Wanna be a Samurai Boss in Dark Souls 2? Use this Weapon

[@Mighty_Mr_B]

Pretty sure the washing pole is more Sephiroth. The sword of Sir Alonne appears to be what is called a nagamaki, which is basically half sword half polearm.

[@zzodysseuszz]

Nagamaki was the only sword that was primarily used by the samurai when not using bows. This is because of its sufficient length. It is my favourite Japanese weapon of history

[@lilcoti3829]

i always thought it was inspired by the nodachi, but you’re right the length of the handle really lends itself more to a polearm. almost naginata-esque.

[@lilriceball-]

Bugsy never fails to lighten up the mood

[@trafficosrs]

Man i appreciate all the setups you do for these alot more interesting than just dropping yourself the weapon or something

[@xenodeity3990]

I absolutely have been binge watching your videos and they made me actually purchase the game on PC for the first time and I have had a blast. Keep up your great work!

[@mikecharecky2818]

Indestructible is my favorite disturbed album. Ds2 is my favorite dark souls game. The bewitched allone sword is my favorite katana in the game. Guess all this must mean that yaz is my favorite channel 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Yazzmania]

Man of culture! Glad some of my viewers know enjoy Disturbed and Dark Souls 2 :)

[@anialternative]

Love how you consistently bump out videos recently, it's so much fun seeing you break this game with your builds and your chill vibe makes it really easy to listen. I'd love to see you do some streams. Keep it up man!

[@TheRealDaveMatthews]

Your constant stream of DS2 content is the best! Keep up the great work!

[@abdelkarimashtar6636]

Can you please do a dual bone fist build? It's so op also your videos are amazing

[@franciscojaviertovarvillar4609]

MAN i ve started to play ds2 for the first time and i fell in love with Sir Alonne, it was love at first sight, and i have been looking for a build with his sword for like a week tysm my man

[@Yazzmania]

Favorite Katana in DS2? Lemme know boys :)

[@Vash141]

Blacksteel 😩

[@SlaveKn_ghtGael]

Definitely bewitched alonne sword. That weapon art is sick. Sad how long it takes to get though

[@ludoferre]

Dragon tooth

[@smokepl9032]

Probably Darkdrift, pain in the ass to get, but I remember having fun with it in pvp

[@CarlosHumbetoReturs]

one Blacksteel katana or two washing pole in dual wielding

[@Dom_1722]

I love the fact that even if your knowledge of the game is very deep you always keep an almost casual commentary, contrary to other dark souls youtubers. Great job!

[@isaacboxtart]

This might seem a bit strange, but I've been watching your videos since the EARLY early days, and as amazing as it's been seeing you as a DS2-centric creator grow to this point, one small thing that I miss from the older videos is the clicky-clack of your controller being picked up by your mic. It almost added to the comedic value of the videos. Keep up the amazing work man, you're set to grow into a proper Souls youtuber and I'm here for it!!!!

[@Yazzmania]

i appreciate it first of all! but yeah I got a new mic and it kinda suppresses the controller clicks, i'll try to configurate it so you can hear it better in the future!

[@isaacboxtart]

@Yazzmania hell yeah dude you're the best

[@srkaio2.092]

Dang katanas was one of my favorite weapons in DS2, along with Great Curved Swords. Keep up with the content bro loving it. And still waiting for that Butcher Build with Butcher Knife. Success from Brazil

[@Kajj94]

just found your channel the other day and watched a few videos, have to say im loving them so far, great entertainment and good laughs. Look forward to seeing more!

[@vonolemaxle3040]

My guy, thanks for bringing nostalgia. This is exactly my first build on my first playthrough. My favorite katanas are the shorter ones, uchi and the blacksteel. Feels way more balance than the OP boss katanas. Regardless, thanks for the feels, my guy. I feel like the day I replay DS2 is coming. I should really finish my backlogs.

[@eerdag96]

Yaz the reason you sometimes do immense damage with alonnes sword is because it does more damage the closer you hit the enemy with it. Nice video btw

[@heavy_hate5346]

My Favoritre weapon in ds2 was Murakumo, unlike other games in series you can actually feel the weight of the sword, how powerful it really is, staggering enemies breaking their balance.

[@pavlorky]

Probably the most fun boss weapon in ds2, the self buff is incredible.

[@v1li]

katana builds has always been my favorite, great stuff once again yaz. keep it up!

[@LonesomeNalvag]

holy moly washing pole always been this big? really like your videos , keep it up ! Also, could you try the Puzzling Stone Sword?

[@abelkorpas6853]

Dayum brah you're making content crazy fast and i love it.

[@DensetsuNoTeam]

i lose it every time this dude screams ''SAMURAI FIGHTO'' 🤣🤣🤣

[@sau1393]

For the Alonne Sword you want to hit the enemies with the upper half of your blade so it can do more damage. That's why sometimes you see it does 500 damage and sometimes it does 1k. Really cool video tho looking forward to more builds :D

[@stevenwilliams5777]

It amazes me that you do all these build videos and weapon videos with like 8 points in health I’m just sitting here like how?? Very impressive keep at it bro ❤

[@skullkidd0970]

27:16 where is everybody going, bingo?

