About Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin Services
/// Two Ways Into Drangleic: The Scholar Of The First Sin Saves And Platinum
Two saves at $50 each: a +10 armory in several infusions, or an ultra save with max souls
Ultra save: four Rings of Blades, every infusion, every spell but hexes and maxed covenant ranks
The 38-trophy Scholar of the First Sin platinum from $15, DLC spells included
Dark Souls 2 punishes in its own way. Every death while hollow takes 5% off your max HP, down to half your bar, until you use a Human Effigy. Farming has a ceiling too: enemies stop respawning once you have killed them enough times, unless you feed the bonfire a Bonfire Ascetic. Infusions wait until you find Steady Hand McDuff a Dull Ember, then cost a stone for every weapon you want to change.
We sell two saves for Scholar of the First Sin, both $50. The Dark Souls 2 modded save is a finished armory. It holds several infused copies of every weapon, boss weapons included, with gear at +10, every ring and a full item box. The Dark Souls 2 ultra modded save hands you max souls and stats at 1, so you build the character yourself. Both run on the PS4 version, which PS5 owners play through backward compatibility. The Dark Souls 2 Platinum Trophy covers the 38-trophy list.

The Modded Save: A Finished Armory
This save carries ten characters. The second slot is the main, verified character, and the other nine come along as extras whose contents can vary. The main character owns several copies of every weapon in different infusions, and the boss weapons are part of that. Weapons and armor are upgraded to +10, every ring is in the bag, and your items are stacked close to the cap.
The item box holds more again, including spare weapons and armor. In practice you can test a Fire build against a Dark build in one evening, without McDuff, without stones and without a single Titanite run.
The Ultra Modded Save: Max Souls And A Blank Character
The ultra save starts from the other end. Your stats are edited down to 1, and max souls sit on the character, with a second max-souls bloodstain waiting in Majula. Take them to the Emerald Herald and level whatever build you want, from pure Strength to a sorcerer.
The gear is where it gets strange. Four Rings of Blades are equipped at once, which the game normally refuses, since it never lets you wear two of the same ring. Catalysts come with huge scaling, every shield is +5 with boosted defense, and armor is at max upgrade with duplicates. Weapons come in every infusion, including weapons the game will not normally infuse, plus reskins you cannot get by playing.
Mule rooms at Cardinal Tower hold every spell except hexes and every covenant ring. Most bonfires are already lit, so the travel menu covers most of Drangleic from the first load. Every covenant rank is maxed as well.
Where The 38 Trophies Slow You Down
Trophy guide estimates run from 50 to 90 hours. Expect two full playthroughs and part of a third, because Master of Miracles and Master of Pyromancy only finish early in the third cycle. In Scholar of the First Sin, the four spell trophies also count the spells from the three Crown DLCs.
The gold trophy Selfless Giver wants one covenant at max rank. The Heirs of the Sun need 30 Sunlight Medals for that. The Pilgrims of Dark are the other common pick: you find Darkdiver Grandahl in three places and clear the Dark Chasm of Old.
The NPC trophies are where runs fail. Lucatiel has to survive three boss fights as your summon before you speak to her in Aldia's Keep, or she vanishes until the next cycle. Benhart of Jugo has to fight the Looking Glass Knight with you. Captain Drummond has to live through the Giant Lord fight in the Memory of Jeigh. Laddersmith Gilligan wants 12,000 souls for his longest ladder, and McDuff wants about 15,000 souls spent on his stones. Add every gesture, the four primal bonfires and a crowded Majula, and the list stops feeling short.
Scholar Of The First Sin Only
Both saves are built on Scholar of the First Sin, the 2015 release with revised enemy placement and all three DLCs inside. The original 2014 Dark Souls II will not load them. Choose PS4 at checkout even if you play on PS5, because the game runs there as a PS4 title. Our platinum unlocks that same PS4 list of 38 trophies.
Placing An Order
A private chat with a member of our team opens once you pay. Share your PlayStation login in it, and the save reaches your account in 20 minutes to 6 hours. The platinum can ride along as a tick-box on either save, $15 instant or $25 real. Bought on its own, it is done in 2-24 hours.
Still hungry for punishment? Try Dark Souls Remastered or Dark Souls 3, or step outside the series with Lords of the Fallen.
FAQs
Which Dark Souls 2 save should I buy?
Take the modded save if you want gear: infused copies of every weapon, boss weapons included, +10 gear, every ring and a full item box. Take the ultra save if you want to build from scratch with max souls, four Rings of Blades, spells and maxed covenants. Both are $50.
Will these saves work with the original Dark Souls II?
No. Both are made for Scholar of the First Sin on the PS4 version. If you play on PS5, you are running that same PS4 version through backward compatibility, so pick PS4 at checkout.
Why does the ultra save set my stats to 1?
So the max souls go into the build you choose. Talk to the Emerald Herald in Majula and level the stats you want, then pick up the second max-souls bloodstain if you need more.
What are the ten characters on the modded save?
The second slot is the main, verified character with the full armory. The other nine slots come as extras, and how much each one carries can vary.
How long does the Dark Souls 2 platinum take?
Trophy guides estimate 50 to 90 hours, across two playthroughs and part of a third. The spell trophies, Selfless Giver and the NPC equipment trophies such as Lucatiel take the most planning. Our team finishes the full list in 2-24 hours.
Can I add the platinum to a save order?
Yes. Both save pages have a platinum tick-box: $15 more with instant timestamps or $25 more with real timestamps. It unlocks all 38 trophies on the Scholar of the First Sin PS4 list.
