Fun fact: If you go to the npc to the right of the entrance of the Iron keep he will now actually sell you the armor from fume Knight and from Sir Alonne.
Dang, I missed that. Already kicked off NG+.
KNOWLEDGE AQUIRED!!! THANKYOU
magirold? ok.
What happens if you give him the dragon egg
@@joo1325 he let me join a dragon covenant thing. No idea how it works though. I'm just like uh huh, cool. Moving on now.
Sir Alonne is so good! Fun fact about him btw: If you manage to beat him without taking a hit once during the fight then you'll get a special death animation where he commits seppuku! It's super awesome
I gotta try this one day 👀
@@matiasgago please don't try seppuku, life's too short to do that 🥸

Sir alonne is literally gigachad. Joins a random kingdom, became a legend and refused to elaborate
He really is him
he did this multiple times even, helping some king to rise to power, than abruptly leaving to do it all over again. he is like the ultimate loyal samurai.
@@ManEaterBrainBug though he helps them and does never betray, simply leaving them does not seem very loyal
@@ManEaterBrainBugan old iron king…
26:11 What a wholesome moment! thanks for leaving that in, I really related to it! Keep up the amazing work
"are you losing son?"
We’ve all been there and it’s really lovely to see.
Thought you were gonna get Smelter Demon on the first go and miss out on all that beautiful runback. It's a good thing you were able to experience the best part of the game
For real I feel so lucky
Sir Alonne is my favorite boss in entire DS2, and I still listen to his theme even in these days. Makes our day epic.
Also, 41:49 WTF was that?! HAHAHA
Never seen that entire of my life of dark souls, that got me good.
That "voy" after "vamos a comer" had the most Venezuelan feeling I've seen on RUclips. And then the "te acaban de matar?" Made me think of my mother and father, they always say that in the perfect moment. Greetings from the house of Arepas, my dude! Enjoy the rest of the game! ❤
watching you improve throughout the series is one of the most satisfying things to see lol
I appreciate you
@@matiasgago The best part is seeing you more aware of fromsoft’s tendencies with each passing game
@@todeskult2818 watching him learn to control stamina consumption and look for windows and attack patterns brings me joy
i must say he got trained by the fume knight.
I wish there was a 'love' button. Your content just delivers time and time again, and I'm here for the entire journey man 😎❤️
I appreciate you my man
@@matiasgago Hey I appreciate you too, for you do for the community and your subscribers. And you're just having a blast doing what you do and I love that. 🎉
Whats even cooler is the fact that you where using a katana against him...that is just amazing.
Alonne does get his sword buff from stabbing you. If you turn his soul into the Bewitched Alonne Sword then you too can buff the blade by stabbing yourself.
You can even damage enemies with the seppuku animation. Press Continue did an entire run with just that attack.
Mati’s mom walking in, to let him know they are going to eat, was a sudden but welcome surprise 😄
The blue Smelter demon has the same attacks as the original one but with different timings. So the "muscle memory" actually makes things worse for you.
It does change the timings, but Elden Ring trains you so hard that these bosses get "powercreeped", like back in the day Nameless king was so infamous, yet now he just an tough boss.
Next dlc has the old ivory king my favourite boss from ds2 visually, can’t wait for you to fight him!
Possibly the best entrance of any boss in Soulsborne
@@schpleeb That super hero landing to ground with the boys. going to war. That was awesome.
I think 53:12 perfectly sums up your journey: 3 swipes, 3 immaculate dodges, music key change and that wide grin head nod. This fight is Fromsoft’s greatest dance and when everything clicks it’s truly special. So glad to have that moment captured.
This one is gonna be a banger.
Can confirm this episode was a banger.
Seeing you overcome this boss is such a joy to watch because this is what the games are all about. Enjoying every component (music, challenge, lore, learning, pain, and success) this game has to offer in just one enemy to a why I love these games. Ivory king is another amazing boss to look forward to.
