If you drained the poison arena, you did not beat the boss fight

If you used the ballista against the pursuer after parrying his lunge attack, you did not beat the pursuer

>No Man's Wharf has a bridge shortcut that makes it one of the best designed areas in the game
>Vanilla doesn't have it

How do DAS2 fans defend this?

There's a reason why Dark Souls remastered changed fuckall but DAS2 needed a huge rerelease

Also I had to beat the snake boss with the flooded arena, and finding out the retarded solution makes me further think DAS2 fans are fucking stupid.

>>724044713 (OP)
I wish I could unplay that dogshit game

If you didn't use a broken mundane ladle for all the bosses you didn't beat the game

>>724044807
true
but the ship boss is also easy as fuck and should always be killed first try so it's not really a huge problem

>>724044713 (OP)
The people who drained the area were either NPC summoning fags or cheated by reading wiki

>>724044713 (OP)
Do you think she can get pregnant

I like how scholar has like 2 fucking NPC summons for this incredibly easy boss so you can just gang rape her for no reason

>>724044807
DS2 fans are like Alien, Star Wars or Terminator fans that pretend the last one was good.

>>724044713 (OP)
yeah but real shit, if you used magic you didn't beat the game.

Like actually.

>>724045063
or they read orange signs right next to the bonfire, retard.

>>724045383
I definitely get Terminator 3 vibes off of Dark Souls 2.

>>724044713 (OP)
if you beat the game
you did not beat the game

>>724045247
>(remaster only)
Why did SOTFS add so many extra summon signs?

Yeah mean it's actually pretty good and enjoyable and there's a handful of fun ideas in it? I agree.

I can't remember vanilla
Did the big switch that lights up the entire wharf work in the original game

>>724044713 (OP)
If you used anything except your bare fist to attack, you did not beat the game
If you levelled up any stat AT ALL, you did not beat the game
If you utilize dodge rolls to evade attacks instead of taking them like a man, you did not beat the game
If you used a shield, you did not beat the game
If you used magic, you did not beat the game
If you engaged with the game mechanics in any way at all, you did not really and truly, beat the game

Did you beat the game anon?

If you used a bow to kill the little rats, you didn't beat that boss.

>>724046070
I wonder how it was ever decided that it was fine for the faction bosses to completely embarrassing shit

>>724044713 (OP)
lel i tried this a few times and her down to like 1/3 health until I realized this is not how you're supposed to do this and looked it up

>>724046070
Fuck this boss

>>724046017
Nope, I am still at things betwixt wondering how to get to the next area without moving forward

>>724045759
Yes

>>724045759
>>724046389
It's just that the bridge wasn't in the original (it was just trash for some reason) which they then fixed in the rerelease and you just kick it.

>>724046231
I was replaying the game recently and, yeah, the only way to win is to just stay underneath it. They don't want you running away from the giant rat. That tackle move has so many active hurt-frames that you cannot dodge roll through it. Rat doesn't do the tackle if you stay underneath it. Then you just gotta HOPE you can take care of the little rats before they toxic and/or petrify you.

>>724046017
>he doesn't know that conquerors ring + bare fists is actually viable in dark shit 2

If you didn't play exactly like me, you didn't beat the game.

I was way too drunk when I played this game through. Can't remember half of this shit. The parasite spiders I remember, the weird dragon museum, snow panthers...

>>724046536
erm.... is this real???

>>724044713 (OP)
Why the hell does the DS2 server go down so often? Maybe it doesn't but I've been playing the game for the past week and whenever I get home in the evening and boot it up it's often always having problems.

>>724044807
In the original you had a reason to give a shit about the durability system and carry a second weapon for this exact scenario.

>>724046578
Long ass game to stay drunk through.

>>724046603
The games plenty shit enough in Scholar to carry a second weapon

>>724044713 (OP)
I was a total retard and didn't know we could do that.
I didn't know we could summon

>>724046670
The NPC summons in this game were so cute

IF YOU BEAT THE GAME YOU DID NOT BEAT THE GAME

>>724044713 (OP)
Wtf c'mon I'm totally beat the boss

>>724046670
If I were on the scholar dev team, I would've changed the texture to wood, added an oil drip, and made it so it would burn even if you struck it with your sword. (like how the oil barrels explode when you hit them)

>>724046334
Based claude
I kneel

>>724044713 (OP)
I've played all the souls games in coop with a buddy, using a whitelist IP filtering on my firewall to avoid invaders.

>>724046070
>casts AoE spell to kill all the rats at once
I've beaten the game and i'd beat you

>>724044713 (OP)
That's what lifegems are for, you basically just use 4 of them at the same time and then the poision shouldn't be a problem anymore.

>>724044761
isn't this more difficult to do than just killing him normally

>>724044713 (OP)
First time I played I did not know about draining the arena, and the combat was really fun. Though still slow and janky, it was one of my favorite bosses of the base game.

>difficult area has a ridiculously easy shitpost-tier boss fight
name a more kino trope

>>724044713 (OP)
I didn't. I just run around and let the clown npc take care of her.

>>724049690
still didn't beat her

>>724044761
Honestly killing him with the ballista is more impressive than killing him normally, considering how hard it is to line him up without him destroying the ballista first

>>724044807
>There's a reason why Dark Souls remastered changed fuckall but DAS2 needed a huge rerelease
60% of the map in DS1 needed a huge rework that will never come because fromdrones are retarded.
In Demon's Souls, when they couldn't finish the final Archstone area, they cut it from the game and gave you a good game; in DS1, because of the retarded interconnected world map that really hurts level design a lot, they left a third of the game unfinished and shipped it as is.

>>724044842
this, couldnt bring myself to finish this garbage

>>724050318
>>724044842
Jeet-coded posts

>>724049707
You only said I didn't if I turned off the poison. No takebacks.

>>724050361
even doe shit2 is the brownest souls game

>>724049052
If you used a single lifegem you did not beat the game

if you didn't turn the game off before reaching the 3 hags in the hut then you didn't beat the game

>>724049101
if you wait until he attacks , parry then run to the furthest ballista and fire it, you can kill it in about 15 seconds

>>724045383
Are you saying that Dark Souls 2 is the last Dark Souls game?
Well, in a way, it is. It was definitely the last From's RPG. Also...
Alien > Alien 3 *Assemyly Cut* > Aliens > Resurrection

>>724044713 (OP)
What if I took the elevator after the boss I didn't beat?

>>724044713 (OP)
This is what Elden Ring lacked. The bosses that should do aoe passive status effects are not doing it. Malenia should be inflicting rot passively, Midra should be stacking aoe frenzy to you, and etc.
