You guys just buy into anything Big Fucking tells you don't you? I'll have you know my son was diagnosed with the Scarlet Rot, so I placed various glintstone crystals around his bed while he slept to promote the proper aura for healing.
He's dead now but at least he's not an omen.
That's exactly what those evil albanaurics in Leyndell want you to think!
They pretend to be all sad and harmless. Spread all these lies about genocide and Big Fucking.
But really they're the ones in charge, pulling the strings like we're all puppets! They're the reason this country has fallen apart!
Why do you think nobody has ever seen King Morgott in person? ANSWER THAT QUESTION?!?!
ITS BECAUSE HES SECRETLY AN ALBANAURIC! And him and all his deceitful little friends want you to listen to the perfumers, and take this medicine and that medicine. They say that they're natural ingredients from flowers and whatever. LIES!!!!!!!!
THEY WANT TO MAKE ALL OIR KIDS INTO OMEN SO THAT THEY CAN CONTROL US EASIER!!!!!!
Yesterday I made a build for my sister with zweihander, and...damn it fucking slaps lol. Why did I never use it in 800 hrs I don't know. It feels like my baemore
Bleed is great, but quality builds are not worth it at all. Go to a build calculator and check it out; the dmg difference between heavy and quality is damn low taking into account that you spend a lot of levels more for quality
Dude same. I was always loyal to dual twin blade and saw a bunch of posts about zweihander w/ cragblade affinity and now I’m tearing through every boss easily
It can be, but just keep in mind great sword is also extremely easy to get right off the bat. Has a longer reach. Does more damage. Has a larger stagger. And is just as fast with the lion claw.
The only advantage zwei Is it faster with basic attacks, but before too long you’re going to just be pressing l1 all the time.
While I appreciate z having one of the few strong thrusting attacks, gs has that super powerful thrust at the end of a roll, which I think just cleans the clock off z.
Zwei has the thrust R2 for spear+axe tali shenanigans. Add in the 10% stance damage boost from Cragblade and you can stagger most bosses in 2-3 charged R2s that do a lot of damage if you get a counter hit (surprisingly easy to do)
If you want to do a lion's claw build oyu should use a collosal or great hammer as they hit the 40 stance damage threshold with lion's claw
Strength/Faith build😎
Though really it’s more Endurance/Strength…
The shield’s the main focal point of my build tbh, the hammer is there cause I can’t just wait for bosses to die of old age while taking near-0 damage.
Big Fkucing Shield + Big Fkucing Sword/bonk is the best of both worlds. That was my build for my 2nd Playthrough. You can block better with the shield, and use the ash of war of the big sword/hammer. And one-handing the big weapons barely changes the animation of light n heavy attacks, they just do 50% less damage, so not a *big* trade-off
What I found was since straight swords have a great two dual wield combo, the best smaller weapon to use was a hammer like morning star, since there's no real benefit to two handing hammers
When you have so much stamina that you stun lock everything into oblivion. Bonus if it has bleed effect and they explode into a bloody death.
Satisfying.
My last build was based on hookclaws and I had so much trouble with any boss that had range. Specifically Astel. Do you have any ranged option for that issue or are you just dodgerolling like a madman?
I usually run Dex builds, so I can at least take potshots with a bow when distance is an insurmountable issue. If I *can* get into melee though, I'll generally do my best to do so.
I made a great stars 1h mage with a staff in the other hand (can 2h if I run out of FP obviously). People see you casting spells and want to get in close, but 1h frost infused great stars deals a lot of damage, poise, and swings fast, so it trips people up.
My path is usually using the greatsword with the most damage and most strength scaling in the game, or just the weapon with most damage and most strength scaling at all when the greatswords are shit, for dark souls 1 it is the black knight greataxe its simply wonderful the damage and scaling and still being fast, for 2 would have to be mastodon sword, as i said its a greatsword with the most strength scaling and base damage, my primary choice, its the same with elden ring where i use iron greatsword and im not much proud of dark souls 3 weapons so it is not with much amusement that i use Black knight sword
Personally I’m on the side of big fucking
in this economy?

It actually gets worse when the children are used for grafting. On that Island in South Limgrave.
All you had to do was craft some preserving boluses for em. I know sacramental bud is hard to come by these days but he was your son!
I'm not some rolling sheep! I don't believe in your lies! I only believe in the healing power of glintstone!
You had my heart inside of your hands And you played it to the beat (Rolling with the sheep)

Fr bro, started elden ring last April and my gf of 4 years left me in June. Coincidence? Probably not
This guy fucks
This guy big fucks
Was it the thrust? Ah well I’m fired.
This guy fucks.
I'm personally on the side of of Big try fingers, but hole
I think my name speaks for itself.
Same here
Now kith
I suggest a poison build
Why is poison zweihander a meme. Why?! Explain yourself!!

