Game Suddenly Harder ! WTF ??

[Deko]

Im freaking out here.

In one minute I'm in Iron Keep owning all knights with my hammer (3 hits and their gone), the next minute they got a lot stronger. Now every knight is a whole battle, requiring 10 or more hits for them to die.

The only thing that I can think of is that I had infusioned that hammer with poison a few minutes before.

Ok. So maybe it's that. Just change the weapon, right?

No. It's like all of my weapons lost power. It's like I have lost my strenght. Or the enemies got stronger.


Has anyone been through this before? Do you have any ideia of what it could be?
I've spent so much time playing this, It's so frustrating to see all that effort vanishing with no reason.


Help :(

Why in gods name would you infuse a hammer with poison? That hammer is now totally useless.

On topic, I don't know what could be wrong but you seem to not understand a lot about the game in the first place. There's too many thing that would make enemies stronger or seem stronger.

Your weapons could be broken, you could have accidently used an ascetic, summoning shades and phantoms raises the HP of enemies and bosses. A ring giving you bonus damage ie: ring of blades could have broken or you removed a ring granting similar bonus's. Wielding a weapon single or double handed would affect damage too. Imbuing weapons with certain elements like your poison would lower base damage in half but allow you to poison proc, but it would be useless on a hammer like I said. elemetals work the same way, and some enemies are stronger against certain types of damage. In Iron keep they're weak to lightening, but resistant to fire and poison.

There's undoubtedly more but I'm out of ideas for now.

I wish that was the problem. It's not just the hammer.

It seems like all of my weapons have lost strenght.

No. It's not that.

Whatever you changed from before, change it back. Ascetic seems like it'd be really hard to do accidentally, but that's what it sounds like.

Where you using those weapons before? They might just be bad weapons. Also don't put poison on a hammer, poison decreases your weapon damage but enables poison build up, when the poison finished building up it deals a great deal of damage over a period of time, which means it is only good on fast weapons with little damage.

Actually I'm usually stoned when I play Dark Souls 2 and find it easier and less aggrivating when no ♥♥♥♥♥ are given.

So do I. It affects everyone differently, but pot isn't what I was referring to. Weed is harmless.

Edited that great.
