It can't be done

It can't be done.
I've been fighting him non-stop for the past three hours.
I was stomping every boss and area before this.
I'm out of consumables.
The passive fire burn from being near him is enough to kill me.
I memorized his entire moveset.
I've died like 50 times now.
I can't do it.

that boss is not hard you fucking idiot. this is smelter demon right. just do something different

You know there is a blue one right?

Hint:
If you take a right from the bridge leading up to him and jump across the gap, you'll find a small structure that, at the top, has a Pharos contraption that spews water when activated. Rolling around in this water will increase your Fire resistance. Also, if you rescued the statue lady she sells Fire resistance items
Smelter is optional

just come back later

Hit it until it dies

All I have is a +6 mace
I do like 200 damage to it

This is the only boss that gave me trouble in ds2
Had to summon a friend after wasting an afternoon trying to kill him

Every boss in Dark Souls 2 can be beaten with the same strategy. Turtle up with maxed heavy armor and a shield. Lock on and circle around it with your shield up. When the boss misses, counterattack, if it hits you, your shield will block most of the damage. This is every fucking boss in the game. Dark Souls 2 sucks.
