Grinding to the Max Level in the Tutorial of Dark Souls II 

its hilarious that he's explaining this like its a walkthrough. ya know, for all those people out there, looking to farm 400 million souls in dark souls 2's starting area.

This is interesting but the real question is what is the length of all dark souls ladders combined

“407 million souls, that’s not that bad!” Me: You’re insane

Imagine the last giant’s face when you first leave things betwixt and he sees you.

Knowing the dark souls community, with creators like ymfah and zerolenny, I can guarantee that someone out there is legitimately doing this challenge right now

When I clicked this video I thought he was going to be killing only the pigs at the starting area

I actually knew about that 20 fps jumping trick when I first played the game, but not because I was clever and figured it out or because I googled it, but because my computer was such a piece of garbage it ran the game poorly enough for me to discover it without giving it a second thought.

Getting max level in this game without any limits is surprisingly easy, just ~25 hours of killing the Giant Lord

He started farming when the game was released, he just finished

Doctor: "You only have just under a year left to live." Me:

Accidentally scheduled this for 5AM... congrats to the people who saw it during that mistake, haha. Assuming this video does well like the Dark Souls 1 video did, I'll make videos about the remaining games too. Not sure if there's enough content to dedicate one video for each game, but maybe I'll round them all off into one video, or something... not sure. We'll see.

Dark souls 2 is castlevania 2 simons quest all over again. Everyone seems to hate these games except me

Your vid hit my recommended feed, congrats

I wonder how long it would take to completely remove all life from the game. Go through every area, killing every enemy enough times so that they stop spawning.

I don't know how, but someday this knowledge will save my life.

I really like that enemies dissappear after so many kills because there are areas in the game that would've been impossible for me to get past without it, namely the lava area with the smelter demon and the ancient dragon area

Honestly, I like the limited enemy spawns. Gives you a way to trivialize Boss runbacks if you have enough patience.

Legend has it he's still standing behind that tree to this day...

Fantastically underrated. I would love to see more of these types of videos in the future :)

This is very well made, your Limit breakers if he uploaded more than once ever decade, thank you!

I think this respawn stop mechanic is one of the best parts of dark souls 2. In my opinion this should have been refined and used for all later souls games as well

Hello everyone! I'm curious, how are you finding this video? It seems to have gotten a big boost recently (from around 2.7k views up to nearly 8k now in a couple of weeks) and the analytics aren't telling me much. I'm wondering if it got posted anywhere in particular or if the algorithm decided to push me a bit.

Finally the content I've been waiting for. So happy this video was suggested. Subbed instantly

This game is so beautiful. I wish more people would give it an earnest try, there is so much art in this game.

Imagine doing the same 1,5min activity for 3 years, every day all day thats insane xD

love your voice also this is insanity

subbed, absolutely love the videos, please don't stop making them

Didn't know I needed this but I sure did, hope we'll see one for DS3!

I am interacting with content I enjoy :)

So, if we included leveling into the equation, it changes quite a lot for this. First of all, the main door this opens is that the cleric's weapon has a B scaling in strength, and once you get a high enough level you should be able to 2 shot every enemy in the run. This means that: 1. You no longer have to use the tree strat to kill the enemies 2. You will be able to include the 2nd Falconer into the run, increasing the amount of souls substantially 3. Since you don't have to wait for the enemies to essentially kill themselves you will be able to kill them much closer to the bonfire, as well as kill them faster in general, decreasing the amount of time per run by quite a bit 4. Since you're able to kill them properly you'll be able to pick up any of the potential gear they drop, which you should be able to sell to the cat for more souls And, most importantly: 5. It's going to be much less boring then just standing there behind a stupid tree. For the best and most consistent result I would recommend getting your strength to 20(which would require getting to lvl 23) before attempting this, which will should allow you to kill both the Falconers and Dark Spirits in two swings. Keep in mind that this will cost you 11032 souls. Just doing some rough calculations and using the exact same rate as shown in the video, this would net you 1911 souls per run and 76,440 souls per hour. The total time this would take just based off of that would be ~5329 hours, or 222 days. This would be around 7.4 months or ~62% of one year. Dividing this by .33 would end up being around 1.87 years. A total difference of .43 to the original value factoring nothing else in is huge, and brings this from almost no chance of happening to potentially occurring. Especially once you consider that doing incredibly long runs/speedruns already happens and I can see this being legitimately attempted by someone.