And ds3 has by far the best (and most overall best) bosses and music in the entire franchise by many miles. Super excited for it
Sir Alonne's moveset might not be as broad, but what makes him unique is his variable attack timings and combinations which make this fight heavily reaction-based. And his sword only turns red when he hits you with the sword grab attack, as a form of punishment. Gotta love this boss, definitely one of, if not, the best boss of this game.
U will never forget the main boss fight of last DLC. It is still one of the most unique boss fights ever. Be prepared to be in awe ✊️
Indeed
sir alonne clears
@@willcotterill8598 100%
but ivory king is amzing boss
Prefect build up
Prefect music
Amazing lore
Badass design
In both smelter demon fights, in phase two, the smelter demon is glowing with power from his torso and you take damage just from being close to him. Magic damage with the blue smelter demon, and fire damage from the red smelter demon.
Sir Alonne, Fume Knight and a certain Boss you will meet on the last DLC are so good an intense, hard but fair duel. A tip i will give you for the next DLC: Between the 1 and 2 boss re-explore the map there is a lot of helpfull stuff around
That moment with your mom was incredibly wholesome and funny! Keep up the fantastic work, Mati!
The last DLC is my favorite. People don't like it because of a certain optional area, but it's still the best visually and for story.
Honestly I had a blast with Ivory King, prolly my favourite boss in the game with Fume Knight super close.
elyeum loyce is the best dlc are. most fun to explore, most replayability because of melting ice, alsanna is one of my favorite npcs (her voice when you enter first = iconic)
The run back to this boss is the most annoying thing😂😂 hope you are getting better mati thanks for the video!
Thank you Rippy 😮💨 I was running for my life lmaoo
i'm so happy you got around to dark souls 2. good on you for not skipping games. you've gotten so damn good, fight was beauitful!! ♥
also, i just wanna let you know that the third DLC is fucked up, but not in the typical way you might think. it's going to be interesting AND evil/fucked up simultaneously. seriously one of the most oddball areas in the souls games. however, the main bossfight is BAD ASS
Even if it is the worst game of the series ,you still have to expirence it yourself. DS2 has some great moments and some good ideas. But for every good idea there are 10 bad ones. 😁😉
@@tobitroyer9429 i'd rather play it than straight line simulator ds3. i play these games mostly for the themes, atmosphere, art, and exploration. Not JUST the bosses like a lot of people lol. and DS2 hits all of those marks. its absolutely the most thematically resonant of the souls games.
@Tabby Crumch everybody prefers different things from those games 🎮. Whatever makes the most fun for you. DS2 has some good areas and bosses as well. DS 1 has in my opinion the best world to explore. DS3 is the most polished version of all the games and has some of my favorite areas and bosses 🙌.
DS2 has important lessons to teach regarding stamina management and positioning that carry over into all of the other games. It's definitely good that he didn't skip it. And anyways, the worst souls game is still head and shoulders above pretty much every other game.
I remember watching ur sifu video and back then u didn't have much views back then, look at u now, in the thousands, proud of u man
I'm glad ur getting all this recognition
the race car noise when that guy was sprinting had me geeking lol
Cool thing about the bosses in this dlc is that if you do Alonne hitless, he'll have a special death animation. Also, if you know the lore and wear the fume knight's "friend's" helm in his fight, he'll skip straight to phase 2.
Vengarl, noooooo!
*puts spicy salt and power pepper on baguette*
*velstadt
Vengarl is the headless one, worn as a helmet.
Velstadt is the Royal Aegis, who is Raime's opposite and equal.
CMDR Raime is the Fume Knight, who spices his weapon for added context.
Each DLC has it's own gimmicks for traversal. Sunken King had the switches with the raising platforms and rotating gates. Old Iron King had a more vertical design layout and the scepter you had to collect to power up the elevators. Ivory King also has a few gimmicks for level progression up its sleeve. If something in it seems impossibly difficult, consider you might be missing something. Except the "Frigid Outskirts," that's supposed to be frozen hell on Earth, _literally_ , it's the place of punishment for those who were exiled.
