The Roaring Halberd is The BEST Dark Weapon in Dark Souls 2!

No lie tho! LOVE this song! Yaz is so great, man. Homie is the REASON I love DS2 so much now

[@taylorjamesmovies]

I remember when this album came out. @yaz has the best taste in music

[@r0n264]

I thought my spotify was suddenly playing holy shit lmao

[@TheRagMan8758]

@@r0n264 bro I had to check if it was playing 😂 I got a lot of dgd and secret band for my shop playlist 😂

[@GMECRTL]

I don’t care what anyone says, Dark Souls 2 is my favourite in the series by a mile. The fashion, the weapon variety, the DLCs, it’s just excellent.

[@86fifty]

11:55 - Fun fact, you can actually get the Forgotten Key after beating just one Giant! If you quit and reload the game after beating just one of em, you'll get the key when you reappear! Really helpful if you're underpowered and having trouble taking out both.

[@magusesper616]

I always have the invader present when I try to do that and can't quit out. Ya can have 4 giants if you summon the 2 npc's in area.

[@86fifty]

@@magusesper616 in my experience, the Woodland Child invader (one and two) doesn't show up until you get close to the second bonfire, like, past the second cave-bug. Unless you mean Forlorn? Huh, I guess Forlorn IS always there the first time you walk in, I didn't keep track that close. I've never seen 4 giants happen! :O

[@magusesper616]

Yeah I usually hit that second bonfire then go down to the giants. Mostly in the hopes of the woodlandchild falling off. I like playing the game differently I’ll start hitting the giants first see if I can pull off the beat one quit out. Happy ds2 playing summon me for fume knight if ya see me.

[@hellxapo5740]

That's 🔥 bro, great tip!!

[@PTHpoleon]

My man never misses with the intro songs, weapons, quality. The vibes are effervescent

[@safeforworkgaming6211]

Halberds are my favorite weapon class in the Dark Souls series. Had great fun when I did my halberd run on my own.

[@ChillMcPenguin]

Havent had a chance to say this but damn, these vids made me go back to playing DS2. Wound up using the Crypt Blacksword and that was someone of the most fun I've had. The vid helped too

[@smokepl9032]

Amazing choice of the intro song, as usual

[@ahhnope1533]

Would love to see you do a livestream for one of these

[@MFD00MTR33]

0:02 looks like your spin to win sent Sir Alonne flying. 😂 His jump back matched up perfectly with it.

[@dalibormohelnik4390]

I love this channel, I found you like 2 weeks before and been basically binge watching you since, I love that someone can still enjoy and appreciate DS2, it was my first souls and it brings a lot of memories watching you glide through it like butter. Sending love and support from Czechia, love you man.

[@Yazzmania]

aye much love brother i appreciate it ♥ I'm glad too that there are other people like you who enjoy ds2! we need to unite :)

[@ErosXCaos]

You know which crazy, badas_s weapon rose up my fav’s list more than any other, to occupy a top spot? The Gyrm Great Hammer. One thing that stands out is that it’s 2H LIGHT attack has a PANCAKE! I can’t think of another weapon like that. The 2H light moveset is unique. Do I even need to mention how insane the damage is? Bosses like the Throne Duo melt. Strike damage, baybee! Fashion-wise, it’s S-tier: it’s an Anvil on a stick. 😎 Love it or hate it, but how can you hate that? It’s a negative, but it actually amuses me that you need like 25 END just to be able to do the second attack of the 2H Heavy. Is there another weapon that gates it’s 2H Heavy combo by needing huge END? That’s just cool, to me. It’s not ridiculously heavy. 20.0 units. And with a DEX req of FOUR, you could min/max with the lowest DEX starting class, Cleric, which has 5. It looks short, but doesn’t play short. More like Greatsword range, except your 2H light Pancake leaps a few feet. Surprise! It’s just fun. It’s so powerful. It looks gooooood.

[@asdergold1]

It goes well with Full Havel's. Even has chains like the shield.

[@Videodrome1991]

Can't wait for the Mastodon Halberd, weapons that get lost in the mid-game are almost always the fun ones.

[@diaznuts5947]

My first play through was with the mastodon halberd such a special weapon for me

[@dima_keller]

1:00 she is. Seems like you mastered this game's character creation too 😅

[@hoanganhvuphan1553]

Came here to be OP with the rapier and stay for the commentary keep it up man

[@ashtondarch1601]

That halberd was absolutely roaring its way to the S tier it's very strong

[@jordanmccarthy1633]

This was my main weapon on my first run of DS2 - cool to see it finally getting the spotlight. Great thumbnail too.

[@bafolocr]

Hey brutha, your videos inspired me and my friend to do a souls series of making perfect builds, finished ds2 with a build inspired by your crypt greatsword video + the hex one, absolutely busted, thank you so much Haven’t edited it yet but it sure was fun🙏

[@asdergold1]

Try Twinblade + offhand Grand Lance. With the Stone Ring if you are feeling particularly sadistic. It is unfair once you learn how to get around parries. The only counter is literally Full Havel's and Ring of Giants +2. To elaborate, the base Twinblade has the best stamina consumption among them, and you don't need the extra damage.

