How do I kill this fella, buddies?
Summon someone and have them do it.
>>339053519
1. deactivate the statues
2. gg fume knight
Why would you play the shitty spin-off, that's the real question.
Circle his left. Also his great sword attacks usually have one more combo than you expect. I've seen him swing 5 times.
git
>>339053519
Roll and poke his butt.
Second phase is actually piss ez because he has an attack that literally screams HIT ME NOW (that omnidirectional wave with a huge gap in one of his sides)
I don't know, I keep falling asleep after the first 20 minutes whenever I try to fight him.
>>339053606
Better than the casual shit that is Dark Souls 3.
>>339053647
gud.
>>339053519
But seriously go naked with stamna ring and learn to fucking dodge
>>339053606
C´mon buddy, this game is great. It's like a hip Ghost n Goblins.
>>339053903
>>339053519
Legitimately the most difficult boss in all of Dark souls for me.
It's the boss that taught me how to roll and read. Trust me OP, your only hope is removing all armor and only affording 1 or 2 hits. Learn his attack pattern masterfully. Stick to the side with his ultra great sword, it takes longer for him to swing it so its easier to see coming.
>>339053519
Hit him until he dies.
>>339053519
Roll/strafe/attack left.
Or go pew pew with spells.
>>339054040
It's true though. Dark Souls 3 has Zelda tier bosses.
>>339053519
Dark Souls 3 was really easy after dying 200 times to the Fume Knight and Burnt Ivory King
>>339054137
>>339053903
>>339053929
Lords of the fallen is a better DaS than DaS 2 tbqh famalamamam.
>>339053606
A middle chapter in a trilogy isn't a spin-off
>>339054268
Fuck off you dirty Polack
>>339053903
fume knight is easier than literally every boss in DS3
>>339054419
No?
>>339054268
>Lords of the fallen is a better DaS than DaS 2
How to spot the anon who hasn't actually played LOTF.
>>339054530
Oh but I have played it my friend... a whole half an hour. It was shit, but still better than DaS II.
>start up ds2
>attacks don't have perfect tracking
>enemies don't return to default positions when you get summoned/quit game
>can't r1 to victory
>way more variety than dark sword 3
>>339054419
Curse-Rotted Greatwood
Crystal Sage
Yhorm the Giant
Ancient Wyvern
High Lord Wolnir
Deacons of the Deep
These are all Zelda bosses
>>339054624
>thinks he's entitled to an opinion when he hasn't even finished the game
Nope
>>339054830
Why would I even try to finish that?
The very first boss was a joke.
Are you saying you actually finished Lotf? That's impressive.
>>339053519
>armor is a blatant artorias ripoff
>dude what if he had a HUGE SWORD
>LIKE, THE HUGEST
>ps2 era character model
The DaS2fag standard of quality is nothing short of disgusting.
>inb4 "HE DOESN'T LIKE DAS2 HIS OPINIONS ARE INVALID! INVALID! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>339055465
You forgot a few key points
>is fun to fight
>is challenging to fight
>>339055645
You mean twin princes right?
>>339056026
>twin princes
>is challenging to fight
What?
>>339055645
>slow as fuck ponderous swings that chew up your stamina
>Generic half-way weapon buff
>overhead tracking out the ass just like every other DaS2 enemy
>sometimes this combo has AN EXTRA ATTACK you'll never see coming!
Yeah he's so interesting and unique
The Dark Souls 2 defense force, everyone.
>>339056309
Oneshotting twin princes was challenging and doable. Plus the battle was fun overall.
>that music
>that dodgeable but still tricky moveset
>those cutscenes
>that VA
Pretty gud.
>>339056596
>tricky moveset
*teleports behind you* the boss
>>339056754
So?

>fume knight
>not the fucking blue smelter demon shit
fuck that guy seriously, probably the bost I needed most tries. mind that I am a shitter who tried his first rolling AND magic build at the same time in DS2 scholar, but seriously fuck that fat fuck
>"lol I'm blue and my attacks have big range"
>"and deal much damage too"
>"now watch me SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI"
>>339055465
yeah just how fire witches are a blatant artorias ripoff too
>>339056904
Smelter isn't a shitty boss because he has a challenging moveset or gimmick. He's shit because the designers decided to make him "SUPER HARD" instead of "Challenging but fun"
It's just another example of the fundamental lack comprehension on B-team's part. They just did not understand how to make a Souls game beyond "LOL YOU'LL DIE SO MANY TIMES RIGHT? WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE PREPARE TO DIE(tm) RIGHT?"
Fume Knight is a dogshit boss that gets easier after the first 25%.
>>339057229
>WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE PREPARE TO DIE(tm) RIGHT
which started with das1 and carried on to das3
>>339057116
Nope. Those are Paladin Leeroy ripoffs. Just like the Hollow Soldiers from Cardinal Tower in DaS2.
The difference is that, while fire witches take a noticeable inspiration from earlier designs, DaS2 just rips them off wholesale without apology or even a basic understanding of what made that design memorable. Fume knight is memorable because a bunch of plebs died to him a bunch of times. Not because he's interesting of unique.
His design is derivative, hackneyed bullshit by a bunch of hacks trying to ape the success of a previous game despite fundamentally failing to understand the aspects of the previous game's appeal.
I can say this all day, and you can bitch about it all day, but in the end it's a simple, objective truth that DaS2 has far more flaws and shortcomings than any other game in the Souls franchise. If you feel like you can refute this then you're welcome to try.
>>339053519
Step 1: Use your wedges on the healing things
Step 2: memorize his move set
Step 3: two hand Pursuers Ultra Great Sword
Step 4: smash and dodge
Step 5: win
>>339057323
No. DaS was challenging in it's own way.
People forced the meme "LOL I DIED A MILLION TIMES" in DaS and in DaS II the devs thought they should continue this trend, but instead of making the game challenging they force deaths on you.
>>339058025
>pretending that the subtitle of Dark Souls 1 isn't literally "Prepare to Die".
Embarrassing.
>>339058268
that was for the PC release, the original game and box just said "Dark Souls"
>>339058423
>It's okay when Miyazaki does it.
>>339054624
Bias is bad and you should feel bad
>>339058506
>I'm a retard: the post
Nigger, Miyazaki has nothing to do with it.
"Prepare to Die" was an advertising tagline that Bamco came up with for the PC port. The subtitle on the box didn't exist until a fucking YEAR after the game's initial release. Crawl out of your DaS2 dicksucking hugbox for a second and think about the shit coming out of your mouth.
>>339053519
fite him in the middlw if the room cause he heals on the sides
go 2 handed no shield and roll like a motherfucker
if you summon in souls games you might as well watch a lets play
>>339059587
>"Prepare to Die" was an advertising tagline that Bamco came up with for the PC port.
Not him, but prepare to die over and over again was in the both trailers before even console release
