[@fermyonds]

Size isn't everything. Dagger gang rise up

[@HEXoslav]

probably my favorite weapon in the game

[@AchilloTheStalker]

Yoooo it's the other Abyss watcher 🔥💯

[@hellxapo5740]

It's funny because while it lacks size it packs a terrific critical hit punch

[@wardhanasamba678]

"Thats what she said"😂

[@slameno-JR]

"It's all about technique"

[@SlaveKn_ghtGael]

If you're wondering, I think the desert sorceress' backstab attack is an unused attack you can find in the game files. I'm sure you could easily find a video showing it, if you're really that down bad

[@onabs7107]

No, it was removed not unused

[@SlaveKn_ghtGael]

@onabs7107 oh yeah, that's what I meant, I just kinda said it in a weird way

[@DGuy32]

Fun fact: the Pursuers, Lion Warriors, and Heide Knights (the ones in white armor) make the same breathing sounds as Artorias.

[@dragonMaster24921]

Makes sense you see a lot of each in areas infested in dark. And pursuers are just pure dark in their armor

[@ashdust9832]

yoooo the UK build actually goes crazy i didn't think daggers would be that strong

[@kafon6368]

UK build 😭😭😭

[@strawhattexter3223]

its ironic how yaz went from saying "you can have melentia if ur desperate" to calling her a sweet heart lmao

[@synops11]

How downright simps for her now😂

[@SlaveKn_ghtGael]

Get your "Before 30 seconds" pass here: Also, new yazmania vid, let's go

[@pouldudkin1958]

3:39 new level xD

[@souldude6344]

that part actually left me confused

[@pockystyx4087]

dual daggers is always a fun build. it takes some getting used to the range; but with the right set up, you can get some spicy damage. also I just loved the poison mytha daggers lol

[@MonoChromium]

I got one for you, Yaz. I learned this on my most recent run. In the room right before Bugsy, where you free up the pyromancer with the Fragrant Branch of Yore, there's a flammable barrel. If you blow up the barrel (I rolled into it and it still exploded, lol), the guys up top attack you early, so you don't have to run around in circles while you wait for the gate to open.

[@adibeniacz3598]

I discower that to some time ago 👍😃

[@AtreyusNinja]

A new video alrdy????????? ❤❤❤

[@zzodysseuszz]

Ikr

[@slameno-JR]

Pog

[@starwalker7409]

if you are gonna use a dagger again, i suggest "mytha bent blade" it has the same counter damage of a regular dagger, just slightly lower base base and lower durability, but i applies poison and it is the only weapon in the entire game that applies toxic, it doesn't show in any menu but this weapon can inflict toxic too, unfortunately, items that boost poison build-up don't boost the toxic build-up

[@user-rp8rl6bm8k]

He used Mytha's in his poison build video.

[@starwalker7409]

@@user-rp8rl6bm8k o yeah, i completely forgot about that

[@rolc4]

the lone sigma

[@AtreyusNinja]

man, i didn't expect to see that much damage, the damage is insane.... i love dark souls 2, is so f good.

[@treestan7532]

3:20 YO Buggsy giving us a show LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@Yazzmania]

Bahaha hell yeah, I had to pay him tho 😡

[@hellxapo5740]

1:19 My guy this lighting mod is absolutely amazing

[@urbanelstra3004]

I'm pretty sure the dagger had by far the best dps in the game before it got nerfed WAY back

[@dragonMaster24921]

THIS IS NERFED?!

[@michaualtington]

i think the person that mentioned the backstab animation was probably talking about the unused grab animation, you can search it up

[@Abobski]

Yoooo daggers vids are huge W. Happy to see new vid G

[@marco36548]

Been watching your videos man. They’re amazing and I keep watching more. Especially you’re doing dark souls two content man!.

[@christiangray7826]

Let’s gooooo I been waiting for the dagger vid

[@sageofthepsychopaths341]

Sheeeesh DS2 gameplay AND Tekken references, gotta be my favourite channel ngl

23:00 nice sir alonne theme remix there homie i knew i know this you cooking

[@pouldudkin1958]

Oh ea, new Yazmania video! Happy to see

[@Intels_]

If you used the black flamestone dagger it would just shred anything.

