wait nerf? Why?

@@gametimenoah5902 lightning spear was bonkers on launch, then got massively over-nerfed to the point of being as useless in the early game as this vid shows, 3 casts and baby damage. obviously with some proper building though they still get the job done, as this vid also shows :P

@@gametimenoah5902 fromsoft doesn't know how to balance pvp in any of their games so they take an approach similar to carving a statue. When they think it looks good, they leave it alone. Once someone complains about it, they smash it into a thousand pieces and hope nobody cares anymore

It’s him!

Rejoice

I can already hear Church On The Hill.

Northern Ritual Band *could* be useful early on, but ultimately you end up getting enough spell casts by Targray that running out doesn’t become an issue. At that point you’re just taking a crowbar to your HP’s Kneecaps. Red Tearstone ring doesn’t work on magic in DS2 after it was nerfed, and Sun seal I alright but I’d rather have a ring slot for situational like Ring of Giants and such instead of something as low as 5% damage when I’m already hitting DLC bosses for not much in the first place.

@@GamersWeekend Oof you're right I'm thinking of DS1. Totally forgot they nerfrd it in DS2.

@@somedogsarecops2354 the only reason I know is that is because I had the same thought process lol

@Flamy aggred

@@GamersWeekend try doing a boss weapons only

I’ll definitely take a look. I do like some Zullie videos 👀

Idk if you’ve seen ymfah’s video about making a ymfah video but he literally prints out whole wikis, excel spreadsheets, and plans then he binds them all. Each time for a new challenge. It’s insane.

Heah he just saw Baron's Castle video and avoided all mistakes

@@Stone_Orchids true Barrens castle went through hell

@@vfig675 what does ymfah have to do with this and his never done any miracle ds2 guide and even with all those wikis and shit he still manages to fck up a lot of things. Like the company of champions in his no talk guide

@@dayyaanadam2589 You're correct about that he hasn't done a miracle ds2 guide, but saying he fucks up a lot of things is disingenuous. They are usually done for comedic effect.

Pyro + Smelter = Cancer

@Hikari Arts 2.0 Fume Knight just wading through my best attacks like I was spitting at him. Spit might actually have done more damage.

@Hikari Arts 2.0 Iron keep is easy

Sorceries only isn’t a challenge, I think there’s maybe 3 bosses resistant to Magic, and they’re not hard ones. Plus, Sorceries cast faster than lightning spears. Dark is a little harder, several difficult bosses are resistant to Dark. But on the flip side, hexes are pretty powerful in most instances. Surprise twist, everything in Brume is resistant to Fire and Dark! Just kill me now, Fume Knight. Fire…. Oof. Pyromancy only is a bad time. Aldia, Ancient Dragon. All of Iron Keep, and all of Brume Tower. I’d rather sl1 the game than do a pyro only challenge.

Sorcery will honestly be a calm time. You can beat giant, pursuer and dragonrider easily with the spells you have access to early in the game, giving a huge soul pool. Dark and pyro are a different thing, if you are going for "pure", since they both have steep entry costs.

Lol that was my first thought when I saw the title of the video. "Can you beat DS2 with only miracles?" Well, what version are we talking, cause on release lighting was stupid OP.

Yeah DS2 1.0 miracles were AMAZING

what song is it?

Honestly I find that it's the worst one, not that it's a bad game by any means as I've put an unhealthy amount of hours into it (imo it does the exploration thing better than any other game), however the awful enemy placement (Smelter Demon runup in Scholar), some of the most garbage hitboxes I've experienced even with 100+ Agility (Sir Alonne's grab got when I was next to his sword) and the extremely lackluster boss roster (I'm not a fan of Fume Knight right now, I've beaten him but I just have a lot of issues with that fight) just drag the game down for me. Overall I consider Dark Souls 3 the best game in of FromSoftware's souls-likes (Bloodborne has a few issues that hold it back for me in the combat), I know the game has its flaws, however I find that game's combat the most satisfying, the boss roster is easily FromSoftware's best despite the stinkers, and the soundtrack is easily one of the best of that decade. I don't play it much these days because I've burned myself out on it after over 1000, hours (currently 1,111 hours to be exact). However I can see why its liked as well as it has a lot of fun things that I can see people overlooking the shortcomings it has to hold it so highly. It's just the jank and objectively bad design choices (i-frames being tied to a stat) hurt the experience for me.

