I'd like to add: -Farm Prisoner's Set and Tseldora Set for souls and Item Discovery -Kill the Warlock Mask lady in the Shrine of Amana (near the shrine of life) for a shot at the Warlock Mask and Cursed Bone Shield -Kill the other NPC's that drop spells and other things that would normally require NG++ -NPC murder and Licia of Lindheldt crushed red eye invasion. -Lead a little piggy down to Brightstone Cove mushrooms for the pickaxe. -Get any NG+ items I want for the run using Bonfire Aesthetic -Farm 999 of each elemental arrow you need (poison put 999 in the box and buy 999 more) -Get rid of my sin using the one time cleanse from the priest above the chapel Gonna edit this as I go, finding more and more crap. Maybe get the rings that make your armor invisible. But the NG+ stuff will come after I make that run. Just wondering/deciding what to use my ascetics on. I hear the covenant weapons/spells are NG++ so that sucks...
not sure whether he gives chaos set but he gives forbidden sun, unleash magick and resiatanses ring whis ir really useful, also he old lot of good stuff like Thunder Quartz Ring +2, Black Witch set with great resistances and good hedpiece but why not complete his quest, then set him free for invasions?
Also a good idea would be buying all the cool boss armors from the vendor in Majula and kill all the npc's for their loot. And of course upgrade all your gear to max. You can also farm upgrade materials in Dragon Aerie.
I don't understand why anyone would think armor is important. It's not fundamentally more important to the game as opposed to things like effigys or soul vessels and it's not important for any trophies so therefore it doesn't make this list.
One thing that you ALWAYS need to do, the very last thing before you sit at the bonfire and go to NG+: Kill all the NPCs. Don't kill Melentia though because you need her to buy the NPC armor from. Then kill her and go to NG+.
Ben Johnson Invading and killing the host= 1 sin Killing an NPC or aggroing an NPC= 1 sin If you are at 10-99 sin, you are branded a sinner At 100+ sin, you are branded a wretch and your max HP can go to 5% instead of 50% When you are branded as a 'sinner' or 'wretch' arbiter spirits can start invading you. Being killed by an arbiter spirit or dying while an arbiter spirit is on the map removes 1 sin. (I think once you are branded a 'wretch' you cannot get rid of that status)
also I think it is better to: - ensure that estus flask is a it's best and upgrade it if it's not 12 flasks +5; - kill all optional bosses for souls and stuff, next time they will be stronger; - use all fragrant branches, they will not go to NG+(n); - visit optional areas for extra stuff; PS: effigies can be easily farmed from dogs in lost bastile, mosters, lurking in water in shrine of amana, just don't forget to increase item discovery
I have never seen that cell in the Castle. I saw the lever and 5 signs telling me to not pull it but I did it anyways. No wonder I keep getting invaded by the same person every where. Just like how I rung the bell in the stairs before Velstadt and Vendrick without knowing it releases ghosts.
So, killing the Fire Keepers won't mess up my NG+? And I accidentally released Navlaan before all sources told me not to. I'll be able to do his sidequest the next time around, yes? (I won't free him this time xD)
I beat Raime this weekend. Now I think I'm ready to move to NG+. I got all the armor and weapon that dropped, I bought all spells just in case. Only thing I messed up is not getting Alsanna's Soul and the full Loyce Set, as I killed Ivory King and now I can't handle the constantly coming Charred Loyce Knights without the four helper Knights.
I guess you also should collect all the items you missed in NG, especially rings, because they will help you a lot+you wouldn't need to collect them again :)
another great way to get human effigies in hosting a fight club. I had like 5 and i went to the bridge in iron keep and in less than an hour i got more than 60
The firekeeper that re-specs gave me 6 human effigies after I killed Vendrick so I don't see any reason to kill them, plus the fountain thing in the shrine can turn me human in case I run out of it.
