I'm the opposite, every souls game I start up, I'm immediately asking, "Where is Zwei?" Imagine my joy when I got a drop from those spiders in DS2 and got to dual wield two of them at once. I want that again.
Let’s just say there’s a fricken reason every speedrunner resets when they don’t get the black knight halberd to drop from the knight in the garden. Best weapon in the fricken game.
@@urticantspoon9960 Not only it has monstrous range but for a great weapon it’s surprisingly light on the moves. Compared to BKGS and BKGA it’s really fast.
fun fact : boxers in ancient times didn't have weight classes, nor did they have real techniques like dodging or weaving out of the way it was until what would be considered a middle weight fighter dodge (and became somewhat a champion in his sport) that it was adopted by other boxers you can verify this on google (boxer+dodge+history) (my apolodgies if it's a false memory of mine
The zweihander has probably saved more lives than any other weapon in DS1, I remember I kept it as my backup for anything that gave me a really hard time
I'd argue Black Knight Halberd is more reliable, Zwei carries it's weight after getting above +10, more so because you can get the BKH to 3+ while still in Parish. Plus starting as a thief really let's you get just enough stats to two hand it before the Gargs, which is enough to two shot the Gargs. Not to mention the extra damage against demons really helps obliterates Queelag too. Late game it is outshined by a vast majority of weapons in terms of raw damage but it's low weight and fast attack allows you to drop some armor and keep fastrolling. I've completed the game without armor in 1 hr 10 mins glitchless and BKH was the secret, do try it out sometime.

Don’t you mean the Baemore 😏 My first run in every souls game is with the claymore or the uchi and then the second is with the other one Unless it’s bloodborne… that’s it’s saw spear for life until the saif
On my first playthrough, I accidentally dealt too much damage to that merchant before I realized he was friendly and not just another Hollow. 😭 I just saw him right after coming through the doorway and murder-hobo'd him.
Claymore is less slow to me (not that its a fast sword at all), Zwei feels like I have to wait 10 minutes before my swing finishes, idk it was never my thing.
@doomtrooper3184 Zweihander can be found right away, and uses basic materials to upgrade. Plus, since it scales off both Str and Dex in its standard form, it remains viable to have pyromancy as a side option.
Its probably the best newB friendly wep (if ur new dont get discouraged if u run into problems later on )u just gotta get used to the timing-(if all else fails lev it up and apply fire, lightning etc(for bosses
It's heavy is pretty hard to miss with and even if you do, you're most likely barely missing and knocking them back. It's like a free safe on block if it was in a arcade fighting game. Very little room to punish you for messing up.
Something I really like about the zwëihander is the little AoE it has on the R2 attack, even if you miss the attack the stomp on the ground will hit your target and damage it a little, it can also stagger some enemies (and it gets even greater if infused with lightning)
To be fair, they should be resting the sword on top of armor. It's only for gameplay convenience that there they can do it regardless of what they're wearing.
Zweihander is just a bit inferior to Black Knight Ultra Greatsword when it comes to that one shot capabilities. However the BKGS's ability is to burger flip and not pancake though.
I use it in every souls game and Elden ring. Can’t get enough of it. I’m using it in a intelligence build I’m DS2 rn with a magic infusion and it’s great.
I was once a new player that thought the jump in power to a Zweihander was the greatest thing ever… then I discovered dark bead, dark pursuers, and tranquil walk of peace. That was the beginning of my villain arc.
Yeah once I got the zweihander, I saw why everyone loves it. I genuinely don’t think I could have beaten ds1 without it lol. I ended the game with the zwei and havel’s entire armor set and medium roll
Casually killing npc without hesitation then mocking what he says back at him while crushing his skull and her face show no reaction at all is slightly terrifying lol
The zweihander is an all around great colossal weapon, and it's easily accessible in early game play. It's also been my bread n butter in every DS iteration of it. You could never go wrong with it.
Zweihander has basically the same moveset as the Meat Cleaver from Demon's Souls which was everyone's favorite weapon in that game for this same reason. The pancake maker

“It was too big to be called a sword…” so we call it zweihander.
The word is taken from german which translated basically means two handed
@@jonass.4151 You're killing the amazing reference rn bud 😅
"It was like a big slab of iron"
@@javieracevedo2362 wrong weapon for the reference though.
The greatsword is the reference, not the zweihander
@@barmacidic2257 wrong again.. that reference goes to the sword that the black swordsman, Guts uses, the dragon slayer
Every time I play a souls game I’m like “no zwei this time” and without fail I immediately fall back in love with it
I'm the opposite, every souls game I start up, I'm immediately asking, "Where is Zwei?" Imagine my joy when I got a drop from those spiders in DS2 and got to dual wield two of them at once. I want that again.
This is why I like DS3 and Elden Ring more than the others. They gave me a reason not to just build a pure meatman

