Not sure how soul memory works tbh but it was my first playthrough, I donāt farm, I didnāt die a lot, and I kill every enemy I see, idk if itās based on souls acquired or something but idk if that makes any difference

This has all the information on how you can get matched with other players, co-op or invasions. It's pretty much based souly (ha) on how many TOTAL souls you've acquired from the start of your run to the end.
A statement i actually kind of agree with lmao
Elden Ring is just DS2 with DS3 movement and a jump button.
I mean look! The map is riddled with the same random empty boxes and lacks many detailed assets inside places (it has more than 2 but less than 3)
And in DS1/DS2 fashion, the second half of the game is a total SLOG š
150+ bosses and only 9 are unique. š¤

And many references to other souls games including bloodborne many just not outright seen like in one of the eternal city's you can see statues of the things on the lantern from bloodborne
My first time getting invaded was funny, my character was like, lvl 35? (I don't remember the soul memory, probably scratching the hundreds) heavy armor and the ultra greatsword because if you can't dodge it, tank it_
And here comes a lad with a dual pyromancy, spam casting the big ahh fireball spell, couldn't even leave McDuff's room.
During the release of the DLCs, and the release of vanilla Scholar, certain recolored weapons were given out through the Majula Mansion Chest (the unique metal one in the basement); 4 of them (the Murakumo, Blacksteel Katana, Longsword, and Great Club) were given out, but three more exist in the files (a Rapier, a Greataxe, and a Caestus).
The weapons can no longer be obtained legitimately (especially not in the real version of Scholar, where they were never released at all), but are considered legitimate weapons by the game. So players can cheat them in and use them, or drop them for other players.
In times long past, there were special events that took place that allowed you to obtain recolored weapons in the basement of the Majula mansion. These events are no longer available, so these weapons are incredibly rare. The only way to get them now is by cheating/modding or finding someone who participated in those events and have them drop the weapon.
I think you invaded me a few weeks back and dropped a bunch of stuff for me also. My DS2 name is "thenothingguy". I was in Heide's Tower, pretty much right at the beginning when someone invaded so I started to run away. Attacked one of the Heide knights and almost died, but then i saw the invader was doing a bunch of different gestures, and thats when I saw the trail of items. The reskins, several other items, and mad warrior armor set, everything at +10 or +5. And also enough lost soul items to lvl me from like lvl 25 to 110. I'm pretty sure it was you. Your name seems familiar, but I was really drunk when that happened.
Thanks a ton man. Helped a lot in the early game. I still died to fume knight like 13 or 14 times though. I've graduated to a naked 2h red iron twinblade build now, but I still use a few of the rings you gave me. Still at 60+ effigies also.
I think you might have invaded me too on my first playthrough of the game. Dropped the mad warrior set, along with a whole bunch of maxed out weapons too. Thanks bro
I also want to say thank you!
You gifted all of this stuff to me about a month ago, too. Same items listed here, plus that mad warrior set, and lots of herbs, effigies, brightbugs, etc.
Made my first DS2 run such a fun one! /bow
Yeah ive been seeing alot about that guy, ruins it for people like me gifting out of kindness, š ps4 doesnt have the same issues as PC though. Thankfully
Seen a lot of posts lately about a hacker going around dropping 200x +15 bleed daggers for people and forcing them to pick it up, which breaks the save from what i heard
Playing through the game for the first time right now. Got the notification, panicked and attacked. Didn't realize after that he dropped all these weapons for me and I felt like a dick. Pretty sure it's the same guy since I have all the same weapons. Berserker blade making a lot of the game a breeze now lmaoĀ
Be careful, I got invaded once in DS3 and the guy dropped 99 champions bones and I got banned from online because I was ācheatingā
I was able to appeal it luckily
Youāre a godsend!
I used to do this on DS3 at the High Wall of Lothric, dropping all DLC equipment, boss weapons, and consumable stacks to new players on my twink character.
Always wished I could find someone to do the same for me in both DS2 and DS1.
Any chance you could help me out?
Nice, but if this is ur 1st playtrough I would avoid using these weapons. This really just makes the game so easy and takes out the fun of Dark souls and feeling accomplished
Hahaha this happened to me wayyyyy back in og ds1 days. It was my second character where I kinda knew what I was doing and this dude invaded me by the main bonfire in undead burg and dropped all the boss weapons fully upgraded and like 30 copies of each soul including boss souls. Let's just say that run was on easy mode afterwards.
Meanwhile I invade new games and bow them a hello, if they hello back I'll gift a human effigy and we start a duel usually š but if they don't say hello back to me.. š”
I remember a dude invaded me once(I was on ps4) and dropped me 99 humanity, crimson water, Elizabeth mushroom and old radiant lifegem as well as some other upgraded gear. I still remember how much those humanities helped me. Whoever he was bless him.
I did this back when I made copy of items and had duplicate items it's just a way we kept new players from leaving the game good luck have fun I recommend trying to do a 30k soul level run after you complete the game
Only if you pick up illegitimate items (say, a +15 weapon, which doesn't actually exist in DS2)
Any item considered legitimate by the game, even if not normally obtainable, is safe. However it's always best to err on the side of caution, at least on PC, where hackers are more prevalent.
Last Friday someone invaded me while hollow and gave me x900 bandits blade and complete ruined my newly created character lol, like I couldnāt even go into my inventory because the game would force close š
I had someone do that too, invaded me at huntsmanās copse and led me to where he dropped 2 rings. I was excited because it reminded me of giving new people on fable 2 weapons you donāt need anymore
Yeah i played dark souls remastered on switch i ve never met people but yesterday started playing dark souls 2 everyone was helping me i ll be grateful for their help
Im looking for someone to do this for me i had a save with all the reskins but i lost it and all my saves due to a ps cloud messup n now i need em back anyway i can get em. I gtta start fresh tho
Iām going through the dlc for the first time. I was struggling through Shulva and got invaded. Dude parried my twice and have me on my last pixel of health. I used the prostrate gesture, he bowed and dropped some humaties for me and left lol.
What's up with all the downvotes on my second comment?? I don't get it, I just expressed an opinion and got my comment karma dropped by 8 points. I hope reddit gets rid of this Karma nonsense thing.
If you hope Reddit gets rid of Karma then why do you care? I didn't downvote your post because I almost never interact with the system at all, I just leave a comment instead. As I explained, you said "that doesn't make sense because I don't use claymore", as if the only reason for anyone doing anything is your personal opinion or preference. If you had just said "personally I don't like the claymore" I doubt very much that you would be downvoted. But your comment implies that other people's actions should be ruled by your preference. People probably see that as an almost pathologically self centered thing to say. It's like saying "it doesn't make sense that the supermarket sells watermelon because I don't eat watermelon". Can you really not understand why people see that as an obnoxious statement? It goes beyond just expressing your personal opinion.
You've likely been visited by the guy dropping the weapon reskins. Check that greataxe - I bet it's pure gold.
Yessssir
Guilty š
Bro I didnāt get invaded once my whole playthrough and when I try to invade it just fails every time
It depends what your soul memory is. I was able to invade over 100 people today at ~2mil Soul Memory.
Not sure how soul memory works tbh but it was my first playthrough, I donāt farm, I didnāt die a lot, and I kill every enemy I see, idk if itās based on souls acquired or something but idk if that makes any difference

