  • A good start for any build, makes the rest of the game pretty easy.
    You can go back to Felkin later to buy more spells, and the chime you get from killing Licia is pretty good for hexes.

    Dark Souls II: The game where you can get to level 40 by beating one merchant to death, punching another off of a tower, and getting a massive soldier with a halberd to kill himself not once, but TWICE. Just one of the many things that makes this game amazing.

    • @tigerheart6
      @tigerheart6 Před 8 lety +10

      But why do you have to kill the merchants? Maybe I am asking a silly question

    • @justmonica9253
      @justmonica9253 Před 8 lety +28

      +tigerheart6 The armour he received increased soul yield, so he earned enough souls to level up enough for hexes. He killed the other one to get the lockstone, which gives quick entry to the hexman. Killing her isn't exactly necessary, though, but you will have to spend another 2000 souls to get to hexman.

      you normally should just play and test things. kinda the point of souls games. that said seems like most people do walkthrough stuff, and the game can stump people. The man that sells the hex's in that cave requires you to have a certain amount of FTH & INT . The exact number escapes me, but without the proper stats, or items, etc. There are SEVERAL npc's that won't talk to you. Like the scorpion dude for example.

      you can also go in, wait as far on the left edge as you can.... he will walk to you and then do his thrust attack... dodge it to the right and then go onto the mainplattform as far left as you can so that there is much open space between you two... he will then try to walk towards you again and fall of.
      Its much saver than the one in the video... on the one in the video you are save dead when you fail. the other one lets you proceed the battle so that you can try fighting him normally when you fail to bug.....

    Just tried this on SotFS and it works. Took a couple of attempts to make the Dragon Rider fall.
    I do suggest that after you beat him the first time you go back to Majula and level up so if you fail the second time you don't lose your souls. They also moved the placement of the praying npc so you have to punch her to the next opening first to push her off . Otherwise she will just fall downstairs and come back up to wreck your shit.

    Tip : kill the old knight with sublime bone dust both the times that way you can get 2 of them right away, and also lower the bridge to old dragon slayer. possibly try to beat orenstien on base difficulty with the gold pine resin you get at starting area near the ogre as it becomes a living nightmare to get to him in +1 difficulty and you get more souls and beat him before you cheese dragonrider as it has no risk of losing souls of dragonrider.

      Dark Orb's one of the best PvE spells in the game. Everything else either has few casts (miracles, pyromancy, soul spear) or has had its damage neutered (most sorcery). If you upgrade the sunset staff and pick up more dark orb casts when you can, it will absolutely carry you through the game with ease and even NG+ and beyond. For those (very) few spots where you might have trouble, you're already set up to use sorcery and miracles so you just have to find and attune the spells.

    • @Lionbug

      wut?? it does practically no dmg on my char? hmmmmmmm

    • @KoboldCommando
      @KoboldCommando Před 9 lety +12

      Lion Reichelt Not sure what would be the cause there. If you have high int & faith (20/20 is good, 30/30 is better), and a sunset staff +5, it should do a really nice amount of damage for how fast it is and how many casts it has, apart from some enemies with particularly high dark resist. In NG+ it may not one-shot stuff, but you can easily toss 2-3 at an enemy, especially given that it staggers most things. You can buy it three times too so you can have 60+ casts by the end of a playthrough.
      Just checked on my high level character (balanced int/faith). Dark orb with a dark sunset staff +5 does somewhat less damage than a great heavy soul arrow using a magic staff of wisdom +5, and about the same damage as a lightning spear using a lightning dragon chime +5. It's got a speed advantage on both of those, and has about double the casts of GHSA and several times what you get of lightning spear.

    • @Lionbug
      @Lionbug Před 9 lety +1

      KoboldCommando
      then maybe its because i used a normal staff + 10 my soul arrows did more dmg with that so i thought it was incredibly bad

    • @KoboldCommando
      @KoboldCommando Před 9 lety +15

      Lion Reichelt I checked it out again (just because I like hucking spells at things!) using the black witch's staff (same modifiers for everything). Dark Orb does the same damage (against basic hollow jerks who I'm pretty sure have no damage resistance) and has the same cast number as Heavy Soul Arrow. The main differences are that HSA will travel farther, but Dark Orb casts noticeably faster, and is larger (so you can hit stuff easier.) The dark sunset staff +5 also has the strongest modifier of any casting tool in the game, which is pretty significant considering the magic and lightning equivalents have really high requirements and are really late-game, in the dragon shrine and Pilgrims of Dark covenant respectively.
      I guess what I'm saying is it's kind of a middle-of-the-road spell at face value, but it's got a lot of little things going for it that add up, and few of the downsides that hurt other spells (low range is the only real problem with it).
      Also, one thing to watch out for if you're comparing spell damage is that spells can get headshots, and get a pretty significant bonus from it. Tall staves like the sunset staff make this quite a bit more common since the spell will usually be angled downward.

