Dark Souls 2 Soft Cap (2024)

FAQs

What is the soft cap for int in Dark Souls 2? ›

The soft cap for intelligence bonuses appears to be at 40 intelligence. Intelligence affects the number of Homing Soul Mass and Homing Crystal Soul Mass. 15 INT = 2 orbs, 24 INT = 3 orbs, 30 INT = 4 orbs, and 40 INT = 5 orbs.

The softcap for Endurance is 20 and should only be more if you need more Stamina or used as dump stat. The softcap for Vitality is 29, and often times doesn't even need to be that high. The softcap for Attunement is irrelevant. Just get as many Spell Slots as you need.

This is a way to make sure you're never truly over powered. We'll use strength as an example in Dark Souls. Strength has a soft cap of 20 and a hard cap of 40. What this means is, as you level strength, you will get your biggest bonuses from 1–20.

The soft cap for adaptability appears to be at 39. The Bandit begins with the lowest Adaptability at 3 and the Explorer starts with the highest Adaptability at 12. Adaptability 3-10 gives 2 points of Agility, 10-20 gives 7 points, 20-30 gives 8 points, 30-40 is 7 points, 40-99 is 7 points.

Maximum Soul Level is 838.

A single Estus Flask is given to the player by the Emerald Herald in Majula when she is first spoken to. Additional Estus Flasks may be obtained with each Estus Flask Shard brought to her, up to a limit of 12.

Increasing the global New Game cycle by entering NG+ will increase the intensity of all bonfires by one stage, regardless of their individual intensities, until the difficulty cap at NG+10.

Hexes deal dark elemental damage and offer a good balance of offensive spells and self-buffs. They are divided into two categories: Staff Hexes and Chime Hexes, and are unique in that respect. Dark damage scales with the lower of the Intelligence or Faith stat. The soft cap for dark damage is at 30/30 Int/Fth.

Defeating Yhorm the Giant will automatically fast travel you back to the church at the bottom of High Wall of Lothric. This is also assuming you've already defeated Aldrich. Talk to Emma again. She will dissolve and you will be given the Basin of Vows.

Raising Adaptability improves action speed, such as evasion and drinking Estus Flasks. However, it does not improve the player's parry speed. Improving Adaptability also raises all status defenses (i.e. Poison, Bleed, Curse and Petrify), whilst also raising the player's HP and Poison Attack Bonus slightly.

Does SL matter in DS2? ›

Soul Level does not matter in summoning — it is purely Soul Memory that affects it. NG shares the same ranges as NG+. The Soul Memory threshold flattens out at 360M. Once you pass this threshold, you can summon and be summoned by anyone else past it, regardless of how large the gap is!

Hexes deal dark elemental damage and offer a good balance of offensive spells and self-buffs. They are divided into two categories: Staff Hexes and Chime Hexes, and are unique in that respect. Dark damage scales with the lower of the Intelligence or Faith stat. The soft cap for dark damage is at 30/30 Int/Fth.

In NVI, go to the profile settings. On the top there is a drop down field with game profiles, change it to DS2. After that scroll down for the frame limit and put it to 30, then hit apply on the top right. Now the game will always run with 30 fps until you change it again.

The maximum increase to souls gained is 57.5%, which is reached by wearing the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring +2, the Nahr Alma Robes, the Tseldora Trousers, the Jester's Gloves or Tseldora Manchettes, and any of the listed head armors.
