@@AlmostSaDiK the problem with other souls is that all the meat is already on the grill, you feel me? what else is left to do in those games? unless homie here got a revolutionary idea, someone already did it, I have seen new channels not grow trying to make the typical videos of runs on DS3 or Elden Ring, because every possible idea has already been made. This channel has grown because it is giving content that we DS2 fans don't have. The little that is seen out there of this game are no hit runs.
@@Just_A_Cheat_Copy i kinda agree, but man, i have been following this guy since he started making build videos. Now, it feels like he doesn't have any more new builds to play through cause ds2 is a finite game .dont misunderstand me, i still like almost all of his videos, but some time soon, ds2 is gonna have no interesting builds to go through, man
I really hope Yazmania actually see this comment. I appreciate your content so much it actually got me into doing challenge runs on DS2 and has helped me through my parents divorce, so thank you so much for your content and ability to make me smile in dark times
Damn, i know from experience how hard it is being in the middle, having to deal with all the anger and hatred coming from both sides is not fun, i really hope ya doing better now
I used those shields when I tried to mimic Luet Build(I picked those2 because I thought the powerstance would make easier to fight, and I was right), it was one of the funniest builds I did, the best part was when I remembered that shields could be used to block attacks and started blocking stuff instead of dodging(I spent so much time hitting things with the shields, that I forgot what was their primary function)
And explore and collect the fragments. The enemies do way too much damage even with fragments. I take it it's because the AI kinda sucks and the moveset isn't particularly amazing. Flashy AoEs and all, but not nearly as good as most of the base game. Some bosses are decent, don't get me wrong, but damn it was kinda mid overall.
Hm.....idea for a vid. One where you do a "Oliver the Collector" (that invader NPC in Iron Keep) style build, where you gotta use the rarest weapons in the game; stuff like the Old Mirrah Greatsword, Monastery Scimitar, etc. Also, HELL YEAH, THE WALL!
Great video as always. I also tried for a shield (only) run a while ago, getting the greatshield from Maughlin first and then just slamming Havel's shield into everyone's faces soon after. Greatshields actually hit like a truck, it's nuts. By the way, you probably already know but the Black Witch's Staff can cast everything except pyromancies. That would save you the trouble of shuffling around multiple casting tools at the cost of a bit of casting speed and 1 unit of weight. One of the caged mimics in Aldia's fun house serves as a fixed drop if crypt drop RNG doesn't play along, too, which is nice.
A mildly interesting bit of greatshield trivia I found out years ago, the forward r2 has deceptive midair tracking and always flattens player sized humanoids. Was fun in the arena.
Your videos gave me newfound appreciation for weapons in souls games. I get caught up in weapon tierlists because i dont want to purposely "nerfing myself".
Tip for ya yaz since you like using sacred oath and whisper of despair if im not mistaken you can get a staff from the blue witches in the undead crypt that cast miracles, pyromany, and hexes. That way you wont need to swap to cast your buffs/debuffs.
the black witch's staff casts miracles sorceries and hexes and can get an attack rating of over 1000 but it doesn't actually do much if you whack enemies with it
@@mmmmmmmmdaaaamnnnnbabyyyy yes knew what it was just not what it was call figure it would be easier for buffs and whisper of despair since you wont have to swap
you had me at "what do you think? i look good granny?"...and she smacking the table with laughter like she has magic mike in front of her at chippenndale's!!
Love your videos man, they’re great. But could you ever make some sort of guide? Like “Op strength early” or “Op caster early” and actually walk newer players through the game??
Bro your vids really helped me a lot before i found your channel i was struggling with ds2 but i got inspired by your builds and made my own op build and beat the game for the first time easly, thank you and keep it up!!!
Greatshields are so underrated in souls. Ive been using them since DS1 and I love them. Ive been steamrolling the Elden Ring DLC with them too. As always I enjoyed the vid man!
You are the number one reason I keep coming back to ds2 always showing me new ways to make builds even tho I don't have the sotfs edition I still make my builds work
Yooo, this is about to be so good! I've never managed to get the hang of shield fighting, so seeing an expert blaze thru the game with em is gonna be SWEET!
The characters you made in every of your video look awesome. I'm struggling to make good looking characters in character creation. Could you make a video to show the slides you used for some of your characters?
Bosses: the heck is that?? The Wall: Steel Smasher Bosses: thats a shield, thats not a weapon. The Wall: nope, steel smasher (proceeds whacking bosses) 😂
That poise dmg is insane. Wonder if a stone ring replaces the ring of blades+2 can you poise break some bosses in 1 hit at cost of slightly less damage.
yeah it was lmao, I'm definitely gonna try it again in the future but with the stone ring instead like you mentioned, cause if it improves your poise break against bosses then that sounds interesting hehe
The ds3 version (giant door shields) also do insane poise damage. Actually I think most shields across the souls games do a lot of poise damage for some reason.
Hey there bro Plz tell me about when you go to infuse a weapon, how u get equipment status menu with it? I seen in ur videos it really helps u tell in which form u r going to infuse a weapon
MAN, I'm so glad that i find your channel, fr. I think u know how's sad is it to search some ds2 vids, look at the dates of them (3-4 year's ago, waduh..) and wipe up your tears sorry for bad England I'm not nahahahahahative.
Never Stop doing DS2 videos. We probably the smallest community of fromsoftware games are passionate with DS2.
Real
Nah, man, i personally want to see this guy expand and try ds3 ,elden Ring, and other games, too