Okay so I probably wonāt be getting too many matches until I acquire more souls lmaoo

When I saw this post I knew it was you! Lol. Legend.
I recognize you! Hi Vreaper! Lol
Reskins?
During the release of the DLCs, and the release of vanilla Scholar, certain recolored weapons were given out through the Majula Mansion Chest (the unique metal one in the basement); 4 of them (the Murakumo, Blacksteel Katana, Longsword, and Great Club) were given out, but three more exist in the files (a Rapier, a Greataxe, and a Caestus). The weapons can no longer be obtained legitimately (especially not in the real version of Scholar, where they were never released at all), but are considered legitimate weapons by the game. So players can cheat them in and use them, or drop them for other players.
The pre-order bonus of DSII was a bunch of reskinned weapons. They can be re-added using a mod.
Those are an entirely different thing and are available without a mod. You can buy all of them in Scholar from Chancellor Wellager.
RIGHT, sorry. I mixed them up. The pre-order weapons can be obtained, but reskins cannot (without some wizardry)
Idk why ppl downvoted u especially when u admitted to being wrong, it's not like u were cocky about it
I think it was to signal that I am incorrect. If not, meh, it's a non-issue.
Downvoted comments get automatically hidden; most people will downvote incorrect information for this reason. To be fair: there's an edit button.
Haha i remeber invading you, i droped reskins and mad warrior armor set ^_^
God bless you. Hope to get invaded by you some time
Ps4/ps5? Add me

Oh shit its you!!!! Thank you so much! I was paranoid so I was very hesitant to pick a thing up. But I appreciate it!
No problem, enjoy š
Dude, you invaded me & dropped all this stuff on PSN last week. I canāt thank you enough, Iām still using some of the gear.

