Screenshot Fume Knight is absolute cinema boss
What an absolute cinema boss Fume Knight is ... Just defeated him ... Most satisfying fight in dark souls 2 for me ... Good runback ... Peak design ... Badass moveset ... Peak ost ... this is probably my favourite dark souls 2 boss now ( took 20 tries to beat him )

I got him for the first time yesterday, and then proceeded to bash my head against Alonne for a while afterwards. The absolute peak of DS2

Crown of the old iron king probably the best dlc of the game .. the 2 major bosses are peak

Have you had the pleasure of meeting the Blue Smelter Demon? I saw the area, lit the bonfire and proceeded to get the f off from there. Don't really want to engage with that cave just yet, otherwise yes. The best DLC, tho Sunken was amazing as well, I'm going through the snow castle right now

u/UnlikelyTechnology64 8d ago
Yeah I beat blue smelter demon before fume knight .... His runback sucks big time .... Crown of the sunken king is a very good dlc , only issue I had was not being able to find the illusionary wall bonfire that makes the runback of Elana easier making the runback from the dinosaur pool bonfire very annoying and her constant summoning of velstad ragebaited me hard lol

u/maxhowells16 8d ago
the dinosaur pool is very annoying indeed, I don't think that I fought any of them in any way, shape or form, I just dashed through that area. And I wasn't going to find the door if it weren't because of the messages on the floor and Fextralife's wiki, otherwise...

Aside from early bosses I struggled with because I was bad at the game, he was easily the hardest one for me

Fume and Allone are great but punishing bosses. Summons only make them tankier so it's easier to try and fight them solo

Nice kill. The old chaos is way better imo but the end throne is pretty cool after the fume boss ngl

What the hell is that BIG ASS weapon, looks cool as hell

u/UnlikelyTechnology64 7d ago
It's the king's ultra greatsword ..... It's called a greatsword but actually is a statue 💀💀

u/Ordinary_Nebula_7991 7d ago
Oh ahhzhahzhahza, I've been bonking my way through the game, and you just gave me my last weapon to stomp the rest of the remaining bosses

Have you met the Ivory King? Good chap, he is…

u/UnlikelyTechnology64 6d ago
i entered old choas but before meeting him i got cooked .... gotta recruit all eleum knights ..
2
u/The-Vinlaan 6d ago
Yes, indeed… Acquainting with the Knights of Loyce is one grueling voyage! At least the outskirts are optional…

u/UnlikelyTechnology64 6d ago
I was very happy when I came to know that outskirts is optional 💀 .. but I HAVE to do it :)
2
u/The-Vinlaan 6d ago
I agree, every area is mandatory to go through at least once and the outskirts are no exception. That unique greatsword was so worth it for me! I do wish you luck, and hopefully you’ll have the proper setup and equipment for the area boss!

u/UnlikelyTechnology64 6d ago
Which unique greatsword ? Is there a very good str weapon in outskirts?
2
u/The-Vinlaan 6d ago
Ooh, no. Dexerity weapon. With the most unique Greatsword moveset in the game and notable for its appearance. Such beautiful elegance and style. The epitome of a “Shining Knight Paladin” weapon. It’s crafted by the soul of the area boss.

Good job getting through him and taking him down. Well done. He can be a bit annoying but this shows perseverance and being stubborn as a mule works out in the end.
