So, remember how there was that complaint that "DS2 bosses are all dudes in armour"? Well, it just so happens that in DS2, strike damage is really good against dudes in armour. Pair of maces or clubs are also an easy way to get going super stronk super early. Anyway, glad you had such a good time with the dual hammer moveset. That's going to be good news once Mace of the Insolent wins the next poll =P
@@asdergold1 I understand MAYBE how it CAAAN feel a bit samey sometimes but it's not like they don't kind of shit on almost every different boss in DS2 too. People who are dedicated to hating on DS2 just end up saying a bunch of nonsense
@@VileLasagna I do remember back in original DS2 they nerfed power stance is on all hammers and clubs, the damage was insane, not that it isn’t now, every souls game weapon of choice for me at hammers and great hammers best weapon type in my opinion
been binging ur videos, only played this game for the first time a few months ago. can’t put the game down, i’ve beat it several times now with several different builds. it’s been a lot of fun to watch other ideas be put to the test, keep up the good work and no pressure on pumping out videos quickly homes, take ur time and enjoy the builds as much as u can! quick fun fact for anyone who reads this all, if u pop a bright bug while wet(either by rain, vases, puddles, any water including pharros mask!) and then quit out, when u enter the game again, you will have bright bug effect until you go through a loading screen.(from warping or dying) so you can make bright bug last basically indefinitely!
So so satisfying watching you play this game, also the humorous jokes and the editing adds to the entertainment. One the best souls channels hands down.
The mace along with hammer/club weapons in general have been my favorite across the entire souls series (with halberds following second) It was very fortunate for me that they happen to be REALLY *REALLY* good in DS2. Nice vid.
Yaaas, I'm so hyped to see this showcase of POWER!! I used the Craftsman's Hammer for basically all of my first DS2 playthru myself, and it sure DID make bosses easy - I had been using swords, and swapped to the hammer for Ruin Sentinels, and just never went back!
God I truly love your videos man. I’ve been dealing with some depression but your videos always lift my spirits up brother. Thank you as always my friend 🫶🏻
Ive never tried these outside of using a blacksmith's hammer for ruin sentinels. never expected it to be this busted. I'm gonna give this one a shot, banger video as always.
Up early for this one! If you start doing Old Dragonslayer earlier in the route, the guy behind him, Targray, will become a merchant if you join his covenant and he'll sell infinite bolt stones. So if you need early bolt stones without killing rotten to get to the ones in Shulva, you can do it that way!
Wake up, sisters! New Yaz videoooo!! Is really nice and lovely to see youuu... Love your doggo!!! Is really cute and, his desires are our commands!! In fact... what a OP buile. I've never test it before..
When not relying on counterdamage, strike is the king of physical types! The purple sky is actually very fitting, considering the lightning from high-precipitation storms takes a similar colour :) And love these RE4 bits, they're a good laugh every time :D
yeah no doubt haha! & honestly I didn't even know that but I'm glad I made the lighting fitting lmao :D & I appreciate it, always happy to see your comments ♥
craftsmons hammer is the best weapon in the game for early game runs, i use that then swap to rapier later, its fast has strike damage and hits like a beast.
7:44 strike type damage is strong against heavy armor (and enemies that look like heavy armor themselves) like if you have 500 damage slashing and 500 damage strike agaisnt like stone warriors in Drangleic, around 300 slashing and 500 strike damage will go through armor. Same goes for stabbing attacks versus medium armor, that's why rapiers melt some enemies while being normal against others
I love it I really do especially when all of that damage comes from poise damage Fun fact : you can actually choose which dark spirit you want him to invade first in iron keep Dennis usually invades you when you stand right behind where he spawns I tried it many times it worked 7/8 times Again bro I love you and your videos pls do consider to launch one every week I feel empty when don't see your new video notification when wake up
If you choose to keep Mauglin alive till you kill looking glass knight lv 2 or on first try you actually are able to get his armor set however it is heavy and requires you to have 30 some vitality in order to maintain effective character dodging and movement...Provides higher physical and lightning resistance amongst other resistances. I currently have half sanctum knight, half chaos sorcerer armor.
Once you're done with the Poll weapons, could you try out the Spitfire Spear next? could be fun. you get it from turning in the Guardian Dragon Soul to Ornifex. It also has a fun little quirk when power-stanced :)
The "why's my weapon so strong" in the first area of the game fighting the first few enemies and bosses while having a maxed out weapon kinda cracks me up ngl lol
Thank you, @Yazzmania ! I've been trying to emulate your runs with mixed results because I'm not that skilled but it's teaching me a lot of stuff I was too much of a wuss to try. I tried the Hex and Blacksmith Hammer runs I sucked at the hammers and did all the wrong things but the hex build is a darn beast. Will keep ya posted regarding others I wanna do.
I believe you can drop the Ring of Thorns on the ground before you speak with Creighton. He will give you the key and you can keep the ring. It's been a while since I tested it, but I think it works.
Just saying I found your videos after walking ds1 and 3 and now I'm on my second character in ds2 first character was based around your mastodon halberd video
Yaz: Picks up hammer
Thor: "I knew it"
LMAO 🤭
Bro, slipknot's duality at the start goes hard
He timed the word "I" perfectly with the critical attack haha
"Sir, Yazmania just dropped a new video"
Remove the comma and it still works
I just realized I binge-watched many of your videos without leaving a comment, so here it is. Peak content, keep it up!
LMAO thanks for watching the vids and deciding to comment, I appreciate it ♥

Never got the complaint since they worshipped dudes in armor and somehow expected less to appear?
Probably tourists complaining.

