11:55 - Fun fact, you can actually get the Forgotten Key after beating just one Giant! If you quit and reload the game after beating just one of em, you'll get the key when you reappear! Really helpful if you're underpowered and having trouble taking out both.
@@magusesper616 in my experience, the Woodland Child invader (one and two) doesn't show up until you get close to the second bonfire, like, past the second cave-bug. Unless you mean Forlorn? Huh, I guess Forlorn IS always there the first time you walk in, I didn't keep track that close. I've never seen 4 giants happen! :O
Yeah I usually hit that second bonfire then go down to the giants. Mostly in the hopes of the woodlandchild falling off. I like playing the game differently I’ll start hitting the giants first see if I can pull off the beat one quit out. Happy ds2 playing summon me for fume knight if ya see me.
Havent had a chance to say this but damn, these vids made me go back to playing DS2. Wound up using the Crypt Blacksword and that was someone of the most fun I've had. The vid helped too
You know which crazy, badas_s weapon rose up my fav’s list more than any other, to occupy a top spot? The Gyrm Great Hammer. One thing that stands out is that it’s 2H LIGHT attack has a PANCAKE! I can’t think of another weapon like that. The 2H light moveset is unique. Do I even need to mention how insane the damage is? Bosses like the Throne Duo melt. Strike damage, baybee! Fashion-wise, it’s S-tier: it’s an Anvil on a stick. 😎 Love it or hate it, but how can you hate that? It’s a negative, but it actually amuses me that you need like 25 END just to be able to do the second attack of the 2H Heavy. Is there another weapon that gates it’s 2H Heavy combo by needing huge END? That’s just cool, to me. It’s not ridiculously heavy. 20.0 units. And with a DEX req of FOUR, you could min/max with the lowest DEX starting class, Cleric, which has 5. It looks short, but doesn’t play short. More like Greatsword range, except your 2H light Pancake leaps a few feet. Surprise! It’s just fun. It’s so powerful. It looks gooooood.
I love this channel, I found you like 2 weeks before and been basically binge watching you since, I love that someone can still enjoy and appreciate DS2, it was my first souls and it brings a lot of memories watching you glide through it like butter. Sending love and support from Czechia, love you man.
12:41 If you hit that pillar, you can just drop down on the thing it raises and it takes you straight up to the bonfire without having to hit the other one, saving about 20-30 seconds.
Yaz is here!!! Let´s enjoy this video!! And it´s starts with a "Don´t you see the writting on the walls" * a hollow falls from above * JAJAJAJA Edit: DragonRider: "Legal? I have a date tonight, bro" * proceds to jump to the void * Edit2: mint 21:19 Look at that destruction!! Amazing! Edit3: I miss the "Get Ready for The Next Battle" in the Iron King battle and the "Where are you going? bingo?" XD Edit4: I have to add a new edit because.. that Halberd is destruction! Amazing run and I have to test it! Nice job, man!
Hope you all have been having a good return to drangleic! I have been having a blast, had a few struggles but considering making a zwei sunbro build as soon as finish my Vengarl build.
Lost sinner’s ultra greatsword is doing real damage with a lightning infusion and has a fun moveset too bro. I tried it out like last week and it was awesome!
Hey brutha, your videos inspired me and my friend to do a souls series of making perfect builds, finished ds2 with a build inspired by your crypt greatsword video + the hex one, absolutely busted, thank you so much Haven’t edited it yet but it sure was fun🙏
Try Twinblade + offhand Grand Lance. With the Stone Ring if you are feeling particularly sadistic. It is unfair once you learn how to get around parries. The only counter is literally Full Havel's and Ring of Giants +2. To elaborate, the base Twinblade has the best stamina consumption among them, and you don't need the extra damage.
The shrine of amana run was neat to see. I always cleared it with a poison infused bow, or incredible patience. The final fogwall is a pain, especially in the original.
I never get used to the sweet spot mechanic, but dang do I love the damage halberds can inflict! Right up there with the Crypt Blacksword too... Yeah I love dark builds a little too much 🖤
