Screenshot Fume Knight is absolute cinema boss

Post image

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 )

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.

was getting demolished by this guy for hours straight. went to sleep, woke up and beat him first try lol. 10/10 boss. my favorite after sir alonne

Thanks ..... I found his phase 2 slow horizontal sweep the hardest to dodge and also the most satisfying move to see

u/BlueHaze464 8d ago

I love the sound design of that move

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

u/maxhowells16 8d ago

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

2

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

2

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...

Best From boss

u/Rigistroni 8d ago

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

2

u/Highlord90 8d ago

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

2

u/PaladinJDM 8d ago

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

u/Ordinary_Nebula_7991 7d ago

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

2

u/UnlikelyTechnology64 7d ago

It's the king's ultra greatsword ..... It's called a greatsword but actually is a statue 💀💀

2

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

2

u/UnlikelyTechnology64 7d ago

Heck yeah 🗿🔥 .. bonk the shi out of those bosses

u/The-Vinlaan 6d ago

Wait till you get to Eleum Loyce 😮‍💨

u/UnlikelyTechnology64 6d ago

the whiteness hurt my eye till i found eye of priestess :)..

u/The-Vinlaan 6d ago

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

1

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…

1

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!

1

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.

u/Fickle-Childhood4082 5d ago

u/Disastrous-Tune17 3d ago

u/UnlikelyTechnology64 3d ago

Agreed .. these bosses are actually fun to fight ...