1:49 to become the wall, you must first talk to the wall
😂😂😂
LMAO literally 😂
You gotta embrace the wall!
You gotta sniff the wall!
You gotta lick the wall!
You gotta wash the wall!
You gotta date the wall!

aye I'm glad I can help out in some way, thank you for the kind words homie and I wish you all the best ♥ keep your head up king :)
4:50: 'he only spawns in twice'
Homie really hasn't noticed its two different npcs
Xd
loool I always forget 😭

LMAO, another one for the list 😂
THE WALL THE WALL THE WALL
NO ONE MAN ON EARTH CAN MAKE IT FALL
Did NOT think these were gonna hit as hard as they do, damn son
Ds2 replayability is the best of the franchise
nah , its not. everyday a ds2 fan getting anything trying to be the best in the franchise lmao
@@Spid4r1 what in your opinion, is?
How about you replay with deez nuts??
@@Spid4r1Most build variety, most build potential, and the NG+ has actual effort put into it
@@Spid4r1 no teleport Souls 1 and linear Souls 3 can only Dreams the replay value of ds2
Before you do Elden Ring's DLC, I highly suggest leveling up Vigor to 60 (or close to it). The enemies and bosses in the DLC hit like trucks.
You need to collect the fragments or you'll wanna spike your controller into mollens forehead fr
@@ScarlettesFuneral That too.
And explore and collect the fragments.
The enemies do way too much damage even with fragments.
I take it it's because the AI kinda sucks and the moveset isn't particularly amazing.
Flashy AoEs and all, but not nearly as good as most of the base game.

@@asdergold1 it was mostly just hard out of resistance+ them butchering mimic ai and making the bosses hard focus host
The lobster and opaline hardtear both help alot as well, easy buffs that reduce damage by like 20%
12:38 Wow never expected it to be good as this ig it's the power of "THE WALL"
Hm.....idea for a vid.
One where you do a "Oliver the Collector" (that invader NPC in Iron Keep) style build, where you gotta use the rarest weapons in the game; stuff like the Old Mirrah Greatsword, Monastery Scimitar, etc.

