help Dark Souls II FAQ
Why does Dark Souls II feel different from the first Dark Souls?
Dark Souls II is set in Drangleic rather than Lordran and was directed by Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimura instead of Hidetaka Miyazaki. Its systems put more emphasis on stats such as Adaptability, hollowing penalties, and build variety.
What is Adaptability in Dark Souls II?
Adaptability affects Agility, which influences item-use speed and dodge invincibility frames. That one stat is a major reason Dark Souls II can feel harsher early on than Dark Souls or Elden Ring.
Should I play the original Dark Souls II or Scholar of the First Sin?
Scholar of the First Sin is the more common modern version and includes the three Lost Crowns DLC packs. It also changes enemy placement and is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
What are the three Dark Souls II DLC chapters called?
The DLC trilogy is called The Lost Crowns. Its chapters are Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the Old Iron King, and Crown of the Ivory King, all originally released in 2014.