Such an amazing boss. This "painful" DLC is one of the best really
My favourite out of the two we’ve played by a mile
@@matiasgago the next one will probably either be your favorite or least favorite or both at the same time 😂 that’s kinda how I feel about ivory king
cant wait for reindeer winter fuckland. lets goooooo! 🎉🎉
After watching you on this channel since DS1 (and gone back and watched BB and some of Elden Ring, which admittedly I haven't finished yet, also somewhat new to Souls), I can't stress how excited I am to see the Sekiro playthrough. You seem to really enjoy bosses like Sir Alonne or Gwyn in which it's really almost like a dance, you learn the moves, adapt, and evolve. And I think Sekiro is CHOCK FULL of fights like that. Easily my personal favorite FromSoft game (hell, even my favorite game of the past 5 years, maybe even 10) and even though I'm excited to see DS3 next (cause it'll surely win a poll for it), I'll be here through it. Also been enjoying Hollow Knight too. Keep up the good work, much love
also can't wait for the OST reactions in DS3. They switched composers from DS1 to DS2 but they bring back the DS1 composer for DS3 and they just deliver absolute FIRE
Let's go. Been waiting for the old iron king DLC part 2. I think you are the only youtuber i can watch an hour of without a break
What goes down must come up? More Iron King exploration!
Bing bong
Thank you for adding that race car sound effect to the alonne knight. That made my day
You're 100% correct. Sir Alonne gets a buff from stabbing you and coating his sword in your blood
What’s funny is this boss’ ost is the most standard sounding ost in DS3 so you’re gonna have fun with that game 😂
No
Sir alonne theme is better than most of ds3 ost's
Dude you are getting so good at these games, would love to se you reacting to your first Elden Ring video to reflect on the growth afer you beat every souls game
Gonna miss DS2 so much, but the hype for DS3 is real
Same feeling
for real
Yessss
You have to love the Monday afternoon uploads to get us through. So pumped for the struggle.
fun fact if you defeat him without taking a hit he kills himself because of shame
No fucking way
@@matiasgago on my momma homie
Just so you know, Lifegems stop healing you once you're at full HP. It's too late now, but I think Elizabeth Mushrooms heal for a fixed amount of time even if you get back to 100% HP. Also the reason Blue Smelter was taking 15 damage at a time was because the Manslayer katana has poison on it, so each 15 was one tick of poison damage.
HELL-FUCKING YEAH! I am so glad you put Sir Alonne as the top boss in the game! he's always been my fav boss and also his weapon is mighty! I have used it long ago and i can proudly say it is one of the best weapons in the game!!
41:51 i never seen this before. I'm fucking laughing. And that sound effect was scared me at first
People complain about the runbacks n difficulty n stuff, but I think really, it is the fact every player has had to deal with the same issues and challenges that makes the Souls community so good, and has created such a cult classic - so classic it has pretty much spawned a genre.
If it was just bonfires outside boss-rooms throughout DS1/2/3, I really don't think some of the victories would hit as hard, and people wouldn't have such emotional responses to actually winning.
(Same applies to everything from awful runbacks, to swarms of BS mobs, difficult bosses, and even areas like Shrine of Amana - it is the size of the struggle that creates such a great feeling once you pass it -- also is why there should never be a difficulty option imo.)
Quite right.
I may be moaning and complaining like a bitch, but at the end of it all, the adrenaline and victory will be all the sweeter.
@@josephinejekyl5848 If I'm not almost insane/giving up by the time I beat a new boss or area, it wasn't tough enough lol.
Sekiro was the best for this for me - some bosses were a little easy having played all the previous Souls, but I reckon some of them are up there in the list of 'hardest bosses From has ever made', but in a skilful way - EG; Elden Ring had some tough fights but some felt a bit bullshit at times (double bosses with complimentary movesets, homing attacks, extremely aggressive bosses with very small windows to attack, etc), whereas with Sekiro, dying feels like the fault of the player, not the fault of the boss. You die because you slip up, not because two bosses have attacks that stunlock you to death or something.