[@Yazzmania]

OH SHIT, I hope to see it bro! sounds like something fun to watch :) best of luck with the editing ♥

[@CelticGuardian_]

honestly, as cool as the builds are the choice of music.. the intro always gets me into the vid love it Yaz x

[@Yazzmania]

glad you like em :) ♥

[@bowloffriedcheese1493]

Yaz inspired me to retry ds2 after giving up, just beat it today with his vid in the background 🙏

[@vargagergo5547]

Lost sinner’s ultra greatsword is doing real damage with a lightning infusion and has a fun moveset too bro. I tried it out like last week and it was awesome!

[@pabloparedes2357]

I agree. My last playtrought I destroyed with Lost Sinner's UGS

[@rixzen1]

Yo man I started ds2 sotfs again because of your vids. Thanks for all the vids youve been uploading. Love em!

[@Yazzmania]

I'm glad to hear that! I hope you find joy playing it once again :)

[@BergerKing1337]

new video again! so fun to watch bro as always :D

[@Not1Hunter]

Your videos are so smooth and cool to watch, could you do a video using the warped sword?

[@kirkgregor5613]

One of my favorites of ds2's weapon selection

[@myprogram3067]

Yesss been waiting for this one!! Used to be one of my favourite builds back in 2018

[@disma2032]

Best way to enjoy a break before bedtime🥳

[@marioburgos712]

I never get used to the sweet spot mechanic, but dang do I love the damage halberds can inflict! Right up there with the Crypt Blacksword too... Yeah I love dark builds a little too much 🖤

[@sociallyawkwardweeabootras1450]

HELL YEAH, NEW YAZMANIA VID

Wow nice use of resonant weapon I had no idea it increased your damage so much more significantly

it’s finally here 🥹

[@Askaria-Askanurn]

I was thinking of trying this weapon myself yesterday and today I noticed your video... instantly sold on this amazing Halberd :p As usual, great work man! :]

[@katf9513]

The shrine of amana run was neat to see. I always cleared it with a poison infused bow, or incredible patience. The final fogwall is a pain, especially in the original.

[@cout3618]

Hell yeah, new video again! I don't know if you have tried this or not, but I would like to see you doing a knight build with a sword and shield! I recommend the Puzzling Stone Sword and Sanctum Shield

[@caseyking8394]

thumbnail game has really levelled up recently. It's been awesome to see your growth.

[@Yazzmania]

I'm glad you think so that means a lot, thank you ♥

[@thebreadman1144]

A livestream is an actually really good idea, you should do challenge runs, or these weapon runs, I would literaly tune in while studying and stuff. You should also find out the most damage you can do

[@diaznuts5947]

I love yazz videos on weekends, it’s really magical. I also think people don’t give enough credit with all the dope ass looking characters he always makes, making an attractive character in ds2 is already a challenge 😂

[@Yazzmania]

Lool I appreciate it fam! and I be trying my best to make em look alright so im glad you noticed 😂

[@BlueSpartan107]

Been constantly watching your stuff so I finally got around to subscribing. A potential future build I could see you doing is power stancing the Black Knight Ultra Greatsword with the Greatsword of the Forlorn aka the "Asta" build (I refer to it as such since I'm running this setup for my gaming channel as a Part 2 to another video I did). I'm probably running the most basic way of using it so if you wanna try that combo I'm sure we'll see the full potential of that setup.

[@Yazzmania]

hell yeah I appreciate it! Oh damn an Asta build sounds fun asf! Speaking of which I needa catch up on Black Clover lmao, been a minute But thanks for the idea, I'll note it down! :)

[@chrismitchell7389]

I have a date tonight, bro" * proceds to jump to the void * Edit2: mint 21:19 Look at that destruction!! Amazing! Edit3: I miss the "Get Ready for The Next Battle" in the Iron King battle and the "Where are you going? bingo?" XD Edit4: I have to add a new edit because.. that Halberd is destruction! Amazing run and I have to test it! Nice job, man!

another great video yaz, killing it as always! roaring halbred gives me old memories of one of my first playthroughs in ds2 so thanks for finally using it also still waiting for the broken swords build! they may be called broken but they will be broken only if you break them, also considering YOU will be using them, im guaranteed you will find a way to break broken swords without actually breaking them, but by breaking this broken game by using these broken swords!

[@Yazzmania]

I appreciate it man! ♥ LMAO I'll get to it eventually, and it's either gonna go really good or really bad, we'll have to see !

[@rayzorduality2396]

Makes a damn good point about ol' Maughlin, he starts out with close to nothing, you the player, are the only one who frequents his shop for better equipment. He comes across like he's so grateful for your purchases, and just as soon as he accumulates great wealth from YOUR souls that YOU see fit to spend on his shop, our so-called friend, our ally of armored goods, our purveyor of weaponry mot yet found, becomes so arrogant, so haughty in his tone, and condescending to YOU, the undead of this world. And so, to keep him from going down this path, it would be nothing more than a mercy to cut him down, lest he becomes consumed with his own exaggerated sense of self, while YOU, the player struggle, battle, die, and persevere to find a cure to the curse that haunts is all... (Also, extra souls, so...)
