This is my favorite dark souls game, I know it’s an unpopular statement but it’s true, it was the only game available to me for a long time and I learned to love it
It's my favorite because of power stance combos, Turtle Armor+Manikin Mask and Bone Fist jump kicks. Sad the other Souls games don't have Bruce Lee movesets

If you have ranged options like sorceries/miracles (works with melee too just more annoying ig) you can just keep baiting him to do the frontal flame attack (which usually misses you by a mile). Stack on all your flame res stuff and it can't oneshot you either
You don't have to kill him to get the form. There's a spot near the greatsword Drakekeeper where you drop off, then move on through the area until you find the petrified egg in a room after an invasion. Take the egg to Magerold in Iron Keep and he lets you join the covenant. Then you just need dragon scales to rank up and you get the stones to transform
You know you have played a game many times when you know just where to stand and wait. 10:37 I like the bow from the knights, thanking you for saving their Lord. Nice touch. DS2 had a lot of quiet moments like this in it.

Man Ray, i hadn't seen your channel for the longest. That PFP you have of Mai , always thought for the longest time you were her. 😆. Back when dark souls no one played it much. Now everyone and their grandma is playing it. You and another dude i forgot his name .. something pig or ham , he help made the official walkthrough for first dark souls or second one. You both were my go to guys for dark souls. I was going thru some substance use disorder, so you both were my escape and dark souls. I'm in recovery now for 6 years . Can't sleep right now. But thought of you. 😆 But yea. Hope you being doing good brother. Take care hope to meet you one day online
I liked the part where you one shot the boss. Oh well, back to my current run where I am hard stuck on smelter demon with my +6 fire longsword, fat rolling with targay armor and a drangeleic shield with no hope at all of succeeding.
This is why I love Dark Souls 2 because not only is it an awesome game where you can be easily overpowered within like it say 10 minutes of the game but I think it has the best design for the dragon Clan theme and I felt that this is a design they should have kept for Dark Souls 3 in my opinion instead of the new one that they did or it's just like a naked Dragon like humanoid body because I think it would have been a lot more cooler like oh look you're a character is the only one that has that chance to actually become a dragon in the way you're supposed to like a warrior in a sense like you doing this game compared to the ones that failed I don't know maybe that was just me and my thoughts but I do love this look I think it's something that should have stayed like within the third game when they came to being a part of the Dragon Clan
I'll be honest, I don't know what people find so difficult about blue smelter demon. Yeah he mixes up the combos a bunch, but it isn't that tough if you're in the endgame, not like fume knight or Sinh, both just as capable of mixing it up if they want to.
He takes halved damage from any 'weapon' attack. And he is not actually weak to fire - only to lightning. His magic/fire/any physical resistances are all neutral.
Ray…you are the one who convinced me to buy bloodborne in 2016 when you used a character called “Bloody Mary” to one shot all the bosses. Bloodborne was so outside my genre at the time but now after 6 years of dark souls, Sekiro, Elden Ring, and Bloodborne, I’m finally coming back and subscribing. Thank you ray, you gave me and my friends some of our happiest moments together.
what sl? , what stats requirements?, i need this info for my DK build please, I'm dual standing the dragon greataxes ,and i got both smelter UGS but i don't know how much do i need to level it up
My favourite. Started with both 1 and 2. 1 fell short of expectations, in fact it was disappointing. DS2 good back then, and still is good now. It's just a shame that it got dogpiled by the DS1 bandwagoners. And yeah, love cosplaying as the black dragon knight, though I'd go for vanilla BDK with their weapons just upgraded with raw.
@@simonmcewan1854 Though funny enough even with lightning resistance the rain buffs lightning so they almost cancel each other out and lightning does decent damage.
not me spending 10 minutes chipping away at Ancient Dragon when I could've tried this
Oh shit
I always just used spells and bows, works like a charm just have to play the distance and patience game
Well, look at that, it's Zanny! When are you going to finish ds2?
When are you going to beat Laurence?
Bruh I gave that thing the pedicure of its life
3:16 lol, i was NOT expecting that interaction.
5:03 Ray has become so strong now, he re-invented ragdoll physics in Dark Souls II
This is my favorite dark souls game, I know it’s an unpopular statement but it’s true, it was the only game available to me for a long time and I learned to love it

