Five-Year-Old & Father Play Dark Souls 2 — Part 4 (Najka, Congregation, Rotten, Twin Dragonriders)
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 17/01/2021

Cheesing Scorpioness Najka is actually one of my favorite parts of this underappreciated little game, and Evangeline, aka T1StoneforgeMystic, loves it as well. Standing on Najka's back makes her go from a threatening arachnid sorceress to a meek little statue, unable to even attack you. The way to get up there, sneaking up her tail, is silly brilliant and I love to do it even though fighting her isn't even hard at this point.

This episode was spent trying to acquire another Bonfire Ascetic so that we could fight The Rotten one more time, thus finally having enough souls to bypass the Shrine of Winter early. To get it, we went through Prowling Magus and Congregation, one of the easier bosses in the game, as most of it is made up of random mobs. That said, 2p1c with a five-year-old can make anything harder, and I also wasn't as careful as I should have been.

Once again, since she and I had already beaten The Rotten together once, I took on the NG+ (and NG++ and NG+++) versions myself, saving us time and saving her focus for the upcoming area: Drangleic Castle.

Our last boss of the night was Twin Dragonriders, which we were thankfully able to take out early on. Yes, locking on when I meant to turn the camera is a rookie mistake, but I think that I've become more used to it since then.