let's fucking go i can't wait for the mastedon halberd vid and can you do a murakumo vid after the mastedon halberd vid and as always great vids continue with this my man
I was thinking of trying this weapon myself yesterday and today I noticed your video... instantly sold on this amazing Halberd :p As usual, great work man! :]
Been constantly watching your stuff so I finally got around to subscribing. A potential future build I could see you doing is power stancing the Black Knight Ultra Greatsword with the Greatsword of the Forlorn aka the "Asta" build (I refer to it as such since I'm running this setup for my gaming channel as a Part 2 to another video I did). I'm probably running the most basic way of using it so if you wanna try that combo I'm sure we'll see the full potential of that setup.
hell yeah I appreciate it! Oh damn an Asta build sounds fun asf! Speaking of which I needa catch up on Black Clover lmao, been a minute But thanks for the idea, I'll note it down! :)
another great video yaz, killing it as always! roaring halbred gives me old memories of one of my first playthroughs in ds2 so thanks for finally using it also still waiting for the broken swords build! they may be called broken but they will be broken only if you break them, also considering YOU will be using them, im guaranteed you will find a way to break broken swords without actually breaking them, but by breaking this broken game by using these broken swords!
Hell yeah, new video again! I don't know if you have tried this or not, but I would like to see you doing a knight build with a sword and shield! I recommend the Puzzling Stone Sword and Sanctum Shield
Fencer Sharron is like Diablo from Tensura. She sees Yaz coming and cuts everyone off at the summoning gate. "I'm the only one getting summoned here. The rest of you aren't worthy to meet the glory of Master Yaz."
There's a weapon you can get from the spooky floating hood dudes before valsdat that can cast spells and be used normally its an insanely fun build you get 2 of them put crystal magic weapon on both then unleash spells while also being powerful in melee
A livestream is an actually really good idea, you should do challenge runs, or these weapon runs, I would literaly tune in while studying and stuff. You should also find out the most damage you can do
Makes a damn good point about ol' Maughlin, he starts out with close to nothing, you the player, are the only one who frequents his shop for better equipment. He comes across like he's so grateful for your purchases, and just as soon as he accumulates great wealth from YOUR souls that YOU see fit to spend on his shop, our so-called friend, our ally of armored goods, our purveyor of weaponry mot yet found, becomes so arrogant, so haughty in his tone, and condescending to YOU, the undead of this world. And so, to keep him from going down this path, it would be nothing more than a mercy to cut him down, lest he becomes consumed with his own exaggerated sense of self, while YOU, the player struggle, battle, die, and persevere to find a cure to the curse that haunts is all... (Also, extra souls, so...)
Sorry im tardy to the party Yazman. I"m one of the few people who voted for the Mastodon Halberd, so I knew what was up with your next video. But here I am watching/talking. You're doing gods work.
Hey Yaz! Great video and honestly loved the Roaring halberd used it in my first playthrough and it’s crazy to see the damage it deals with the right set ups, ever thought of using the Sun Sword for a video?
much love I appreciate it! Right? It's so much fun to use haha! I've thought about using the sun sword a while ago, so I'll add it to my list so I don't forget in the future :)
I love yazz videos on weekends, it’s really magical. I also think people don’t give enough credit with all the dope ass looking characters he always makes, making an attractive character in ds2 is already a challenge 😂
You should try the lost sinner’s greatsword. It’s a very good weapon, especially if you infuse and buff it with lightning. I one hundred percented the achievements with it.
I think he has fallen so many times, he is hurt in the head. He thinks that's what he is supposed to do now, that it is his actual moveset and Gwyn-given destiny.

