Estoc: 10 hours, 11 deaths.
Everything else: 30 hours, 160 deaths.
Bestoc indeed
Thrusting swords really do be OP in Ds2
In thrust we trust
Maybe because he done the ez part with estoc
Probably has a lot to do with him having terrible gear, underleveled weapons and an increased difficulty level.
@@YukiIsntGoat and maybe also because thrusting swords are unfair in ds2
The car invader was genuinely one of the highlights of watching this run live. 10/10
I think he invaded RTgaming during his DS2 streams, too.
check RT's(rt gaming) run by stupid means there is so many invading people that just play prophunt with him, i think you ginna like then ahah
OF ALL the things to have your first death to, it's a group of 4 semi-passive trash mobs LMAO
Tbh these are the most descriptive mobs in the game :D
@@NovaTrap1312 Nah, guess you missed the frozen DLC hedge hogs that stun lock you to death.
@@Leafwink haha funny sonic guys totally didnt make me ragequit :)
Sonic shitters were making me go crazy, they're basically wheel skeletons from DS1
Aggy at the beginning: oh this is actually pretty nice, I forgot how fun DS2 could be
Aggy at the end: fuck this, fuck you, fuck me, fuck this game
The usual DS2 experience :P
It’s not even because of DS2, it’s because the wheel he was using is about as far from random as you can get lol, it’s one of the worst wheels out there
163 rolls, 8 options, each thing came up about 20 times
I mean he was the one who chose to play it in the covenant of champions and to also spin a wheel to delete equipment.
It is a sad looking game
Surprisingly, Scholar of the First Sin is the only version of Dark Souls 2 that I've played so in a way this is the "normal" version
I've also only ever played SOTFS and I don't feel like I missed out on much.
@@MatthewStevensOrMattDave enemy placement in vanilla is better imo but scholar has some qol changes
@@ridero4812 Pretty much this.
@@ridero4812 The only thing I hate the most about SOTFS is the Dragon not lunging at you in Aldias, that was so awesome in Vanilla
Edit: Yes I know it lunges at you if you light all lights, but who does that? And its not the same.
Some things ( mostly enemy and item placements ) doesnt make sense in sotfs, I think both version are equally good.

I've once been invaded by the Raptorius F22
Also by
Sir Shrek the third.
I love how you can pinpoint the exact moment when he starts to lose his mind
Iron Keep and onwards to be precise
I remember watching the part of the stream where he was trying to find the key that allows you to go to the sunken city DLC and he finally broke down and let chat have 1(one) back seating moment and they didn't realize had missed a step and told him the wrong thing to do so he went on a 2 hour long goose chase in which he was seething the whole time and it was extremely funny. 10/10 would watch that happen again
Omg
😂
It's not that they missed a step, it's just he specifically asked where the key was. Sure, it was behind a locked door requiring a key from another area, but it was where chat said it was.
The three main causes of death in Dark Souls 2:
Hit boxes
Poison
THE HOLE.
I feel hitbox is less and Adp i frames are the issue. Not saying there aren't bad hitboxes, but some people either roll early and blame hitboxes. Also I wish they kept the poison speed in the sequels, it's op af.
@@xeno6416 Poison in Elden Ring you can genuinely forget is there. Dark Souls 2 Poison is what Scarlet Rot fears.
@@thejohnhopkinscompany9599 yeah, after you mentioned scarlet rot i'm actually glad they didn't implement the ds2 poison speed in Elden Ring....

Johnny English face plant fuckin' KILLED ME XD
Funnily enough that was perfectly in character for the actual Johnny English.
He took a dive for the content
We absolutely need more videos on casual stream runs, especially a rando no hit video.
Agreed
i was hoping he would make a video about the run but apparently not
*Fights Pursuer* “That boss wasn’t as shit as I remember!”
