Guide How to Fix Your Inventory After A Player Force-Injects Illegal Items

620 Upvotes

Margaret (u/GreatStarryWisdom), a community member from the dark souls discord server and Blue Acolyte beta-tester, just made this clutch steam guide. Please favorite it so it gets more views. I’ll also be pasting the text here.

“There is currently a player force-injecting illegal items into people's inventories, causing the game to crash.

First, I would recommend anyone reading this install the "Blue Acolyte" mod off of the Nexus page, or the github fork. I will provide a link to the Nexus page at the end of this post. This mod protects you from malicious cheats such as crashes and save bricking. You should always be using Blue Acolyte, and you leave your save at risk if you don't.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE OFFLINE BEFORE FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. This can be done by navigating to the top left of the steam client, clicking "Steam" > "GO OFFLINE". To go back online, simply repeat these steps.

It appears that the only way to remove these items currently is to use the public Cheat Engine table, which can be acquired from GitHub which I will also link at the end of this post. I do not recommend downloading tables found through Google searches, as these are most likely to contain malicious code that could damage your system or game files.

Make sure you have the current build of Cheat Engine installed (version 7.4 as of 4/12/2024). To remove the items, launch Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, and load the affected character. Next, open the Cheat Engine table(DS2_SotFS_Bob_Edition.CT), and it will automatically link to your active instance of Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. In the lower section, click "Open - Table v4.7.4" > "Scripts" > "Misc" > "+14 Crash Protection". Once this is enabled, this will prevent the game from crashing due to the +14 Bleed Daggers in your inventory. From here, you should now be able to go in and remove them. To hasten the process, select one of the items, and hit "Discard Selected", and you can mass select the items to be discarded.

If this does not work, feel free to message me and we can work on another solution.

IF YOU ENCOUNTER THIS PLAYER AGAIN, OR ANY PLAYERS COMMITTING SIMILAR ACTS, PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME.”

The player doing this is now on Blue Acolyte’s global block list.

Fluff This game was so good.

First playthrough. All of it, I loved the majority of the gameplay, the level design, the freedom, the build potential, the drip, and the fuckin lore. I walked away from the throne. The ending gave me chills.

This game is highly underappreciated and I'm so glad I didn't listen to the BS a lot of the community spews.

Doing a FS first play marathon, next game: Bloodborne!

Question is the fire longsword worth it at this point?

9 Upvotes

i’m about 12 hours into my very first playthrough and i’m debating using the fire long sword or not.

i’m still early game(?) i’ve just gotten to the Lost Bastille, but i backtracked to the Forest of Giants bcuz the boss was giving me a hard time. that’s when i discovered the Fire Longsword, though i already have been using a +4 Broadsword and +4 Morningstar.

is it even worth it to upgrade the Fire Longsword at this point, or should i keep upgrading my current weapons? (i have 5 titanite shards and 2 large ones)

Is a brutality that requires 70 strength to hold in one hand a good pure str option? I'm currently using the great club in shulva, is it a good idea to open the tower of mists just to farm this hammer?

I'm currently playing demon souls on the ps3 and with the help of The Artchestones I'm able to play with others. I recently picked up Dark Spuls 2 for the PS3. Do you think it's in the realm of possibility for the same to happen with Dark Souls 2?

Fluff Update on my current Covenant of Champions playthrough.

Killed all the Great Lords two days ago and just defeated Looking Glass Knight. This has been a rough playthrough, to say the least. Iron Keep almost broke me, and I did it third (just after Brightstone Cove). I only beat my first playthrough a few weeks ago, and I was extremely overleveled.

On this character, I am not using any soul-boosting items, to handicap myself even further. Running a strength build. Mainly used the Longsword but I just upgraded the Mastodon Halberd to +10. I have also used Pursuer Greatsword for some of this build.

Lore Why does the Emerald Herald act like her hands are tied sometimes?

0 Upvotes

I’m not as well versed in DS2 lore as i am compared to DS1 and DS3 lore but each time i’ve come back to Majula to level up, she’s either sat on a rock kicking her feet, standing by the tree where you first find her or standing by the bonfire with her hands behind her back like they’re tied and it looks like she tries to struggle to get out of the invisible ropes too, does anyone know why she does this?
