Second attempt was such bullshit, his slash attack hit me even when there was distance between my character and his sword, and he hit me with his curse attack while I was behind him and he attacked the air in front of him. Rolling Eyes

Really. Fucking. Tedious. If you want to have drawn out fights, at least make them more interesting than "roll around like an asshole for what seems like forever while occasionally landing hits".

Even with my halberd that deals 262 base damage+magic, it takes FOREVER to reduce his life bar.

This is my third boss fight so far and I'm disappointed by their approach.

It is exactly like that guy says in his video. It's cheap , they lock you and rotate on you even mid attack now, everything does. And the god damn weapon wearing down after 10 enemies is beyond pissing me off. Item 50/50 attack one guy it's 45/50 in just one guy...seriously..fucking cheap shit to make the game harder for no reason instead of leaving it fair and fun gameplay as before yet still being hard as hell at times.

Gameplay wise it's total shit. I'm not even mad about the dumb downed pc graphics least its better than consoles im sure, but the legendary gameplay from before is ruined.

I don't think it's that bad, but definitely not as good as Dark Souls 1. Too much quantity and not enough quality. There are rumors the director of the first game is working on Demons Souls 2 and probably took his people along with him, while Dark Souls 2 was developed by their "B team".

Some of the graphics in the game are just unacceptable and reminds me of the first version of Resident Evil 4 on PC that was missing all the lighting and shaders. Durante's post processing in GeDoSaToTool does a decent job of trying to make it look better.

I read on GAF a while back that the director behind Demon Souls and Dark Souls is working on what is either Demon Souls 2 or some sort of spiritual successor for the PS4.

I hope it's PS4/PC.

The "Heide" equipment is pretty good and can last you through most of the game once upgraded, getting the actual armor however is quite tricky.
(The helmet isn't too difficult but the rest can be very problematic.)

I beat him on the third attempt in less than 10 seconds by parrying his opening move then firing a ballista to his face and finishing with a halberd to the taint. Laughing

Sony owns Demon's Souls. So PC is pretty much out of the question.

Equipment has stat requirements. It has the red x because you don't meet the requirements and thus it does next to no damage.
Try to look at your items in your inventory. The inventory is a bit weird and much worse then in the previous game but you should be able to figure it out.

People just need to relax in these fights and take a couple of "minutes" to check out their pattern and, more importantly, how to force them to do certain patterns.

All related to rings, armor your wearing. The only ones I've found are: Casting Speed, Increased Attunement (it will have a scroll and an up arrow), Ring of Protection (will have souls with a line through it) and Fall Dmg REduction (a cat icon). Can't remember icons beyond that.

EDIT: Also if anyone can find thi game for less than 30 bucks. . .shoot a message.

If you are referring to GeDoSaTo, then yes. Works just fine here.

How do you fix the controlls?

The camera and movement controlls are very unusual and awkward coming from DS1. As if the deadzone is internally 90%, nothing happens and then all the sudden it turns. It's very nervous to move on narrow passages. I don't like the feel of it.

I use the exact same controller for DSII as for DS and in DSII I can't move around smoothly.

Can anyone else relate?


Yes, I can relate and it's pissing me off too.

Guys, does anybody know how to thrust with a sword? I'm using mouse+keyboard, and I should be able to do a thrust attack with any sword that's in the Slash/Thrust category, but the normal and strong attacks are just slashing moves. Interestingly, the Shortsword's strong attack is the thrusting attack, that is the only one that does it, but I saw some gameplay vids where for example the Flaming Longsword was used with a thrusting attack, but I can't do it, it only just slashes with both normal and strong attacks.

Also, there is supposed be a bash move (not with the shield) if you press forward+normal attack. If an enemy is actively blocking, one can break it's defense with it, but I just can't reproduce it. What's up with that?

Ohh, I get it now, so not every sword does the thrusting attack. I didn't try the Flaming Longsword with 2 hands before, it seems wielding it in 2 hand and doing a strong attack eventually thrusts. I thought you can thrust with every sword, it's a little confusing, thanks.

Does anybody know how that bashing move mentioned above works?