The game: “Well, that’s fortunate for you…”
The Pursuer is the ultimate "Oh he really wasn't that bad" boss. I remember when I started playing and he clowned on me left right and center, I had to rely on summons and the ballistas. Now I can take The Pursuer down naked with just a dagger. He telegraphs all his moves, his moveset is very learnable and consistent, just some jank DS2 hitboxes that take getting used to.
really the only difficulty is low early game ADP. if you do the dragonrider cheese and pump your agility to ~95 the pursuer is very enjoyable to fight imo
DS2 was my first souls game, and since the last giant was a bit of a pushover, the Pursuer was my first experience of getting stuck in a souls game. I hated him so much at the time. And even after I finally killed him, I was so mad every time a new one appeared to chase me around. But I realized later that he was actually a great tutorial to souls combat, and when I played DS2 again years later after playing the other souls games, I really enjoyed the fight. It's really well telegraphed, and once you get the hang of it there's a really fun rhythm to the fight. A+ boss imo
Yes. Please upload more casual runs. I miss a lot of streams and often don't even have time to try and watch full vods so an edited video of a run would be great.
Activates the covenant that makes everything do almost double damage.
Complains about damage
Aggy the wise
On the one hand, lotta funny moments came outta the gear loss challenge and Champion's Covenant. On the other hand, kinda wish Aggy gave Scholar a fair shot without making his experience a living hell, lol.
yeah, i really dont think im invalidating his criticisms, but it may be a bit sensationalist to mock people for enjoying a thing when your experience with it is a self inflicted extreme handicapping. cant upgrade items, cant buildcraft at all, spends upwards of half an hour on boss fights, having to delete any equipment you find fun, you aren't really allowing yourself to enjoy your time
@@PotatoTortoise Except alot of his complaints are not related in any way to the challenge run. Why are the runbacks so bad? Why is the weapon durability so low? (it's low even in a normal damage run). Why is the movement so clunky? Why are the bosses so bad? Why is the enemy placement so bad?
@@harioschtroliki complaining about runbacks is absolutely related to the challenge run and the only time he mentioned it was kings pets, weapon durability is a billion percent related to the challenge run and champions covenant, dont remember him talking about clunky movement even once, 'why are the bosses so bad' (whatever that means) is also a billion percent related to the challenge run, and i dont think he complained about enemy placement either but champions covenant also exacerbates that too.
my point is that doing an extremely tilting challenge run for your (effectively) first playthrough is inherently going to negatively affect your take on the game, and i worry that he's just never gonna revisit the game because of it. i also do not think it was fair for him to mock people thinking that some of the bosses were good because he's sitting there cracking a whip at them for 45 minutes and getting one shot due to his challenge. i also do not at all exonerate dark souls 2 because it is deeply flawed and criticism is abundant as long as you're fair about it
Literally NONE of his complains were about his weapons doing no damage because the wheel forced him to use bad weapons. His complains was about how the game is garbage, which is true.
@@PotatoTortoise Wrong, he complained about the Sir Alonne run back as well and this is a cut video from a 40 something hour playthrough. Weapon durability will be exasperated by doing a run like this but it is absolutely a DS2 problem and I'm convinced you have never actually played the game if you think it isn't. He did complain about the clunky movement at the beginning when his character had delays turning around. Bosses being bad is also exasperated by the challenge run but it's also a normal run problem. You can go with this argument that no one would complain about these things if they just breezed through the game with the most broken weapons but I'd say these games weren't meant to be played like that. Also it's his first time playing SoTFS, he already played vanilla DS2 and never came back to it until now... it's safe to say he never held the game in high regards and a normal run of SoTFS wouldn't change that as it's basically the same fucking game aside from some enemy placements and a shitty final boss.
Ah, Forlorn, all of our beloved. You aren't Fencer Sharron, and that's good enough.
It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize the Scholar of the Fists In [sic] cover had Forlorn on it.
wait WHAT?
"Why does the boss have more health than I have durability?"
My brother in christ, you joined the covenant of champions!!! That was you!!!
Yeah that was something that bothered me a bit. Doing this challenge run when you don't remember anything about the game really did handicap him a lot since Ds2 definitely has a much larger emphasis on setting up your build correctly.
@@nathancurnutt8074 Yeah it was very frustrating to watch him constantly complain and get mad about self-inflicted problems like the challenge, covenant of champions etc.