[@NDelta24]

bro make everything look OP . fr 🔥🔥🔥

[@pedrossiscrimson294]

Yeah, another great one. I would be curious to see how you would spin the alternative death of the executioner's chariot where it fell like an ass in the hole.

[@davidbarajas7270]

Yooooo hell yeah I've always wanted to try daggers I cant wait to see yaz cook

[@BebehCookieIcecream]

You the homie bro always a good time

[@HEXoslav]

it's wild that the dagger has probably the highest dps in the game

[@zzodysseuszz]

No. There’s quite a few contesters for that title

[@macdaddytv2682]

Damn I was hyped for the daggers. Can’t wait to watch it while dinner later

[@BlazeOfGlory2003]

AYYYYYY, BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS LESSGOOOOOOOOOO

[@Yazzmania]

HELL YEAH HAHA ♥

[@Xbigxhatxloganx]

I literally did this the other day and it’s fire. Especially in PvP.

[@christiangray7826]

I love your videos so much because when I was a kid, I’d do playthroughs limiting myself to one weapon for the entire game… you make these same runs EASY and it’s so much fun to watch everything come together to melt the bosses in seconds.

[@Yazzmania]

hahah man that means a lot for real, I appreciate it ♥ I used to limit myself as well but trying out new things was more fun than I thought :)

[@AlejandroGomez-wc2fd]

Appreciate the stream

[@SaganTheKhajiit]

If I recall correctly, there's some funky interactions with the counter damage and that makes daggers so strong.

[@Ghorda9]

daggers have 150 counter and a hidden x7 or x8 modifier for riposte

[@SaganTheKhajiit]

@@Ghorda9 Kind of understandable why future games went back to the whole "only pokey sticks can deal counter damage" thing.

[@Ghorda9]

@@SaganTheKhajiit ds3 all thrust attacks get counter damage and daggers roll attack gets counter damage as well, the numbers are just lower

[@plutokaos1690]

Another beautiful video by the GOAT Yaz!

[@Yazzmania]

another beautiful comment from the legend plutokaos himself ♥

[@meugoel2990]

Bro getting freakier by the Minute 2:33

[@mariorodriguez-ws4xs]

Bro needs a mod that ties both his arms begin his back, and I swear he will still be the boss

[@mariorodriguez-ws4xs]

The dagger is the reason I never used a boss weapon in any dark souls. I started with two and got the dagger after the noob doors. Had the class with no weapons to show my friend it’s easy. Game took me 8 months to beat 227 hours. Cuz of you I never listen to people on what weapons to pick. I’ll pay with what I want and if I’m good shit will be easy

[@Yazzmania]

LMAO goated comment 😂

[@Yazzmania]

hell yeah bro that's the spirit, just use what you enjoy and I'm sure you can make it strong while also having a blast of a playthrough with it 🔥

[@Yapyapownz]

[@dmitryhookins4654]

Thx for the content man! I watched all of your videos! Big respect for the fashion souls and local mems! Swanton bomb baby!!!! Gogo Cristiano! Have a nice one bro

[@NunyaBisnis1993]

I'd love to see how broken Yaz could make a powerstanced double royal dirk run.

[@nasrushak1467]

Thanks for a great run! If you want something different I was thinking a build around stone ring to see if you can stun lock bosses :)

[@user-wo9qr7li6f]

my man did it again, such generosity to share content in these days, u almost became Ezio Auditore

[@zartius]

Thanks for your videos dude kept me playing ds2 :) I wish you make a dedicated video with weapons that are viable and high dps/op for bosses for NG+.

[@skeletondiff]

yo love the sb intro bro

[@Booqueefius_LemonJello_Jones]

Firstly love the new video and also have we already gotten a Morningstar run and if not could it be on the next poll?

[@minato8889]

Sunday morning and new Yaz video 😍

[@FakeWeeb]

Bro your videos make dark souls 2 look fun and easy. I get my ass beat every time lmaoo. Tried the Ice Rapier from your vid and had a lot more fun. Guess it's time to try a dagger build!

