Or whenever you are not ready, as my first trip to the Tower from the second DLC pack showed. The best part about the Scholar of the First Sin version is that these areas are incorporated from the very beginning, and so you can go to them whenever you are ready. Each of these DLC packs adds a whole new area to the game, along with a very challenging path to the bosses of said areas. The DLC that was included in the Scholar of the First Sin edition was The Lost Crowns, split into three parts on first release – The Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the Old Iron King and finally The Ivory Crown. Fittingly, I’ve just broken this one playing The Surge 2 – maybe I’m just not cut out for these types of games. Many bad words were said and a new controller bought the next day. The last straw came when I turned to talk to my wife, removing my hands from the controller, and it proceeded to walk my character off a cliff, losing the 50,000 souls I’d spent about 45 minutes of collecting.

As it is, I instead ended up sacrificing a controller to this game, as after a bit of play (and maybe a few slam downs and one full tantrum toss) my controller seemed to develop a habit of moving my character when I wasn’t touching the left stick. Thank goodness then that there was the ability to summon other people to your game world, to help take down the bosses still present and correct, as without it I – and many others – may have just given up with DS2 altogether.

And then less and less as you keep failing. Think about what this means for a moment: if you are fighting a boss and it kills you, as is the most likely outcome, if you didn’t have any way of undoing this the next time you challenged the boss it would be with half health. If you died – and as this is a Souls game it was almost inevitable that you would – when you were resurrected or respawned your available health pool was cut in half. There was one other change that was made to Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin that had a massive impact on the gameplay. To avoid this fate, we have to travel to the fallen kingdom of Drangleic, and as luck would have it the Emerald Herald is looking for a volunteer to slay four Old Ones and recover their Great Souls. Why and how isn’t clear, but what is a certainty is that our future holds nothing except becoming Hollow and losing what little humanity we have left, eventually becoming a zombie-like being with no memories, no purpose and, worst of all, no hope. Basically, as far as I can make out, we were Human, in the beginning, but have now become Undead. The storyline of the game is again, as it was in the first game, somewhat difficult to uncover, as Dark Souls 2 doesn’t do much of a job of explaining what is happening to you, or why. A suitably doom-laden title for an oppressively difficult game, to be sure, including all of the previously available DLC as well as upgraded visuals, new online features if that was your bag and some slight tweaks to the storyline.

However, the edition of the game that I’m looking back to here is the first of the series to make its debut on Microsoft’s shiny new Xbox One (as well as PS4, obviously) – Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

The original version of Dark Souls 2 was released on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in March 2014, to a pretty good reception.
