  • Dark Souls 2 Hex Only "Guide"+, your Goth Gf is finally here, again.
    All footage was captured on the most recent DS:2 SotFS Patch (PC)
    This was very experimental (for me) with editing, tried to do more "show don't tell". Also the purpose of the run was lost at some point, but it was a good time using my personal favourite magic in the souls series, hexes.
    ▶Big up to Ymfah, the editing style + the consumable only trick with Fume Knight.

    Been here since you were a tiny channel of a few hundred people doing a melee-only 1shot ‘guide’ on DS1. It’s been absolutely awesome seeing not just your growth in viewership, but seeing you improve and find your own style. Things like the part graphics, colour choice for some words, even the music shifting to become more low-tempo than in those early days, taking more steps away from your inspiration.
    Best of all, your vids are still as good now as then, keep it up.

    As someone who had done a hex only run, congrats! A lot of people may clown on it, but there’s definitely difficulties working with a certain damage source. Like fighting the mage killer lions before scorpioness. Or Fume Knight. God Fume Knight was so tough, with like 80% resistance to dark. Shit was brutal. And yeah, Dark Orb is just godly as a bread and butter spell. The fact it does poise damage, stunning enemies and making distance is crucial to its effectiveness. Hits like a truck for damage too.

    Gotta leave a comment to help with the algorith, this video really deserves it. You went way up and beyond I expected for what looked like just an easy challenge run, great video.

    Great guide! It should be noted you could definitely streamline then No-Mans Wharf section either by using a bow to ring the bell because technically you’d still be doing a pure hex damage run because it doesn’t deal any actual physical damage to anything. On that same not you could also make use of the cheese for the initial Pursuer encounter making him fall off the edge and skip to Lost Bastille that way.

    36:11 is such a great scene especially when the music kicks in at just the right moment.