Dance Gavin dance was a perfect way to start this video
Dance Gavlan Dance
No lie tho! LOVE this song! Yaz is so great, man. Homie is the REASON I love DS2 so much now
I remember when this album came out. @yaz has the best taste in music
I thought my spotify was suddenly playing holy shit lmao
@@r0n264 bro I had to check if it was playing 😂 I got a lot of dgd and secret band for my shop playlist 😂
I don’t care what anyone says, Dark Souls 2 is my favourite in the series by a mile. The fashion, the weapon variety, the DLCs, it’s just excellent.
11:55 - Fun fact, you can actually get the Forgotten Key after beating just one Giant! If you quit and reload the game after beating just one of em, you'll get the key when you reappear! Really helpful if you're underpowered and having trouble taking out both.
I always have the invader present when I try to do that and can't quit out. Ya can have 4 giants if you summon the 2 npc's in area.
@@magusesper616 in my experience, the Woodland Child invader (one and two) doesn't show up until you get close to the second bonfire, like, past the second cave-bug. Unless you mean Forlorn? Huh, I guess Forlorn IS always there the first time you walk in, I didn't keep track that close.

That's 🔥 bro, great tip!!
Halberds are my favorite weapon class in the Dark Souls series. Had great fun when I did my halberd run on my own.
Havent had a chance to say this but damn, these vids made me go back to playing DS2. Wound up using the Crypt Blacksword and that was someone of the most fun I've had. The vid helped too
Would love to see you do a livestream for one of these
0:02 looks like your spin to win sent Sir Alonne flying. 😂 His jump back matched up perfectly with it.
My man never misses with the intro songs, weapons, quality. The vibes are effervescent
Amazing choice of the intro song, as usual
1:00 she is. Seems like you mastered this game's character creation too 😅

It goes well with Full Havel's. Even has chains like the shield.
That halberd was absolutely roaring its way to the S tier it's very strong

aye much love brother i appreciate it ♥ I'm glad too that there are other people like you who enjoy ds2! we need to unite :)
Can't wait for the Mastodon Halberd, weapons that get lost in the mid-game are almost always the fun ones.
My first play through was with the mastodon halberd such a special weapon for me
Your videos are so smooth and cool to watch, could you do a video using the warped sword?
Came here to be OP with the rapier and stay for the commentary keep it up man
12:41 If you hit that pillar, you can just drop down on the thing it raises and it takes you straight up to the bonfire without having to hit the other one, saving about 20-30 seconds.
yeah you're making it into my next video
new video again! so fun to watch bro as always :D
Yazmania: I wanted to beat dragonrider lefit i swear

Happy to see you once again brother! I appreciate it as always ♥
@@Yazzmania Yazzzz... the king is back! Jajaja
I hope that you have a great week, bro. And... Take it essy, bro :)
Ngl I never touched this weapon, might consider a playthrough where I main this with some hexes n miracles.
Hope you all have been having a good return to drangleic! I have been having a blast, had a few struggles but considering making a zwei sunbro build as soon as finish my Vengarl build.
Lost sinner’s ultra greatsword is doing real damage with a lightning infusion and has a fun moveset too bro. I tried it out like last week and it was awesome!
I agree. My last playtrought I destroyed with Lost Sinner's UGS
Wow nice use of resonant weapon I had no idea it increased your damage so much more significantly
This was my main weapon on my first run of DS2 - cool to see it finally getting the spotlight. Great thumbnail too.
Hey brutha, your videos inspired me and my friend to do a souls series of making perfect builds, finished ds2 with a build inspired by your crypt greatsword video + the hex one, absolutely busted, thank you so much
Haven’t edited it yet but it sure was fun🙏

OH SHIT, I hope to see it bro! sounds like something fun to watch :) best of luck with the editing ♥
If I recall correctly, Resonant Weapon was nerfed once and since then it has the same damage of Dark Weapon but on a lower duration.
wait really? damn I've been misinformed 😭
The idea every time you talk to Charles, you’re gonna ask for a different X-Man’s number is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. Lmfao
Yesss been waiting for this one!! Used to be one of my favourite builds back in 2018
The shrine of amana run was neat to see. I always cleared it with a poison infused bow, or incredible patience. The final fogwall is a pain, especially in the original.
Yo man I started ds2 sotfs again because of your vids. Thanks for all the vids youve been uploading. Love em!
I'm glad to hear that! I hope you find joy playing it once again :)
I never get used to the sweet spot mechanic, but dang do I love the damage halberds can inflict! Right up there with the Crypt Blacksword too... Yeah I love dark builds a little too much 🖤
let's fucking go i can't wait for the mastedon halberd vid and can you do a murakumo vid after the mastedon halberd vid and as always great vids continue with this my man
I was thinking of trying this weapon myself yesterday and today I noticed your video... instantly sold on this amazing Halberd :p
As usual, great work man! :]
the king himself thanks for the vid!!
Good to see a new weapon vif love your vids so much

glad you like em :) ♥
One of my favorites of ds2's weapon selection
Love you Yaz! Ur so awesome, dude
I LOVE YOU MORE ! I'm only awesome because you watch my videos ♥
Hell yeah was waiting for this one. Used to love to use this one as early as possible always felt so strong. Video proving that point lol. GG

also still waiting for the broken swords build! they may be called broken but they will be broken only if you break them, also considering YOU will be using them, im guaranteed you will find a way to break broken swords without actually breaking them, but by breaking this broken game by using these broken swords!
I appreciate it man! ♥
LMAO I'll get to it eventually, and it's either gonna go really good or really bad, we'll have to see !
Yaz inspired me to retry ds2 after giving up, just beat it today with his vid in the background 🙏
Always glad to see a new release keep up the great work......... Also elyoum loyce eventually plz
Hell yeah, new video again! I don't know if you have tried this or not, but I would like to see you doing a knight build with a sword and shield! I recommend the Puzzling Stone Sword and Sanctum Shield