@@Tomp4ul i can tell a good fight by the hand shakes and delirious laughing i get about 1 minute after
@@josephinejekyl5848 is it even a boss fight if you're not left shaking and sweating?
I hope you’re feeling better my man, keep up the great content
Thank you brotha still sound like a bit of a chain smoker but we’re getting there much love to you
You sound just like Bob from Bob’s Burgers! Love the videos keep ‘‘em coming!
Fun fact, if you dodge SIr Alonne for something like 5 minutes, without taking damage; He'll commit seppuku, killing him instantly.
Wait for real? I thought it was only if you kill him without getting hit
I'm pretty sure that's only if you beat him hitless, never heard of just avoiding him
@@ZoeBateman I think you might be right and that I just misremembered.
@@melancholicminerva6370yeah you still gotta beat him hitless
For those who suffering in Blue Smelter: He melts like cheese against poison, toxic, etc. If u have good pyro flame, use poison and toxic fog. Another great spell is dark fog. U can also use arrows, knives etc. Just summon a guy and run like crazy till boss room (it has very systematic route to avoid all, needs bit practice), let him aggro on summon and use every spell, skill u have. Then just grab popcorn and enjoy things get over in few seconds. U won't have to hit even once 👍👍👍. Hope it helps. Happy hunting!!!
Man I can't wait for the final boss of the Ivory dlc, that's such an epic boss man! Goodluck and as always, enjoying your vids!
In vanilla game, the jail cell route was the easiest and shortcut. In SoTFS, it is still a shortcut but hardest to cross as the enemies show up immediately after using lever blocking whole path and not to mention the bombardment. It makes crossing the path basically a matter of RNG and luck in total chaos. The enemies used to stay in cells before making it really easy
41:50 when you rush to the boss but then remember he rushes you
You're getting pretty darn good at them there Souls bosses, Mati. 😃
Btw there is a headpiece that practically makes you "uncursible" (dont know if that's a word😅). Its in an illusory wall. Ride the elevator on the way to Sir Alonne and spam the interact button on the whole ride at the wall.
That would’ve came in pretty clutch 😅
@Mati I wanted to wait for this part to drop before i comment that. Don't spoil to much 😅 but it's indeed handy if you're planning on completing Nadaljas soul (all 12 fragments)
_Float like a Cadillac, sting like a Beemer. I am speed._
Glad you're sounding better!
The whole time you were super hype about fume knight, i was just thinking "omg i can't wait till he gets to sir alonne." such an incredible boss.
Sir Alonne is a nice warm up for the brutality of Sekiro.
You are right, he only buffs his sword after he hits you with the grab attack. Dodging that attack is key to having a much easier time with him
The 15 that you saw on smelter demons blue's healthbar
Was poison damage being done to him thanks to the maskayer katana
Almost there :) your going to love Dark Soul 3 my friend :)
37:20 ain’t no way you called him “sirloin” 😂 probably the funniest thing I’ve heard all day
Ya, Sir Alonne's sword is special. When it penetrates and tastes a vast amount of blood it glows red and gets a damage buff temporarily. If you trade for the weapon you can stab yourself through the midsection to activate the buff with I think it's L2.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you do Crown of the Ivory King. The dlc is kind of punishing at times but the bosses are great, and the final boss is in my top 3 in DS2 (along with Sir Alonne and Fume Knight) and by far my favorite in terms of lore.
Praying for deliverance of their souls is a thing, you got 1 in the boss fight, requires 50 in total, each milestone nets you a part of the eleum loyce armor set (the white one), and finally alsanna's soul. You can actually go back in to the chaos to farm knights, it's easier as a phantom, or before killing the boss.
The charred set can also be obtained by killing the knights.
I got fired today but your video made me feel better, thank you Mati
I am so sorry to hear that Ulusia
Did you know that the smelter demon is not completely reskin? He doesnt only do more damage, but he can delay his attacks if he wants. You can see it here 27:12. The original smelter demon does not delay his attacks.
