Dark Souls 2 Dissected #5 - The Majula Mansion Chest

Here's the latest episode of Dark Souls II Dissected, which is all about the chest found in the basement of the Majula Mansion (sometimes aka the "Treasure Box"). There was an online feature that allowed it to be stocked with new items, though sadly this was never used for Scholar of the First Sin and several weapon reskins were never made available for it.

Thank you so much to everyone who's been signing!

[IronPineapple]

big agree on the exclusive preorder stuff being lame

[VaatiVidya]

If nothing else, it'd be fun to get these unique weapons right at the start of new playthroughs. I'd consider doing another run through of the game if they did this, for sure!

[Seven-Seas-of-Baba-O-Riley]

I couldn't help but notice that there is a total of 12 things that were put in the chest. If they wanted to make it permanently obtainable, they could cycle the contents of the chest every month.

[SilentTree]

I used to rock the moonlight longsword on the offhand with the standard moonlight. The leadup to the DLCs were a wonderful period, makes me want to relive the launch of DS2 all over again.

[pauloariente]

That was the most honest and clear attempt at speaking Portuguese that I've ever heard from a non-speaker. Congratulations, you have my deep respect!

[KoyFoster]

This video was very nostalgic for me. Thank you. DS2 and these chest events were really something special back then.

[codyvangogh]

I hope they agree to modify the chest when the servers go back up; it might be the last chance they get to troll us with a Mimic!

[GameDevYal]

Considering the status of the servers right now, "timed events you may no longer experience" seems to include the multiplayer component... :V

[carythacker]

DS2 dissected? You know it's gonna be a good one

[TrashbashMan]

I can't even begin to explain how much emotion Majula's theme evokes in me. What a banger

[isaacluigi]

There's something about the 8-bit Majula theme that hits so hard... Missed hearing it!

[MEEPdragon]

Zullie did a video on elden ring talking about recolored models and that with a bit of tweaking, you could potentially implement a dye system in the game. Pretty cool to see that this goes even further back in development

[phir]

Interesting fact: whitesteel katanas are used by Alonne knights in the memory of Alonne but they drop normal blacksteel katanas like any other alonne knights.

[europa.]

I had completely forgotten this was a thing. Memory unlocked! Thanks for the nostalgia trip and excellent content <3

[zviyeri]

I recently finished DS2 and rewatching your dissected videos gives me an entirely new perspective. What a beast of a game. Despite what a lot of people may say, I loved it

[envoyofrot]

7:15 I personally hate this kind of FOMO-inducing practices. Never being able to unlock an item in Game you paid full-price for sucks and it as pretty lame attempt to get people to pre-order.

[antont]

Majula chest is such an obscure and cool mechanic. Nobody remembers it anymore, but for me it was really nice to see themed Items - I don't think you can get them anymore, unfortunately

[obsessivelyobsessed]

I didn't start liking and playing the souls games until 2020, and I very quickly discovered that I had the most criticisms for DS2, but I also found that the more I played it, the more I loved it, despite how bad I think it is. It is my favourite fromsoft game, full stop, and I would LOVE to have some fun content as a "welcome home" gift for when the servers come back online

[jbisthedj]

I fricking loved the idea of there being event specific weapons that weren't anything spectacular. Using the cool looking weapons was such a good incentive to make a new character