>Does challenge run
>Complains when things are unbearably difficult
What did Aggy mean by this?
Yeah, no sympathy here. I skipped every stream of this for a reason.
The game constantly spamming you with mobs is unrelated to his challenge run's conditions lol
@@EziooAuditore Skill issue, git gud.
@@loughtthenot that's not a relevant response. It's incredibly lazy difficulty. It's the laziest way to increase difficulty : just putting more enemies all around you that'll all pop up as you cross a certain limit. Instead of crafting difficult encounters against a few difficult enemies. That is bad design considering what these games are actually capable of. The one way to deal with the games mobs are to run back to a tighter corridor and engage everyone one-by-one or two at a time. So the gameplay isn't designed for it. That's why it's bad design on top of being lazy.
@@EziooAuditore I'd argue the only place it becomes an issue is Iron keep. A lot of people don't like ds2 because you can't just run past all the enemies to retry a boss. I think that's where most of the ds2 pve frustraion comes from. You're almost doubley punished for failing a bossfight. It's one of the few things I dislike about darksouls, the runbacks to some of the bosses can be downright cruel. Seth, Smelter Demon, and Ocierous come to mind as particular examples of horrificly awful boss runbacks. It's a problem that Elden Ring solved beautifully with stakes of Marika. Love all 3 souls games but they all have flaws, it just feels disingenuous to rag on a game for its difficulty when the game was never meant to be based around constantly getting new, less upgraded weapons, armor and rings.
Aggy: they seriously don't give you a torch?
Also Aggy: completely misses yhe one they give you in the tutorial right beside the bonfire
the most funniest thing about DS2 is that the boss music stops at the exact frame the boss dies
11:11 Sonic the Hedgehog when you select him in character select
The key takeaway here is:
• DLC contributes the most death; from 50++ to 163.
• Estoc and Red Iron Twinblades is so goated while it lasts.
• Aggy go from appreciating the game to disdain it as he summarizes it in the end - first half is great; the second half is messy and strange in term of executions.
• Covenant of Champions ruins the experiences for blind + challenge playthrough. Luckily Aggy didn’t rejoin the covenant for Lud & Zellen fight for his sanity.
• Frigid Outskirts is still the worst area in souls’ series.
• He manages to beat all the boss + challenges 3 times faster than me lol
frigid outskirts, iron keep, and shrine of amana are the three worst areas in any fromsoft game and its not even close. makes laggy blighttown seem enjoyable. that being said, the rest of DS2 is nice and is definitely worth playing. people always hate on it saying its the worst but its leagues ahead of ds1 and des
Aggys summary is just wrong. Ds2 is absolutely an unfinished game but it doesn’t get noticeably worse in the second half at all, unlike ds1. Don’t take opinions about ds2 from a guy who blames the game for 90% of his genuine fuckups just because he made it harder for himself while also not being good at the game in the first place. As many others have pointed out, it is very weird seeing him complain constantly about shit that is absolutely his fault. That’s just the ds2 stigma though. Ignore the problems of the other games because they’re the “good” ones, and then whenever the tiniest issue or inconvenience or rage happens in ds2 it’s always because it’s the “shit” one.
Rant over. I am very passionate about defending ds2 :)
@@Nightmare-pj4fg well, you right. DS2 is not that bad after I finished it. At first time I seen many hatred to this game, I feeling wrong after buy it on steam. But, after I manage to enjoy it, it feels so good. I don't care again about it's clunkyness, bad hitbox, or many poor boss. I think this game have it's own place as other soulsborne did the same to us.
@@Nightmare-pj4fgI feel like you're trying to pretend DS2 doesn't have 10 years of documented flaws. The hit box issues, the constant spambush, the unfair deaths the game throws at you like the well or the ogre slamming through the door, reusing enemies and bosses from DS1 as bosses and enemies in DS2, the lazy boss design that involves putting putting mob enemies in the fight, like the Royal Rat Authority or Duke's Dear Freya, or or just having most of the bosses literally only having like 4 moves, the stupid way they put enemies in view of bonfires that agro onto you like at sinners rise, the way lock on doesn't work for any enemy that's low to the ground, the absolutely resource management (getting a titanite slab from something like the congregation, which also demonstrates the lock on issues)
It's absolutely a super flawed, not good game.
