After finishing this on Switch a few weeks ago I've been hankering to get back into something Souls-like.  Dark Souls 2 is only 8 quid on PSN, is it any good on PS4?

DS2 SotFS has had a lot of mixed review..... I enjoyed it play it, for £8 it's a bargain!

It seems there’s just something about that cutscene that the console really doesn’t like. I skipped it on the fifth try and haven’t had an issue since. (Edit: seems I’m not the only one to have encountered this)
 

Sif and 4K done. I think I’m OP or something because I just smashed the hell out of both of them without much issue. 
 

Now heading back to ToG.

Nito is kicking my head in. Or more accurately, his bloody annoying skeletons are. I nearly had him but since that run have just made a mess of it repeatedly.

I know I sound like that person, but I did him on my second go. Stay at the start of the area and take out the couple of skeletons that spawn there. Go to him and roll around him to do damage. When he starts his big AOE attack, leg it back to the entrance. You should be out of range. Then leg it back in and repeat. If you don't go further into the area, no other skeletons spawn.

When I just stand where I fall down, he starts hitting me with that attack out of the floor. It's kind of crazy. I thought I would heal as soon as I fell down there and he hit me immediately, despite being behind that big rock formation in the middle.

 

I found the most effective technique was to wait for him to do his AOE and kill all the skellies himself, get a few whacks in and repeat. Then I got greedy and got smashed.

 

I'm enjoying it though. It's the first challenging boss since O&S, and I did that in only about 7 goes.

Seath down (first go :hmm:).

 

It was kind of confusing, as I kept going back to where he first was and couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do. I really liked the Duke's Archive and it made me appreciate the Grand Archives in DS3 (for their complexity) that much more.

 

3 Lord Souls down, 1 to go.

APM’s selling DS2 in Trading. Is it worth picking up? I seem to remember it getting slated as being a repetitive effort from the B team. Am trying to decide whether to play that or Sekiro next. 


Not sure anyone gave you a definitive answer, but if it’s the Xbox One version with all the DLC then you should definitely get it. Also if you’re finding DS1 a bit easy after DS3, the second has a whole bunch of infamous bosses. I’m a big fan, it has a different vibe to the other two.

 

It’s also on sale on Xbox Live for pennies semi-regularly.

Yeah, it's TSOTFS on Xbox one. Still for sale.

Thanks. I think DS2 is definitely on the list - I’ve watched a few vids and the world certainly looks like it has a very different atmosphere to 1 and 3. But I’m thinking about playing Sekiro first, as the Souls formula is feeling a bit stale to me at the moment.

Sekiro’s a bit marmite. The world building is still great but the combat is entirely based around reactions and parrying, so you’ll have a very different time depending on whether you usually play aggressively or defensively. I was extremely into it for about two weeks, got to the final boss, felt like I’d seen everything it had to offer and never went back.

If you haven't already, now's a good time to look up how to get into the DLC.

Bed of Chaos down. Am I to take the fact that your progress carries over if you die as an admission that it’s not very good?

Thanks. Is there an option to keep playing after you finish the game without going to NG+?

No, once you beat the last boss there's no turning back. If you've got the 4 lord souls, now's the time to do it.

 

And yes, Bed of Chaos is massively shit.

It isn't any good in general.

I've spent enough time on this forum articulating why DS2 is great   (and in some ways the best of them all) so I won't do it again - all I will say is a lot of people hate it and a lot of people absolutely love it. And the ones who hate it are wrong.

How on earth is anyone supposed to figure out how to access the Artorias DLC without using a guide? Ridiculous and tedious. I can't find the pendant in my inventory but have definitely killed that Golem, so am hoping it works. I haven't bought the inventory management chest so have like 18 million bits of junk on me, so it might be in there somewhere.

Honestly the first part of the DLC can be a bit of a git too, I really struggled on that since I got there first with a melee character on NG+ first time through.
