@@elkevinski the man carrying the hammer must have hands made of steel the entire scene was dumb love how thats the limit for you not the giant hammer being swung round like its a wrench
I think the battle against the rus was supposed to show that they had no hope of winning, like the size of the viking army compared to previous battles was so small
Depending how hard that viking is swinging that maul that soldier with the shield should of gotten a broken or spranged arm. It's been proven that depending on the shock force of the blunt weapon against a shield (regardless if it's wood, iron steel etc) the force from the weapon transferring into the shield would still be strong enough travel through the shield into the arm or hands of the wielder breaking or severally damaging the arm or hands. It was another reason why strong warriors favored blunt weapons like the maul cause it was able to get through defenses easily and allow them to go on a killing spree without having to slow down however the strength (it's weight) of the weapon is also its down side because once you miss with that weapon your left open for an attack unless you let go of your weapon and switch to hand to hand combat however doing so can also be a problem especially in a chaotic battle like in the video.
@@johnjerman3421 sorry but im not going to shut my brain off just because "it's a movie". If this was a fantasy world like lord of the rings then you would have a point since it's in a fantasy setting meaning the materials they use for armor and weapons might work differently from the real world. Sadly vikings is a tv series that follow the viking timeline of our history (though they merged and changed several things in the time line in order to make the show more interesting) which means it's got to have realistic battle situations other wise it comes off way too fake. It also ruins the suspense since now you know the character has plot armor and won't die because their body is more durable than normal. that's my opinion about this scene if you don't like it then please ignore it. Also vikings is a tv series not a movie.
I wish there was more berserker plot lines in the show. Ideally, like a full out interpration/explanation of how they get into that mode. From what I've seen, it may have included mushrooms of sort. That's just 1 guess though. Would have been a cool episode in the series.
Ebrahim Mostafa He’ll get back to that, but no one always stays the same. It’s character development and he’s finding out his purpose in life. Every son went through struggles in 6a, including Ivar. Just wait till 6b when we see him go full on crazy mode in battle again. As he said to Ivar, he’s gone to his “destructive element”.
Despite how difficult it looks to use in battle, if you master it, u will learn how to make the weaknesses a strength.. Hammers and mauls were used, but i think only the best used them.
@@lightningguardian331 a maul like the one used in the show is made out of wood with metal bindings since if it was made out of steel or even stone it would be too heavy for even the strongest man to swing more then a few times
@@lightningguardian331 Real life warhammers were much, much different to what we are used to see in fantasy, movies and tv shows; they were much smaller and lighter: in one pound of weight is enough to crack open an helmet and the head inside of it, why making yourself slower by adding more weight? ;) I do have a video of me forging an historically accurate wharhammer on my channel if you are intrested
They were but never of that size of heft, it wasn't about skill either it was a matter of space, speed and stamina. If you were this dude sure you could do some damage but you miss, you get stabbed, you've got soldiers left and right of you so good lucking swinging it too much. Real life warhammers and maces were small, they didn't need to be massive and the extra weight just doesn't give you anything to balance out the disadvantages. In a duel it's even worse. And even if you're THAT strong to swing it with any accuracy, half a dozen swings and you're shattered. They were small to apply maximum trauma to one area, you don't need a tonne of force to crack open a head, and if you're tall and strong, all the better. Sadly weapons like this, even scaled down a little just aren't practical, they're better on a battlefield than a duel but not compared to smaller maces or hammers. Hey at least long handled weapons could be used for effective and cool-factor (like a polehammer).
So you’re willing to believe that there could be a mystical deformed man who can see peoples futures, and you can believe a physically disabled person could walk with metal frames around their legs, and you can believe that thor embodies a man to bang Ragnars old wife. But you can’t believe a big dude could swing a big hammer like that?
Ight, so, all archeological evidence on the matter suggests that the Norsemen never had any sort of blunt weapons they used in battle, so already this is just straight up fiction, but also the blunt weapons that WERE used in history were always much, MUCH, smaller than that. Some had longer handles/poles but not a single mace, maul, flail, warhammer, ect. I can think of, or that I have ever heard of, was ever THAT big. Why? Because its balance would be so top heavy that even if you were strong enough to pick it up, and not many would be, it would be more like the weapon swinging YOU around whenever you tried to hit things with it, its momentum would drag you around the battlefield and leave you wide open with every attack. The sad part is the one upside you might think of, devastating attacks whenever they DO connect, isn't even very true, because a weapon like that would be so awkward and hard to control that even if your hit connects and even if it has good force behind it the weapons shape would be working against it and messing up your attacks angle and alignment with every swing. Essentially, to properly wield this weapon you would have to be like 300+ pounds of nearly pure muscle, to account for both strength and balance issues, and way more skilled than the weapons basic design would suggest, to make up for the weapons awkward shape that works against it at every move.
