I Went to The WORST Area in Dark Souls 2! (I'll Never Go Back) 

“And the walk back, it’s the worst in the game” Oh boy do I have a particular area that’s part of a particular DLC

O sweet summer child. You still haven't been to the fridge outskirts

The worst area In dark souls 2 so far. ;)

Running through areas in ds2 almost always ends with a ganking.

Crazy how easier iron keep is with the greatsword when you oneshot alonne knights

The Iron Keep would be pretty cool if the aggro range on the Alonne Knights wasn't so absurd. A good tip for the game is to infuse your weapons with lightning. I did a recent playthrough with a lightning Bandit Axe and it was relatively easy.

Man this is just the appetizer to a whole damn buffet of shit levels. Godspeed Spicy

It was really cool to see you learn about the Basilisks! Stay humble Spicy, you're awesome.

I hear the bashing of Iron Keep. Iron Keep is horrible if you just wanna run to the boss. But this area is SO EASY if you just take it one at a time. Which makes sense to me. You would not charge into a massive fortified enemy keep willy nilly and take on everyone at once then cry about ganks. If you take it slow and bait out one at a time (which you don't need bows or throwables to do) its so easy. All you have to do is walk slowly and aggro 1 at a time. Also lifegems make it possible to still have more than enough healing for the eventual boss.

LOVING THESE SERIES I HOPE THERE IS MORE VIDS 💯🙏

for Smelter its a good idea to visit the trader Gavlan and buy the Poison pine resin, as you can poison the Smelter Demon :] gear that boosts fire defence is also prefered

After I finish watching your videos I sit there with my eyes closed bobbing back and forth to your absolute banger called outro music

Merry Christmas 🎄

Spicy I love ur outro song can you post a video of just that music ( the video is ok)😊

If someone got DS2 on the last promo and is having problems with this place, i strongly recommend taking it once at a time, kitting with a bow if necessary to avoid ganks. The 2nd tip is to pick a great hammer to deal with the ganks that are inevitable. Their 2-handed R2/RT does massive strike damage and knocks down enemies, giving you a lot of breathing room. The only downside is that you have to watch out for durability, but if upgraded enough/you have enough str it will single hit kill those alonne knights. And Large Club is the most accessible of the great hammers. Only requires 26 str (13 if 2-handed), only weights 12. You get it on Lost Bastille after ruin sentinels, going down the stairs on Servan'ts Quarter bonfire (obs: there is a pursuer down there).

Also, another problem people have besides the gank squads and traps you can’t prepare for; you noticed the s in your first episode. You actually start DS2 with less s than DS1 (and given I’m only seeing the short version since I just stumbled on your RU-vid channel, idk if your chat has told you about this), so to get it where you won’t get hit while rolling, you need to level up adaptability and that increases your s

I have PTSD from Shrine of Amana

ngl bro the twin blades are the worst weapons for that area

I had a huge iron keep armor farming adventure i thrived here, and on the other hand we have brightstone cove tseldora, my worst area by far, i cried

11:31 big ol' skwerpion

Funny how you still talk truths and keep editing at minimal for maximum impact. Love that I discovered you on youtube. Recenlty found Chad of Astora channel lying and incorporating bias into his videos. I REALLY REALLY apreciate a fresh take on Fromsoft. You are criminally underrated. And I love your videos. Thank you!

Cant wait for the next DS2 stream

Man, wait until he finds out Smelter Demon is optional... Oof

I guess you could say this episode was... SPICY.

"There's like 17 guys piling down on me" 3:51 sus

The worst area is a bug frozen blizzard area in the DLC

Yesssss more. I need moreeee

first off, amazing as always, second... the iron keep is the second worst area in this game. (non DLC) dont feel bad. this is still mazing content... but yeah its absolute bullshit lol, for the smelter you can use a pyromancy called flash sweat that helps and make sure you go back to the spider boss area for a soul and a memory. i hardly ever can catch your streams but if youre still playing that would be a good idea if chat hasent told you, and merry Christmas! (if you celebrate it)

wait for the shrine of amana

Iron keep is the worst 😂. Btw, if dex is your thing, your best friend is gonna be the Rapier. you’ll poke your way to victory, my friend.😊

