This is very helpful. After beating The Rotten, I was rather confused on where to go next, so I wasted 6+ hours trying to find Undead Purgatory. On future playthroughs, and will be super helpful in the future, I'll wager. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I was trying to keep the wiki open on my 2nd monitor while playing but every time I launch the game it minimizes everything on there for some odd reason, think something to do with playing the game in 4K on my 1080p monitor that supposedly doesn't support 4K but some games still allow me to play in 4K, Dark Souls being some of them. So this makes it as simple as opening the Steam overlay to take a quick peak at to remember where I'm going next!

Map is for vanilla ds2, not SOTFS

It's really helpful. I know some people say it's casul stuff but man... I have work and ain't got whole day to detective search the right location.

I don't remember. It's not that relevant though lol. Starting class doesn't determine much other than starting stats.

OP which class did you start on?

Thank you alot . I thought I was in a over-leveled area and just was so confused

Thats great guide, i wish dlc keys + how enter was there as well

If I had any points left, I would give you a "extra helpful" award

Dark Souls 2 is confusing and doesn't make any sense