Dog cameo lets gooo 😂😂
bro just wanted to use the drang hammers from ds3 but remembered his soul is bound by contract to ds2 😭😭
Those two hammers are better than the Drang Hammers in DS3 lol
Why would anyone want to use any of the "dual" weapons from DS3 when true dual wielding exists in DS2?
@@TheCheapskate961 because it’s all we got 😅
10:39 that aku aku sound threw me back 15 years
lmao same, as far as I can remember (playing Crash on the ps1 when I was 4 😭)
Loved the OG RE4 reference. Still love replaying it to this day.
This hammer was my first ever weapon I completed OG DS2 with, good times
RTSR
ring
every video from now on needs to have a dog tax, cant hide such a beauty forever
LMAO sounds good to me :)
Sweet Yaz is back.
Very crafty build and i must say
You have really hammerd down a good early game routine.

Ain't no way brand new video 🔥 🔥 🔥
Up early for this one!

New idea 😂 : use Handmaid's Ladle. I wanna see so bad, how it's gonna work. I'm praying. I know, you can do it to work.
I already have a video on it haha! :)
Sounds of merchant from RE4 are icing on the cake.
"Schrllp... hnm?" will edit if I see the bomboclat skeleton.... HE SHOWED UP.

Ooooooooh...my man is soooo back

Your vidiyas have inspired me time and time again. The only thing im a little too nervous to use is the RTSR…
Talisman
LMAO I SCROLLED SO FAR DOWN AND WASN'T EXPECTING THAT 😂
This damage was insane!
New video letsgoooo
Alsoo can i request you to try the enemy randomizer mod
He returns 🎉🎉
Even Yazmania's dog acknowledges the necessary sacrifice that is Maulin's life...
LMAO for real, he catches on well :)
Slipknot intro goes crazy
Duality wieldding hammers is cool shit❤
Blacksmith's hammer was my first weapon i used in DS2, its not really a good weapon, but its super fun
3:24 It almost seems like you should have gotten that from Maughlin and Pate, with the way they moaned when they died
LMAO right?! 😂
Yooooo the goat of ds2 posted💪💪
REAL ONE ♥
Once you're done with the Poll weapons, could you try out the Spitfire Spear next? could be fun. you get it from turning in the Guardian Dragon Soul to Ornifex. It also has a fun little quirk when power-stanced :)

aye I'm glad you enjoyed it ♥
Strike damage is so good. That's why I love the smelter hammer.
I just truly realized how busted strike damage is 😂 that explains why the smelter hammer "smelts"
@Yazzmania it's ridiculously overpowered. Even more so than in DS1
Great video.
Beautiful dog!
Have a good day, man!
Thank you !! glad you liked both the video and my dog haha
have a wonderful day ♥
Thank you, @Yazzmania !
I've been trying to emulate your runs with mixed results because I'm not that skilled but it's teaching me a lot of stuff I was too much of a wuss to try.
I tried the Hex and Blacksmith Hammer runs
I sucked at the hammers and did all the wrong things but the hex build is a darn beast.
Will keep ya posted regarding others I wanna do.
If you didn't know you can farm the archdrake pilgrims in shrine of Amana for twinkling titanite
"wake up it's the first of the month"
Hell nah it's "wake up buddy yazmania dropped"
LMAO real one fr ♥
I believe you can drop the Ring of Thorns on the ground before you speak with Creighton. He will give you the key and you can keep the ring. It's been a while since I tested it, but I think it works.
Such cute doggo
Thank youuu haha ♥
Your dog looks like such a big baby oh my goodness
haha he literally is 😂
would love a all weapon tier list after completing all kinds of run.
Just saying I found your videos after walking ds1 and 3 and now I'm on my second character in ds2 first character was based around your mastodon halberd video
nice stuff dude 💯💯🔥🔥🗣🗣✅
Much love homie thank you ♥
Intensify when Yaz finds Flyn ring. Bling Blaow
STRIKE DAMAGE OP
Respect for using og slipknot song ❤
aye glad you know ♥
Lack of stamina recovery is what always gets me killed in boss fights.
Imagine if Andre used his hammer to fight you instead of his bare fists
Bro's cooking 🥶