My additions ; -Getting Seeds of a Tree of Giants- 1.Navlaan ; after questline, I release him. Then go to all the places he invades you. After each invasion, I check if a Seed of a Tree of Giants has sprouted. 2. Go offline and get invaded by the 2 BellBro and 2 RatBro npc invaders, check for seeds. -Getting Cracked Blue Eye Orbs- 1.

Reinforcement unnecessary since Lenigrast is available almost immediately in ng+- -Complete Pate and Creighton questline for the Engraved Gauntlets- -Kill every npc, leaving melentia, Cromwell and Shanalotte until the last second. Buy any npc gear I like from Melentia, then kill her. I save Cromwell for last second in case I flub up and want to de-aggro an npc. Important; don’t kill the covenant leader of the covenant you want to carry over into ng+- -Get the Ancient Dragon soul from memory in Freya boss arena.- -Repair everything for free at the Pagan Tree in Shulva-
I dont know if someone mentioned that in comments but FYI after killin Nashandra you can buy infinite chunks from Chloanne not just 10 as you mentioned
Oh put what we recommend we’ll 1. Get as many repair powders as you can 2. Farm ruin sentinels at the bonfire at the last fight 3.farm bosses for more souls with the bonfire things 4.find every boss o or story dlc bosses (if you have the dlcs) 5. Complete all quests and then kill all npcs 6. Find all illusion walls 7. Try to get the pickaxe well just for a challenge 8. Get better at parrying so you can parry bosses next time 9. Get kings armor and soul 10. Farm dragon bones and twinkling titanite and. 11 try TO FU##ING KILL the ancient dragon without rage quitting
@@PierreLucSex I don't remember this comment I just got help from my past self......but the best place even tho it's a pain would be the area before the ancient dragon with all the little lizards and the three dragons.
@@PierreLucSex also idk why I said parry the bosses im sorry to anyone if they tried it. Not to you tho unless you tried it I'm sorry...only the pursuer you can parry them.
i do every quest, i get the alternative way for naavlan, buy every human effigy i can find, kill every NPC in the game except for melentia and shannalote and then buy all their armors and then kill melentia and then level up and kill shannalote along with everything on this list :P
this is really old video too,so hopefully lots of people learned the hard way. 2020 , so im no nube, been playing it since it came out, own, 1 2 and 3,and ll content.
I have a nice way to farm human effigies. I pulled the lever to release Navlaan (yeah I know I am dumb). But just go to king gate bonfire in the forest of the fallen giants and he will spawn there. Kill him and you get a human effigy. While you are there, you can also go into the memory of the giant and farm souls by killing the giant lord. If you come back out of the memory, burn a bonfire ascetic. Navlaan will spawn again, so kill him for the human effigy and go intp the giants memory again. Since in the giants memory, the bonfire ascetic respawns every time you burn it, you can do this infinetly and farm an infinte amount of souls and human effigies
Any way you could make a video on your build? You're using very high level magic, have decently heavy armor, are rocking my favorite weapon in the game, AND have a nearly obscene amount of health and stamina. Seems you've covered most bases, and since I'm starting anew on Scholar of the First Sin, it would be nice to start working my way towards a similar build.
Tyler Kyle here's the thing buddy, my build might be a little misleading. The footage you're seeing in this video is of me on new game plus 2 or 3, I can't remember which exactly but I know it's one of them. That being said I've made a hell of a lot of money in all those playthroughs which in turn allowed me to look like an unstoppable brute that can also cast spells. If you tried to attempt this build in the first playthrough it would divide your points too much because I have a lot of points in several different things. Health, stamina, vitality so I can wear the heavy armor and still be quick, and enough strength and dexterity to wield the moonlight greatsword which can only be obtained on new game plus or higher. I would recommend for your first playthrough to just focus on putting points into intelligence, attunement and Health as your main focus until you're strong enough to afford putting points into other things.
