Can you use Bonfire Ascetic to get Old Witch Soul?

Yes, you can use a Bonfire Ascetic at the Saltfort bonfire in Sinner's Rise after defeating the Lost Sinner once to make her drop the Old Witch Soul, effectively getting it in your current playthrough without entering New Game Plus (NG+). This brings the area's intensity to NG+ level (intensity 2), allowing you to fight the Lost Sinner again for the special soul needed for the Flame Weapon spell.

The Lost Sinner is not easy (Bonfire Ascetic/NG+ For Old Witch Soul)

Why is DS2 so much harder than DS1?

Dark Souls 2 is often seen as harder than DS1 due to its focus on tougher, gank-style enemy encounters with high density, a weaker player character with slower rolls (due to Adaptability stat), punishing stamina mechanics, and insidious level design, making moment-to-moment combat more brutal, even if some bosses are easier. Players needed to adapt to new systems like the Adaptability stat (which controls dodge i-frames) and Soul Memory, feeling more vulnerable and forced to fight groups in ways DS1 rarely did, despite having infinite healing via Lifegems as compensation.

Why is Dark Souls 2 less liked?

The weak point of DS2 for me is the low variety of boss movesets, which makes the game a little easy. One thing I've already observed is that those who don't like DS2 are usually bad players, who only know how to play by spamming the roll button, and DS2 is very punitive with those who play this way.

Which boss souls are worth keeping in DS2?

You should keep most Dark Souls 2 boss souls in your first playthrough to trade with the two special blacksmiths (Straid and McDuff) for powerful, unique weapons and spells, as the souls themselves offer minimal leveling compared to the gear's utility, with popular choices including the Dragonrider Bow, Fume Sword, and Chaos Blade.

Is sinh hard in DS2?

I feel this is an accurate demonstration of the highest highs and lowest lows of DS2 bosses. Sinh was one of the toughest yet most rewarding fights I've had (in gaming in general tbh) whereas the Gank Squad was a miserable, frustrating slog I was just happy to be over with once they were dead.