Can't you get the dark pyromancy flame from the gutter by getting the cat ring?

@@szarekhthesilentking7043 You can. Also it's scaling bonus is glitched so any negative scaling from not being hollowed out enough doesn't apply, you'll always have base damage AR, no matter what the game says. Makes the early parts of the run before you get the regular pyro flame easier. Pyromancy-only isn't too hard even with the few bosses that resist/negate fire and/or poison, but having to farm extra copies of Great Fireball from the Fire Lizards in FoFG is painful...

@@ludward I just hate wasting early Fire Seeds on the Dark Pyro Flame. Yeah, there’s enough seeds for both, but in a pyro run, you want to pump up the better flame sooner than later. But I guess that’s what makes it a challenge.

@@arellajardin8188 No need to upgrade the dark flame, tho. You get a Branch of Yore almost immediately after getting the dark flame, that you can use to free Rosebeth and the path to the Shaded Woods. (Hello free 30k souls and stamina/cast speed rings.) Get Poison Mist from her and Flexile Sentry becomes a joke. Poison Mist is a savior against any fire resistant enemy that isn't Fume Knight (Gotta get gud for that one, which isn't as bad as it sounds.) Poison Mist also stacks with Toxic Mist, which you can obtain almost immediately after getting the regular pyro flame, since you have access to both Grave of Saints and the Lost Bastille by this point.

What sheilds actually do damage cuz I can't think of any rn

@@basicname1555 in DS2? Literally all shields do damage when you 2h them.

@@WoobertAIO that's Tru 😂 but that would so about the same damage as fist (unless great sheilds 2 handed do more damage) Sry I don't really use sheilds much but to parry

@@basicname1555 no, shields actually do decent damage in this game. They're just slow, that's why nobody uses them as weapons.

does the cleric Disc Chime count? hehehehehhehehe

I feel like when they say smelter hard they mean blue smelter bc screw that boss he is the only boss in the series I haven't killed

Honestly the runup in Scholar is complete bullshit unless you kill the clown closet of Alonne Knights to the point that they stop spawning. That alone makes me like the fight less because of the amount of work I have to do to actually fight the boss or I'll be gangbanged to death by a dozen Alonne Knights in the back trying to enter the boss arena due ro the lack of i-frames at the start of traversing a fog wall for some reason. Seriously, who playtested that shit and said that was good? Everything else about Iron Keep isn't actually that bad, it's just that one part that is inexcuasbly bad. Honestly it's the best fire level in any FromSoftware game if you ignore that part as outside of that it's actually not bad like Lost Izalith or cobbled together like Smouldering Lake.

Most of the time when people say that a bod is bad, they mean that the bossrun sucks

Bro don't even try that shit - thise hitboxes are broken. He's not hard in the sense that his moveset is tough or he has a large health pool, he can just barely catch you at the end of your s & that sucks.

@@kiratherenegade1561 Sounds like something that someone who's bad at the game would say

Not nearly as satisfying as Heavenly Thunder is

It's more of a subjective thing, but sure

Surprised he didn’t use Soul Appease. It will nuke the whole room with a single cast. Two casts, Mohawk shows up.

@@arellajardin8188 Who sells that? I recall the Grave Warden from Bone Zone 2.0, but who else?

@@becomingsentient1208 The stone trader. So you only have to get to Harvest Valley.

Miracles is probably easier. Better range than Dark Orb, no worries about Attunement slots, and better enemy resistances. Plus, Heavenly Thunder is a freaking BEAST.