peak gaming

5:10 Okay, as a DS2 veteran, my advice is this: Bait out one enemy at a time, kill them as safely as possible and repeat that process. Get a bow if you must in order to bait the soldiers out without bringing their comrades with them. For the bridge soldier with a bow, either snipe him back quickly or lure the swordsmen off to the side that will notice you very quickly back inside the building and kill him there. Rinse and repeat until there are just the archers on the bridge and in the far back. Lower the bridge (far back Captain sniper can be ignored for now) and lure the archers bodyguard down the ramp and back into the building to avoid the snipers covering fire. Then go kill the sniper. I’d highly recommend using bows and arrows for the enemies guarding the Smelter Demon rather than jumping down right into the middle of two captains firing lines and the three other soldiers that will come down to greet you with sharp metal pointy sticks. This will take a while, and it will likely grate on your nerves, but it works and is effective. The Iron Keep was where I learned patience in Dark Souls games, and I’ve been better at the games ever since. After the Smelter Demon you just have the bridge with the turtle knight trying to break it. He’s annoying and I always try to kill his buddy ASAP so I can avoid jumping over the gap he’d leave behind. Honestly I would recommend killing that Alonne knight until he despawns to avoid the turtle knights trap. After that, game gets a lot simpler

Hearing my name that much was a weird experience

Just beated this area, good thing my character can use hexes

iron keep has nothing on shrine of amana lol and shrine of amana has nothing on some of the dlc zones

Oh sweet summer child.

I remember when i got to iron keep i had to slaughter every enemy until they don't spawn again in the initial area to defeat this f-ing demon

If You use torch in your offhand the spiders stay away from you 💘 for those who don't know

Shrine of Amana is 10x worse. That area pissed me off so much.

can you do a elden ring radomizer mod play through please

Bro everytime I see a vídeo of ds2 I get more convinced that I Will never play that Game again

If you think Iron Keep is bad, man just wait for The Gutter aka Blighttown 2.0

I was actually really surprised when I played dark souls 2 and found that it was really fun, I didn't understand why people hated it to much, then I discovered iron keep and I was like "Oh I get it now". This place was comically unfun, the sheer amount of nonsense they throw at you is insane. For God's sake the route into the castle is literally just a single bridge and there are still two NPC invasions before you even make it into the building! Shrine of amana was bad but it isn't even comparable to iron keep

this guy is definitely one of the dark souls players of all time

It was pretty painful seeing him use one of the worst weapons imaginable, it would have been so much easier with a real weapon and not a gimmick.

Subbed. Binged ds1,bb and sekiro Playlist. George was peak. Id say do whatever makes you happy but this is a fascinating choice for game because of how janky it is and bc you're coming from later in the series back. To me it always pops out as the odd one

While I agree that Iron Keep is a 💩hole, the Gulch is the worst place in any soulsborne game

Twinblades was not the answer...

play SIFU “sekiro pro plays sifu for the frist time”

The second worst area in Dark Souls 2. Third if you count the DLC.

YOOOOOOOOOOO NEW PFP

can't wait till you get to Frigid outskirts the worst area in the whole souls series

Lies of Ppart 2?

Now Spicy knows why DS2 left a lot of people bad taste in their mouth

Oh buddy, you're just dipping your toes into the hell that you have brought upon yourself. I love DS2, but the first playthrough will make you invent new swear words.

dex is hard mode my dude. always do an unga bunga build in these game for the fun playthrough imo

Worst area is lost bastille. It’s too dark

Since i dont see the commenting comment in the comments guy, here is the comment from the comment guy who was supposed to say commenting comment in the comments

Unironically one of the best areas in the game (after your first time). I actually think the layout of vanilla is a little more difficult for a blind playthrough than Scholar but it also makes much more sense as well; so I like it quite a bit more in that version.

Comment

iron keep is definitely top 5 worst zones, but it's not THE worst. You'll get there.

Iron keep is literally the one of the best areas in ds2 and its not hard at all; So confused on what you think is difficult is it the fast knights? Just kill em.

Overall Dark Souls 2 isnt a bad game, its just that at its worst, its worst then any othet souls game

worst area in ds2 is ds2

Best part of this video is when the outro played... DS2 sucks ass :)

Spicy. For the last time, ADD DISCORD LINK.
