Binoculars |

|
Binoculars are a special tool item in Dark Souls 2.
Usage
- Equip them in a weapon slot, and use the the light attack button to look through them.
- It is still possible to look and move around (albeit much slower) while using them.
- The most practical use is for enabling first-person aiming for lining up projectiles.
- Particularly useful for sorceries and hexes whos range extends beyond that of your lock-on. Simply look through the Binoculars and line up your desired target exactly in the middle of the screen, then cast your projectile, and it should travel exactly on target.
- It's possible to get extra damage out of your projectiles this way, by aiming at the target's head to deal bonus headshot damage (only works on certain humanoid enemies with little to no head armor). This is applicable with any projectile, like spells, arrows, and throwables.

Location
- Majula, on a ledge just off to the side of the pathway to the Forest of Fallen Giants.
- The optimal way to reach these is to head towards Things Betwixt from Majula or vice versa and look towards the cliff for a drop off area. There you will find a cleric sacred chime and a morning star on a body behind you. Following the path will lead towards a dead body with the binoculars on them.

I noticed a weird glitch with these today; sometimes when zooming in, rather than staying zoomed in, the camera will constantly zoom in and out while your character model rapidly flails around. I don't know what the exact circumstances to cause it were, but it only started happening after I clicked the share button on my PS4 controller.

The only souls game with realistic binocular physics
(seriously, why does it take a whole year to use them in the other two games?)

There seems to be some kind of sprinting speed exploit with using binoculars in the non-SotFS version. Theres a speedrun on youtube where the player runs extremely fast barely using any stamina after using the binoculars to zoom in quickly.

might want to recheck i got the drop and there was no binoculars. they might of changed it in a patch
i believe that there's a glitch when you have one binoculars in each hand and spam the use buttons in each of them that makes your character model glitch around uncontrolably, i think that i saw some guy do it once on xbox 360, but it was very long ago, and i've never had the oportunity to test it with a friend on sotfs ( you can't see the glitch for yourself on your screen since you'll be locked into a fixed first person perspective)