Fume Knight and Sir Alone are definitely the best bosses of ds2 but final boss of the last dlc is also pretty good but his "runback" is rather unique (no spoilers, you gotta see it). The bullshit part everyone warned you about is in the multiplayer area of the dlc. The runback to it's boss is what I like to call a "winter ghost horse wonderland" (worst runback in all of the souls games). The boss itself is nothing to write home about so don't feel bad if you decide to skip it.
I love Sir Alonne's OST. Feels like a lot of the DS3 music is inspired by it
Always mange to put a smile on my face, more powerful than you might think my friend, keep up the great work and amazing content
The last dlc doesn't force you to go through the whole area to find a boss but not doing that makes things much harder.
Legend has it, Mati is still getting continuously impaled by Alonne to this day... "I did it again!"
Here we are booy, besto boss ever. So happy to be alive! Witnessing this jewels of videos!
If you kill Sir Alone without getting hit, he dies with a different animation ❤❤❤
As someone else in here said the Manslayer can poison enemies which is why you saw the 15 damage during the Smelter fight, 15 damage per tick. You can increase it's poison build up by infusing it with poison too.
I’m early nice, can’t wait to watch Mati conquer the best bosses in DS2 🔥🔥🔥
The early gang is always accepting new recruits 👊🏽 appreciate you!
@@matiasgago bro fun fact: if you beat Sir Alonne without taking damage, he commits unlife. You can watch that before starting the 3rd dlc if you like.
Also W mom btw 👍
Sir Alonne is my favorite boss in DS2. looking forward to your play through of Sekiro
‘better than a gym membership’ lmao i’ve said the same thing 😆 gets ur heart rate higher than the stairmaster 3000
Gotta love hit box souls. The number of times the “grab” jerked you back to the center after you dodged was hilarious
DS2 doesn't really have as big of a problem with hitboxes as it does with poor visual representation of how you got hit. If they had Alonne shift more towards you with that attack and made the animation change on the player character more fluid no one would bat an eye. Then anyone could see he just didn't time his roll properly. Most souls games don't punish you for not rolling at the exact right time so it's no wonder people cried about this game's hitboxes so much. If you actually know how to roll, 20 ADP is more than enough to dodge everything in the game, including the blue smelter demon.
People hate on Blue Smelter but I will maintain that the Smelter Demon moveset is one of the best in all of DS2. The runbacks suck but the bosses are so much fun.
The car sound effect with the knight is killing me.
I literally spent a couple of hours clearing out the whole place because I was not about to suffer through that run back. Got him down after a couple hours and sir alonne is easily one of the best bosses ever made. I don’t think the boss room has been topped since
I just Open RUclips and see your video, I get in to watch it! Almost the end! Keep going matiiiii 🎉
Just watched up to when you beat Blue Smelter Demon. You were confused why the boss's health bar said 15 damage constantly. The 15 damage ticks were Poison. You kept inflicting the Demon with Poison from your Manslayer. The Poison that the Manslayer does is another reason that it's an amazing weapon.
When DS2 was originally released, I was among the many who hated it. Bought it, beat it, traded it in and didn't look back, which means I never played the DLC. 9 years later, watching you go through it has almost (I say almost) lit a fire in me to give it another chance. Thank you for that, and for all the joy you bring taking us on these journeys with you!!
Next DLC is painful.
Wait til DS3 though, it's so freaking good. Midir, Sister Freide, Nameless King, Gael (the lore and the fight is my favourite in all soulsbourne).
Lol, one thing I noticed that tells you that you are really getting a rhythm for the game is that you can call when you are about to get hit and die as soon as the enemy attack animation starts. Noticed it against the Smelter Demon and Sir Alonne, but you're getting close to mastering the game, you just need to hold back on that reflex mashing, it was probably my biggest problem in DS2...You've got to play it safe and smart in many cases to even have a chance...they really like to gank you in this game, especially on NG+ when you get tons of extra red phantoms...
In terms of boss design Sir Alonne, to me, demarcates a shift towards the philosophy that we would come to see in DS3 and Fromsoftware games thereafter (minus the runback thankfully).
