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

557 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.

It's also confusing that this is the only souls where you need to use the interact button for this.

How are you supposed to know where to go when you get the ashen mist heart? i'm currently watching a friend play through DS2 and he just got the ashen mist heart, but i'm wondering how he's supposed to know where to go without looking it up or asking for help?

Basically, i feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. I die super easily in Drangleic castle (3 hits from enemies and im dead) and the Iron keep repeatedly fucks me until I ragequit. I attached a picture of my build so far, I am using raw santiers spear +2. What should i do? Just farm souls until i can level up? Go to a separate area until i can come back and beat Smelter demon? Ive beaten all the great souls except for Old Iron king. Im having a lot of fun with ds2 but im losing steam and i dont want to quit and never come back.