@@Punkandcannonballer I addressed all of that already idiot. To me, someone who has actually played the game an extreme amount of times and enjoys it just as much, I would say that in most cases all those criticisms are complete bullshit. Read my comment again. All you described was the stigma of ds2. Stigmas can be wrong. Most of ds2s criticisms come from people expecting a bad game. People who actually play the game understand it a lot more and can also point out how many critiques of ds2 are not unique to ds2, or just false,
For instance. Hit box issues are a non issue. They don’t really exist. In 99 percent of cases it is adp that is the flaw, not the hitboxes. In fact, in ds2 you can literally duck under enemy attacks by simply doing a running attack. That is how good some of the hitboxes in the game are, but no it has bad hitboxes because I watched a CZcams video saying as much. As for the jank, yeah it is an unfinished game that, like ds1, has lots of jank. That is a valid criticism. A nuanced criticism that is not one usually stated when complaining about ds2 as opposed to the far more slanderous “bad hitboxes” argument.
Same for ganks. As I already said if you’re facing more than 3 enemies at a time in ds2 then most of the time that’s on you. That or you’re failing to see some kind of puzzle. I have never once been overwhelmed in the entirety of the game.
10 years of playing the game with a mindset that the game sucks while ignoring positive feedback and nuanced points doesn’t equal 10 years of valid experience. Especially since your sample size is . . . What? You really think that your anecdotes of a negative ds2 experience from a few popular CZcams videos or hell even a lot of CZcams videos just erase the existence of all the POSITIVE experiences and feedback ds2 has received? Just because they’re less popular doesn’t mean that isn’t too part of the 10 years of ds2 experiences.
Yo Aggy, just letting you know that you didn't have bad luck with loosing your weapons. It's just that the spinning wheel you are using is known for having faulty RNG generation which is why I always tends to land on the same options.
its funny that he joked about the lore of the iron king dlc key placement but it is with fume knight's greatshield so it kinda makes sense.
this is my fav souls game but i def wouldnt have done champions covenant with this challenge, esp for the dlcs
Honestly it just grows on you at one point
didn't grow for me lol
@@EziooAuditore nice name i just started playing assassin's creed 2 😅😅😂😂👍🏻
It definitely does, replaying this is so much fun after you get past the initial experience
Woof, I replayed it for the first time in many years and I thought it was even worse than I remembered. I think it has aged horribly.
Stockholm syndrome
Finally the best darksouls
This is my favorite Fromsoft game after Sekiro 😭
DS2 is a game you either love in spite of itself, or don’t.
Something just won't let me not love Ds2 despite its many problems
or you just love it cause it's a good game. Ds1 is jammed full of issues too, to nearly just as bad of an extent. and i ended up not liking it because it makes no effort to stand out from demon's souls
@@Rosy_bun What issues do u have with ds1? The only low effort area I can think of is Lost Izalith.

There was no fucking point in having the wheel if it just made you hate playing the game even more. It just made watching this so frustrating.
Covenant of champions really did him dirty
If the videos are edited at the same level of quality as these usually are, then I would not mind the "more casual" runs to end up on this channel too!
Dark souls 2 is a great game with cool areas and amazing fashionsouls and this is a hill i will die on
I love Dark Souls 2 because it is just pleasing to look at. There are so many vibrant colours in it. Dark Souls 3 has just the same mash of grey brown and red
1:02:30 fighting guardian dragon just looks so hilarious after stuff like placi fortissax and lansseax
Yeah. Imagine not spending 1 hour running after the bitches 😮😮😮
1:34:20 ok but Fume Knight is fucking awesome
Johnny English was lore accurate
Watched this run live, truly one of the best
streams I ever watched Iron keep was so good
ayyy aggy finally playing best souls lets go
21:30 “Best PvP in the series though”
Its true tho. Weapons are balanced super well and every build is viable. That's a network problem, not a PvP problem
DS1 - insta backstab chains
DS3 - instakill hornet ring + chaos knife
ER - press L2 to win.
