Dark Souls 2 Platinum Walkthrough ( Videos + Text )


duck360

Recommended Posts

Never go to New Game+ till you have 4 trophies left which are magic trophies.

 

Don't let Lucatiel of mirrah & Benhart of jugo die, you have to make them complete her duty by winning the boss fight, also when you talk with them be sure to keep talking till no new dialogue comes out.

 

Don't kill any NPC, they don't give much anyway and talk with them till no new dialogue comes out.

 

Platinum can be achieved in 25 hours if not using videos all the time, 50 hours if using videos and wiki.

 

You can use the bosses souls but some of them needed for spells, the ones needed for magic are: Ruin sentinel , scorpioness najka , velstadt , royal rat vanguard , royal rat authority , giant lord , darklurker and the NG+ New 4 Souls after beating each Route.

 

Videos & Text Guide

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD3vzM5f-W8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD3vzM5f-W8[/ame]

 

Things Betwixt

 

Nothing important in this location, this is where you choose your class and name, I prefer Warrior, After that you can just enter the fogged doors to train or proceed straight ahead to continue the game.

 

Majulah

 

This is the HQ in every souls game where you will be back here for leveling up and upgrading your weapon, also many trophies will be done here so I prefer sticking with the video since locating is hard, it won't take much time then be on your way .

 

Forest of fallin giants

 

When you see the name of the area look at the right for a bonfire, continue through going up the ladder and passing the fog door then up another ladder to open a door for the 2nd bonfire, UTurn and go down the valley to find the fire sword then go back to the bonfire.

 

Upstairs is an estus upgrade, go down the ladder near the bonfire and enter the fog door then jump on the right and continue into a cave to talk to the map guy then back to where you jumped.

 

Continue the up then drop down to talk to Pale if you need assistance in the first boss then pass the armored turtle enemy then turn left to enter the fogged door to open a shortcut and kill the gecko here, go back to majulah to upgrade your weapon and estus then get back here and down the elevator to fight the boss.

 

Boss: The Last Giant.

 

Keep attacking his legs and beware of his hand or leg attack, 2 attacks is enough, if gotten hit then run away to heal.

 

Now go back to majulah and watch the video At 17:20 to locate the next area.

 

Heide's Tower of Flame

 

On the right is a bonfire, continue the area till you find a fogged door for a boss fight.

 

Boss: DragonRider

 

Keep running behind this enemy when he attacks attack him twice, repeat till dead nothing too hard to do.

 

Go up the stairs then talk with the girl till no new dialogue comes out then use bonfire, continue down this place till you reach the next area.

 

No Man's Wharf

 

Lucatiel of Mirrah: Near Bonfire ( Talk 1/5 ), At 25:30 ( Summon 1/4 ) Summon After calling the ship drop down then enter the house on the left then up the stairs.

 

There is some shards and rings we need here so try watching the video At 26:30 , also a magician is here but we will get him very later, use torch to scare the creatures, call the ship then drop down to the ground and call lucatiel, proceed to the ship then enter the fog door there for a boss.

 

Boss: Flexile Sentry

 

Once this boss attacks mirrah then run up to him and attack him twice then back away, repeat till dead and be sure lucatiel survives this fight.

 

Go up the ladder then open chest for estus upgrade then use the wheel, go up the elevator to reach the next area.

 

The Lost Bastille

 

Find the Bonfire here in the last cells, nothing important here except for the smith and estus upgrade, try using the barrel to open the wall for a bonfire near the smith, that's enough for this place now.

 

Forest of Fallin Giants

 

Select 2nd bonfire then go down the ladder and turn right then straight ahead to unlock a door, go up the stairs for a fogged door.

 

Boss: The Pursuer

 

At this boss I started using Lightning spear, if you don't have that then when he attacks and you dodge it attack him twice , if gotten hit then hide behind any projectile and heal.

 

After the fight, drop down the hole for a very good armor but heavy, go back to the boss area then use the bush on the ground.

 

The Lost Bastille

 

Lucatiel of Mirrah ( Talk 2/5 ) At: 38:25.

 

Now we are back here, use the bonfire then continue through the area into a door to a tower, talk with lucatiel of mirrah here till no new dialogue comes out then go to the bonfire next to the smith and go back to majulah.

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nh7IYCcPpU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nh7IYCcPpU[/ame]

 

Buy the cat's ring then drop down the big well till you reach the next area.

 

Grave of Saints

Boss: Royal Rat Vanguard.

 

Keep killing rats till he comes out, careful of petrification here and the boss is really easy.

 

After the boss is a rat, talk with him to get the rat covenant trophy, continue through the area dropping down with the cat's ring then facing the chest drop to the right and go right passing the blowing enemies, keep dropping down till you reach the ground, open the chest here for an item needed to join the blood covenant later , continue through the area.