    Only difference is hexes hit for a good deal less, but this is still a great way to start the game regardless of build.

This is more for someone just looking to quickly set up a second character, imo. Killing NPCs in general means you'll miss out on something or another. In the case of Maughlin, you're basically missing out on all the boss armors he sells and a set he gives for free, for like 10k souls or something trivial like that. It's a nice early game boost but not worth it in the long run if you care about those armor sets at all.

      His armor set gives more souls per kill. I'm pretty sure you can get his set later on as well as other sets and rings that do the same without killing him. I do not endorse killing NPCs. Makes you far more invadable online, limits your ability to obtain items and it's murder. Well. The last point is moot, but it is, even when you're out murdering everything in the countryside. At least these people. Still have a functioning soul of their own.

    As a warning to new players, *Because I know tons of Hexer mains who aren't new will have a field day with this*
    Starting with hexes in no way helps you improve. Hexes are a football helmet with extra padding, with training wheels and an electric wheelchair. Trust me, using them is not a challenge nor is it going to help your gameplay spike upwards. I can solo the game at the highest NG cycles through use of careful positioning, timing, tactics, a couple miracles and my trusty array of curved swords and whatever else catches my fancy, and fashion souls armor. Your gear and combat choice mean a lot less if you are not proficient on your own without all the accoutrement. Oneshotting people with climax and resonant soul != skill. I say that coming off of my no death no bonfire run with two new rings, so trust me, newer players, don't cheese your way to victory at the beginning when your learning means the most.

      Casters are only OP for PvE for PvP i'd say melee users are more OP. If you have ANY roll timing ability with a good high agility for more s fighting spell casters is nothing, my melee user can just walk up to you with his rebel's greatshield and block at least most of whatever you throw at me and just give you a good poke with my grand lance or a few good swings of my claymore. And thats a gimped to fuck faith build with melee abilities. I digress fighting mages in PvP is as simple as knowing how to roll and having an appropriate shield for blocking. Melee is a whole different can of worms, you have people with big weapons that 1 or two shot you, fast guys that need a lot of hits to kill you but good luck hitting them, or people in between.
      Being a mage demands you know how to roll to avoid death cause you have no HP or defense, particularly for those idiot hexers who use the ring that takes HP to boost the power of your hexes (THATS NOT WORTH IT GUYS) while melee you can have decent armor and what would normally one shot a mage, a melee character can possibly tank two or three times. Mages also have to know how to time attacks and combo well while melee users have to be very godo with stamina management and parrying. This goes doubly so for strength builds making use of big weapons. Super armor doesn't protect you from damage, backstabs, ripostes, or losing stamina.
      In short mages equal easy PvE but hard PvP, melee equals hard PvE but easier PvP. Now the dumbest thing in these games is when invaders bitch that you use estus when they fucking invade you as if were supposed to allow them to kill us. Like were obligated to do so and it is some how dishonorable to do so.

      MechaAkuma I'm well aware that when you kill Dragonrider that the Heide Knights will start to roam the area. However, when you use the bonfire ascetic, Dragonrider returns and the Heide Knights sit back down where they originally were. Even if the Heide Knights were active after using the bonfire aesthetic you could easily outrun them and dodge their attacks. Also, considering how you don't know the names of the enemies or who made DSII, I'd assume that you don't know much about the game. The run is incredibly possible and I could record and upload the run for you if you don't believe me.

    This tip leads to a nightmare down the track when you have to clear the area underpowered on new game plus to get to blue cathedral.

      Ik it's been a years but you can just leave that to when you reach the end-game if your level is a problem,or not because that area isn't even that hard

      UncivilCrown 0 I have explained it probably 10 times now in the comments, but if you preordered Dark Souls 2 when it first came out you recieve those weapons when you make a new character.
