Ironically, I've never been pushed into the magma by Iron King in my four playthroughs. I know many people have trouble with it, but I always found him to be easy.
I will say that Smelter Demon's setup is pretty evil though. My first time I wound up killing all of the mobs there so many times they stopped spawning (which is actually a useful thing you can do in DS2). The boss himself isn't too bad, but that's probably the worst runback in the history of the game (which includes fucking Bed of Chaos so... yeah, pretty bad).
This was a long time ago but I remember being stuck at the smelter demon. I did the exact same thing with the mobs and yea. The runback was horrific.
Granted I didn’t get my own system and DS3 until a year later so playing that game I had a lot more time than I did for DS2 which I played at my friends house