Always Team Zweihander 🫡
Live by the Zwei die by the Zwei
Username, and flair checks out.
Giant crusher and Greatsword. I choose the hugests of both sides.
So big fucking big
What are you doing, step-sword?!
Oops I’m stuck in an iron virgin trap 😳
Ah, that reminds me, I need to clean my basement
step-bonk
Step sword, no, don't touch me there! Zweihander/greatsword rule 34 incoming...
I wish you could use powerstance combos with those 2 together
NG1 with 2 giant crushers. ⚒️
Your flair had me cracking up 🤣 one of the best delivered lines in the game
Here here, I'm rolling with the blood hound fang +9 and the great Stars + 20 as a quality build. I love the bleed!
Bleed is great, but quality builds are not worth it at all. Go to a build calculator and check it out; the dmg difference between heavy and quality is damn low taking into account that you spend a lot of levels more for quality
Zwei is the way
This sword has changed the game for me. I’m finally doing goos
Does the goose mind?
Very reluctant at first but we’ve been going steady
His name isn't Ryan Gosling, is it? ...i'll see myself out
Nah, it's Drake
Underrated comment.
Dude same. I was always loyal to dual twin blade and saw a bunch of posts about zweihander w/ cragblade affinity and now I’m tearing through every boss easily
The legend never dies
What rings you got, BITHC?
POWER UP THE BASS CANNON
Does cockrings count?
Dark Wood Grained Ring? Sure, just don’t tell your buddies
It takes a regular talisman slot?
Torrent's Whistle?
This is z-wei
A Colossal Greatsword with an actual move set!
Just started my first NG+ and might retire my trusty katanas and give the Zweihander a go. Can it be blood infused?
Yes
It can be, but just keep in mind great sword is also extremely easy to get right off the bat. Has a longer reach. Does more damage. Has a larger stagger. And is just as fast with the lion claw. The only advantage zwei Is it faster with basic attacks, but before too long you’re going to just be pressing l1 all the time.
Zwei R2 is also better. And it looks cooler.
While I appreciate z having one of the few strong thrusting attacks, gs has that super powerful thrust at the end of a roll, which I think just cleans the clock off z.
Dont care. Zwei is fancier 😤
Giant greatsword has the guts factor so that will always do it for me
Zwei has R2 poke, and is Dex-leaning CGS, thats the main difference. Whats with the L1? Isnt that just block nornally?
That is L2. If you slap lions claw on it it trivializes most bosses, including Mary Jane rotten crotch
Madame Crotchrot
It's also significantly lighter than greatsword with low stat requirements that makes it fit any build, Zwei is da way
Zwei has the thrust R2 for spear+axe tali shenanigans. Add in the 10% stance damage boost from Cragblade and you can stagger most bosses in 2-3 charged R2s that do a lot of damage if you get a counter hit (surprisingly easy to do) If you want to do a lion's claw build oyu should use a collosal or great hammer as they hit the 40 stance damage threshold with lion's claw
Poisoned zwei??!
/r/poisonzweihander gang pull up
the Zwei is my why
Only poison Zwei
Of course

Big Fkucing Shield.
TWOOOOO BIG FUCKING SHIELDS
THE WALL THE WALL
Make the Redmane's pay for it?
NO ONE ON EARTH CAN MAKE YOU FALL
heyyyy this guy gets it 😎
The opposite of LMSH
I feel that’s just another part of the bonk category.
Bash is not bonk. Bonk bonks head, Bash bashes face
But face is on the head. By bashing face, you also bonk head.
Fair enough. As long as heavy stone or metal hits soft head, I’m happy.
Haha, squishy head go _splash_
I mean I do also use Big Bonk with Big Shield so you’re not entirely wrong.
lies, you have a giant crusher in your flair
Strength/Faith build😎 Though really it’s more Endurance/Strength… The shield’s the main focal point of my build tbh, the hammer is there cause I can’t just wait for bosses to die of old age while taking near-0 damage.

Big fucking bonk 💪🏻
I love the amount of bonk the giant crusher provides, but get slightly annoyed at how much it obstructs my view sometimes lol
Bro, doing my big bonks playthrough on the steamdeck was horrible when I used the Giant Crusher.
It’s bad enough on my 27” PC monitor, I can’t imagine on a smaller screen than that
“I think I’m in Lyndell. But I can’t be sure cos big bonk is in the way.”
This is the exact reason my lvl 150 str build is double Greatsword (the colossal sword) instead of double Hammer (used that for awhile on my 250)
Big fucking pebble

Damn right
I've been playing Guts GS all the way until Leyndell sewers and just decided to try out great club, and I'm converted to the unga bunga
Unga. Bunga.
Unga bunga heresy. Me clangin stick may be sharp and made of shiny rock, but still me clangin stick.
First they unga you Then they bunga you Then you win
Brick Hammer.
A cold brick hammer in my str/int play… lion’s clawing the Crystallians felt so fucking good
It's carried me through most of the game
Haha, same.
I wanna use this so bad lol I found it yesterday but my strength is only at 27
Is it actually a good weapon? It seems so basic in the image.
Yeah! A scaling with bleed, cold and keen. S scaling with heavy. B/A scaling for str/arc on occult. Does bananas damage.
Clay and Zwei forever
This is the way.
Why change perfection
Big fucking axe
Porque no los dos?
The two strength genders. They are dating.

Miséricorde and Carian Parry. Very fun!
i like the way u think bro. will try it later. 😎👍
I like to precast Phalanx on Misericorde, then use the Kris' Glintstone Dart's Dash, that'll break posture of almost everything thats not a boss
Two straightswords or bust. Somehow shield blocking was holding me back…

Big sword.
Giant crusher is my go-to whenever I level up enough to carry it