 

The Gutter

 

Drop down carefully using the video to locate the bonfire here, and I prefer watching the video so you don't get lost and waste time till the next bonfire, now go down the ladder and drop down then destroy the barrels and go left to find an item, go right into the next area.

 

Black Gultch

 

Lucatiel of Mirrah ( Talk 3/5 ) At 8:05.

 

Once here go left for a bonfire, exit and continue the area, when you see 3 statues together on the right drop down before them and talk with lucatiel, now if you have magic and spell uses heal then drop down between the two worms and drop again, continue to find two giants , hide behind them and shoot magic till they die then go back to the bonfire, continue through the area and find the bonfire after the two worms on the right, use it and get back to majulah.

 

Drop down the well again to open a door, it will contain an important miracle you can find later but this one is very early, Great Lightning Spear will make the game easy, Now go to The Gutter 1st Bonfire, continue on through the first bridge then go left and jump then up the ladder, unlock the door inside for havel armor then go to The Lost Bastille Smith Bonfire.

 

The Lost Bastille

 

Magic: Hush At 20:05.

 

Now continue the place till you reach a fog door for a boss fight.

 

Boss: Ruin Sentinels

 

This boss can be hard if you are not using shield or magic, I prefer using magic and shooting from far away for the next 2 sentinels, as for the first one just attack him with sword.

 

After that find the hidden wall for a spell Hush, then go up the stairs and find the bonfire here, go down the ladder and use pharros lockdown and open the door for bellkeeper covenant, join them and exit the area fast, equip the ring and be called 30 times and win 30 times for the magic hidden weapon.

 

Now go back to majulah and speak with benhart of jugo sitting outside, go in and use the item on the girl then talk with her, give her any bad armor and exit the area to talk with benhart till no new dialogue to learn a gesture, go back in and use the handle, kill the enemies then go in and open the door on the left for bonfire.

 

Shaded Woods

 

Head of Vengarl Trophy At 26:00.

 

Continue the area till the next bonfire, keep hugging the left wall till you reach a guy sitting, talk till no new dialogue for a trophy then exit and keep hugging the left wall till you reach an edge, find the chest then go straight of where the chest is facing for a ring to decrease spell cast, now go back and hug the left wall to reach the next area, find the bonfire here.

 

Nothing important here right now, we will be back to this area later so continue through the place watching the video to locate the boss.

 

Boss: Scorpioness Najka

 

Very easy boss if you have magic , normal if shield and sword only, nothing special here just don't shield when she shoots magic so you don't get hit twice.

Continue the area and behind the big enemy is a bonfire, go back and up the stairs to reach the next area.

Benhart of Jugo ( Summon 1/4 ) At 30:25.

 

Find the bonfire in a tent then kill all the enemies in the area then call jugo in one of the tents, continue into the church and open the doors then into the fogged door for a boss.

One of the Easiest bosses in the game, just be sure jugo don't die when you win.

Go to the Doors of Pharos then continue on the other side and go up the ladder then continue into the next area, hug the left wall till you find and open path for bonfire and boss fight.

 

Boss: Royal Rat Authority

 

Keep attacking below his legs, if you have soul geyser it's just 15 sec fight.

 

Go to dragnleic castle 1st bonfire, go back to wellgar and exit castle then turn left for chest containing pyromancy.

 

Buy the ring of whispers from the cat in majulah then go to the shaded woods 3rd bonfire , go ahead then turn left and down the stairs then drop down and equip the ring then talk to scorpion for gesture, remember where you talked to dark covenant guy here? go there and enter dungeon, beat it up by killing all enemies and lightning up the altar then dropping down the hole behind the fogged door, heal the guy outside this place and kill him for a key then come back to the same place to unlock a door for a smith to save.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ri3t6BLpU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ri3t6BLpU[/ame]

 

Go to the Huntsmans copse and cross the bridge and turn right for another bridge, the enemies here abit tough so watch out and cross the long bridge being caution for the falls and enter the fogged door for a boss.

 

Boss: Executioner's Chariot

 

Keep shooting magic from far away then at the last hp he will fall and you will have to run a whole circle then shoot him.

 

Go up the stairs and talk with the blood covenant here and join, buy the pyromancies he give then leave.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSy9BQ3NYWU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSy9BQ3NYWU[/ame]

 

The 4 routes ( Iron Keep, Black Gulch, Sinner's Rise, Brightstone Tseldora ) Will have new boss soul, nothing to do in NG+ except for that and beating the game, once you have beaten all 4 great bosses go to straid and trade them for magic then beat the game and start NG++.

