Mazed posted:You might miss a few nods in the early game, but the further you get, the more it diverges. Keep going! Play the first one later. Basically any nods to the original are items that were in it and now say "who this used to belong to/be has long since been forgotten/destroyed". One item has an implication on what happened, but it's apparently been so long that some countries were replaced by others over time and nobody really remembers anyone or anything from the time that Dark Souls happened. I wonder if Velka's still kicking though, she wasn't part of that particular pantheon. Also curious about the world-trees; is there an Ash Lake analogue I should look for?

Just because you can play something with a mouse doesn't mean you should. Save your wrist for FPSes/Work and get a controller. Man the three sentinels boss is lighting me the gently caress up in solo. I wasted 2 human effigies on it already.

I don't know if this was posted yet (too many pages to keep up), but the rubble you see in the bottom of the mansion in Majula (where the skeleton is), is actually the broken fragments of the Lord Vessel. I would like that to be explained at least. EDIT: The cat says something along the lines of "this world is dying, so that a new one may be born". Maybe DS1 was one cycle, and DS2 is the end of the second cycle?. TheNightReaver fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Apr 27, 2014 |

In case anyone cares. The DS1 trick for remapping some of the buttons on the controller works in DS2. I copied whatever version x360ce x_input.dll and config file was in my DS1 folder, and it just worked. What I'm actually doing in there is swapping the b button and the right trigger on my Xbox controller. I tell the x360ce to map b to RT while setting RT to empty. Then I use joytokey to map RT to the spacebar which does what b used to do. So some control scheme changes are definitely possible.

So I'm kinda lost. I've got a shitload of boss souls and I have to scroll to see all my locations, but the only "big" souls I have are Lost Sinner and Old Iron King. I found the big castle from the crossroads, but the helpful flask lady says I need to be stronger. That means more souls, right? I assume I need to go back to somewhere I've been before, but I don't know where to go. Any hints?

I'm having some major trouble with Iron Keep. It feels kind of like an equipment check. What's a good way to go about upgrading the gear I'm using right now? The best thing I have at the moment is just the Fire Sword +2 I snagged from that cave way back when. The build I'm going for right now is 40 STR 40 DEX and I have 18 of each so far. Is that kind of build terrible now or is there a good weapon I can get for it?

Does anyone know why my DLC seems to have disappeared? When I launch the game and try to load my character I get a warning that my character has DLC objects that are not currently available, and they will be lost if I continue. If I right click DS2 in Steam and view Properties -> DLC both DS2 itself and the pre-order DLC are listed. Baron O Beefdip posted:I'm having some major trouble with Iron Keep.

You can get a Heide Sword from the white knight in Forest of the Giants which is similar to the Longsword and does Lightning Damage, it might be your best bet if you want something similar just to get you through Iron Keep. Alternatively, get the Ember in Iron Keep (it's before the first boss) and infuse your longsword with something else.

Powerstance maces or clubs work really well but I'm sure there's other stuff.

I don't get this soul memory system. So now no matter how low I keep my SL eventually I'm gonna be unable to do coop in some areas just because of soul accumulation?

If you're tired of the clubs and the Greatsword I can recommend King Vendrick's "sword" (King's Ultra Greatsword), which is more of a statue on a boot on a stick.

You won't have any problems hitting multiplayer in NG+

At the cost of sounding ignorant as gently caress, but is it just me or the story in Dark Souls 2 basically just run around kill a bunch of poo poo? Emerald Maiden pretty much just says kill the four big dudes. I assume the Last Giant is one but I feel like I've been running around in circles trying to find anyone else. I think I finished the loop of the Bastille (from No-Man's Wharf and Forest ends) and I have the Gargoyles and I guess the boss in Sinner's Rise left to do. I am in Blightown 2.0/3.0/gently caress me again right now but I'm guessing there is another "great soul" there? And then there's the case of the King's Door thing in the Forest keep? Is that last or something?

Is there a way to force the game into offline mode short of booting up Steam in offline mode? You (basically) have to go to NG++ for certain spells and I'd hate to die to a hacker invader.

Yeah, the story this time around is a hell of a lot looser than in Dark Souls. It suffers for it; you never really feel like you know where you are or why. And no, the Last Giant was not one of the four Great Ones. Go and finish Sinner's Rise, it'll give you an item to open up a new area. Yes, that door is an end-game thing. Not the end game thing, but close to it.

Your saves are backed up locally somewhere, but there is no steam cloud support. Your saves can only be used on the account that created them, so you can't send a modified save to a friend (preventing Megamule saves from spreading around).

One is eventually accessed by getting the lady who sells miracles (Licia) to change the path that leads to Heide to a different path. The other is accessed by going down the pit in Majula. I'd recommend doing the former thing first, as that way you will find an NPC who can build you ladders into the pit so you don't kill yourself jumping. You don't have to keep the any of the other boss souls, but you can trade them with certain NPCs for items so you might want to hold on to them until you're sure you don't need any of the stuff you can get for them.
