Is it possible somehow to play modded DS2 with co-op?

[Miles (Tails) Prower]

Hello everyone.

Herr a small question already in the description. The reason why I asked this is I used to play DS1 (both versions) with mods, and I managed to complete with a friend a randomizers run.

Now what recently I've discovered through videos of gameplay one of the mods for remastered called Ascended (or Ascension mod), what looks very interesting. And I checked on remastered version - the co-op is a thing, as long as modded setup is the same. Had a fun yesterday with a friend, it was a blast.

Now what I discovered, what DS2 also has this mod, and after remasterrd DS1 I am thinking to jump into the DS2 version. But I've never tried modded DS2.

So, is it possible to do the same thing on DS2?

you can but you'll get softbanned

Create a new acc and use the family share thing to not get softbanned in ur main account, then you and ur friend will get softbanned but you guys will be able to play together anyways, also tell your friend to create another account with family share to play modded ds2 as well. have fun tho

The problem with the ascended mod is they made the bosses so incredibly tanky it's just no fun.
It makes the bosses harder yes but not in a good way.
I don't wanna sit there for 20 minutes hitting the wharf sentry. Such an awesome mod and they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it with dragging out boss fights.
If that's your idea of fun then yes, go jump into DS2 ascended.

And here comes the simp army. I do not understand what You mean and why more people are pointing it out. On this very forum we already had couple of threads on this subject that were answered, correctly. Using google and search function SHOULD be the very first thing you use before writting a topic.

from what ive heard ds2 and ds3 ascended are focused on being harder and not to introduce new cool concepts and ideas

Sounds nice, haven't tried the DS1 mod yet.
In DS2 with 60+ dex you'll 2-3 hit anything with an upgraded bow.
Then you'll get to the boss and you sit there for 20 minutes pressing R1.
Also bows are, like i said OP in this mod but appearantly all the bosses have defense against bows out the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass.
I did like 12 dmg against the wharf sentries with a bow. GG, this ain't fun.

Well, the DS1 ascended feeds a lot with souls. I was like trying to pass forest. Even though I died a bit with a gravity, after like 3 tried I killed the Sif (which is a incredibly fast boi now), got 7M. And arrows a bolts not even cost that much.


Some enemy placements are kinda bit harsh, especially when mod developer gave abitlity for bigger enemies to fit through tiniest doors. Like where Andre is, there's a dragon, from which you can get Drake sword (Wyvern?), it placed in place of titanite demon. It will give you first time drake sword without cutting the tail, but it will respawn and has quintillion of health. If I haven't got avelyn with rust ring (which now has way different effect), the fight would take eternity to do so.

But overall, I enjoy the change of pace. It's like a new breath to the game. And the best about DS1 (Remasteret too) what there is an option to play mods online with no danger of softban, only if you will stop sending them info regarding the character. I do believe there's option for it. I will take a look next time round and tell what it is exactly what makes you allow to play modded experience with friend.

EDIT: btw, what I noticed, the mod basically tends to making approaches for different weaknesses. If you ever know how bosses being tackled in the game called "Mega Man", you might gonna have some idea regarding that. Maybe that bow dealt less damage because this boss having lots of thrust resistance.

[Krampus]

That's the reason why, yes. Most bosses ( atleast early game ) seem to be resistant to thrust damage, probably to negate cheese. ( bow, spear, etc).
But even without, i tried different weapons and spells.
The bosses after the last giant (the last 3 giants since there were 3) are just too spongey.
No matter the resistance, they just have way too much health.

As i said before, the mod is awesome and except the boss fights it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of fun to play with it but the boss hp pool is so massive that it actually made me stop playing instead of forciong my way through even though the rest is very enjoyable.

Oh God, I just imagined how Fume Knight Raime is going to be the most notorious in this mod. This will a sweet suffering xD