Ahhh okay, thanks for the help! I plan on burning an ascetic to get my moonlight great sword early haha and I'm going to use the soul farming method in one of the giants dreams to get massive souls (its like 500k each run through). so far I've just beaten the looking glass knight and am having hugeeee health issues like a damn fool, so I'll take your advice on upping health, attunement and intelligence from now on haha (: thanks again!
No problem, and hey if you enjoy my content for the entertainment factor I'm doing a let's play on scholar of the first sin if you wanna watch it, but if not that's fine too, good luck
oh my God thank you so much for this video. Being the fool I am, I used all my Soul vessels before I actually needed them and now fight a constant battle with the game in areas that are much harder than they should be, simply because I have half a health bar. now, having no use for the bonfire keepers in this play through, I'm going to kill them in order to get the soul vessels. I didn't know this was a thing you could do, and I wish you good luck on your CZcams career
i have thought about it but there's a couple reasons why i havent. reason 1, it's kinda late, its best to do that kinda thing when the game just comes out. reason 2, bloodborne is a good game and i enjoyed it, but not as much as the souls games so there was a bit of lack of motivation
Collect all the spells you can, farm the hell out of gulch for chunks and (BIG TIP!!!) Shrine of Amana 'Rhoys resting place bonfire area, I farm twinkling titanite and old radiant gems EASY using a couple great fireballs then finish em with Forbidden Sun or whatever. Best place, run by stupid acid things n kill healer first or she'll heal all 3 you wanna kill outside door... Before NG+ get Hexer hood... My favorite, if you're a mage, you want it, period... Get all the armor you want too obviously. check CZcams for hidden walls. Buy everything, but farming lowers soul memory.. screw effigies, use a ring of life protection it costs 3k to fix if you die unlike ring of sacrifice in ds1... Farm the dogs right next to the area where you break wall where the blacksmith is...
already pulled the lever but he did tell me to kill gallavan....and i killed him....i didnt join any covenant so i get human effigy every time i defeated an invader so i got about 57 something right now
you don't have to kill the fire keepers, once you beat Vendrick (I think, not 100% on that) if you go back and speak to them they will give you the 6 effigies.
KILL THE DARKLURKER!!! (Covenant of Dark storyline) If you want to get all achievements you have to kill the Darklurker to get her soul and she is one of the game's most difficult bosses. Trying to kill her on NG+ or more is extremely difficult. Also its difficult because you can't get multiplayer help.
Does it really matter if it's magic or fire damage? Isn't it even better to split it when it's already nonphysical? Besides you get more total damage *and* a better scaling...
Yes: better (for example) 400 magic damage than 250fire+250magic. The damage is split between fire and magic defences, in the second option, while in the first it's ALL magic, so only magic defence cares. Of couse, then we could say something about buffs, and in this case you're right, but remenber that MLGS can't be buffed.
Defences are percentual, not absolute values. Elseways you did zero damage if your attack value was under the resistance value. But obviously you can't deal zero damage with a hit. But when it's percentual, the average resistance counts. So if the other one hasn't insanely high fire resistance, it deals more damage.
+gh16499 Only necessary if you're doing a speed run or no bonfire/death run of the game and starting a new character completely (people always start with the explorer since that class starts with witching urns which kills Maughlin quickly). You can farm those spider hollow things in Tseldora if you want for the Tseldora set without needing to kill an NPC who sells good armor like he does (unless you've already gotten all his armor then I suppose why not?). There's other armor you can get that increases souls gained from wearing it: the Warlock Mask which is a rare drop from two non-respawning enemies and probably not worth the trouble in trying to get, the Nahr Alma hood and robes which you can get from Tetchy Gren from either 1) getting 500 total successful kills in the BoB PvP arena without losing or else you get docked a point and fuck that shit 2) the better method, killing Tetchy Gren, who is an asshole and deserves to die anyway, he's all about that blood so let him get soaked in his own; he either drops his armor or you buy it off of Melentia, one of the two. And finally the Jester's Gloves, which you can buy off of Magerold in Iron Keep. So if you somehow managed to get a Warlock Mask or you have the Nahr Alma Hood, the Nahr Alma Robes, the Jester's Gloves, then all you need is the Tseldora Trousers along with a Covetous Silver Serpent Ring of sorts then you're good to go for soul farming!