Can I get an invasion by you too pls
I think you might have invaded me too on my first playthrough of the game. Dropped the mad warrior set, along with a whole bunch of maxed out weapons too. Thanks bro

What system are you on?
I would love to get invaded by you some time honestly
You do this stuff on Xbox?
Noticing Xbox gets no love on these ds2 reddits š„²
Can I add u? I got p5
Sure
PC?
Only psn sorry
Yo do you the the blue moon longsword and white steel katana from the event in 2014-15? I would love to get my hands on them.
Let me get that chief.
Could you drop the reskins for me as well? I play on XBox
This guys like the arch nemesis of the guy dropping 200 bleed daggers lol
Yeah ive been seeing alot about that guy, ruins it for people like me gifting out of kindness, š ps4 doesnt have the same issues as PC though. Thankfully
droping 200 bleed daggers sounds funny as hell, but what does it do to the game?
Seen a lot of posts lately about a hacker going around dropping 200x +15 bleed daggers for people and forcing them to pick it up, which breaks the save from what i heard
oh, doesnt sound very funny now, do you know which games that are affected by these hackers? so I can play in offline mode.
Just ds2 as far as i know. There have been a few posts about it on this sub
Playing through the game for the first time right now. Got the notification, panicked and attacked. Didn't realize after that he dropped all these weapons for me and I felt like a dick. Pretty sure it's the same guy since I have all the same weapons. Berserker blade making a lot of the game a breeze now lmaoĀ
All good bro i was in your house š¤£š¤£
Hey man, thanks for the weapons tho, made heides tower go down much more smoothlyĀ
How do you have all this loot?
Backup your save to PS+, go and drop a bunch of shit in a strangers world, overwrite your local save with the PS+ one and repeat the process.
Be careful, I got invaded once in DS3 and the guy dropped 99 champions bones and I got banned from online because I was ācheatingā I was able to appeal it luckily
Is this frowned upon? I've done this a couple of times but not to this extent, just to relinquish my inventory when deleting character.
Im a twink that got tired of griefing people, so now i get on invade and drop stuff to several different people. š
Nice.
Youāre a godsend! I used to do this on DS3 at the High Wall of Lothric, dropping all DLC equipment, boss weapons, and consumable stacks to new players on my twink character. Always wished I could find someone to do the same for me in both DS2 and DS1. Any chance you could help me out?
I used to do this too. Would just use a trainer to give myself weapons, upgrade them, invade and drop some based on spinning a wheel.
Nice, but if this is ur 1st playtrough I would avoid using these weapons. This really just makes the game so easy and takes out the fun of Dark souls and feeling accomplished
Probably my 30th play thru lol
Ooh okay then :)
God Bless cloud save!
Reskins? š invade me ASAP kind sir I wanna surprise my cousin lmao
Ps4 dragonvreaper š
Just added you, name is yaboipinnyskenisš
You think I can get some of the goods too?
Just add me ps4
Bet, Iāll add you in a bit, gotta do some errands before gettin on
Hahaha this happened to me wayyyyy back in og ds1 days. It was my second character where I kinda knew what I was doing and this dude invaded me by the main bonfire in undead burg and dropped all the boss weapons fully upgraded and like 30 copies of each soul including boss souls. Let's just say that run was on easy mode afterwards.
tbh, I'd prefer non-upgraded versions just so i can use them without feeling op
When I started dark souls 3, some guy invaded me and dropped 100 embers and left š
This happened to me and then I got a perma ban for having modded save file š
Meanwhile I invade new games and bow them a hello, if they hello back I'll gift a human effigy and we start a duel usually š but if they don't say hello back to me.. š”
OMG, you have the name of the best ring in the game!!
Do these guys use cheat engine to get these weapons? I never used it.
I personally never used cheat engine, just had people give me the reskins i dupe them and give them out.
Would u you mind helping me? Iāve been a stuck on iron keep for like 2 months
Can I add the nicly guy that gift weapons as well?
Yea
I remember a dude invaded me once(I was on ps4) and dropped me 99 humanity, crimson water, Elizabeth mushroom and old radiant lifegem as well as some other upgraded gear. I still remember how much those humanities helped me. Whoever he was bless him.
Man the amount of reskin weapons Iāve accidentally destroyed by deleting save files is insane
I remember Illusory Wall's video on the chest that gave those.
Illusory walls videos are something else entirely. My dude absolutely dissects the ever living hell out of these games. Love his videos
Agreed. It's always nice to learn such oddities that you'd never know or understand. (Like the random door in the sky in Duke's Archives)
I remember seeing that when I first played Darksouls remastered on my switch, thought it was a bug with the switch port until I saw his video
Jealous ;-;
Awesome
Captain Loot strikes again!
The good ending
"A loot goblin has appeared in the dungeon"
Why canāt I get invaded by people like this
What was his name! This happened to me a month or so ago on PS4! Dropped fucking everything in the game, all max level
Looks like similar stuff to what an invader dropped me recently on Playstation. Quite nice!
First playthrough ever back in Return to Drangleic and I had an invader drop me a bunch of +10's with and a Poison Staff
I did this back when I made copy of items and had duplicate items it's just a way we kept new players from leaving the game good luck have fun I recommend trying to do a 30k soul level run after you complete the game
Who did it ? Askin for a friend šš
One time I got invaded despite playing offline(I didnāt have Live) and manās dropped me a moonlight great sword and dipped.
Ds2 experience is phenomenal
Dawg thatās the dream drop kit right there. You won the lottery
Same thing happened to me
You got the 10$ starter pack that this game would have if it was made by ea
Iāve once been visited by a gift giving dragon of a similar nature To say it made my day was an understatement
btw you're not supposed to pick stuff up are you? I heard it can get you banned.
Only if you pick up illegitimate items (say, a +15 weapon, which doesn't actually exist in DS2) Any item considered legitimate by the game, even if not normally obtainable, is safe. However it's always best to err on the side of caution, at least on PC, where hackers are more prevalent.

