Dark Souls II

[Tor!]

Tor, what SL are you?

I'm 100, just sitting on like 150k souls not knowing what to spend them on. Also Kafein, did you even try iron keep bridge, or bell solfry? Or getting summoned by the rat covenant? That was the coolest thing ever , and I have no lack of pvp

I'm only a handful of bosses into the game. I finished DS and DkS without summoning even once so understandably, now that I do it everything seems easy.

Did DS on a clean run but on DkS I summoned for a couple of bosses. Since Dark Souls II got a lot of summon for bosses because it "just came out" it is very easy to do the boss for others, learn the pattern and then risk your own humanity or just easily beat him.

But doing bosses like the Giant King where you had to be alone was very rewarding once I figured out an easy way to beat him by myself.

You don't really risk your humanity anyway since you can always get it back by helping someone.

I didnt have much pvp in the very first few areas, but once I found the invasion covenant and from those areas and beyond, I've had quite regular invasions! Although the blue covenant does not seem to be working at all, only the red, belltower guards and rat covenant seem to work reliably

Not all bosses gives it back to you, only the early ones iirc. Later on it gets more risky. Or you can do what I did and get two sacrifice rings. They cost 3k and 6k to repair but that way you can have lots of effigies when you want to start invading or host with full HP.

Going for the Lucatiel achievement because her armor is badass:

This is my first time playing a Dark Souls game so I'm just figuring things out as a I go along. lvl64 stacking dex now (melee only plz) and started the Lost Bastille. Seems like the best way to play this game is to farm the shit out of each area until they're clear?

bosses with summons is like cheating

I didn't even know this was a thing until I looked up how to do the Lucatiel achievement  . Red Eye Ring + two handed shield block the whole fight = gg.

Each one to their own really, I just cleared most areas once thorougly, havent farmed anything other than the belltower covenant.

you can just kill her from the start and get the armor (sold by the hag merchant) most items she gives you are useless, just kill her at Earthen Peak

Wait, you can repair sacrifice rings ? wtf

Pretty sure DS2 is a lot easier than DS1 in so many lvls.

If youve played DS1 before yes, because you know what to expect. I still found 2 to be a challenge.

I found DkS to be incredibly easy compared to DS so yeah. These games are pretty similar in the way you have to play them to succeed.

[IR_Kuoin]

The first Souls game is always going to be easier. I found Dark Souls the hardest, but I played Demon Souls after I played Dark Souls and didn't find it that much harder, mainly because I knew what to do vs enemies and bosses. Must say that I am very tempted to do a low SL run on Demon Souls much more than I want on Dark Souls though.
