Timecodes for time travellers-
0:00- Raime, the fume knight

2:10- The known buff trick
2:53- Is the CRACK a buff?
5:03- top secret debuff visual
Bonus data-
Trimmed out a few things. The glow buff refreshes and stacks properly. So you could have it always active, preventing phase 2. Also if you play VERY close to Raime and don't heal, you can fight him without him ever using a vertical smash in phase 1. You don't need to use the wedges, but unless he stays right in the middle of the boss room it's gonna be near impossible to win.

Shoutout to when Bandai Namco's official Dark Souls II website had stats for how and where people were dying and Raime was reported to have a 93% winrate.
I believe it. In the age of Nameless King, Sword Saint and Malenia, it's easy to forget that Raime kicked all of our asses so hard back in the day.
That is interesting. Would be so cool if we had these statistics for Elden Ring
I struggled more with raime than any other boss in 2 and 3
I thought it was a 93% failure rate,
EDIT: oh wait I read that wrong, you were saying Fume won 93% of the time which is the same thing sorry,
The two shitty tigers would have a 99% winrate if anyone could actually fight them.
Clearly, the glowing variant has I-Frame deleting tech so that you always get hit when you "totally rolled that"
So an ADP debuff?
Just walk under it lol
"yeah I never leveled adp, how did you know?"
As someone who played the series in reverse, starting from DS3 (discovering a newfound love) and then DS2 Sotfs, Bb, then ds1 and DS, I had zero clue Adp had more to it than being a status resist skill for a long time. I had already got to NG++ before I found out.
@@richardn461 *oof*
Wearing Veldstat helm is like point down gesture for Raime, no wonder he's so pissed
I never knew about this. That's really really cool
or it's because he's facing someone who bested his foe
“Yo what’s up-“
“How DARE you” **activates phase 2**
Dude pissed off with the knowledge that he didn't get to kill velstadt himself
He's fuming
dark souls 2: scholar of the extremely obscure mechanics
Wanna know what does do something? A miracle build
It makes people laugh?
The Fume Knight laughs at the healing power of a miracle build.
Is it called a miracle build because it takes a miracle for you to do decent with it
Hello mohg lord of blood
But does it really lol
The lack of any meaningful change and unique debuff visuals makes me think things got changed in development. In the concept art the sword is just blank. I always found the darkflame buff to be a weird idea, the other DLC bosses had bigger gimmics. So my theory is that it used to be whack-a-mole minigame that has changed into a bossfight.
Poome knight
Ayo I'm seeing a lack of Elden Ring 👀
What bosses use miracles
More like "whack a boss", hey, Tone?
*ahem* Where is the miracle build, old man?!
This is such an obscure detail that it's a MIRACLE you noticed it. I wonder if there's a BUILD that can take advantage of it.
Subtle
a miracle build?
Thank you old man for answering all the burning questions.
Oldman surely didn't left us to burn
"Does it do anything?"
Yeah, it looks cool.
Endless heals are pretty miraculous
Velstadt’s armor was my look for my entire playthrough, so I had no idea Fume Knight’s phase 1 even existed.
Honestly, I think it was easier this way? His attacks are so much slower.
I had the same idea, i kept dying on phase one till i googled him
I didnt even know about the helm but i done velstag's set anyway because im an idiot and because it looks waayyy cool.
Didnt know it was a rivalry thing till i saw it in vaattii's vid
When trying to beat him on hardest difficulty, I honestly preferred to use the helm. Basically all of his attacks one-shots you anyway and to me his second phase is easier in terms of dodging everything.
Main culprit being his smaller sword moveset during phase 1.
I've done the fight way too many times for my own good on ng+7 and I've always found phase 1 to not be worth skipping over since it's way easier to dodge and gives you that part of his health bar for free so that you spend less time in phase 2.
Also he is way slower in phase 1. Phase 2 is sometimes too fast to safely be able to hit him with a slower weapon without him also hitting you, which is a death sentence on max ng.
@@Femroe There are no difficulty levels in this game
@@juhorasimus Going up in higher NG+ cycles makes the game harder, how else would you discribe that but a higher difficulty level?
Kind of liked how wearing that helmet points out a serious gesture to Raime so much that he just goes into phase 2 to end you as fast as possible. Too bad there weren't any other times From implemented such a mechanic anywhere else. Was really hoping ER would maybe have something like that, ex: Wearing certain gear against certain bosses that would trigger a "hard mode" for them, like wearing Morgot's cloak would send Mohg into immediate Nihil overdrive or vice versa for his brother.
-Wears Mohg's cloak
Morgott: **Pukes aggressively**
I mean i dont think they left on the best terms... Although Morgott does exclude his brother from his speech, it would make some sense they arent the bestedt of friends cus of Morgott's dedication to protecting the Erdtree
So much could have been done between Radahn and Malenia.