@Aníbal Gleza well... It isn't, at least not every aspect of it. A lot of it is grounded in history, but with certain design choices, added drama, and alterations to details to make it a more entertaining show. Theres lots about it that is pretty accurate, and lots about it is is very inaccurate. This weapon falls under the latter.
@MrJabloney Yes actually, that's exactly what the archeological evidence suggests when talking specifically about Scandinavian sea raiders and sea traders during the Viking Age, which is the only time and people that I was talking about. Based on what we can observe today, archeological findings, the Norsemen DID NOT use blunt weapons, of any kind, in battle. Maybe tomorrow there will be a finding that proves me wrong, but that isn't how facts work. Facts deal it what IS, not what COULD BE. There COULD have been a lone Viking that that decided a wooden mallet was the best weapon to take to battle when his axe or hunting spear was right around the corner. That Viking probably died on his first raid because wooden mallets are not optimised for combat and that wooden mallet probably either burned up with his corpse or disintegrated in the ground over the last thousand years. What Im saying, is that there is NO EVIDENCE that ANY VIKINGS used WOODEN MALLETS in battle. Do you disagree? If so, feel free to prove me wrong with links to some sort of evidence, I love learning new things about the Old Norse, but I think you'll find that Im not wrong. Lastly, let me set one thing straight, I was never talking about wooden mallets, I was talking about the maul in this scene that was very clearly made of metal. Obviously you don't have to be "300+ pounds of nearly pure muscle" to pick up and reliably swing a wooden mallet.
First, do you know anything at all about historical european martial arts, or HEMA? Do you know anything about medieval european arms, armor, or culture? Im far from an expert on these things myself, but I know a decent amount because they are subjects of great interest for me, and in history you don't just assume something was the case because its possible, or because the same people do it at a later time period. If there are no facts to back it, it is untrue until proven otherwise, that's how facts work. Second, I never once implied that this scene revolved around multiple hammer wielding Vikings, you are just dumb. Lastly, most tools and weapons are just named after different a languages version of the same word, like how "Zweihander" is the name for a German greatsword, but it just means "Two Hander" for example. Your little revelation is news to no one.
@MrJabloney um, no, I didn't say the whole scene was fake, I said the weapon was. You CAN read, yes? Also, I never once said that one guy using a blunt weapon was impossible, what I said was that possibilty doesn't matter when it comes to historical fact. It is very possible, and indeed also probable and practical, that the Norsemen who wore mail also wore gambeson underneath, because it was common in that time, but we can NOT just say "oh they wore gambeson" because there is no EVIDENCE to support it. That does NOT, "basically" or otherwise, mean I think its impossible, that means that, in the eyes of history, it is wrong until proven right. The funny this is that I explained this already when talking about whether or not they might have used blunt weapons, yet you still doesn't seem to understand that I am not making the definitive statement that blunt weapons are an impossibility in the hands of Vikings, Im saying its currently unproven, which makes it incorrect, not impossible. Also, yes, I know what deductive reasoning is, the problem is that just because something makes sense, does not mean that it is true, humanity has proven time and time again that it does not have a universal idea of what does and does not make sense. It is just as likely that BECAUSE they have a god who uses a hammer they consider the weapon holy, and do not allow men to wield one in battle lest they be punished via sacrifice to the gods. Now, as far as we can tell with information we have on the matter, this isn't the case, and in the same vein we also know, at least for now, that the Vikings, for whatever reason, did not use blunt weapons, and until we find proof that they did, we can not just say "eh, Thor uses a hammer, that's a good enough reason for me to say that at least one Viking used a hammer in battle" Funnily enough, I actually WANT to be proven wrong on this one, because war hammers are bad ass, but just because I want it to be true that does not make it true. I have to wait for the facts like everyone else, because that's just the way it is. Also, Thor is the god of the average man, the warrior, the farmer, and the craftsmen, so it is actually likely that his "weapon" was not a weapon but a tool, a hammer used for smithing. Its just as likely that, because Germanic myth often sees the gods as ancestors, that Mjolnir is based on a boat axe, a weapon used by proto-germanic peoples with one blunt end like a hammer and one sharp end like an axe, which also happens to perfectly match the profile of Mjolnir. I cant say for sure if it is one or the other, or something else entirely, but that isn't for me to say, that is, at least until I have more facts to back me.

I love the diference in size between fictional and real warhammers. If anyone went into a real medieval battle wielding this... well, he would get stabbed pretty quickly, and the only way he could land an attack is if he gets someone from behind. So, I guess this was pretty realistic.

@Gray Jedi I think he was referring to Alfred.
Why we dont see any berserkers in the fight against rus :(
Maybe the Blacksmith in the first attack of the rus was a berserker
This is not was a weapon for warriors
I think the battle against the rus was supposed to show that they had no hope of winning, like the size of the viking army compared to previous battles was so small
Breaks bricks with his hammer, guys arm behind a wooden shield, totally fine.