Loved the video considering this is my favorite dark souls game !

Very well put together. Good job

This is how much time it will take to be lvl max in Dark Souls lll in the Cemetery of ashes SL 1 to 802=2.634.163.943 souls required Class used: Assassin (SL 10) SL 10 to 802=2.634.163.943-811 =2.634.163.132 (you need 811 souls to be SL 10 when SL 9) Covetous Silver Serpent Ring acrease the number of souls per 10% Without Covetous Silver Serpent Ravenous Crystal Lizard=4k souls Iudex Gundyr=3k souls Sword Master=2k souls (*23) Hollows=20 souls (24 if the damage inflicted ≥150% of life) (drop 1 Fading soul=50 souls) 1 Starved Hound=10 souls With Covetous Silver Serpent Ring Ravenous Crystal Lizard=4.4k souls Sword Master=2.2k souls (*23) Hollows=22 souls (26 if the damage inflicted ≥150% of life) 1 Starved Hound=11 souls Souls to pick up : 2 Soul of a Deserted Corpse=200 {400 the two souls} 1 Soul of an Unknown Traveler=800 1 Sovereignless Soul=2000 (burial gift) Time : 4min 02sec73 12800 In the soul counter (by Ravenous Crystal Lizard=4.4k souls Sword Master=2.2k souls Iudex Gundyr=3k souls 2 Soul of a Deserted Corpse=200 {400 the two souls} 1 Soul of an Unknown Traveler=800 1 Sovereignless Soul=2000 (burial gift)) 13563 (Dead meanwhile) when every hollows and the starved hound were killed 8 hollow killed before the death = 8*26 =208 13563-12800=763-208=555 4,03×15=60,45 555*15=8325/h 2.634.163.132÷8325=316.415 hours = 36,09 years approximately BUT if we considers that the person plays 8 hours a day 33.33% of his day so 66.66% he does not play this will give: 36,09÷,33=109,36 years approximately

The despawning thing is actually a very useful mechanic when fighting against invaders. I don’t know why people hate that mechanic cuz it helps out a lot and it’s not like they permanently despawn you can just join that covenant and still farm so you have options here. The more you play dark souls 2 the better you understand how good the game is. The small white soapstone is probably the best thing dark souls has ever made and it’s only in 2 which is a shame. I’ve helped so many people get items and neat secrets after they’ve killed the boss in the area.

Some high quality vidz dude 👌 👏

Couldn't you level up with the souls (since that's the point) and get strong enough to kill them in way less than 1:30 eventually though?

This is quality content

I can't with myself. I deadass farmed desert sorceresses for their clothes and spell reusing orbs but I became a warrior of sunlight before I started farming so they despawned and I used a bonfire ascetic.

Yo dude this is sick great videos keep it up

Really cool video and video concept. Liked and subscribed

Best souls 2 forever

This is some runescape level grinding

I've always wanted a video like this

Cool video! :) Love the Souls games!

If only Soul Memory never existed...

Thank you for 200K views, everyone!

This is very enjoyable Lunacy

Dude you're awesome for this thank you so much lol

Darn it, I remember watching your Ninja Gaiden videos and when I saw that your latest dark souls video was getting views, I thought it would blow up. It kind of did, but not on the scale I was hoping. Always happy to see new content from you!

This is amazing.

Underrated channel

This is the content I want

2 is still my favorite, honestly

best souls II

Your video was on my recommended 👍🏽

Completely fucking unhinged. Subscrubbed, liked, and causing me severe intracranial hemorrhaging. Can't wait for the ds3 vid.