Strowen, the old lady at the head of the table that lets you respec with a Soul Vessel, will give you those 6 Effigys if you talk to her after getting the King's Ring. No need to kill her (I think...).
if you talk to the one that respec's you she'll just give 6 effigy's that and it's a pain when you want to respec and you have to pay 15000 souls just to lvl up
then you cant rank up or change your stuff with vessel because you killed main pc's, just farm the effigies, from majule, from skeletons, were you found that soul vessel, bonfire Ascetic, farm them, go back to majule, burn in bonfire, x10, gives you almost a 100 effigies, or it did myself.
this way is the safest and easiest, the skeletons get harder and harder, come like 5-6 at one time, but at least you don't have to play hacks, cheaters, op tricks, impending low lvl people ect, trust me almost a 100, 10 x, bonfire ascetics , farmed, burn in bonfire in majula, and keep killing the skeletons. and know need to kill old defenseless, women, unless your really hard up and suck at dark souls. actually no need to kill any NPC's, as you progress, they all give you all there stuff, armor weapons, aged feather from emerald chick, don't kill them cause there is consequences for your senseless actions, and sometimes the souls to bring up phantoms, to deal with them just more waist of game time and souls, 300,000, at a time to bring back old gal to do the vessel thing that's getting up there.
So I released Navlaan from the jail. When I start NG+ does it restart? Now that I know Navlaan's side quest is a necessity i want to choose to not release him. Or is it too late?
Live Bands in Toledo yes but it looked like i was deflected off the witches themselves... hence why its funny -_- ooohhh youre so clever, not really tho, just ruining a good joke.
Thomas Balloon I'm wearing syan's armor, it can only be obtained by having the syan knights drop their gear. As for where the old fire keepers are, I mean they're at the very start of the game, and you have to see them in order to advance the game, you can't miss them.
I got the maximum possible ammount of effigies by 3 days straight doing that (every time I went online for about 4 hours). 99 on bonfire 99 on inventory
+Kody Cook Nope, the one you're thinking of that Benhart of Jugo carries is a weaker smaller version of the one in my video. You can only get this one after beating the duke's dear freja on new game plus and having him drop the paledrake soul which you can then use to make this sword. Alternatively if you're impatient you can use a bonfire ascetic on your first playthrough to make freja be as strong as it normally would on new game plus and drop the paledrake soul but this will permanently increase the difficulty of the boss by one playthrough so if you wanna go that route be prepared for the consequences I hope that helped
+Obito Uchiha it releases him from his prison. This makes doing his side quest impossible and he will repeatedly invade you in every location you visit. Never pull that lever, it just sucks there's no reason to do it.
When the far fire gives you the ability to start ng+ Chloanne has infinite amount of titanite chunks for sale.

I'd like to add:
-Farm Prisoner's Set and Tseldora Set for souls and Item Discovery
-Kill the Warlock Mask lady in the Shrine of Amana (near the shrine of life) for a shot at the Warlock Mask and Cursed Bone Shield
-Kill the other NPC's that drop spells and other things that would normally require NG++
-NPC murder and Licia of Lindheldt crushed red eye invasion.
-Lead a little piggy down to Brightstone Cove mushrooms for the pickaxe.

-Farm 999 of each elemental arrow you need (poison put 999 in the box and buy 999 more)
-Get rid of my sin using the one time cleanse from the priest above the chapel
Gonna edit this as I go, finding more and more crap. Maybe get the rings that make your armor invisible. But the NG+ stuff will come after I make that run. Just wondering/deciding what to use my ascetics on. I hear the covenant weapons/spells are NG++ so that sucks...