Yeah ds2 beats them all ngl. Bad internet connection leading to phantom hitboxes is equally broken in every version.
I have never seen Mirror Knight summon so many times! He has never summoned more than one time while I was fighting him
The Casual runs are nice too! Definetly would love to watch more of it.
Ds2 is my difficult but eternal love
Y'know the explorer gear with the estoc just looks kinda right, really looks like a guy who calls people rapscallions and scoundrels.
Must be nice playing the best souls game ever for the first time. I particularly love Iron Keep, Frigid Outskirts, and Shrine of Amana!! :)
the coop areas really sucks when you do them alone, but when you try it with friends are actually pretty fun and cool
I won't try and say ds2 is amazing, but aggy complaining about the game while handicapping himself by deleting equipment every death and activating the covenant of champions isn't fair lmao. "why does my weapon break before the boss does" because your weapons aren't upgraded as much as they should be and all the enemies and bosses are ng+ level
44:28 that one is entirely on him, when you completely run out of stamina it takes a while before you are allowed to sprint again in all 3 Dark Souls games as well as in Elden Ring, he also just walked right off the platform for no apparent reason.
The time before you can sprint again is unreasonably long in DS2. While I can't speak for DS1 as it's just been too long, DS3 and Elden Ring are no where near as long of a wait as DS2. As well, in DS3 while Holding the sprint button from 0 stamina takes a few seconds to allow you to sprint (around the same amount of time it takes to return to full stamina at 10 endurance) you can actually let go and re-press the sprint button early to run at any point after your stamina has returned to a positive value (as it dips into the negative when you consume too much).
ive been playing a lot of ds2 sotfs lately so it was a joy to see this pop up in my feed
Definitely enjoy the casual playthrough videos of souls games. Thanks for uploading!
while DS2 has its flaws let us never forget what it gave us: Majula and best fashion souls
In all seriousness tho, as this was my first ever Fromsoft game, I still have so much love for it. ‘Twas fun getting to catch these streams
Also:
-best NG+ mode: some bosses have extra attacks, there are new enemy ai phantoms
-DS2 is still the only FS game that have full functional left hand, even ER, while having power stance still has DS1/3 left hand
-IMO best magic: unlike DS3 & ER in DS2 you have to level up attitude to stuck many scrolls of the same spell to multiply its numer of use. In DS3/ER you only need maximum 3 slots in PvE while in DS3 both sorcerer and pyromancer have 2 slots from start and in ER all classes have 2 slots.
Dark Souls 2 is actually my favorite out of the Souls series and I always feel so alienated for having that opinion because most people fucking hate it 😅
@@iiBenihime me too
Commenting to say we need more Casual'ish runs (Challenge included)
to date this was my fav aggy stream. was like watching a thriller with how badly chat was trying to help and failing
Epic run :D also those edits are AWESOME heheh, good job
Oh my god its an actual video now!!!! Love the vods but 2 hour video is yum
Im super happy it's up since the VODs expired before I could watch them all!
Aggy: Game is kinda great.
DS2: And I took that personally.
Nah, CoC and challenge on the fist first run, bro.
Aggy: *enters the Covenant of Champions*
*sucks at the game*
Also Aggy: "ThIs GaME suCkS" 😂
I thought you were going to half ass this run but you went above and beyond! Very well done! If you didn't have my respect before, you sure do now.
The Semon of Dong editing @57:07 is peak comedy. @yojosherino killed it again.
Wait, hol' up. Does pro-DS runner Aggy not know how the torch mechanic works in DS2?
Yes! I missed the stream for these so I’m glad you made this!
I didn't know I need this video. This is awesome!
Aggy: does a playthrough where enemies have more health and do increased damage, while not wearing armor or rings, and using the worst weapons in the game
Also Aggy: wow, this game is so frustrating!!!
