No-Man’s Wharf – Dark Souls 2

Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that Dark Souls 2 has some strange design decisions. Case in point, No-Man’s Wharf. It’s an interesting level with lots of verticality, dimly lit houses and a moody dock. The problem is that there are plenty of Hollow Varangians laying in wait which might be able to gank you. Be wary of the Darkdwellers as well – without a torch, you risk taking tons of damage and suffering bleed ailments. Did we mention Suspicious Shadows with their fast attacks and bleed and poison damage? Die anywhere and you’ll have to go back to the bonfire at the very start of the area because fun!