also,he's using an Int build without infusing his weapons with magic
What's even worse is that the weapon is MLGS which really, really wants to be magic infused since it lacks physical scaling.

Harith Azmi is it me or does it feel worse killing npcs than invading noobs and ruining their game session
I think I really did pull that lever..
+Sunny Durrgen I honestly enjoy the extra invasions more than the chaos set
+Sario guilty... i pulled the lever too
+Juan Flores you cant do his quest if you pull it... and you have to wait till new game plus to try again and remember not to pull it
not sure whether he gives chaos set but he gives forbidden sun, unleash magick and resiatanses ring whis ir really useful, also he old lot of good stuff like Thunder Quartz Ring +2, Black Witch set with great resistances and good hedpiece
but why not complete his quest, then set him free for invasions?
I pulled the lever and then found out what he would do. Then i murdered him because i am a bad person.
if anyone doesn't know already, after beating Nashandra, Chloanne sells INFINITE titanite chunks.... so maybe dont try to buy them all
Also a good idea would be buying all the cool boss armors from the vendor in Majula and kill all the npc's for their loot. And of course upgrade all your gear to max. You can also farm upgrade materials in Dragon Aerie.
jengaaaaa As cool as that would be that's not reeeeally as important as these things I've listed.xD
GawdlikeMatt True. These were the main points. Just adding some minor details.
jengaaaaa i feel your points are more necessary than the video's. I love dat boss shit, and upgrade materials.
Id say boss armor is pretty important. I killed raime for his armor and weapon.. Went to sleep immediatley after. Forgot to buy them b4 ng+. Fml.
I don't understand why anyone would think armor is important. It's not fundamentally more important to the game as opposed to things like effigys or soul vessels and it's not important for any trophies so therefore it doesn't make this list.

sin carries over to ng+
+NotSo “MLG” Quikscoper sin?
Ben Johnson
Invading and killing the host= 1 sin
Killing an NPC or aggroing an NPC= 1 sin
If you are at 10-99 sin, you are branded a sinner
At 100+ sin, you are branded a wretch and your max HP can go to 5% instead of 50%
When you are branded as a 'sinner' or 'wretch' arbiter spirits can start invading you.
Being killed by an arbiter spirit or dying while an arbiter spirit is on the map removes 1 sin. (I think once you are branded a 'wretch' you cannot get rid of that status)
oh ok, I was wondering what incurred blue invasions
+NotSo “MLG” Quikscoper The guy near door's of pharros or Brightstone cove can forgive you're sins lol
Dude has a sorcerery / magic build and hasn’t infused his staff
I never infused staff. Becouse i forgot it can be infused
@@hutrputr what the fuck is an infusing
@@bakiresiz you use Magic stone to enhance the power of your staff you do this in mcduff bonfire

I plan on burning an ascetic to get my moonlight great sword early haha and I'm going to use the soul farming method in one of the giants dreams to get massive souls (its like 500k each run through). so far I've just beaten the looking glass knight and am having hugeeee health issues like a damn fool, so I'll take your advice on upping health, attunement and intelligence from now on haha (: thanks again!
No problem, and hey if you enjoy my content for the entertainment factor I'm doing a let's play on scholar of the first sin if you wanna watch it, but if not that's fine too, good luck
Do u get sin for killing the firekeepers, as I have non and dont wanna gain any
beautiful ending
What is that armor if you don't mind.
lmao 4 kings music...
oh my God thank you so much for this video. Being the fool I am, I used all my Soul vessels before I actually needed them and now fight a constant battle with the game in areas that are much harder than they should be, simply because I have half a health bar. now, having no use for the bonfire keepers in this play through, I'm going to kill them in order to get the soul vessels. I didn't know this was a thing you could do, and I wish you good luck on your CZcams career
+Jackson Cordray thanks a lot dude, I really appreciate that. youtubin' aint easy
GawdlikeMatt I assume you play on pc?
