Guide book

[I Like Watermelons]

Yo,
It seems that there was no guide book for this version, only original DS2.
Is it still worth to get it tho? Items and enemies placement is different, but overall many things and strategies are similiar I guess. Anyone have some thoughts and can share?

The only value you'd get out of it in terms of information would be vs. bosses. If it contains the DLC, then that is identical to vanilla too, though the guidebook won't be any help in finding the DLC keys, since they're found throughout the game, rather than being given at the start of the game, which is how vanilla DS2 does it.

There'll also be some misc. gameplay changes not being mentioned, like for example how torches scare spiders or the Forlorn, which not are present in vanilla DS2.

So in short, if you only want the guidebook to get useful information and not also as a collector's-item, then it'd be a waste. You would constantly be confused about the item and enemy placements and even for vanilla, there are much better and more optimized guides on the internet made by players.

There are more accurate guides you could use online for free and accurate to Sotfs, but I would recommend avoiding FextraLife.

Thanks guys, so it will be mainly just collectors item. I rarely use walkthroughs, just want to read some stuff about game that I love. It will be nice addition to artbook. Maybe its worth to actually play original DS2 and check this one too. As I will be getting guide book for it...
