Someone did port majula to elden ring (imagine if in future modders try to recreate the entirety of DS2 in elden ring👀)

Rant Time: just jump already!

I'm currently in Huntsman's Copse, dying and dying again trying to make a jump. I say trying as only once have I actually jumped; every other damn time I just rolled off the edge. It's the item at the end of the bridge to Undead Purgatory.

I know what the item is. I don't need it. I don't even particularly want it, other than to pick it up because it's there. I've lost aound 30,000 souls trying to get it; dying in my impatient rush to get back and pick them up. But I don't even care about that.

At this point it's bloody personal. I will not be defeated by a small f*****g gap!

So what to do? Well, I don't know about normall people, but I'm currently engaged in a campaign of extermination, despawning EVERYTHING along a very specific path all so I can (probably) fall to my death again in peace.

Ah, the joys of being undead!

First playthrough

I'm on my first playthrough rn, and just finished Aldia's Keep. I'm level 164, using chaos blade +5 and my level Distribution is: Vig: 50 Vit:50 Str:12 Dex:55 Adp:30 Idk how much more of the game do I have left, but I'm genuinely curious, am I well levelled? Or I should do some grinding before I progress. Also where should I put my levels, I think I reached all the soft caps. One last question, what should I know about DLC's, like order, level etc

I have a confession

After 3 full play-throughs I have to be honest with myself and you all.

I like Shrine of Amana.

Not the enemy placement, but I love the lore, the ambiance, the music, the vibes. I really enjoy it all. I know it’s a pretty universally hated place but I played through it again on a new build last night and felt the same awe I did when I first played through it only this time I fell off a lot less and died to enemies a lot less.

Thank you for coming to my confession.

About trading...

Is there a community where ds2 players can trade weapons, armors etc?

I have pretty much every single item and I want to trade with people that need some of those items.

Shoutout to the guy who dropped me max gear in Tseldora

Some guy invaded me while I was farming for Sunlight Medals, we fought & I gave up. Instead of killing me he started dropping maxed out weapons and gear.

You‘re a real one 🫡 (though I wont be using the armor; weapons are fine since I have the mats and would‘ve maxed anyways)

Hey guys I'm having a hard time finding written stats on where sweet spots are on weapon types and exactly how much damage is reduced or increased based on the location of the hit.

Dragon knights

Hey guys I’m farming the dragon knights, and I’ve noticed whenever they hit me I seem to pause/stagger which leaves me extremely vulnerable and usually ends up killing me. Is there a specific skill I can level up to prevent or reduce this?

Does blocking still reduce durability of armor?

and rings. This is presuming the shield doesn't have 100% block

is it worth to upgrade stats past certain point?

first time playing DS2, completed about half of the game, made a katana dualwielding DEX build and started noticing that upgrading DEX past 50 does very minimal changes... I think upgrading from 50 to 99 only increases DEX A weapon by 20 or so? Which is so low when you compare it to base 220ish of uchigatana +10 and + about 80-100 with having 50 DEX

so looks like it's not a good idea to minmax character in DS2?

Anyone know what's the name of the main menu theme for DS2?

I'm writing a video essay on how audio is used through out the souls franchise and cannot find the main menu music's name anywhere, it's not even on spotify. Any help?

First ever NewGame+

Not long ago I stated my first DS2 New Game plus! Think it’s the biggest jump in difficulty from what I’ve experienced! Struggling with basic bosses Keep in mind I’m relatively new to FromSoft games so NewGame+ is a serious struggle man. But I will persist and I will get this done.

Souls of giants NG+

Might be a dumb question but do you get new souls of giants in NG+? As far as if I were to go through the memories again and kill the ancient dragon? Finished main game and doing DLC and wanted to use for some extra souls but didn’t want to lose out on being able to kill Vendrick easier