actually im strictly console, more specifically ps3/ps4
+GawdlikeMatt dammit. I play both souls games on 360. also, have you thought about doing bloodborne? it is after all, a souls game exclusive to ps4
i have thought about it but there's a couple reasons why i havent. reason 1, it's kinda late, its best to do that kinda thing when the game just comes out. reason 2, bloodborne is a good game and i enjoyed it, but not as much as the souls games so there was a bit of lack of motivation
Collect all the spells you can, farm the hell out of gulch for chunks and (BIG TIP!!!) Shrine of Amana 'Rhoys resting place bonfire area, I farm twinkling titanite and old radiant gems EASY using a couple great fireballs then finish em with Forbidden Sun or whatever. Best place, run by stupid acid things n kill healer first or she'll heal all 3 you wanna kill outside door...
Before NG+ get Hexer hood... My favorite, if you're a mage, you want it, period... Get all the armor you want too obviously. check CZcams for hidden walls. Buy everything, but farming lowers soul memory.. screw effigies, use a ring of life protection it costs 3k to fix if you die unlike ring of sacrifice in ds1... Farm the dogs right next to the area where you break wall where the blacksmith is...
Dlc's change something before ng+?
already pulled the lever but he did tell me to kill gallavan....and i killed him....i didnt join any covenant so i get human effigy every time i defeated an invader so i got about 57 something right now
If you speak with Navlaan while human, he treats you as a friend.
Lol seeing you do all that is kinda funny
i bought 198 chunks before ng+
didnt kill the hags, forgot them
you don't have to kill the fire keepers, once you beat Vendrick (I think, not 100% on that) if you go back and speak to them they will give you the 6 effigies.
+DrPapaPenguin you don't have to kill vendrick you just need the Kings ring.
Or that. Couldnt remember the details
+DrPapaPenguin I think it is what I said because in my first few runs of the game i never killed vendrick however I collected 9 effigies from them.
KILL THE DARKLURKER!!! (Covenant of Dark storyline) If you want to get all achievements you have to kill the Darklurker to get her soul and she is one of the game's most difficult bosses. Trying to kill her on NG+ or more is extremely difficult. Also its difficult because you can't get multiplayer help.
+Peterplayingguitar why 'her', male figure and no tits
+Peterplayingguitar darklurker is easier then most of other bosses atleast for me
+MrExelCZ was a bitch and a half for me.......almost every other boss was first try dead
+BADxCARMA exactly! I had to do it on NG+. It took a very long time and a lot of patience but i got through eventually.
+LeadCodpiece Never really noticed or looked closely enough. Just seemed like a kind of evil angel. Guess i was too busy avoiding the attacks.
i actualy dont even want to start an ng+ at all yet. Im only gonna do that once i obtain everything in the game
some things are only available in ng + though
Just a tip: you should infuse your MoonLight GreatSword with magic. Its int scaling becomes "S"
Better: Infuse with Fire. You still get an S scaling on magic *and* an A or B scaling on fire.
Yes, but you know, split damage...
Does it really matter if it's magic or fire damage? Isn't it even better to split it when it's already nonphysical?
Besides you get more total damage *and* a better scaling...
Yes: better (for example) 400 magic damage than 250fire+250magic. The damage is split between fire and magic defences, in the second option, while in the first it's ALL magic, so only magic defence cares. Of couse, then we could say something about buffs, and in this case you're right, but remenber that MLGS can't be buffed.
Defences are percentual, not absolute values.
Elseways you did zero damage if your attack value was under the resistance value. But obviously you can't deal zero damage with a hit.
But when it's percentual, the average resistance counts. So if the other one hasn't insanely high fire resistance, it deals more damage.
Kill some npcs that can give you special items for example, the tseldora set, the npcs will be back in ng+
I never knew what souls vessels did so I think I ended up selling 3 of them to Gavlan.