 

In here you only need to reach Drangleic Castle, once you reached it talk to wellgar for the magic.

 

I have tested that leveling up the last boss and glass knight doesn't affect him from selling the magic early ( Tested on NG and NG+ ).

Do you need to summon the NPC's for their storylines/items? I've heard you just need to keep them alive through the story, which sounds much safer than risking them in a fight.

 

You only need lucatiel and Benhart alive after boss battles, you can't fullfil their duty till you beat the boss with them alive, must be done on NG because NG+ is way harder, also they say you can repeat the same boss battle 4 times for lucatiel by burning ascetic and 3 times for benhart then talk to lucatiel at aldia's keep if you talked with her in all 4 locations and benhart too after you get the memory from the dragon.

nice guide duck360,

 

i missed the lost sinner and smelter demon for lucatiel, what are your suggestions? i don't want to use Bonfire Ascetic because it will make my ng+ harder

 

If you didn't talk to her in aldia's keep then go to black gultch 2nd bonfire and burn ascetic then beat the boss with her, since you failed twice then do it twice ... if not then make a new save only for lucatiel trophy and don't go for the spells and these stuff, it will take you 5 hours if you know your way through.

No because you need lucatiel with you and she must survive

 

yes u can, he sais with the ring, so hell be taking lucatiel with him, he meant without online help :).

 

I got the platinum last night. I died (lost count) in run 1, less then 20 in run 2.

Run 3 took me less then an hour without deaths. I admit to have used the jump technique, dont like to be forced to play a third time just for 3 spells. Soul Geyser ftw!

 

Time to hit ffx and continue with infamous ^^

 

dark souls 2 was a great game!

stats:

SL231.

hours: 94.(there is afk time in here, not that it matters)

Thanks for the videos. Can we have this thread as sticky?

 

No wait, am redoing it and will add 1.50 speed to the videos and they won't have me commenting in the video because it isn't good, also my magic location ain't accurate and where to go next or come back later isn't cleared so it has to be redone into 9 videos or less instead of 18 ! stick with the 18 one till am done, I have to master this sorry

Hey Duck pal,

How long did it actually take you from start to finish, the total playing time it states by your character in the select screen?

The actual time, no buts!

 

First time playing: Took me 40 hours to beat the game, once beaten I saw the requirements of every trophy and started new game.

 

New Game: I killed persurer and got the armor near him then went for bellkeeper covenant then sunlight then I beated the game doing lucatiel and jugo trophies then went and got the spells, thought I have to kill the dragon and didn't know about souls geyser so I fought him naked and won after 60 deaths to figure out that it's optional ....

 

New Game+: I just knew that there are 4 spells here but at the end I lvled up the last boss map and glass knight to 7 and wellgar didn't sell spells so I got mad and went here and saw that in NG++ he gives it

 

New Game++: so yeah I beated everyone except sinner who gave me a hard beating and after online help I finally beaten him and went to wellgar to get the spells and platinum trophy all in 40 hours as a second run through the platinum since the first one was for fun and everyone lived happily ever after.

 

Use Wiki for spells and covenant spells, get lucatiel and jugo trophies , have only 4 trophies left before going to NG+ , reach NG++ for last trophies, 25 hours or less for the guys who got dark souls 1 .

 

Use my video and wiki and it will take you 40 to 50 hours.

I just wanted to know how long it took you all in all.

I have my own ideas for speedrunning, just looking at other players experiences!

Somebody on PSNprofiles has managed it in 23hrs, now that's the time to beat LOL.

 

if you got the platinum once, your second time will be 20 or less, mine was 23 hours 2nd time.

I thought you said 40hrs!

Why not record that then?

Did you genuinely go from zero trophies to platinum in 23hrs????

I'm still not sold on the fastest way to rank up bellkeepers covenant, I can't find any1s experience that is a definite method to use. Every1s strategy seems to have some uncertainty about it. What do YOU think is the quickest method and how long EXACTLY would your preferred method take?

Thanks

I did some deals, I didn't unlock my platinum, I unlocked first for 40 hours, second time 23 hours , I deleted the users once gotten but that was the timing and I can do less.

 

1st Playthrough 18 hours, 2nd playthrough 3 hours, 3rd playthrough till dragnleic castle 2 hours, also I wasted some time standing or trying to beat the dragon again and testing some stuff.

Ok, I think I understand......:confused:

Did you use the shrine of winter glitch in 2nd and 3rd playthrough to bypass the gate quicker?

And what about the Bellkeeper question pal, the most important 1 lol?

Regards, Mart

I didn't use any kind of glitches in dark souls 2 , I used souls glitch on dark souls 1 alot, if you can by pass the gate then the game can be beaten less than an hour like that lol