LMAO, 10/10 would watch again
1:15:50 You are in the covenant of champions fighting vendrick without a fully upgraded weapon that also specifically tells you it has low durability as it is a katana that also lacks burst damage. IT IS NOT THE GAMES FAULT YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF DURABILITY XD
these streams were so entertaining, thank you aggy.
2 hour video is so fking HYPE
Was he playing on PC? The durability is tied to frame rate which is why the durability was impacting him 😂❤
THANK YOU OH MY GOD
@@blasttyrant3228 np 😊
It was fixed in Scholar.
The black crypt sword was by far the highlight of my DS2 playing
I liked that you could get a merchant to come to majula who sells life gems, and you can buy infinite amount to cheese heals. Loved the video
Yes, we want more videos!
DS2 is like the Nickelback of the souls games: You make fun of it and its enjoyers not because it's bad, but because you can't not make fun of them
i think aggy got the perfect storm here
an experienced, confident challenge runner
a game said runner is both unfamiliar with and doesn't respect
extra difficulty mode activated
the most bosses of any fromsoft game
the potential for devastating setbacks with every death
and as much as i love and defend DS2, there's no denying the jank factor
first time i've ever seen someone fight dragonrider and not make im fall to his death in the arena entrance, kudos Aggy
aggy looks massive in the thumbnail, lookin good!
Eh. I don't think it's entirely fair to shit on Ds2 the entire time when you impose restrictions on yourself about deleting equipment upon death.
this game is ass
@@mintyblur better than the first one
@@zackmash851 not even close. Bad hitboxes, bad bosses, the existence of lifegems, nonsensical world design, spammed enemies everywhere that ambush you, some of the worst boss runbacks and worst areas in all of FROMSOFT games etc, all make DS2 a much worse game than DS1.
@@EziooAuditore the hitboxes are bad, but the level design in ds2 is better than ds1 at the expense of the overall world design, the bosses in ds2 are much better designed than the bosses in ds1, and every dark souls game is plagued with awful runbacks but at least ds2 lets you permanently remove the enemies by killing them enough times if you're having that much of a struggle. DS2 is a much better game than DS1
Do you guys even play DS2? The hitboxes are better than DS1 and less inflated than DS3, the only broken hitbox is the giants'. "Bad bosses" is a subjective opinion. Not liking lifegems is again a subjective opinion. Literally every game has ambushes everywhere, and once again complaining about the number of enemies is your subjective opinions. Runbacks are bad in every From's game except Elden Ring where they got removed entirely, don't bother cherry picking. "Worst areas" according to who? Your subjective opinion. So your only objective critique is the bad world design, which we agree on.
It's always the same shit: opinions presented as facts, parroted blatant lies like the hitboxes ones, complaining about issues all Souls games have in common as if they were DS2 specific, and players refusing to adapt to the systems of a different game.
Like we get it, you like more, that doesn't mean DS2 is bad. Repeating what the mob says doesn't make it true.
In DS2, getting to the boss is half the boss fight
These casual streams are nice, even with the challenge attached to it. It is fun to watch!
covenant of champions make the game harder ????!!!!!!!!!1 man i didn't know that i dies like 10000 times
So when in the CoC, enemies have more health, damage output and damage resistance. Also, summons (even NPC ones) are disabled, and infinite respawns are enabled instead of the normal "kill an enemy 12 times and it stops respawning" gimmick DS2 normally have.
I'm in the process of getting the platinum trophy on this game on ps5 right now. 2.5 playthroughs seems to be required for it. Have fun Aggy
You got this!
I got the platinum too, there are lots of guides that can help you with it :)
If you're playing on steam always keep it online, because it didn't record 2 achievements I got when I accidentally went offline.
Best of luck with your challenge!
very entertaining, thank you for all your work
Me see DS2 content. Me watch the full 2 hours. Me go out satisfied when I see Aggy almost popping a vein
I hope he realizes that the wheel always lands on the same side so it keeps giving the same 1 or 2 choices and that he needs to shuffle it a few times every spin
He, in fact, does not realize that.
@@jak199527 yeah but i hope he does for future videos
Oh hey, it's the best souls. Nice
cant wait to see no death no bonfire run from aggy, best of luck.
