The Cohhilition

Okay so, first off, mods im not sure if this is the right place to post this but yeah im sorry if not!

Right guys, i started dark souls 2 and ive never played it, doing a dex 2 handed samurai like cohh, been putting my points in the right thing pretty much...but i dont know all the details.

For instance, on his stream chat said he doesnt need X amount of strength because hes two handing it?

Also, ive beaten last giant? And pursuer, and i found them 3 bosses...do i fight them?! Or am i supposed to go to that tower thing in majula?

And also, how am i supposed to know at what point i will get 'sluggish' if i have too much on?like i equipped that samurai you get from that hidden workshop guy you blow the wall to who first infuses and he was slow rolling until i took eeeevvverything off!

I dunno I'd just really appreciate some general dark souls 2 no shield 2 handed curved sword build tips if you can?

Massive love for you Cohh and Cohhilition, i hope you can help me!

Cohh might be power stancing. It is where you have 1.5 the stat requirement for the weapon you want to use. Allows you to wield the weapon differently..

Secondly, you can go wherever you want to go for bosses. That is part of the fun. Stumped on fighting one guy and want to try another area, go for it!

You will "fat roll" if you are too heavy. In your equip screen you will see units in the lower right. Like 12.9/44.0 as an example with a percent under that letting you know how heavy you are.

If you have any more questions hit me up!

Ohhhh right!

So how do i know if i dont need X amount of str because im just two handing it aswell?

Well ive done last giant, persuer,the guy on the pirate ship aaand i think thats it so far, died like hell to the ruin sentinals!

And at what % of my weight will i start fat rolling? When its full or?

Thanks for the help! Massively appreciate it!

To avoid fat rolling, keep weight under 70%.

If you want to two hand a weapon as is, you do not need extra strength. Only when you want to power stance. My bad on saying two hander, I mean't differently.

Good example is I am working with two rapiers with power stance. I can slash each one by themselves or I can two hand one and holster the other. Or I can power stance meaning I can attack with both.

Also remember you can summon npcs if the fights suck. Ruin sentinels are notorious for being a pain.

Aaahh i see now, im like 65% i think with avar amour is it? The one you need to spend 15k on to unlock

So i have a curved sword, so with triangle (ps controller) thats classed as power stance? Sorry if i sound dumb man!

I beat the ruin sentinals, the dragon and the old sinner? And the dragonslayer but now i dont know where to go?

I also unpetrified that guy who trades stuff for the boss souls in front of a bonfire

If you have a branch of yore, removes petrifaction, there is a door you can go to near majula. You could also go where you fought pursuer and walk upto a nest to be taken to the next area.

Hey right now I am streaming some DS2, if you have any more questions hop into chat and I will answer them!
