Dark Souls 2

The new DLC just came out, and I have to say... FUCKING PLAY IT.

It's by far the best DLC of the 3 and the most exciting zone I've been to for all of DS2.

I was surprised by how fast I made it to the final boss and beat him. Like 2 hours tops. Well, guess I'll go collect all the gear now.

If you want to check out an awesome moveset, check out the Bone Fist.

yeah, also finished it. Now the only challenge left is the Outskirts and grinding enough Loyce Souls for the armor set. Kinda disappointed though. Expected something longer.

I "discovered" something quite game changing like 1 hour ago.

Tip: Go visit Vendrick in the crypt after obtaining all crowns.

*Ye, those Loyce souls are a bitch. Got 17 atm and it's getting really frustrating when all they are droping is their gear.

I heard it is easier if you let yourself summon to the bossfight and farm there (otherwise there are always only 3 of the knights running around).

Already been to the crypt with all crowns. Kinda hoped to

Spoiler below!

. Maybe something with the very ending changed. Going to test that tomorrow.

(50 loyce souls later) found a quite easy way to acquire those souls much quicker. After the boss once and gotten Vendrick's blessing, use an ascetic on the cathedral bonfire and just farm the knights until the boss spawns. You'll also get the Ivory King set when you beat him (from Maughlin)

Nice, gonna try that Smile

The blessing does not transfer over to NG+, found out the hard way.

ah damn. Well, naked speedrun time xD I think I will bury the character after beating the outskirts. Spend enough time in Lordr...I mean Drangleic by now. Gotta make my head clear for Evil Within and Bloodborne.

Anyways, that Black Nil Greatsword is a nice thing. A bit slow for my taste but fun when dualwielded with another greatsword. Surprised an invader who tried to bonefist me ^^
