SJPlays - Dark Souls 2 SoTF Blue Smelter Demon (NG+3) (CoC)

[ENGLISH] [Original Video 1080p60]
VERY DIFFICULT - NG+3 and Company of Champion Covenant active
44 tries, 39 Human Effigies wasted, 30 medium Lifegems wasted, couple Repair Powder wasted
This "Blue" Smelter Demon isn't even a required boss...
If I include the road from bonfire to boss, this is definitely the hardest boss
even if you used "shortcut" (not much of a shurtcut I must say) on double hard mode
The real pain to enter the fog door is the dark priests that cast energy drain and the greatbow shooter. The iron warriors you can wait until they spew fire and then dash from the left side. So eitherway, you MUST kite those dark priests one by one (easy kite, others won't follow)
Having said that, it is a huge effort (time waster?) just to attempt the boss, I gotta admit, on those my 44 tries, I died like almost 10 times on the road
NOTE: add little effort to clear JUST the priests, hit em with arrow or spells, they'll come to you themselves, and gank em in the corner
A single critical will definitely 100% me, heck even normal damage could 100% me, I was lucky TWICE in this video
Possible using Great Club but requires alot more stamina management, which I couldn't bear to do for this boss lol

I personally would not recommend attempting this boss on NG+ while having CoC on, because this attempt yields nothing but 100% for the challenge only (not even worth the souls)