Yeah Elden Ring definitely needed another year or two of development time to flesh out and balance/develop everything
@@popeneiad7968 i went back to ds3 after several playthroughs of elden ring and man, DS3's pvp is wildly imbalanced. ER is completely fine compared to the past souls games, especially with quality of life improvements such as being able to level up/allocate flasks in any save point and stakes of marika.
The Fume K***ht joke killed me. Thank you for this everlasting peace.
And now in Elden Ring we have the Carian K***hts
I always thought his glowing sword was just meant to be an indication for the player for when he can switch phase. You know, standard big glowy thing please pay attention
My guess is Nadalia who "haunts his sword" temporarily draw out more power by making contact with the Ash. Right after it makes contact a cloud of black smoke briefly forms like when Fume Knight appears at the start of the fight. So any time his Fume Ultra Greatsword vertical slams into the ground it gets a temporary buff from rubbing against it. Then when he plunges the FUGS straight into the ground, he draws out much more power from the Ash to expel the fire balls in all directions.
What the FUGS
@@victorprati7908 it's the common abbreviation for the Fume Ultra GreatSword.
Doesn’t she haunt the rapier though?
@@revthescatman137 The text on the weapons say she haunts his "sword," singular, only one of them. The straight sword has innate dark damage once reforged so it was seemingly baked into the weapon. The FUGS has fire and dark damage only by virtue of its possession by Nadalia. When the soul leaves it once Raime is defeated, it reverts to just a giant slab of iron in our hands.
@@GuardianOwl ah
Ymfah taught me one thing it did in his Consumables-Only run, so I'm interested to see what else has been found.
It's not just heals, any item use can bait that attack.
He uses standard input reading, which recognizes the key that was used, not the actual action. This is fairly consistent across the series to my knowledge. Gundyr, for example, can have his lunge baited using throwing knives, as his AI mistakes them for an attempted heal.
@@milkmonstrosity that's my current strat on this guy, as I've never beaten him, but it's been months since I last played
@@SgtKOnyx how to beat it easy
Beat sekiro
Parry
Like for no soul runs or sl1 just parrying him to death is great, it is only like 20 parrys in a row
@@milkmonstrosity The first usage I'm aware of is in Demon's Souls where many hostile NPCs will rush you if you try to heal.
Elden Ring bosses: we input your healing!
Fume Knight: these are my boys!
Think you could do a video on how durability/corrosion is technically a status effect in ds2 when applied to enemies? As in:
You can't break the equipment of enemies in ds2 with urns/acid surge but instead you can apply a debuff that stacks and lasts 60 seconds per stack.
-This debuff is manifested by a sound + some crumbling particle effects.
-This debuff multiplies outgoing damage by 0.95 and incoming damage by 1.05 per stack.
-Reapplying the debuff does not update the timer, but adds a separate timer for each reapplied debuff.
-This does imply that each enemy has a proper "corrosion resistance" and after some mining we found out that it's value is shared with their curse resistance.
This is also the reason why most bosses (not all though) are immune to this effect
if you were able to like throw 500 urns per second you could kill most bosses in a couple of punches, and I think that's pretty cool.
He answered your prayer
I died when Fume Knight entered phase 2 and said "It's fuming time" then proceed to fume all over the arena. Truly one of the hardest bosses in Souls history.
Truly one of the bosses
Truly one boss
truly boss

Dark Souls 2, game where miracle builds did their jobs.
FINALLY DS2 COMES ALIVE AGAIN.
IT NEVER DIED
@@elgringosupremo I wish I could say that. I miss multiplayer so much :(
It doesn't help that it happened around the time i was getting really into it for the sixth time.
This DLC is still my all time favorite by quite a long shot, there's just something about the Brume Tower that was just very memorable.
Oh wow, his stance even adjusts a bit when the buff wears off
Strongest Attack in Sekiro. WHERE IS IT, OLD MAN?
It's coming right after the miracle build vid and WildPie101's guide to the Duke's Archives, so any day now.
right down the road

Correct font usage for the various wikis! I will never not despise fuxtralife.
I miss Dark Souls 2 :(
yea we need dark soul II 2
@@unskilled822 You mean Dark Souls II 2 2?
That's some pretty nice attention to detail that it buffs his weapons when the Fume Ultra hits the floor
All the kudos to you for covering the most underappreciated game in the series and to shed some light on this obscure mechanic.
This is why i love ds2. Its commitment to small, insignificant mechanics carried right from ds1, but instead of stuff like vagrants and item migration its in the bossfights, making even few fight that are kinda bland by their own exsiting for me
idk, i hate DS2 and i think it's by far the worst Souls game, imo if they focused more on making the game feel less clunky and annoying instead of adding those small details it would have been much better.
