It's all politics, Mike.

the defender greatsword is a boss soul weapon and its literally the best faith weapon in the game, also the king's shield is another one that's great since it's basically the drangleic shield except better in every way

but yeah it seems like a lot of the other boss soul weapons aren't that great

how do you make your other party members not die horribly in like 2 seconds every fight

I tried so hard to like that game and it slayed me with endless tutorials

i dunno, i never really had that problem, maybe give them better familiars?? the only issue i ran into was my party members constantly rnning out of mp, but that was fixed with party commands + travel skill later in game. give it another shot, imo, epic game.

I liked how in dark souls 1 you go down and down, deeper and deeper and find yourself in a pool of lava at the bottom of the world while in dark souls 2 you go up and up, higher and higher and find youself in a pool of lava at the top of the world

i like the notion that the lost sinner was actually the witch responsible for handling the actual lord soul during the bed of chaos debacle, blaming herself forever for the disaster. if that's true, i also had the thought that she's the lost fourth sister to the fire keepers, revealing the rear end in a top hat crones to be the last surviving daughters of chaos.
they're there because instead of dying or turning into insect demons during the fall of izalith they managed to escape by phasing themselves out somehow into a limbo (remember how the top pyromancy trainer in ds1 said something about beings on the mortal plane being unable to detect her presence) to live out their days in relative peace but that's just me more or less pulling a string of turds out of my mouth

if soul level matters it's very generous. also if you use the name ring it removes soul level entirely

lanius a ship-cheevo run was really touch and go but i did manage to eke out a victory with only 2 crewmembers and 0% oxygen until i reached sector 8. having strong doors and no oxygen is actually a great fire control and anti-boarding system, frees up the o2 power bar for other things too

lanius b also just looks super baller

i can never decide if its worth killing the human or just trapping him in a single room and cloning him if something bad happens. keeping o2 low is actually extremely powerful since it shuts down boarding strats and solar flares hard