Heck yes, woke up kinda sick today, a Yazmania upload will definitely make my day better :)
hope you're feeling better by now brother ♥
@@Yazzmania Yup, little by little it's going away. Thanks man :)
Love the vids Yaz. Can’t wait for more polls for builds
22:40 Love the Irving from RE5 refence! So good
aye glad you got it haha! much love ♥
Would love to see the warped sword 2 handed/powerstanced, they seemed completely broken when i first played ds2!
Best way to enjoy a break before bedtime🥳
12:46 You dont need to raise all the columns to reach the bonfire. Just smack the first lever and jump ontop of the column and bam.
Hell yeah dance gavin dance, we love you yaz keep this shit up
My friend!!! Make sure to get the shield of want it also increases the amount of souls you get from enemies by 20%!!!!!
That’s ds3 my guy
Pleas at some point can you do a warped blade build it's a really cool weapon espesaly when you use 2 of them
Great video, keep up the great work
thank you as always for giving us these good videos^^
32:32 no one is invincible during backstabs, I remember doing a backstab on a NPC invader, Bashful Ray jumped the NPC mid animation and killed it
Big ups for the Shrine tips; love this game but hate that level
new favourite dark souls youtuber unlocked
found ur account after i started ds2 for the first time
There's a weapon you can get from the spooky floating hood dudes before valsdat that can cast spells and be used normally its an insanely fun build you get 2 of them put crystal magic weapon on both then unleash spells while also being powerful in melee
The maughlin switch up crazy 😔 Good vid again Yaz ❤
Right? How could he 😭 I appreciate it once again homie ♥
@@Yazzmania Curses upon thee
Glad I found a channel that loves DS2 as much as I do. Have you ever thought about doing a whip build?
hell yeah I'm glad to hear you enjoy it just as much! & yes It's definitely on the to-do list!
A livestream is an actually really good idea, you should do challenge runs, or these weapon runs, I would literaly tune in while studying and stuff. You should also find out the most damage you can do
thumbnail game has really levelled up recently. It's been awesome to see your growth.
I'm glad you think so that means a lot, thank you ♥
Was waiting for this one 😊
Really good video !
Your videos are great, makes me want to get back into DS2.
thank you very much! Hope you get a chance to get back into it and have a blast!
I've been watching you since the greatsword video and I'm always so happy when you post another video:)
AYE my man I appreciate it! makes me happy to hear that, hope you're doing good homie ♥
Damn didnt hear the dgd the first time around you got a great taste in music
my go-to weapon for a INT/FTH build.
The swanton bomb part has me dying every time.
OMFG I never noticed the executioner laying dead on the floor in front of the gate what the hail?? You never stop learning in a Souls game, I guess :D
Makes a damn good point about ol' Maughlin, he starts out with close to nothing, you the player, are the only one who frequents his shop for better equipment.

I'm sure its been mentioned before but you should put the eleyum loyce sword in the next poll
NO WAY!!! Dance Gavin Dance is so groovy man. Absolute banger song for an absolute banger weapon.
I love these runs
And it all ways make me to play ds2 more
Love the videos man
Here waitin for the Wall run, double greatshields;)
Fire video as per usual 🔥
Sorry im tardy to the party Yazman. I"m one of the few people who voted for the Mastodon Halberd, so I knew what was up with your next video. But here I am watching/talking. You're doing gods work.

Yoooo himothy is back 😂 this video came in clutch I got the stomach flu
damn I hope you're feeling better bro ♥

Love a bit of dance gavin dance
This one is a beast. One of the best weapons for a hexer.
10/10 editing on this video my boy
I appreciate it brother, I try to spice it up a bit when I can :)
Hey Yaz! Great video and honestly loved the Roaring halberd used it in my first playthrough and it’s crazy to see the damage it deals with the right set ups, ever thought of using the Sun Sword for a video?

Now I want to see you running that blue smelter gauntlet
I met this channel because of this video, honestly i loved this run you made, can you do with the Giant Stone Ax?
thank you brother! actually I've done the giant stone axe! It's on my channel :)
the roaring halberd walked so that the crucifix of the mad king could run
Lets gooo one step closer!!!
Told ya homie. Good shit!
YESSIR!! thank you for being patient homie, and you were 100% right, I appreciate it so much man ♥
His runs are starting to become even funnier, I like it lmao
aye glad you think so, much love homie ♥
I love yazz videos on weekends, it’s really magical. I also think people don’t give enough credit with all the dope ass looking characters he always makes, making an attractive character in ds2 is already a challenge 😂
Lool I appreciate it fam! and I be trying my best to make em look alright so im glad you noticed 😂
Hey yaz i live the video. I would love to see you do a run in ng+
After all these videos you might as well claim to have created the perfect ds2 walk through
You should try the lost sinner’s greatsword. It’s a very good weapon, especially if you infuse and buff it with lightning. I one hundred percented the achievements with it.
Yaz: I'm gonna fight him legit.
Dragonrider: Boi, do I have a surprise for ya.
I think he has fallen so many times, he is hurt in the head. He thinks that's what he is supposed to do now, that it is his actual moveset and Gwyn-given destiny.
LMAO fr
Also thanks for doing this run for me 🔥 you’re the G.O.A.T fr
You can't spell GOAT without A-nthony! ♥