Maybe kill the armor vendor for the extra soul armor (if you havent done that already)
+gh16499 Only necessary if you're doing a speed run or no bonfire/death run of the game and starting a new character completely (people always start with the explorer since that class starts with witching urns which kills Maughlin quickly). You can farm those spider hollow things in Tseldora if you want for the Tseldora set without needing to kill an NPC who sells good armor like he does (unless you've already gotten all his armor then I suppose why not?). There's other armor you can get that increases souls gained from wearing it: the Warlock Mask which is a rare drop from two non-respawning enemies and probably not worth the trouble in trying to get, the Nahr Alma hood and robes which you can get from Tetchy Gren from either 1) getting 500 total successful kills in the BoB PvP arena without losing or else you get docked a point and fuck that shit 2) the better method, killing Tetchy Gren, who is an asshole and deserves to die anyway, he's all about that blood so let him get soaked in his own; he either drops his armor or you buy it off of Melentia, one of the two. And finally the Jester's Gloves, which you can buy off of Magerold in Iron Keep. So if you somehow managed to get a Warlock Mask or you have the Nahr Alma Hood, the Nahr Alma Robes, the Jester's Gloves, then all you need is the Tseldora Trousers along with a Covetous Silver Serpent Ring of sorts then you're good to go for soul farming!
Crazy I found all the soul vessels, but I sold 5 of them to gavlan
I have like 99+99 human effigies, in the bonefire storage and inventory lol
Anybody can explain me if i start a new game plus the souls of giants i found in the dead giants just dissapear?
+Gustavo da Silva Brito you keep the souls of the giants when you start new game plus, no worries dude. you wont lose em.
3:29 scared the shit outa me
You're pretty good. Subbing.
+Godot why thank you
also after beating vendrick you get unlimited titanite chunks
3:27 aaaand that kids is what they mean by hard headed
Strowen, the old lady at the head of the table that lets you respec with a Soul Vessel, will give you those 6 Effigys if you talk to her after getting the King's Ring. No need to kill her (I think...).
u can talk to her AND kill her which gives u even more
Did not know that, dude. Thanks!
if you talk to the one that respec's you she'll just give 6 effigy's that and it's a pain when you want to respec and you have to pay 15000 souls just to lvl up
when you go to NG+ how do you keep your things you get throw the game
page here lists everything you can and cannot keep darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/New+Game+Plus
7:23
I'LL NOT GET DOWN THAT EASY!
*gets down*
how do You attack at this speed
Whats that blue sword/green sword?
Moonlight greatsword
Melentia- Me-len-cha
Me-len-t-a
David The Dog muh lent ya
David The Dog Me-len-chia
It's Meh-len-sha lmao
I thought it was me-len-chia
I dont need this cuz i'm on ng+ 5 But i have no clue so i'm gonna whatch this
That music scared the shit out of me
+konstantin bratkov 4 Kings music from DS1. I think it's kind of catchy.
then you cant rank up or change your stuff with vessel because you killed main pc's, just farm the effigies, from majule, from skeletons, were you found that soul vessel, bonfire Ascetic, farm them, go back to majule, burn in bonfire, x10, gives you almost a 100 effigies, or it did myself.
this way is the safest and easiest, the skeletons get harder and harder, come like 5-6 at one time, but at least you don't have to play hacks, cheaters, op tricks, impending low lvl people ect, trust me almost a 100, 10 x, bonfire ascetics , farmed, burn in bonfire in majula, and keep killing the skeletons. and know need to kill old defenseless, women, unless your really hard up and suck at dark souls. actually no need to kill any NPC's, as you progress, they all give you all there stuff, armor weapons, aged feather from emerald chick, don't kill them cause there is consequences for your senseless actions, and sometimes the souls to bring up phantoms, to deal with them just more waist of game time and souls, 300,000, at a time to bring back old gal to do the vessel thing that's getting up there.
Demons souls soundtrack. Good choice
Thank u
So I released Navlaan from the jail. When I start NG+ does it restart? Now that I know Navlaan's side quest is a necessity i want to choose to not release him. Or is it too late?