Black knight halberd and full armor was my go-to for every run for a long time
Dodging was invented in 1800
Ppl before 1800:
What? Everyone knows Miyazaki invented dodging, what're you on about.
I believvveeeee hes implying that dodging, was no where to be found in this video. Even from the invader 😂
@@emeraldlipz1218no he’s definitely saying that the alternative to dodging is having the zweewee sword
fun fact : boxers in ancient times didn't have weight classes, nor did they have real techniques like dodging or weaving out of the way

I always go claymore, prefer how it looks and prefer its moveset 🙂
Don’t you mean the Baemore 😏
My first run in every souls game is with the claymore or the uchi and then the second is with the other one
Unless it’s bloodborne… that’s it’s saw spear for life until the saif
It also helps that it reminds me of one of my favorite manga series: Claymore.
Love the Clay too but it lacks a heavy thrusting attack in DS1 sadly...
no thrust and it's nowhere near as l0ng
just wish that elden ring didnt spit on em. greatswords/ugs swing too slow for their dmg/poise dmg beyond ds1
@@AdamOwenBrowningi mean colossal weapons have been buffed in elden ring, they feel pretty nice now
On my first playthrough, I accidentally dealt too much damage to that merchant before I realized he was friendly and not just another Hollow. 😭 I just saw him right after coming through the doorway and murder-hobo'd him.
It happens to the best of us.
"that range is beautiful". Proceeds to get as close as possible.
The way you mocked "I'll teach you!" had me laughing!🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Zwei is nice but for some reason I always go Claymore. I know I'm not alone there.
Claymore is less slow to me (not that its a fast sword at all), Zwei feels like I have to wait 10 minutes before my swing finishes, idk it was never my thing.
I love the claymore. So much that I have a hard time playing with other weapons or using faith/int builds
I went with claymore too, it's because I like to use a shield and using the Z one handed requires higher STR stat.
I always go zwei and claymore together with a strenght build. Zwei for bonking and claymore for the backstabs and parry
I relate its to slow
“Why does everyone love Zweihander?” it's simple. Monkey brain likes sticks. Zweihander is giant metal stick. What's not to like?
Still in my opinion the best and most fun weapon they’ve ever made. Watching this clip makes me wanna redownload remaster and play
She sounds like Charlie when she says "God, that range is beautiful."
Zweihänder literally translates to "Two hander". I can't possibly understand where they got that name from.
From ye ol Deutschland
Every playthrough the toughest thing in the whole game is stopping myself from just grabbing the Zweihander again
"Well... What is it?"
Pov: you passed the controller to your gf
And she kill every single npc in fire link

Best attack in the entire game imo

The way it just pancakes everything in front of it is just so satisfying
Zwei the ds1 pancake maker, everytime someone asked me what i was doing while playing i was always replied, making pancakes
You killed the merchant 💀
Point down gesture
Ahhh this brings back fond memories. First time doing a giant dad build, the zwei just crushes everything.
The path of the giant dad is strong in this one lol
"God that range is beautiful" she litterally doing pancakes relying on the mob ☠☠☠☠💀💀

She is saying that the range is great,but she litterally hitting the enemies close to her, how the range is big is she is relying on the mob?

Me in real life: rests a zweihander upon my shoulder
My shoulder: *gets fuckin stabbed*
To be fair, they should be resting the sword on top of armor. It's only for gameplay convenience that there they can do it regardless of what they're wearing.
That “gon mad have you?” Always funny hearing that dialogue mid strike
The pancake attack on that last invader looked so intense I'm surprised it wasn't a 1 shot kill!
Zweihander is just a bit inferior to Black Knight Ultra Greatsword when it comes to that one shot capabilities.
However the BKGS's ability is to burger flip and not pancake though.
Hell yeah. R2 spam on zweihander was so satisfying. Used it as my main weapon for most of the game
Fun part of a ‘Firelink Shrine items only’ run.

Love that she says that range is so beautiful then proceeds to hit everything from a millimeter away lol

This and the BKH are absolutely my two favourite DS1 weapons.

The strenght isnt the only thing that makes the zweihander perfect