I did a double take at the shrine of amana boss title. Fantastic work, yojosherino.
My worst souls memory was finally reaching the two tigers after god's knows how many attempts just for my weapon to break mid fight on this shit easy fight and dying while looking in my inventory for repair powder
The B-Team sure had a lot of fun. The work life balance is strong with this team.
Chicken leg gaming
I'm inclined to agree with Aggy about the jankness and enemy spam. Even if you play it slow, you can draw in too many enemies, the sudden spikes in difficulty and figuring out where keys are without a guide is MADDENING.
**HOWEVER**
My dude, YOU decided to put a challenge on yourself TWICE. Getting rid of weapon-*categories* or armour OR RINGS, for every death in a semi-blind first playthrough is going to be devastating and YOU accepted the Company of Champions. Weapon degradation, the runback and more would've been less of a problem without enemies having double the health.
I'm not saying the game is perfect. It is RIDDLED with bullshit. But this was not a fair shot in the first place.
But Imagine learning how to play a sport but you say it's too hard even though you decided to punch yourself in the balls randomly.
Of course it was frustrating.
I'm not sure what was expected.
Anyway, love the vid :D
Beautiful clip, I enjoyed it very much, thanks for the clip
inb4 Aggy remembers how busted Hexes were in DS2.
Ds2 is more of a strategy game than the other souls games. Gotta kill every enemy 1 by 1 and bring a shield to combat questionable hitboxes
Couldn't agree more!!
Here's a fun and inventive new challenge run idea
Just play the game normally if it's your first time playing it
Also, why is everyone out here with such a hate boner for DS2? It's great
I only ever played Scholar until recently I played through vanilla on my “switch games on death” playing through all the games minus Sekiro and Demon Souls, I didn’t really notice any big differences honestly besides being able to fight Ornstein early because you don’t need to kill a giant dragon
This is Great! More of this kind of content please
Streamers be like; "Ds2 Sucks!" My brother in Christ, you self imposed a challenge that resets your build every 5 minutes, turned on hard mode, and are playing semi-blind.
Pretty much nothing he complained about had anything to do with the challenge. Him deleting his gear doesn't remove any of the oodles of bad to questionable design choices implimented.
@@rorekthedemon He would be complaining far less if he was able to pick a build and actually stick to/optimize it. You tend to complain about things when you're putting yourself through a hellish challenge for content.
DS2 isn't a perfect game, and it's objectively the worst entry of the series, but it's not a bad game and many of his complaints boiled down to subjective shit.
Yeah he had a point sometimes but often it felt like he was just letting the horrible mood he was in due to constantly having to toss his hard work out the window affect him.
@@zath6425 No, I did DS2 normal and complained about the same things. Bad run backs, bad bosses, bad enemy placement, bad mechanics like delayed fog gate i frames, the movement is bad. Like you can love the game, pretty much every souls game has a slew of shit that they mess up, but him sharing his distaste for the game isn't "letting a bad mood in".
@@rorekthedemon save a handful of awful designs, ds2 has some of the best bosses of any fromsoft game and improved a lot on the movement of ds1
@@rorekthedemon He complains about the dmg he's doing, the long drawn out the fights are, and bosses repeating the same few moves. Bosses (not all) in other games have a few noves as well, but since you have a decent build you don't find it tedious or annoying when seeing it a couple times compared to seeing it 10-30 times with a garbage build like he is using now.
I swear to hell i basically insta click off of videos when people constantly complain about the game they are playing instead of highlight it's attributes; with some fair criticisms. I haven't watched the full video yet, so hopefully it won't come to that.
But imagine watching me playing like Pokemon red/blue and the only thing i talked about is how janky it is and all that, it wouldn't be a fun video.
tbf though if a game is all janky then it’s simply all Janky. it’s like playing pokémon and violet and acting like it’d actually a good game when it’s seriously not
Big fan of these compilations being on youtube!
With all the invasions that followed him, surprised no one was able to get summoned for the Looking Glass Knight
haven’t started the video yet but im so excited‼️ Sotfs is in my top 3