Most of the bosses (before the DLC) had me disappointed with regard to how unremarkable they felt, not just in terms of the gameplay but also music, arena and narrative context when compared to DS3 (with exceptions such as Looking Galss Knight of course). Sir Allone on the other hand, in terms of his overall presentation, suddenly felt like something out of DS3. Dynamic moveset, incredible boss arena, a placement that has contextual significance, personality in the movement, visual design that fits the boss and memorable score.
I think Sir Alonne might be the only boss in the game that possesses all of these qualities at once (especially the musical score).
You just made me 10x more excited for Dark Souls 3 and I was already pretty damn excited ❤️
"Why can't more bosses be like this, great music, no bullshit mechanics.."
Me, over here waiting for you to get to Dark Souls 3: :)
15:06 I love when people get cocky this game, because it humbles you
His sword turns red after he succesfuly hits you with hit poke that you couldn't dodge. just finished the video and i am glad you enjoyed him as much as me
Sirloinne literally wiped the floor with him LMAO
I actually liked the Fume Knight better. My biggest gripe with Sir Alonne are the bullshit hit boxes. There is a special ending to that fight if you kill him without getting hit. I’ve never done it.
The blue and red smelter demons do have the same attack patterns yes but red does physical and fire damage and blue does physical and magic and red hits faster but not as hard while blue hits slower but hits harder(varies based on armor, rings, points put into certain stats and so on). As for the wedges and fragments of the soul of Nadalia, you only have two reward choices but can only choose one but neither one will benefit you probably since one is a chime(miracles) and the other is a pyromancy(dark one that's area of effect) so probably best option would be to keep for your collection of boss souls or consume(believe it's 18k souls if I'm correct) but blue smelter soul can be used to get his ultra greatsword which is really nice to get.
Watching you fight Sir Alonne makes me realize he is a pain that I actually miss.🥴 He is for sure the #1 boss in DS2 for me.🔥 His daily chore before we get here must have been mopping the floor to shine, so that he can do one of his slide & attack moves.🤣
Sir Alonne being the DS2 Artorias
I couldn’t compare honestly-I killed Artorias second time round-I’m going 89 times with Alonne and yes I’m counting. I might even say Alonne is one of if not the hardest boss in the Soul series.
Each smelter wedge lets you acquire another piece of Nadalia's soul, then when you have all the pieces they combine into the complete soul of the Bride of Ash. She's the child of dark for dlc 2 like Elana for dlc 1. As for Crown of the Ivory King dlc the final boss is not as difficult as Fume Knight but is a badass with cool aesthetics and lore like Alonne. Good OST, too, but in a more intimidating way instead of a dance. A lot of people hate the last DLC because of its side-boss gauntlet area (like blue smelter demon/trio boss) but I found it to be the most beautiful and impactful of the crown adventures by a long shot.
So there's enough smelter wedges for every idol, and then their souls combine into one. Some areas with the fire traps that move, the walls can be exploded open with more wedges for you and more loot. Part of that idea was the guys carrying kegs could be spooked into going there as living tools. There's also a door that can unlock via exploded in the area with the first massive armor foe. Those harmless idols gave iron flesh buff to the enemies. That mask you got would keep you moist for fire resistance. And that Smelter Demon is proof of who that place belonged to and their habits with adding life to iron creations. Sir Alonne was a proud knight who turned on his king, taking his symbols of rulership. This was Alonne's message to what the king would forget about, absorbed in his production of iron might.
Mati: _I remember Raime._
Sir Alonne: _WAIT!?! What do you mean remember?_
He forgor, and he ain't the only one, it seems… 😐
Playing through ds2 now just finished sir allone the runback almost made me quit. Ive watched all your new stuff i had to come back tto your sir allone fight to see how u did awesome content as always mati
I could not agree more with the title, my man Mati out here spittin truths. Cant wait to watch your reaction when you go thru that fog door. *scrape* *scrape*
Shout out to the Mom, take good care of her Mati 🌹
ngl im kinda morbidly excited to see the reaction to the third DLC's most infamous boss runback.
