Welcome to Dark Souls 2! ATTENTION: All my Dark Souls 2 videos are for helping purposes and learning where to find certain items. I do not in any way claim to be good at this game, nor do I think I'm very good. So please steer clear of pointing out flaws in my combat. This is a video showing how you how you can obtain the Black Dragon Armor and the Black Dragon Greatsword. These two are in fact covenant rewards for the Dragon Remnants covenant. Rank 2 for the armor and rank 3 for the greatsword. Rank 2 requires 20 dragon scales while rank 3(max) requires 30 dragon scales. The "correct" way to get these is to duel other members of the covenant in PVP. Win and you get a dragon scale. However, if you're like me and not all that into PVP, I have an alternative way for you. It requires bonfire ascetics and defeating the Guardian Dragon in Aldia's Keep 20-30 times. There will be a dragon scale to your right before entering the elevator after the boss fight. Another source of dragon scales would be the Dragonfang Villard red phantom in Dragon Shrine. If you decide to farm him, burn your ascetics at the bonfire in Dragon Shrine. Defeating the Ancient Dragon would be required for this though. ================================================ Area: Aldia's Keep Location: After the boss. STEPS: 1. Farm 20-30 dragon scales in Aldia's Keep(depending on wether or not you want the greatsword). In order to farm the dragon scales, you will need to fight the Guardian Dragon every time you want to obtain one single dragon scale. The boss is somewhat simple. As a spell caster, I had no problem at all defeating this boss. The sorcery method clearly shows how ridiculous sorceries can be. I can't remember that I struggled all that much against him with a melee character on my first playthrough either. Of course, he gets stronger with every bonfire ascetic up to bonfire intensity 8, but the strategy would still be the same. Try to bait him into doing his fire breath on the ground, run up to his side and slash away. Once he flies up in the air, he will do one out of 3 things. He can fly up in the air and fire a fireball at you. This is very easy to dodge and can be used to get it a couple of attacks right after he lands. The second one is when he flies up in the air and breath fire. This one is a little bit more difficult to avoid. Locating him and running below him or to the side of him seemed to do the job for me everytime. The final attack he can do is when he flies up and grabs the side of the giant cage. He will breath fire towards you, but you can easily avoid this by backing up as far away from him as possible. This is also a very good time to heal up or do whatever you need to do. Another attack you might need to look out for while fighting him up close is his bite attack. He bites at you in a horizontal way. Dodge to the side or back away to avoid being hit. He can also stomp at you and smash his tail at you, if you're by his back. Dodge to avoid the stomp and simply avoid going behind him to avoid the tail slam. 2. Pick up the dragon scale to the right before entering the elevator after the boss fight. 3. Repeat step one and two 20-30 times. 4. Once you have all the dragon scales you need, head over to Dragon Shrine and pick up the Petrified Egg. Follow the path I take to get to the egg. Be aware of the invading NPC, Dragonfang Villard. 5. After obtaining the Petrified Egg, warp over to Iron Keep and talk to Magerold of Lanafir. Give him the egg when he asks and then join the Dragon Remnants covenant. 6. Offer all your dragon scales. 7. Use your Dragon Head Stone and the Dragon Torso Stone, which are found in your inventory. Using the Dragon Head Stone will equip the helm. Using the Dragon Torso Stone will equip the rest of the armor. Note that the armor can't be taken off until you die. If you die and want the armor back, simply use the stones again. 8. And most imporantly, enjoy being a dragon! You can breath fire by using the Dragon Head Stone after equipping the helmet and use a shockwave(?) attack by using the Dragon Torso Stone after equipping the rest of the armor. The Black Dragon Shield can be farmed from the Black Dragon enemies in Dragon Shrine right before the Ancient Dragon. ================================================ For more Dark Souls 2 videos, make sure to subscribe to ArcticCompany. http://www.youtube.com/ArcticCompany Follow ArcticCompany on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ArcticCompany