@@samuelriccio5337 it feels like that weird cousin who's really into trains.
@@samuelriccio5337 skill issue
@@samuelriccio5337 they did make the game less clunky, it got rid of four directional rolling, something that should’ve been gotten rid of after Demon’s Souls.
@@zviyeri9117 No it's not. It's so annoying how many DS2 fanboys just go "la la, can't hear you, nothing wrong with the game!"
It's fine to like it, and yeah, plenty of people are too hard on it and all. But it has massive flaws that don't just come down to muh "skill issue".
Old Man always out here with the most obscure and useless information possible. I love it.
I never noticed the boss arena was a massive Old Knight, that's cool.
I actually wear velstadts headpiece whenever I fight raime because his second phase is easier
it's not easier, it's the change of pace that makes it difficult. Doing the no second phase tactic make it way easier
@@Sercroc nah, that side sword he has is pretty much his way of roll-catching, probably my favorite straight sword in the game but annoying to deal with during the fight, I’d rather just deal with his more telegraphed two handed swings.
@@Sercroc its almost like difficulty is pretty subjective ey?^^
@@datzfatz2368 yeah, people do find gael hard after all
You can bait his slam attack via any consumable item, it doesn't have to be Sunny D.
“If you wanna lose” bruh i get Velstadts helm every time I fight him, one phase is less moves the memorize and it’s so much easier
Now I can go troll my friend who's new to DS2 by telling him Velstadt's helmet makes some bosses easier
There is at least 2 people in this comment section who claim to do exactly that for Raime. Because they find the small sword's moveset to be more difficult and they cut in-half the volume of the moveset they have to prepare for.
I honestly look forward to your videos so much, incredible hard work put in every time just fantastic. Thank you for researching the forbidden knowledge we didn’t know we craved.
His sword glows after breaching the ashen bedrock...
I literally never noticed that woah. Guess I'll try it out on my current run. Thanks for the info!
im genuinely addicted to these videos. good work
Another electrifying video, Old Man, almost as electrifying as a Miracle Build could be! If only we had a video on the subject...
There are a lot of theories on why raime instantly goes to phase 2 while wearing velstadt's helm like
Since velstadt beat raime's ass and exiled him, he was enraged upon seeing velstadt's gear because of their grudge
But i like to believe he went phase 2 because he recognises the player as a strong opponent and goes all out since the player bested velstadt who was presumably stronger than raime.
Ps it would have been really cool if you could summon velstadt and raime phantoms for the nashandra fight, with kings blessings as a requirement since it would be like the left and right hand warriors of the king following the new monarch for one last battle
I really love you resurrecting these old school final fantasy songs my man. Keep up the quality content.
If his bossfight is inside of a dead giant
Is that his kill, that he decided to turn into his own turf?
If so...
He's an even bigger parasite than Grandson
(Well more like a disease or something, but still)
Dont fume kids
Nah
That one particular slower attack of the Fume Knight...such precious memories xD
Best Souls 2
I actually did where Veldstat's helm during my first run of DS2, not for the extra challenge, but because I found his second phase to be easier to play against with my build and I found it easier to only deal with one moveset and not two.
thank you, mr genius
wow i had no idea about any of this stuff. well done.
I can't believe you've been uploading this entire time and TH-cam just refused to tell me
Truly exceptional content
Dark Souls 2 is still my favorite of the Souls trilogy.
I've fought him several times and I never noticed he had an extra buff beyond the second phase, thanks man !
Ok, it is surprisingly useful for me because i started to notice inconsistent damage ranges in phase 2.
Fume Knight on launch had people on their fucking knees
Back in the day, I preferred to start off with Velstadt's helm because I found his phase 2 easier to deal with than phase 1.
Only really need two smelter wedges to use on the same side of the arena. Then just keep him on that side.
yo that last fact was fricken awesome! Fighting the hardest boss inside a fricken giant impaled by a massive piller. hella metal
Its always a good day when Limit Breakers uploads
Can you hold my hand, mr break?
Don't use a wedge on the very first idol right next to the first bonfire, until everything else is done.
All these years and I didn't even knew this was a thing.
I never even noticed his sword cracks after those attacks, I was always too focused on the fight itself.
He so strong because he has the power of love... and whatever power living in abyss infused ash for ages does to a person
The Comic Sans for Fextralife had me giggling.
Let’s go, best boss in the series.
Plottwist: Limit mainly made this video so he has an excuse to make these puns at the end.
Totally worth it, I'd say.
Well-well, isn't that my favourite souls-youtuber released a new vid
I beat fume knight just earlier today. I now remember why he had that dreaded 93% win rate.
There is just something so beautifully perfect about his design. He’s not doing some crazy waterfowl 59 hit combo. He’s just a dude, with a big sword, who has like mostly three hit combos that are relatively easy to dodge.