+Derek Hurst on new game plus it'll be fine he will have reset so dont worry. all mistakes are forgiven on NG+
Aww cool thanks
rambling level: infinite
You dont have to kill those poor old ladies in order to get the HE. You can farm a lot in PVP against invaders or red signals
not now lol
does starting a new game plus restarts your progress in the game?
+James Olarte yes but you carry over most items and gear with you
you realized you were bouncing off do to the fireplace and table right?
Live Bands in Toledo yes but it looked like i was deflected off the witches themselves... hence why its funny -_- ooohhh youre so clever, not really tho, just ruining a good joke.
Build?
what armor is that
its the syan set, it only drops from the syan knights
Shards and sublime bone dust
No one needs that many soul vessels
Oh, and also max out your stats and get every single item in game (including dlc items, without having the dlc) because it's too easy like that ;>
I might sound like a noob but what armor is that you're wearing ??
PS : sorry for my english
+hullubaloo100 It's the syan knight armor, you can only get it as a drop from the enemies wearing it
+GawdlikeMatt ok thanks it never dropped for me :((
what does tgn stand for?
+Zachary Malone I believe it is Twitch Gaming Network based off the color scheme, but I am not sure.
I ignored the sign and released Navlaan.
admiral kizaru music :)
where?
Gets soul vessels to reallocte points kills only way of reallocating points
Execute order 66. A classic.
What gear are you wearing where you are killing the ladies for effigies? :o
Thomas Balloon I'm wearing syan's armor, it can only be obtained by having the syan knights drop their gear. As for where the old fire keepers are, I mean they're at the very start of the game, and you have to see them in order to advance the game, you can't miss them.
GawdlikeMatt Right down the road.
You an get a shit ton of effigys from hosting a fight club, even if you don't fight you get a ton, in about half an hour or so i got like 30
I got the maximum possible ammount of effigies by 3 days straight doing that (every time I went online for about 4 hours).
99 on bonfire
99 on inventory
that blue sword he has, do you kill the knight who has it?
+Kody Cook Nope, the one you're thinking of that Benhart of Jugo carries is a weaker smaller version of the one in my video. You can only get this one after beating the duke's dear freja on new game plus and having him drop the paledrake soul which you can then use to make this sword. Alternatively if you're impatient you can use a bonfire ascetic on your first playthrough to make freja be as strong as it normally would on new game plus and drop the paledrake soul but this will permanently increase the difficulty of the boss by one playthrough so if you wanna go that route be prepared for the consequences
I hope that helped
Thank you very much. That was extremely helpful
no problem. that's why i make teh vidz
Um the first soul vessel you get it inside the chest in the basement not on the skeleton, the skeleton gives you estus flask shard
juan Rodriguez if you had annotations on you would've realized I already corrected this mistake.
GawdlikeMatt "mobile users"
Dumbass GEEKS xD I jk
my question is what so special about ng+ other than difficulty and some new spells
+Ak47 there's also new enemies in places there wasn't before and you have access to new weapons as well.
GawdlikeMatt i guess id give it a go,
you should
I pulled the lever befor i talked to navelin (or whatever hes called) I didnt know what it did
+Obito Uchiha it releases him from his prison. This makes doing his side quest impossible and he will repeatedly invade you in every location you visit. Never pull that lever, it just sucks there's no reason to do it.
GawdlikeMatt I know what it does
lol things I should've done before NG+, stuck on sinners rise on my sorcerer now ugh
How did that went?
CidGuerreiro1234 not good. Can't even get to the damn boss. And when I do, I CNT HANDLE THE RED NPCS AUGH
nope nope You on PC? Depending on Soul Level/Memory I might help.
CidGuerreiro1234 I'm on ps4
im farming sun medals so I have the time to help you. My psn is JBF-07 and my soul memory 2 million add me if you want
