Any creative tips ????

[u/chinmonged]

Finished this game like 10 times sometimes ago and felt like starting the game again after a few months.

I want to start a new game but I want some ideas on some ways I can play this run, something really different that will give me a really different experience.

I was thinking about doing a challenge where if I find a weapon, I will have to use it until I find another one; but it will be really interesting to see what y'all can come up with!!!

You posted a picture with DS2. Do a frozen needle run.

Want a really different experience? Play peak souls 2

[u/robobitch1233]

Play peak souls 2 lil bro

[u/ConcertPlastic6182]

ds2 is peak souls how dare you call it mid

I'm currently a summons only run, where i'm only allowed to heal and buff my summons and nothing else. I'm planning this run on my own since others guides/tutorials didn't satisfy me (too much cheese and bending the rules for my taste), and it's actually very fun and more challenging than I thought It would be.

[u/SesaDelta → u/Quick-Courage2834]

Go Taylew go! Go Taylew go!

[u/Quick-Courage2834 → u/SesaDelta]

That run Is actually the main inspiration for my attempt, and even though i tried not to Watch It in order to try to complete the run on my own, now that i hit a big roadblock (Godfrey/hoarah loux) i Will probably follow the steps of BioticNova and her Taylew

Nah, ds2 is fun.

I feel like everyone who says DS3 is their favorite just started with that

Druid build. Magic allowed by no equipment can have any metal on it

[u/XSCONE → u/enchiladasundae]

Dark Souls 3 is a fun soulslike but it genuinely pisses me off so bad as a sequel to DS1 and 2. (For narrative reasons more than gameplay, although I have issues with the gameplay too)

[u/enchiladasundae → u/XSCONE]

I was genuinely kind of mad about the story. Kept hearing about the changing age and the last game they just drop it. I wanted to see the age of the deep(?). We were building up to it for so long and then nothing

Inb4 "Dark Souls II is actually secretly a great game, the best even!" crowd

[u/Former_Deal_2838 → u/DotDistinctLines]

It's the best even numbered dark souls game

[u/LegendMC119 → u/DotDistinctLines]

god I hate all the fromsoftware "game is good game is bad" debates. It IS "SECRETLY" a good game. I am not going to argue for the best spo though. My favorite is Elden Ring by quite a bit actually.

[u/Athmil → u/DotDistinctLines]

I mean it’s no secret that ds2 is a great game.

[u/singularcheeto → u/DotDistinctLines]

Dark Souls II is a great game, the best even

[u/ANormalStraw → u/DotDistinctLines]

Dark Souls 2 is peak

[u/throw_away_1359]

Play where you're not allowed to equip items using specific vowels

[u/blurplemanurples]

Dark souls 2 plays very differently to Elden ring.

Ds1 is the true prequel.

[u/Most-Examination1039]

Ds2 hate is so forced man I love that game

[u/Artickman]

Do a Deflecting Hardtear run and play sekiro lite. About as different from normal ER experience as it gets.

[u/Aggressive_Season373]

focusing on the picture. All trilogy is mid. Elden ring peaked

[u/chinmonged → u/Aggressive_Season373]

Ds3 slander is straight blasphemy

[u/Apocalypse_0415 → u/chinmonged]

it’s worse than 2

[u/LegendMC119 → u/Aggressive_Season373]

Ok call dark souls 2 what you want (I disagree with that too), but disrespecting the entire trilogy is too far man. In fact imo DS3 and DS1 are better than bloodborne and Sekiro but uh thats a bit of a spicy take I think.