Love your videos man, they’re great. But could you ever make some sort of guide? Like “Op strength early” or “Op caster early” and actually walk newer players through the game??
I could definitely, i'll try to remember to do something like that in the future :)
Same. Some of the stuff you use I never knew existed. Like the first shield. I thought the guys with both shields dropped both just had to farm.
Man I recently discovered your channel and it’s already became one of my favourites. I watched so many videos more than once I love it.
The wall has to be one of the most iconic dark souls memes
I love your videos they’re a straight up vibe to watch
hehe real one I appreciate it ♥
Bro your vids really helped me a lot before i found your channel i was struggling with ds2 but i got inspired by your builds and made my own op build and beat the game for the first time easly, thank you and keep it up!!!
He built THE WALL and made the enemies pay for it! 🗽
10:18 Yaz dropped the "you're beautiful" pate on us. 😧😢 You're... you're b-b-beautiful too 😳
Immovable object and unstoppable force working together in this one. 🛡🛡
haha hell yeah!!
When new Yazmania vid came out you can call me Slumbering dragon
LOL goated comment ♥
Greatshields are so underrated in souls. Ive been using them since DS1 and I love them. Ive been steamrolling the Elden Ring DLC with them too. As always I enjoyed the vid man!
Damn I feel old not one comment on that spooky island reference. I need to rewatch the movies now. Thanks for reopening a core memory.
I'm right there with you in feeling old haha
You are the number one reason I keep coming back to ds2 always showing me new ways to make builds even tho I don't have the sotfs edition I still make my builds work
Me encantaria ver una run de NG+7. Se que llevaria mucho tiempo, pero se que con vos todo seria lo mejor!!!
Como siempre, buenisimos videos yaz!
YOOOOOOO hell yeah finallyy bro ive been waitin to see how the shields do so I can give em a try too lol
i keep hearing the riff for custer by slipknot at 8:22 😭
LMAO goated 😂
Keep it up yaz! Great work!
Yooo, this is about to be so good! I've never managed to get the hang of shield fighting, so seeing an expert blaze thru the game with em is gonna be SWEET!
Been waiting for this
Was also hoping to see more leaping R2 attacks.
love you man great job
DS1 & 3 are masterpieces but I can’t just get bored of DS2 it just hits deferent ❤
I been waiting on this one yaz
The sellsword luet build 🗿
DEADASS haha 🔥
nice job man. im not the one for such stuff myself but love to watch
3:56 ???
RTSR WHAT?
20:32 Oh, It`s ok :)
always wanted to see this!
$B and DS2 is the epitome of Chad taste
I love how it seems you love this game. I play it all the time and am a little sad that so many people hate it
I'm Brazilian and I really love your channel, DS2 sotfs is the best
BOMBASS VIDEO! also will make a no bonfire or a no death run? I love to see a illusionry challenge run from you
yessir hopefully sometime soon hehe, im having fun with the Elden Ring DLC rn tho haha
@@Yazzmania Alright! cool to know you are having fun!
You should definitely do a tier list after you've done enough runs. You probably know more about DS2's weapons than almost anyone else at this point.
Dark Shield 2 my favorite game
The poise damage is insane lol
great vid!
17 minutes ??? BOMBOCLAT!!
Keep up the great work, you’re my favourite UA-camr, you’re on another level❤
The characters you made in every of your video look awesome. I'm struggling to make good looking characters in character creation. Could you make a video to show the slides you used for some of your characters?
Oh my God, you actually did it! The Shield Wielders all around the world feel represented and honored!
you were the one who got me into ds2, and i eventually platted it. love you yazzy
aye I'm glad to hear, hope you had a good time with it :) love you too ♥
Wondering if you'll do Syans spear run sometime soon after the poll you made.
the content i need to avoid dlc spoilers lol, love the content man keep it up
Great video, bro
I am actually proud that I came up with the idea of ending the RTS Ring sentence in a totally different scene of the video. 😂
I couldnt do nun but notice sir allone ost playing in the background
Bosses: the heck is that??
The Wall: Steel Smasher
Bosses: thats a shield, thats not a weapon.
The Wall: nope, steel smasher (proceeds whacking bosses) 😂
LMAO literally 😂
You’re the best, so stoked!!!!!!!
Baatiboy badman............ring! Hahah good to see him again ❤
LETS GOOO ANOTHER VID
REAL ONE WELCOME BACK ♥
Finally, the armorplate cutting scissors build!
Pate will give you his armor set, weapon , shield and ring if you summon him at Last Giant and find him in earthen peak
I love that buggsey loves to get down but also has a crippling nicotine addiction
Yaz literally carrying me after work what a champ
Everybody: Elden Ring DLC
Yaz: Take this PowerStance Great Shield
MadMan, the Elden Ring DLC is Dark Souls 2
Another W video, keep up the great content we ds2 fans eat good every time you post
We fresh off the line with this one boys
love these weapons, so fun!
WHEN YA COME TO IT AND YOU CANT GO THRU IT
AND YA CAN'T GO AROUND
YOU KNOW THAT YOU FOUND
THE WALL
Yessir here we go again! One love. Always a good day when Yaz posts n im here the moment it goes up. ❤️🤘
is it possible to beat dark souls 2 with only summons?, if so thatd be interesting. (and hard)
Plz make a video for CRAFTSMAN HAMMER ❤
That poise dmg is insane.
Wonder if a stone ring replaces the ring of blades+2 can you poise break some bosses in 1 hit at cost of slightly less damage.
yeah it was lmao, I'm definitely gonna try it again in the future but with the stone ring instead like you mentioned, cause if it improves your poise break against bosses then that sounds interesting hehe
The ds3 version (giant door shields) also do insane poise damage. Actually I think most shields across the souls games do a lot of poise damage for some reason.
whats the music during the all bosses run section?
I've got a variety, is there one in particular you wanna know ?
Hey there bro
Plz tell me about when you go to infuse a weapon, how u get equipment status menu with it?
I seen in ur videos it really helps u tell in which form u r going to infuse a weapon
I press Triangle, on Xbox it would be Y :)
Btw I think ur the God of ds2
16:44 getting hitbox porn in ds2 is kinda crazy especially considering how weird they can be normally
hey yaz, does this works with havel's greatshields too?
Probably but I don't think it's as strong as these shields,
also you can't power stance Havel's shield with one of these.
Love the vids
Homie took about 20 minutos to finish the "RTS Ring" bit
G make sure to play the ds2 Scrambler mod. its similar to the item randomazir but so much better and more fun
BLIIIIIIING BLAOOOOWWW NOW THIS IS CINEMA
Guys, do you know the name of that "helmet" that looks like the one the ds3 firekeeper wears? I want to find it but I don't know the name
MAN, I'm so glad that i find your channel, fr.
I think u know how's sad is it to search some ds2 vids, look at the dates of them (3-4 year's ago, waduh..) and wipe up your tears
sorry for bad England
I'm not nahahahahahative.
Hey i guess ya know but ya can also upgrade armor for improved defence
I havent watched the video but In my half awake state I misread the thumbnail as "Obama and Reeves"
What is that DS2 mod you are using, for lightning and general look of the game?
A true king of content right here
I want to see this man do the Chariot Lance. It’s garbage and I’m curious how he would make it optimal
... RING!
Raime didn't even get to go to second phase... holy fuccah
Never knew shields were this good for damage
Yeah never stop doing ds2 content. Love you bro
real one, love you too homie ♥
Bro the “Ring” delay made me fall outta my chair
hahaha hell yeah 😂
You should do a craftsman hammer run
The wall unbeatable in every game. To bad you didn't walk to enemy slowly for the mental pressure
