрын
@vamsi krishna krishnaraj Well old knight greathammer does the most damage per hit but is also slow, really heavy which may interferes with your other equipment and breaks after only a few hits, so in general it's best to knock enemies to the ground. It's a circumstantial weapon. The homonculous mace, the bandit axe are better versions of the mace and hand axe, and of course the rapier is one of the best weapons in the game if you ask me. Get flynn's ring in the sunken king DLC for 50 extra AR and the vessel shield is one of the best stat boosting gear items. Peasant set, mad warrior mask, vessel shield, simpleton ring, flynn ring, RoB+1 is a great setup, which leaves one ring slot open depending on weapon, dex ring for rapier, or any ring you like when using bandit axe or homonculous mace.

Random piece of trivia: While the Looking Glass Knight and Demon of Song are weaker to dark than to lightning, the latter damage type (lightning) is more effective in practice due to both bosses being in water (LGK is in rain and DoS is in a small pool), which decreases their lightning resistance by 150 points, making it deal more damage overall; just thought that was worth bringing up

I just came back to Ds2 after a few years break and I decided to start with a SL1 run and it was easier then I anticipated, I even went to get the vessel shield and ring of the embedded which was totally worth it. The Ivory king DLC was not easy to run through since I hadn't touched the game in years and struggled to remember the route. Honestly the hardest part of this run was farming the Mad warrior mask! Farming it almost made me go crazy he dropped every armor piece + berserker blade before I got the mask.

A tip for the gank room in Brume Tower you dealt with at ~ 1:46:00 is that all of the foot soldiers in Brume Tower are considered undead/hollow, thus you can distract them with an alluring skull. And the Golem that guards the lever attacks slow enough that you can bait it out and hit the lever without needing to kill it. Or you could kill it with the crossbow and just use the skull for everything else.

@Agenta-df3gb3 жыл бұрын
As always, some excellent gameplay with some very close calls. However there is one thing I wanted to mention. Earlier this year (or maybe last year) there was a reddit thread I noticed with an... interesting Dark Souls 3 challenge. The challenge itself is that outside the first three bosses (which must be Iudex Gundyr, Vordt, and Curse-Rotted Greatwood in that order) you must kill each boss with an infusion item of the previous boss (AKA you must kill the boss after Greatwood with an infusion item from Greatwood, and then the boss after with an item from the previous). Obviously respecs are allowed at any point in the run, but the challenge-creator did say that the use of the Infinite Respec glitch is prohibited. The only other things are what to do with Vordt's Soul and what level to be. Personally I think Vordt's Soul should be a "get out of jail card" which you can use to get yourself out of a bad situation or save respecs. Level is arguable, obviously, but over-leveling can trivialize the challenge. I was wondering your thoughts on this challenge. Not specifically asking for you to do it, just to give your thoughts and ideas for boss order. I think the early game is set in stone as Greatwood, Crystal Sage, Abyss Watchers, Deacons, then Wolnir. But the rest (ESPECIALLY THE DLC) IDK.
@PressContinue3 жыл бұрын
So you mean that you each boss has to be defeated with a bossweapon from the soul of the boss you defeated before that? Wow... that's an interesting challenge. I'm not sure. Stats are going to be a hassle but upgrading is even more of a problem. You're not going to have enough titanite scales to upgrade everything and once you can buy them, they costs way to much. So interesting, but quite a grind. Also halflight and gravetender don't drop a soul to begin with. Any% would make more sense I'd say. Also, Yohrm without stormruler is a pain in the dick, especially with a non or not fully upgraded weapon. Whichever one.
@Agenta-df3gb3 жыл бұрын
@@PressContinue Yes. Boss weapon or spell acquired from the boss soul. Also I believe the original creator mentioned that Halflight, Gravetender, and Stray Demon don't count, but all the rest do. And I think their original intention was Any%, not DLC. I think spells and respecs can counter the upgrade problems, but yes you would probably not be able to gather enough Scales without absurd grinding to handle upgrading the weapons, even with using spells as much as possible. If anything I think the real issue would be Yhorm, as you said, and dealing with the stat requirements of certain boss weapons/spells. Also if the DLC is done, what bosses you "save" for the DLC content is arguably the biggest hurdle. As doing Demon Prince with Friede's Scythe is a stats nightmare and require an immediate respe, but doing it with Soul of Cinder's weapon would also be hell because AFAIK that weapon is fire damage. And you don't want to have to do Midir or Gael with Demon's Scar so you have to save Nameless King till later. Or stomach using Moonlight Greatsword on Friede to save a respec. Also for NG I think this challenge would require an absurd amount of planning (and likely tial and error) so if anything I think it's more interesting as a NG+ challenge where you can level enough to equip the weapons without respecs, and hopefully upgrade enough weapons so your damage isn't bad.

Since you dont cover the dlcs here and the part 2 is out yet. The rest I will somehow figure out myself even thought its gonna be a challange.

Could you, or have you already done, an all bosses SL1 guide? I want to do an all bosses SL1 run, but tbh I don't really know they all are and I don't have the strategies for traversal through all the other areas that you didn't cover in this video 😅

With the Sunken King Crown, you can reach 32 strength while two handing in DS2. That's enough for the Greatsword.

No way! If you finish the the game in SL1 the music changes? DS2 may not be my favourite, but that's awesome.
@PressContinue3 жыл бұрын
Wait what? What do you mean? What music change? Because if that's the cause I myself was completely unaware of it.

Best Souls 2 is finally getting some attention! I was wondering if you were ever going to do any DS2 content, since the only stuff on your channel was the SL1 Broken Straight Sword playthrough. Assuming it's not your favorite Souls game?
@PressContinue3 жыл бұрын
No, it's my least favorite souls game. I do still like it a lot though. But not as much as the others.
