Twitch.TV Speedrunner 'Distortion2' has managed to complete Dark Souls 2 in a whopping 20 minutes.
The Smelter Demon is a bombastic boss design that bolsters Dark Souls 2's roster with an experience that updates an older fight's form to function.
Man, I dunno about that. In fact, most boss fights in Dark Souls 2 were forgettable.
Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.
DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.
The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.
I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.
And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.
I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

Could you do this on consoles? glitch through walls etc, i'm not asking because I want to do it
That is just foul
Glitches tend to happen. You don't really get enjoyment out of doing this besides trying it just for the sake of trying. If you enjoy the game you wont use this glitch to beat it with your regular play through.
Lame, glitches and shit, plus you haven't beaten DS2 until you have killed Vendrick, the Dragon, and Dark Lurker imo.
Now lets see it done without the glitches.