But he hits that sweet spot of being juuuust easy enough to read that you get overconfident, and his combos leave you with only juuuust enough stamina to get one attack in, but it feels like you could get two. Greed kills in this fight more than just about every other.
exactly, phase 1 was a breeze so when he got to phase 2 he destroyed me and in subsequent tries my focus was on timing and placing my dodges well enough so i could hit and run with enough time to my stamina to refill. It was basically a sekiro boss to me
I love this boss. I struggled at first but ironically managed to win once I wore the Velstadt helm and forced his second phase.
I have never even noticed the glow
I had more problems against the other boss. I do not remember the name, but it was the knight clad in an oriental armour that wielded a two-handed long-handled katana.
I never got him to commit seppuku.
Alonne. good boss, though the walk back is terrible.
Definitely found Alonne far harder than Fume Knight. Fume Knight's only real issue I ever had is his hitboxes being far larger than his actual weapons, move-wise he's extremely easy though
Raime is quickly becoming one of my favorite bosses in the series. I love his aesthetic and he's fun to fight.
It's funny, back in the mid 2010s I couldn't beat him without cheesing with hexes. Now I can beat him with melee easily. I realized three things: use a quick weapon, put points into adaptability, and don't get greedy.
I'll always love how grandpa says "STYLE"
Fume Knight was one of few bosses I have vivid memory of making me rage. I've never been one to seethe during soulsborne bosses but I can remember wanting to pull my hair out the first time I fought him
A step closer to the miracle build
"REEEEEEEE Sword" is a lot funnier than it should be.
I'm really dumb. I read "There's only 11 in total" as There's only II in total, and I was sure I remembered there being more than 2.
I never saw the sparks come off the sword but I always thought it was just a glitch in the fumes coming off his sword hiting some loop end or something.
I hate that I recognized the ymfah video despite you changing the title. Seen his ds2 runs too many times to not notice the font.
With the new frontiers of environment and map modding in Elden Ring, I would love to see some DS2 areas recreated in the ER engine
*insert comment about miracle builds*
Finished ds2 recently and I've been wondering that.. ty
idk if Limit will eventually do this but i was always thinking if you would do "whats the maximum icon possible" like you did on dark souls 2
Imo the straight sword of his is the most difficult part of his kit
Love the fugs sword
The Vel helm thing is something I never knew
it is a miracle that someone noticed those
where is the miracle build
With all the ff7 music it makes me wonder what a limit breaker ff7 video would be like 🤔💕
3:44 It seems to be a flat +78 fire damage, +64 with ring
4:34 The increase seems to be the same, with a +153 damage, close to the +156 damage you'd expect from two hits
Very cool limit breakers. Takes me back to 2017, I reached fk at like 3 am and instantly gave up when it kicked my ass. Spent like two hours the next day taking him down
I wonder if the crack stops his transition because it's supposed to be an extra buff only in phase 2 or if it's supposed to be like this and a neat trick you can abuse
Whoa! Seeing Raime again on my feed brings back awesome but horrible moments playing DkS2 BEFORE Scholar Edition!
That game was wild and I don't miss most of it, however Raime was my favorite boss to help players with alongside Ivory King
😁😁
Weird little shit like the helmet triggering phase 2 instantly is one of the reasons why Dark Souls II will always hold a special place in my heart.
Lets fucking go! dark souls 2!!
I wore Velstadt's Helm on my first playthrough, I had no idea the boss even had a phase one!
funny i actually fought him again a few days ago on my oooold 360 save a few days back, i too noticed the sword would glow red sometimes, which i never noticed on my Scholar playthroughs. Still nice to see Dank Souls 2 get some love.
I remember I couldn't beat him for days, DkS2 SotFS was my very first Soulsborne game, and back in 2015 I couldn't even get past his first phase. Then I read that wearing Velstadt's helm would trigger phase 2 instantly, and I put it on. That day I learned that I was able to finally beat him after just a few tries. Turns out, his phase 2 was much easier to me.
huh that's funny because for me it was the opposite, phase 1 was a breeze to me, even expected to be a chill boss in my first try, as soon he gets to phase 2 he completely destroyed me. To the point i was trying to stack buffs to try to win bwfore he entered phase 2 somehow.... wish i knew about the phase lock strat early
All this time I assumed his second phase did dark damage because of the connection with Nadalia, not fire damage.
Would have appreciated knowing some of that like a decade ago lol
can you do a video about hitboxes in grab attacks in all the games?
0:26 Limit what is this audio effect? I hear it everywhere and it kills me.
Wait so does the Fume knight buff happen when the player uses a vertical slam? And if so does it apply to DS2 and DS3?
now i know why i beat Fume knight and he never turned phase 2 ... i thaught was was a bug but i guess its the red Blade thingy