[@Yazzmania]

😂

[@xXS4mCr091Xx]

We need a soundtrack list bro. That whole video was so chill I watched it 2time in a row xD

[@kabsbfkk84028]

This is one of the most underrated channels

[@b1gstark]

We all love when yaz uploads this often

[@KaraEssek16]

Dude your content is amazing i love it i can wathc these for all day make video fast as posibble

[@Calvodenacimiento-x4x]

Yes, I arrived late but for Mr. Skeleton (2:48) I recommend using the seductive skulls to ward off his allies

[@SicopawEfeyester]

Have you ever used the grand lance? It's an absolute menace with the old Leo ring, just plows through everything and does some good poise damage to boot

[@PierreLucSex]

I love powerstance these beasts

[@markolesnik3133]

Watched ur 7 months old guts greatsword build a while ago, i love ur commentary and editing progress bro. Keep imroving Yaz

[@TheRealCptObvious1]

I followed your lightning miracle build video and it’s made the game so much fun to play again on ng+3

[@Iranofideaswhilewritingthis334]

Holy cow, that katana is FAST, and this is without taking into account the x2 speed that my man Yaz runs the game at

[@PierreLucSex]

1,5x if I'm correct

[@miscJAMA]

I would say that I never liked Dark Souls 2 because I didn’t like how scuffed the movement and attacks were, but ever since I started seen your videos, I decided to give it a try again. Now I have completed the entire game by following your build videos, it was hard but I enjoyed playing it. It also didn’t help that I was on the champion’s covenant thinking it would give me more souls xd, but at least I’ve learned how to almost No hit all the bosses.

[@greenscreenfx3117]

Just what I need after a long day! W content

[@speedbryc]

yo man, really enjoy your videos just got into ds2 a couple weeks ago and your videos are making me like it even more

[@scottydo0081]

Always love the editing style with your commentary. It’s perfect tbh

[@toxicdragon64]

Ayy delighted to be back to another video ❤❤

[@DarkTheHunterTheReal]

Smtg interesting would be a fume knight set, wich would involve power stancing his two swords or smtg like this. Otherwise I love seeing notifications of your videos, always bring a smile on me 😁

[@Klixvy]

DAYUM BOI a day after your last vid bro you are grinding my boi, but your the best ds2 KZbinr and one of my fav anyways but good luck wit everything

[@rajanbhankhodia6899]

What a surprise 2 videos in a week thanks

[@Whyiamleslie]

I need “O my lord” 24-hours version

[@00spiderwolfman]

I gotta be honest I really really really want to love this game I see yaz play and have so much fun. However I have run into more f-u situations in this game than any other souls like and on top of that and my trying and recently succeeding in overcoming my myriad issues with this game on an almost core level to have a great deal of fun and accept this game for what it is. Unfortunately the game had one final f-u in the form of an endless credits screen I can’t get past now that ive beaten the game I can’t even get the achievement b’cuz they can’t even be bothered to make a decent credits roll that works! honestly I just want to say thanks if you read this, and thank you Yaz for really being the driving force behind giving this game a chance!:) I just wish that even the credits didn’t have to leave a bad taste in my mouth. :(

[@WitcherBioSouls949]

Two videos in two days 🙇🏻🙇🏻 all hail yazmania and a banger disturbed song to start off the video 🔥🔥

I’ve never been able to get into ds2 but I enjoy your content

[@zielony7931]

hey man, been binge watching your videos, great work! Keep it up! Maybe a whip only run in the future?

[@MegaMiquelon]

Washing pole is actually a weapon wielded by Kojiro Sasaki, the enemy of Musashi Miyamoto, a real historical samurai. There's quite a lot of games and movies about those two. And there's a fictional novel based on them too. Now I'm just not sure if the Washing pole sword historical or is based on that novel

[@belialhimself2677]

your videos are so fun man, keep it up!!

[@gremmy7440]

[@Sido_Gyo]

Hi man, I need you to explain how to beat the bosses in ds2 We hope you are in the best condition

[@scensionkonrado9253]

21:00 the damage from the self buff is 40% so at that time stamp you would have 708 AR with the buff

[@elliesteele2107]

You should do a Moonlight Greatsword build, I feel like that'd be a fun one, especially with the beam attack it has

[@matthewphillips1890]

He already did

[@sraberxgaming6946]

[@zodiacpotato7389]

And he opens the video with disturbed... what a chad.

[@ClonserHalphalive]

My first time figjting Alonne.... It was a katana duel. It was a ling duel that required I focus on attacking while he recovered, else I get cut to a billion ribbons.

[@GucciBlanket]

Dude I would love to see some dark souls 1 vids like this from you

[@Ranni854]

Dude u did it, oh my god, you can't understand how much i appreciate it man, homie, you managed to upload two times in a row in 2 days, you did my favorite build of all time, wich i asked you in the smelter hammer video i think or the chaos katanas idk, i can now ufficially call you: the true homie, you have my respect bud, i hope you red this comment and understand how much i appreciate you. For the next build, you should use the ice rapier, it's as fun as the normal one, 10x stronger and it has a special attack that obliterates everyone, it is hard to get tho and it requires to get to the castle, nothing that the rotten can't farm!

[@stevenlazaro9205]

Bro, I discovered your channel a few days ago, and I've been fascinated with your content, it's amazing what you can do in this game, just when I thought I'd seen everything in this game, you get a crazy build like this. Although, I have a doubt and it is regarding the use of the lion's ring, I thought that it was only useful with thrust weapons such as spears or rapiers. Could you explain to me how it works?

[@Yazzmania]

thanks man! yeah the old leo ring only works with thrust attacks, so it'll increase the damage of those thrust attacks when you counter hit an enemy, counter attacks are when you hit the enemy while they are in the middle of attacking
