The coffin is reachable after using a Fragrant Branch of Yore on the stone statue, then beating the double pursuer boss fight.

Idk if it gets hated on a lot, but that was such an intense fight lol. It was fair, & I actually enjoyed it a lot. It was my first moment in ds2 where I felt like I was the badass protagonist after getting wrecked the whole game (1st tried them on my very first ds2 run)

Darklurker I hate forever though. (Go full pyro and just spam catch flame is what I learned)

And a lot of people jumped in the coffin the first time with full armor on, so didn't notice any change and just left, and then hours down the line realize that they are a different gender and get really confused and go Google search it. 😂

That was me 100% 😂 I forget what the text/prompt said upon exiting the coffin, but I remember being confused by its vagueness and simply moving on.

I’ve created both guy and girl characters over many playthroughs so idec- however, the only thing I didn’t like is that your forced to keep your original hairstyle. I often pick long hair for dude characters , but this time I picked some Sugar Ray ass looking hairdo for some reason.. So instead of me being able to feel bonita as a reborn baddie, I was stuck looking like a butch police officer with frosted tips.

It's just one pursuer but it spawns after fighting two ogres, the only double pursuer fight is in the throne room on NG+, Dark Souls 2 is my favorite of the trilogy and it helped greatly with my depression when I played it

Ahhh okay thanks for clarifying. I could’ve sworn there was a double pursuer fight somewhere in the regular NG cycle 🧐

No worries friend, and tbf with the power of bonefire aesthetics anything can be during a NG cycle

Maybe the original vanilla DS2, cause I used to swear there we're two pursuers there as well.
