@@richardfisher8460 It takes multiple tries, but running to the boss without clearing the area is possible. Its hard but so is the boss and this area without using arrows etc., so I just ran and didn't do any ranged battles. Its worth running IMO. I have a video on my channel where I make 3-4 runs and finally beat his blue demon's ass. He's one of the hardest bosses faced till now, for me.
@@rpgbro386 Im speaking from experience also, what a bastard this guy is. I think made the decision after failing the run through, to eliminate every enemy (10 times kill) so I could waltz through.. This boss is weak to poison only I think and his attacks randomly delay so v. Hard to dodge
@@mista8277 Just because it's difficult and punishing does not equate to bad game design. If anything it's great design. You have melee enemies supported by enemy casters using debuffs on you to make surviving difficult... that's called using tactics.
Man you are so unbelievably cool-headed and disciplined in this fight. You also just inspired me to go 2 handed into this fight - and I just happened to beat him for the first time. After many many attempts.
@@kodemasterx true, I recently went in to fight him on my dex build. With fast rolls and high adaptability it’s not that hard. However, I smacked my head against the wall so many times with that build that I gave up and have not touched the game since.
@@c0smickilljoy533 I am working on beating all games in NG+7, my current playthrough is the 4th, my build became a tanky strength-hex mutant 🤣🤣and even so I had hard time going through this fucked up area...
I dumped so many hours into this game that so far I haven't really been too impressed with these videos... I eagerly await the Fume Knight and Sir Alonne videos though
A lot of the bosses were actually more difficult than Fume Knight and Sir Alonne to no hit in my opinion, but the majority were quite easy also. But Fume Knight is up now too: ua-cam.com/video/cKxCcqwBilU/v-deo.html
Honestly, this guy was so much easier than the Fume Knight, I don't know why people are having trouble with it. The AOE attacks are so obvious with easily dodgeable attacks. The run up to him, on the other hand... *PAIN*
Because how tf am I supposed to learn his attacks when I only manage to get to this mf once in 10 runs?? Fume knight is indeed an amazing and fairly difficult boss that I even felt sorry to kill. This mf on the other hand is like from ds3 with his homing attacks. Also, ds2 hitboxes, my beloved
@@netnekit468 Because 1. He's just a reskin, so you should already be somewhat familiar with his moves. 2. The run can be pretty bad, granted. But you are granted *2* summons, not to mention you can kill the enemies enough that they stop spawning.

The walk to the boss for me was one of the most painfull experiences in gaming
I ran.
It's the worst I think in any from game.. It's torture
@@rpgbro386 you can't really run I don't think, enemy placement etc is designed to stop you doing that easily

The fact that you even managed to get to the boss is impressive alone, fuck that gank passage
This passage is so fucking stupid and bad game design

This guy scares me he's too good
Never hated a boss as much as smelter demon
I remember throwing my controller cause of this guy and the run up to him is just awful.

It would be more impressive to see gameplay of how you got the Blue Smelter Demon instead 🤣🤦🏻
The Iron Passage is CANCER...
Absolutely, the way there is terrible and so is the boss.
@@c0smickilljoy533 The boss ain't that bad, his attack patterns are very predictable, I was more mad about him being a recycled boss...

No amount of negative, nasty, and hateful words can truly express my displeasure of this boss….
That Ruin Sentinel music though.
eso is our next raid boss confirmed
Oryx. But blue now
Damn and here I thought you were only good at Destiny and games like it...
Can you please explain why I need to build high damage to make boss health bar yellow
Yo f the blue smelter demon. I hate that guy haha