[@BKXA]

Adore your videos! Much love from Brazil 💕💕

[@Yazzmania]

aye I appreciate it ♥ Love you and Brazil :)

[@jlightning6798]

yo i got back playing ds2 just because of your videos

[@86fifty]

Oooh, I haven't seen an Item Rando run for DS2, that'll be interesting! Made me grin like a mad lad to hear how Yaz was so surprised by the damage he just says "Yeah, that's fair" after melting a boss LOL

[@Yazzmania]

haha you're in for a surprise 😉

[@parsa2007]

yo keep up the good work

[@Danny.TheDog]

A challenge I would like to see you do is beat the game on NG+. The weapon could be anything, perhaps a remake of the greatsword?

[@zzodysseuszz]

Bro he does that all the time.

[@Danny.TheDog]

@@zzodysseuszz he only repeats bosses in NG+. Never made a run entirely in NG+

[@sparda_lord5817]

Im realy glad to find a darks souls 2 youtuber such as you, thanks alot for your videos! i know i cant insist on videos ideas, but how about bandits daggers? Find idea of playing around this weapon quite intreting to my taste Anyway, go do your things gonna love this despite everything

[@Yazzmania]

I'll definitely consider the bandits dagger! I haven't done enough daggers on the channel so most likely in the future :) Thanks for the suggestion ! & I appreciate it greatly homie ♥

[@krabmoneygun]

its crazy the dmg even with brightbug and rtsr

[@ethanpispas4098]

Yep, the dagger is VERY powerful and it was even more powerful but it was nerfed. As it stands the 3 highest DPS weapons in the game are: 1) Powerstanced UNINFUSED Chaos Blades. The highest theoretical DPS, but they consume a lot of stamina. 2) Infused Ice Rapier. The second in terms of DPS if you pair it with all 4 damage rings (clutch+RoB+Flynn's+Leo) and much higher damage per stamina bar. 3) Uninfused Dagger. The 3rd in terms of DPS, but the best in terms of damage per stamina bar.

[@NOMZTX]

Yo yaz, but of a weird request, don’t know when u will get onto it but I did a all shield run and found that havels shield and the duel shields that the knight guys in the crypt use did decent damage and I think you’ll love it

[@zoatov5558]

Crazy damage

[@MrDanno]

GOD DAAMN the daggers are crazy! It's funny how good they are, and how they're even better if you don't power stance them. Logic defying weapons ong ong

[@Yazzmania]

lmaooo it's such a breeze with daggers in ds2 :D & yeah literally one of them, which you can start off with, is enough to demolish every boss haha

@@Yazzmania since you the goat am gonna do it and post a vid or a pic about it in the server once am done

[@Chiefshielda]

Amazing video, as always! Since you dislike the range of the dagger so much, I challenge you to complete Dark Souls 2 with Shields only! As a certified Shield Wielder in all of the souls games, I can assure you that we make do with ranges shorter than the Caestus users out there. (The "Disc Chime" technically counts as a shield since it uses the shield moveset but it can also cast miracles, whether or not you decide to use it is up for you to choose. PS, the shield jump-attack is the strongest attack we have, be sure to make good use of it. :D )

[@movinaround]

Wow! The Dagger is really busted! But I'm not surprised, though. I'm starting to realize that starting class weapons aren't as bad as people think - especially small and fast ones, like the Hand Axe in DS1 (this weapon hits fast and consumes little stamina and can be buffed, making it a perfect boss-killer). That gives me an idea for your next poll: Starting class only runs in DS2. GamersWeekend did this in DS1 (and is starting to do it in DS2). You can choose 4 starting classes for us to choose from. then. you can challenge yourself the same way GamersWeekend did: he was only allowed to use the starting armor, weapons and spells. to make things easier, he allowed for rings and equipment upgrades and consumables. he bought multiple copies of the starting spells so that he can be able to actually kill enemies, but no other spells. the only problem is the Deprived class: he starts with nothing - not even a club like in DS1. it'll be challenging to fight bare-fisted, with no armor and no Vanquisher's Seal.

[@towelboy9388]

Isn't the Vanquisher's Seal a ring? Albeit one acquired through a covenant

[@movinaround]

@@towelboy9388 Oh, it is, isn't it? My bad. Well, anyway, I was thinking that Yaz, if he did a Deprived-only run, can skip the Vanquisher's Seal (since he's done it already). This challenge will be very hard, but he can still use other damage boosting rings, like Flynn's Ring and the RTSR......ring. But if he chooses to skip the Deprived class, I wouldn't be surprised.

[@sandrolarocca3113]