Berserker: ayo Odin can I get back there soo I can get revenge
Odin: ok
Berserker: thanks
Love how hvitserk just laughs at the end lmaoo
what a guy
What a lovely guy !
When the guy started laughing at the end, I half expected another mauler to bash his head in
Wtf did u even watch the show
The guy laughing is hvitserk, a Viking, why would another maul beserker kill him lmao🤨
Scene reminded me, about mount and blade, high strength character
If you are interested in Viking songs, I strongly recommend you to watch this one though... :))

Hvitserks half nervous half "fuck you" laugh at the end is the cherry on top
Depending how hard that viking is swinging that maul that soldier with the shield should of gotten a broken or spranged arm.
It's been proven that depending on the shock force of the blunt weapon against a shield (regardless if it's wood, iron steel etc) the force from the weapon transferring into the shield would still be strong enough travel through the shield into the arm or hands of the wielder breaking or severally damaging the arm or hands. It was another reason why strong warriors favored blunt weapons like the maul cause it was able to get through defenses easily and allow them to go on a killing spree without having to slow down however the strength (it's weight) of the weapon is also its down side because once you miss with that weapon your left open for an attack unless you let go of your weapon and switch to hand to hand combat however doing so can also be a problem especially in a chaotic battle like in the video.
repeat after me - Its only a Movie - Its only a Movie
@@johnjerman3421 sorry but im not going to shut my brain off just because "it's a movie". If this was a fantasy world like lord of the rings then you would have a point since it's in a fantasy setting meaning the materials they use for armor and weapons might work differently from the real world.
Sadly vikings is a tv series that follow the viking timeline of our history (though they merged and changed several things in the time line in order to make the show more interesting) which means it's got to have realistic battle situations other wise it comes off way too fake. It also ruins the suspense since now you know the character has plot armor and won't die because their body is more durable than normal.
that's my opinion about this scene if you don't like it then please ignore it.
Also vikings is a tv series not a movie.
He hit him hard
yep died with his weapon in hand and in battle, he is feasting in the halls of Valhalla now.
he gets VIP ticket in Valhalla.
He took the expression “beat your ennemies like Thor” a bit too seriously.
that beserker was a true warrior
I wish there was more berserker plot lines in the show. Ideally, like a full out interpration/explanation of how they get into that mode. From what I've seen, it may have included mushrooms of sort. That's just 1 guess though. Would have been a cool episode in the series.
Back when Hvitserk was as cruel and viscous as Ivar... and normal minded of course
now he is pathetic
Nazgûl agreed
Ebrahim Mostafa
He’ll get back to that, but no one always stays the same. It’s character development and he’s finding out his purpose in life. Every son went through struggles in 6a, including Ivar.
Just wait till 6b when we see him go full on crazy mode in battle again. As he said to Ivar, he’s gone to his “destructive element”.
He's back now. He has embraced his destructive element.
Alfred must have the strongest arms in the universe to have been withstanding so many impacts.....still love this show 😭😭😭😭😭
King with heavy hand:D
Despite how difficult it looks to use in battle, if you master it, u will learn how to make the weaknesses a strength.. Hammers and mauls were used, but i think only the best used them.
I wonder exactly how strong you must be to use such a hammer effortlessly like the real ones in historical scenarios?
@@lightningguardian331 a maul like the one used in the show is made out of wood with metal bindings since if it was made out of steel or even stone it would be too heavy for even the strongest man to swing more then a few times
@@lightningguardian331 Real life warhammers were much, much different to what we are used to see in fantasy, movies and tv shows; they were much smaller and lighter: in one pound of weight is enough to crack open an helmet and the head inside of it, why making yourself slower by adding more weight? ;)
I do have a video of me forging an historically accurate wharhammer on my channel if you are intrested
@@Professor_ross1 oh now I’m interested
They were but never of that size of heft, it wasn't about skill either it was a matter of space, speed and stamina.
If you were this dude sure you could do some damage but you miss, you get stabbed, you've got soldiers left and right of you so good lucking swinging it too much.
Real life warhammers and maces were small, they didn't need to be massive and the extra weight just doesn't give you anything to balance out the disadvantages. In a duel it's even worse. And even if you're THAT strong to swing it with any accuracy, half a dozen swings and you're shattered. They were small to apply maximum trauma to one area, you don't need a tonne of force to crack open a head, and if you're tall and strong, all the better.
Sadly weapons like this, even scaled down a little just aren't practical, they're better on a battlefield than a duel but not compared to smaller maces or hammers. Hey at least long handled weapons could be used for effective and cool-factor (like a polehammer).
odin watching this from valhalla:
- Ragnar get me the nails and planks, gotta reinforce the walls of the hall for the arrival of this mad bastard
That hammer would be too heavy even if it were made out of wood to swing like that. And that guy doesnt need a fucking shield with that arm
Exactly. The Mountain himself couldn't keep up that pace with a hammer like that.