I've never seen those farming enemies in the game

Ds2 is still my personal favorite. It has by far the most replay value.

This game is just on an another level.

This what Miyazaki spected from the players to do after they realeased the game, i thinks this is the correct way to play the game, keep it up champ :D

Guess its too much to ask for a DS2 video that does not do the 6 year old "DS2 bad" joke. Still, interesting video. I've always loved useles datas like this. Its the reason i love Limit Breakers videos so much. :)

New video idea: How long would this video be if it was nothing but you gasping for air after every sentence?

This is art

Very interesting Great video

6:22 Classic DS2 hit box

Seeing the DS2 hate makes me sad. I love DS2.

This gave me flashbacks of farming Falconers in the vanilla version of DS2 try to get Sunlight Medals for the platinum trophy.

So, if someone decided to take on this challenge the moment this video came out we'd be near halfway there, kinda... Keep going personwhodecidedtobeatthis!

The delivery of the "your wrong" at 5:29 is fucking impeccable.

First comment, first time ever! LOL Cool video, shows exactly what to avoid even trying to do 🤣

We now need max level in the Caves of Learning and Remembering in Elden Ring.

nice vid

Tbh, once you got a few levels you can probably kill the enemies instead of blocking them into the abyss. This would improve the timing per run significantly

Even if this is possible, spending eight hours a day, every day, for over two years of your life doing this grind, it feels more insane than getting to level 99 in FF7 or Kingdom Hearts beginning areas.

I am begining the journey today. In two years time, I will be a legend

Good video.

I started off with ds2 sotfs and I love the game, it’s what made me play bloodborne and boy did I LOVE that game, now I want to buy ds3, sekiero and demon souls I made a knight class and dual wield 2 broadswords, each upgraded 10 times/max and currently at level 142

Still less than some grinds on RuneScape

I remember grinding for the earliest greatsword in the game only to not get it, found out about despawning enemies then joined the company of champions, sticking with it for the rest of the game since it's the game's hard mode which I would have most likely missed entirely if not for my terrible luck.

this is great. commenting to help the algorithm

I here before ymfah does this as a challenge

Oh good, I thought you meant Nillions with a N

Can't wait for the "Can you reach max level in the Cemetary of Ash in Dark Souls 3" video. It's actually quite a large area as long as you don't go directly inside Firelink Shrine, with plenty of hollows and even a dog.

FenoTheFox solving problems nobody has

Actually was an interesting video my guy. Whyd you stop uploading? I think you could get even bigger in subs

Nice but theoretically this could go faster depending on the device's load times after pushing the red phantoms and falconeer off you could jump off the ledge run back redo the pushing set up and reclaim your souls before jumpinh off again saving you runing back to the bonfire.

One thing came to my mind while watching this. by farming souls and leveling up wouldn´t the time to get the farming route get smaller by having more stamina for running?

The company of champions was a brilliant idea.

I know ds2 is the “worst” game by the fans but it’s the one I’ve spent the most time on, I see why people dislike it but idk it’s my favorite.

Dark souls 2 was secretly the best souls all along. I'm sorry you got snippy because souls 2 cared more about player progress than infinite enemies for your silly 'challenge'. Hell it actually enables the option thru the covenant. I actually didn't know what was a feature.

Now this is math I can understand

I like the idea of seeing how many souls you can get in every area of the game, kinda like a 100% souls farm.

This is clearly clickbate Dark souls 2 is obviously the best

i just use cheat engine.

Those are some serious SEWLS!

Would it potentially be faster to burn the ascetic at Majula and get the giant pig to spawn by killing the mini pigs a bunch of times? I don't remember whether or not he respawns, but if so, it could be faster. You have to kill the mini pigs a bunch and then the medium one and then the big one spawns.

Ds2 is the best Dark Souls I’m not even joking

I joined the Covenant of Champions on three different characters and the enemies still despawn... Why?

Damn that’s pretty good actually. Curious

the algorithm has blessed you lol
