Someone PLEASE help me kill Fume Knight

[Nurvol]

No new game or anything, tried about 20 times and simply cannot kill the ♥♥♥♥

No one can help you untill you've mentioned your soul memory, as soul memory is used for co op.

Cheese him with arrows. Roll away from all his attacks and shoot an arrow when it's his recovery time. Dragonrider bow works wonderfully.

Sorry, SM is 3.8m, also, I tried magic and stuff like that, nope, I have reallocated all my points to use 99 str with a smelter hammer

Well, the dragonrider bow scales well with strenght and does reasonable damage per arrow. If you try to keep the distance between you and him it turns out he's really slow. I've done it with magic as well; great heavy soul arrows did the job. Just had to be patient.

Gave up trying with pure melee: two mistakes in a row and I was dead.

It could be that you don't know about the combat system. So i give you a short tutorial for the fume knight:

- adaptability 24 (with that you get around 99 agility which equals 0,4 sec of invulnerability while dogding instead of only 0,1 sec with start value) -> most important point !
- vigor 50, endurance 20+, vitality 20-40
- strength, dex for weapon requirment (20-30+)
- be naked, wear only your weapon, you dont wanna get hit
- wear any fast meelee weapon, the time between his attacks is short

Combat:
- dodge his 3-5 hit series and stay always near him
- dodge always to his side with his big sword and hit him one time , if you dodge to the short sword side he will hit you extreme fast with it when you try to attack him from this side
- if he buff his sword also dodge and stay near him

Thats the usual tactic for almost every boss in Dark Souls 2 especially fast bosses like the fume knight because of their big weapons and long attack animations you need adapt. on 24 otherwise you get hit while dodging.

Ok, thanks heaps, I'll keep the adaptablility thing in mind, I've decided to come back to him before I send my PC through a wall ;)

let me know when u come online I am in the same sm range. I love fighting the fume knight even though I get mauled some times. Plz do not summon any npc as I have seen in most of my host world as it makes the fight incredible difficult