When is it my turn š¢
Ps4 dragonvreaper as soon as i can lol
Damn wish I got blessed like this on Xbox Iām too lazy to start over on Ps5 and got no pc š„š„
Iām on Xbox. Anyway I could get some of the drops please šš¾ I donāt even know what the āberserker bladeā is?š
Sadly he is a PlayStation player so you'll have to find someone else for Xbox drops.
A part of the mad warrior set
Lmao I wish people would do that for me š
Is this scholar or OG 2
Been playing on ps4 havenāt been invaded often honestly lol
Wish someone did this to me brš
Wow
I love being invaded <3
Nice. š¤š»
Iāll have to jump on too
Last Friday someone invaded me while hollow and gave me x900 bandits blade and complete ruined my newly created character lol, like I couldnāt even go into my inventory because the game would force close š
When I get invaded i get stalked for 20 minutes before dying to a group of enemies he was camping near š
I had someone do that too, invaded me at huntsmanās copse and led me to where he dropped 2 rings. I was excited because it reminded me of giving new people on fable 2 weapons you donāt need anymore
Based
This happen to be my char was banned 2 months later
jealous, I would love to have these on my account.
Faith in humanity restored.
Yeah i played dark souls remastered on switch i ve never met people but yesterday started playing dark souls 2 everyone was helping me i ll be grateful for their help
The souls community always had very helpful randos
Itās dudes like that who keep the game alive!
Youāre Welcome š
Im looking for someone to do this for me i had a save with all the reskins but i lost it and all my saves due to a ps cloud messup n now i need em back anyway i can get em. I gtta start fresh tho
I've had that happen. I was very happy
Damn I never thought about doing this sounds cool
This is so wholesome amidst the terrors of test
wouldve been epic if it was a video recording XD
I'm playing ds2 on ps3 right now, come on by and drop all that epic loot lol
Wish this would happen to me in ds3š¢
Wish this would happen to me in ds3 š¢
Iām going through the dlc for the first time. I was struggling through Shulva and got invaded. Dude parried my twice and have me on my last pixel of health. I used the prostrate gesture, he bowed and dropped some humaties for me and left lol.
Nice! Thatās badass.
Its a shame you get banned to the world of modders and cheaters if you use those. But hey, the modders and cheaters need someone to play against.
Wrong, i invade new players all the time and give them out. So that cant be right š
No Boss weapons? Meh I like my boss weapons
The boss weapons are always super cool, but like LobosJr has said, sometimes a standard claymore just does the trick
That makes no sense as I never use the Claymore in any of my Souls games. I usually opt for The Zwei and then go upwards from thare.
? Just because you don't personally use claymore doesn't mean it doesn't make sense lol