Same here. Love it
its ok to like trash games
@@candanaci9258 of course it is I mean it's also fine to make trash comments like you do
Out of all Dragon Forms, this is the best!
Drippy as fuck
Much better than the first one and certainly the third, that one look like a chicken
Elana: You were not deserving of the mire…
Dhimitri: POW, POW, POW, Shut up !
7:40 At this moment you can feel Cerah's despair.

"Hey hey hey hey hey HEY HEY HEY HEEEEE-"
Just tried the blue and red smelter sword and it's awesome. The flame effects mix and make a purple flame!
Besides color what's the difference between the two

0:21 "DS2 has bad hitboxes"
aw man... just the noise the armor makes, gives me goosebumps
The sound effect makes it so much better
DS2 is my Favorite Game in the Series but the one thing I regret is never being able to obtain that form or armor but I did manage to beat the game n complete the dlc & kill every boss except for the Ancient Dragon
Ancient dragon is easy if you stay between his toes, managed to beat him before vendrick and yet to start DLC. You can do it
If you have ranged options like sorceries/miracles (works with melee too just more annoying ig) you can just keep baiting him to do the frontal flame attack (which usually misses you by a mile). Stack on all your flame res stuff and it can't oneshot you either

This is one of the most satisfying videos of ds2 I’ve ever seen thank you
I'm just glad there are 3 loyce knights who witnessed their king being freed
For the people that complain abaout ADP, here you can see someone dodging every attack by walikng and running without a shield
Well he also 1 shots every boss
Idiotic take honestly.
Elden ring kids can't get it
ye me😂
Your strength is sinful...well done.
Also I'm of the mindset that the bosses are just playthings now, toys to be broken, crushed, and dashed away...
That flame animation of dual smelter is one of the best in entire souls series.
Flame in general looks so aggressive in this game
@@Technique2937it's only as if...yeah
You keep making this game look at his best 👌
You know you have played a game many times when you know just where to stand and wait.
10:37 I like the bow from the knights, thanking you for saving their Lord. Nice touch. DS2 had a lot of quiet moments like this in it.
that's actually an animation they do to teleport out, just like the player when he uses a bonfire or homeward bone
@@dvlmn6316 Aw, you took all the romance away. (I know that) 😄
@@dvlmn6316 Like most things in the Souls series, it's open to interpretation. Who's to say they're not actually bowing?
@@matheuscruz8574 I mean, if we're free to interpret, it could be a bow right before their souls die and move on. But again, it's just interpretation.
@@matheuscruz8574 Lore is open to interpretation. Now the animation they make is the same as that of using a homeward bone, that is not up to interpretation.
I'm so happy they brought DS2's best mechanic into Elden Ring, power stancing
well i wish it was true ds2 style to let me un stance the power stance so i can do regular 1 hits with the L1 XD
Still think they could have brought back also the Bonfire Ascetics. That thing is one of the best mechanics in any game.
@@Ivory5547 the only reason I can't decide whether ER or ds2 is my favourite. Er has a bunch of little quality of life features like stakes of Marika, but bonfire ascestics are by far the best mechanic in any fromsoft game
Power stance is the greatest untold feature of any video game.
Never been this early but nice, always at it one shotting ds2 bosses like a bad habit
The best looking dragon form. Why we got the emaciated goat instead of this again still confuses me.
is this a Ray Dhimitri classic on the best souls game of all time? I think it is
Well, you're half right
5:05 bruh, i am done
Ahhh yes the Elden Ring prequel 😎 👌🏻
3:17 killed me
Can’t believe I only found you channel now, I’m excited for the next time you upload!

