Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin Message Board  

For anyone who is wanting to use the trainer, but doesn't want to run the risk of being banned, though the odds of this are low, there is a pretty simple fix since an offline option seems to have been overlooked.

I figured it'd be a bit much to type out when someone else has explained it already.

The issue came up in a stack exchange post:
gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/165883/how-do-i-disable-multiplayer-in-game/165915#165915

I hope this helps.
