Dark Souls 2 is the FUNNIEST Souls Game

The ivory King DLC has the funniest npc invaders where one uses camouflage and the other pretends to be friendly.

Bearer, seek seek lest.

“Why are these piglets so tanky?!?” -New Arrival; Majula.

"Vore is underexplored in this series" is not something I was expecting to hear today, but I'm all for it

The Gyrm that head-shots you with the giant axe on the way to doors of pharros

I will forever say DS2 had the best caster mechanics, having attunement slots, number of casts AND casting speed be affected by ATN and having hexes that scale with both INT and FTH made being a dedicated caster really fun. In all other games ATN is only worth it to have enough slots and then it's only really worth it to go for 1 (INT or FTH) for spells. It's why so many caster would have great shields and heavy armors, once you get 50 INT you can just dump stats in whatever.

Mini Aldia, Dragonrider falling, Rotten crying at his broken doll, Elana somoning pigs, skeleton killed at Chariot cutscene, Maldron, giants' faces, the windmill and that elevator, some enemies ignore you to go running. These are the comical moments I remember. Some npcs are fun to agro them, Cloanne has a unique roll animation, and Grendhal just rolls at you, if you get what I mean.

Knocking on random locked doors to see if someone opens it up

Killing the pigs in Majula eventually summons the MEGA-PIG. Why? Who cares? Its funny

Dark Souls 2 is the Oblivion of Souls games.

dark souls 2 is my favorite souls game by a metric mile and that's a hill I'll die on. It's so goofy I love it

YMMV on how funny this is, but i laughed my ass off when I was ambushed by Duke's Dear Freya outside of the congregation boss fight. Also, the fact you can piss off the Fume Knight so much that he just skips straight to phase two.

Why the hell does this channel not have more love?

It's even more, there are 10 'different' bosses you could fight first by my count.

Its always good to see some love on an underrated game. DS2 is such a vibe

Bloodpools are a hilarious idea that none of these games ever had again.

Also the knock knock jokes where enemies open doors for you

The little Bellkeeper guys, the little overpowered pigs in Majula, the gender swap coffin, this strange kinky dude with a key-sword-hole for a mouth, an actual in game voice chat, that guy who sells you ladders that are too short to be useful... Now that you say it there's a lot of quirky stuff in DS2. Although i personally remember it as the DS with the most (subtle) grim and melancholic feel to it i totally get your point. The list of unique mechanics and ideas is so much longer then the other ones and i just love it for that, even when some of it is kind of stupid. But on that note, i actually play From Soft games mostly for the vibes, art and exploration. So i get when people don't like it from a fighting mechanic perspective. But i actually would prefer an interesting unique gimmick-fight over a polished fight in an ever flat arena.

I'm reminded of how funny online was in ds2 at its peak thanks to this video (I played the OG and all the dlcs on their releases back on 360)