I remember back in the days when this set was used by ALL melee builds
Dragon form with 2 massive swords more like 😂
The transformation to dragon in ds2 was Just another level, the most handsome i think
We need something like this in Elden Ring. They really needa make a dragon armor equivalent to this one from DS2.
I've never seen an Ivory King fight where the white knights survive, that's pretty nice actually
I honestly thought that after the roar, he was just gonna have the dragon rider commit suicide
How you are casually walking around is amazing. I would be panicking righty from the first second.
0:24 gets me good every time
then i see this guy just fast walking pass that DX
this must be what the fume knight feels like when he fights the player
05:09 the best part
Thanks for showing me and others where the enclave armor is
I liked the part where you one shot the boss. Oh well, back to my current run where I am hard stuck on smelter demon with my +6 fire longsword, fat rolling with targay armor and a drangeleic shield with no hope at all of succeeding.
Well there's your problem right there, fire longsword vs smelter demon.
You can feel the power by the way the audio goes all bass boosted
the sound effect of this weapon art is so extremely loud. But that is so cool. Is there any weapon in elden ring that makes this much noise?
I love dark souls2 ❤️
Time for the second coming of the dragons.

Nobody finds him difficult it's the runback that everybody universally hates
He is easy,i just hate running to him everytime lol
Worst thing they could've ever done to Dark Souls 2 is making the Red Tear stone Ring not affect spells and consumables.
Tbh red tear stone ring is not needed when climax exists
Damn that sucks
The Best souls
Love this so much
It's really weird that dark lurker takes 3-4 hits to kill. The boss is known for being weak to fire. What happened? 🤔
He takes halved damage from any 'weapon' attack.
And he is not actually weak to fire - only to lightning.
His magic/fire/any physical resistances are all neutral.
Love u for still play the OG game man keep it up
Demon souls is the OG
ds2 has the best dragon form of the trilogy
That build is insane and perfekt 😍
2:56 If Smelter Demon is killed so quickly, does the room stays lit forever?
Man. I have to see twice. Great job. 👍
Amazing video as always, my favorite dark souls fr, How many giant souls did you have when you fought vendrick?
probably 4 as he fights the ancient dragon later
Eat your heart out dragon born
if no one ever told you, the strongest one shot 2 hit true combo, is Right hand Drakekeeper axe R1, into powerstanced drakekeeper smelter sword L2
It's more like Dual Wielding Smelters Demon Swords x All bosses. Huehue. Btw, the trick with yearn was very cool.
I love how the darklurker ragdolls, lol. Seems like the dark couldn't take the fire!
yooooo im so happy to still see u uploading dark souls 2 videos man i love it a lot.
Ds3 really gave us that sad dragons path over this 💀 I wanted to experience something greater with as much research as I did on the dragon path
Old Dragonslayer oneshotted by 13 damage

awesome job
All bosses : oh ! Ist a dragon ! . Dragon : BUM one shoot
cringe
The sound its so fucking loud I love it
That smelter kill was so satisfying
This game needs a mod where the boss corpses do not disappear and stay
I have two questions... how do I spit fire? does that also work if I only have the dragon head?
Thnx for another vid of ds2 ❤️❤️
Didn't know it was that op
Awesome! Do u have a video of that build? I'm pretty new in ds2.

This the fucking main boss.

I seen the thumbnail and thought it was Skyrim.
I was like what mod is this?!
how to break your ear drums 101:
1. put on this video
2. put on some headphones
3. crank the volume to max on both the video and headphones
OH MY GOD, I should definitly try out dragon form in my next playtrough.
just a normal day for ray bullying ds2 bosses
I have played this game many times DLC included, but I never knew you could cut off Sinh's tail. Also, great video, very entertaining
you can also cut the tail of that snake woman, one of the arms of the rotten one and there must be someone else but I don't remember
You can but you don’t get any special item or weapon
Ur the best ds2 master in the world... 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ah yes, the times when you had to do a dedicated build with all the buffs of the game to do massive damage
You still do.
Not even in Elden Ring
U still need to buff the shit out of u

@@XGen_V yeah massive magic and lightning resist
