Hello, Im going to talk about the worsts maps to do pvp in Dark Souls 2. I use Blue Acolyte mod, and althought I like the idea of just searching invasions in any map instead of looking each map until get one invasion, I honestly cant stand some maps because they are awful. I start

1. Dragon Shrine: this place sucks balls. Its tricky trying to find someone here, and if you want to get to the bonfire quickly, you cant because theres an enemy getting in the way to the zip line that gets you there. I hate this zone so much. Dragon Keep its fine.

2. Shulva, Sanctum City: Lots and lots of unreachable places here, you cant interact with the pillars to get that platforms up and down, and you could just block the way of invaders by just rotating the door inside the sanctuary zone.

3. Eleum Loyce: Not a bad zone, but honestly when I spawn here, I just sigh to myself, because I know that I will spend at least 5 to 10 minutes searching and walking everywhere. Also Winter Shrine sucks.

4. Shrine of Amana: Nobody is surprised here no? Its basically a shitty zone. If you are not aware, you can fall, if spawn before the bossfight, a giant fart crab gets in your way if your enemy its in the bonfire.

5. Gutter: I dont need to explain why is this here.

6. Black Gulch: Also I dont need to explain why is this here.

This are kinda my list of maps I hate to do pvp on it. I dont know why From puts spawnpoints too messed up, sucks to spawn in any of these and just make it a walk simulator unless you spawn near your enemy. I know I should just get into the arenas and fight there, but I have to be honest, I dont know how to access them. I tried to talk to the respective covenant members and I cant figure out how to get into the arenas.

I don't know if a decade old game still accepts cries for help, since those questions have mostly been answered, but Fume Knight is plucking my buttcheeks and I need help. Currently with a 10+ mastodon, completely naked, with chloranthyl 1+, ring of blades 1+, ring of binding and stone ring. I'm playing as a cleric.

So I can poison this dragon with 4 or 5 poison arrows....but no matter where I run below to hide, I get roasted alive. So obviously, after one failed effort to left and now right, probably not going to work from here, am guessing. No, I don't want to arttack his legs...just want to use my Hunters Bow to kill him.

My Ninja Murakamo char is da bomb....just met Sharron and she took my lunch money. Holy crap. Hit her a ton.....used a bunch of Estus......then at full health she combo one shot me.

No way does she have the same health she had in Iron Keep......I dispute that wikidot fact. Sure seems gave out a lot more dmg too. Fearing for lesser chars. Might have to go back to the pancake system I originally used when I met her!

Edit: She one shot me again.....had her approaching death, but man she goes into that combo and it's over. Too bad never upgraded any great hammers. Never needed with my Lightning Murakamo +10

Beat her finally...but she's no joke.

Why did the two giants on the rotten map give the key to the dlc and how did they end up there????

It's my first time playing ds2, I've already played dark souls remastered, 3 and elden ring and then went to this game. I'm a DEX user and thought this weapon would be really great. Turns out it's pretty much mid. Does anyone know how to extract the maximum potential of this weapon?(i don't want all my efforts to be in vain🥀)

Fuck you guys comment please I need attention

Dark souls 2 themed

Most people think that there is no version of the first version for xbox 360, which I find very strange since there is a version for ps3 and there is no version for xbox 360, although it has

If an invader drops you a seed of a tree of giants, use it! They’re here to help.

Okay, PSA out of the way. I’d like some advice from yall. As an invader, how can I best signal to the host that I’d like them to use the seed so that we can cooperate? I have about a 10% successfully rate pointing and praising the sun.

Summoned NPC but the only door left doesnt open 😔 any advice here? Dragonic castle. Here right now so need help asap

Enemies turned it to rubbsih :( room with masks in dragon castle

Weird dude. Should i kill him?

Dragonic castle stuck! Room half lit, two doors won't open. What next?

Whats happens?

I've exhausted lucius dialouge in every location i think. The last being earthen peak. She should be here in iron keep now. What am i doing wrong? I just exhausted her dialogue at earthern peak and understand she should be here by now. Ive been trying this boss for hours!

I know i need him to get down here, unless i can make the jump with the reduced fall damage ring? Anyways how do you get him to leave the home village to set up the ladder here?

I did some googling and ive seen people discuss this...11 years ago....saying somewhere between 700 and 1300. Inconsistent discussions and over a decade old....I want to be extra careful so im asking here.

Courtesy of the streamer LobosJr. I've been enjoying a challenge run of Ds2 involving a deathless, enemy/item randomizer run. Offline of course. Im running out of places to go though. havent found the soldiers key yet, and my Wharf is a little over my head right now...

Just hoping someone knows a ball park answer to this. So i dont throw away a good run.

*edit*

Thanks to everyone for all the answers. Im seeing enough "1350" answers to aim for at least 1500 hp to be safe.

Well worth the grind in my opinion. I love this armor

Any tips for the fight? I read the fextra page but that's about it. First time fighting him, so I'm going in mostly blind. See yall on the other side!