Japanese Mochi hammers get up to that size and handle fine, even if you aren’t a huge person. You’re right about the arm though.
So you’re willing to believe that there could be a mystical deformed man who can see peoples futures, and you can believe a physically disabled person could walk with metal frames around their legs, and you can believe that thor embodies a man to bang Ragnars old wife. But you can’t believe a big dude could swing a big hammer like that?
@@willyouclamup3361 Yes
@@willyouclamup3361 Dont cry its all made up. We just watch the show to enjoy it, not to learn historical facts.
He probably would have killed more enemies if he had a axe instead of that stupid mallet.
The last part when the berserker saved hivistek and died the way he laughed killed me
Bro probably got into Valhalla Premium
Ight, so, all archeological evidence on the matter suggests that the Norsemen never had any sort of blunt weapons they used in battle, so already this is just straight up fiction, but also the blunt weapons that WERE used in history were always much, MUCH, smaller than that. Some had longer handles/poles but not a single mace, maul, flail, warhammer, ect. I can think of, or that I have ever heard of, was ever THAT big. Why? Because its balance would be so top heavy that even if you were strong enough to pick it up, and not many would be, it would be more like the weapon swinging YOU around whenever you tried to hit things with it, its momentum would drag you around the battlefield and leave you wide open with every attack. The sad part is the one upside you might think of, devastating attacks whenever they DO connect, isn't even very true, because a weapon like that would be so awkward and hard to control that even if your hit connects and even if it has good force behind it the weapons shape would be working against it and messing up your attacks angle and alignment with every swing. Essentially, to properly wield this weapon you would have to be like 300+ pounds of nearly pure muscle, to account for both strength and balance issues, and way more skilled than the weapons basic design would suggest, to make up for the weapons awkward shape that works against it at every move.
Lmao that's why they were used by behemoth Giants (where they were used)
@Aníbal Gleza well... It isn't, at least not every aspect of it. A lot of it is grounded in history, but with certain design choices, added drama, and alterations to details to make it a more entertaining show. Theres lots about it that is pretty accurate, and lots about it is is very inaccurate. This weapon falls under the latter.
@MrJabloney Yes actually, that's exactly what the archeological evidence suggests when talking specifically about Scandinavian sea raiders and sea traders during the Viking Age, which is the only time and people that I was talking about. Based on what we can observe today, archeological findings, the Norsemen DID NOT use blunt weapons, of any kind, in battle. Maybe tomorrow there will be a finding that proves me wrong, but that isn't how facts work. Facts deal it what IS, not what COULD BE. There COULD have been a lone Viking that that decided a wooden mallet was the best weapon to take to battle when his axe or hunting spear was right around the corner. That Viking probably died on his first raid because wooden mallets are not optimised for combat and that wooden mallet probably either burned up with his corpse or disintegrated in the ground over the last thousand years. What Im saying, is that there is NO EVIDENCE that ANY VIKINGS used WOODEN MALLETS in battle. Do you disagree? If so, feel free to prove me wrong with links to some sort of evidence, I love learning new things about the Old Norse, but I think you'll find that Im not wrong. Lastly, let me set one thing straight, I was never talking about wooden mallets, I was talking about the maul in this scene that was very clearly made of metal. Obviously you don't have to be "300+ pounds of nearly pure muscle" to pick up and reliably swing a wooden mallet.
First, do you know anything at all about historical european martial arts, or HEMA? Do you know anything about medieval european arms, armor, or culture? Im far from an expert on these things myself, but I know a decent amount because they are subjects of great interest for me, and in history you don't just assume something was the case because its possible, or because the same people do it at a later time period. If there are no facts to back it, it is untrue until proven otherwise, that's how facts work. Second, I never once implied that this scene revolved around multiple hammer wielding Vikings, you are just dumb. Lastly, most tools and weapons are just named after different a languages version of the same word, like how "Zweihander" is the name for a German greatsword, but it just means "Two Hander" for example. Your little revelation is news to no one.
@MrJabloney um, no, I didn't say the whole scene was fake, I said the weapon was. You CAN read, yes? Also, I never once said that one guy using a blunt weapon was impossible, what I said was that possibilty doesn't matter when it comes to historical fact. It is very possible, and indeed also probable and practical, that the Norsemen who wore mail also wore gambeson underneath, because it was common in that time, but we can NOT just say "oh they wore gambeson" because there is no EVIDENCE to support it. That does NOT, "basically" or otherwise, mean I think its impossible, that means that, in the eyes of history, it is wrong until proven right. The funny this is that I explained this already when talking about whether or not they might have used blunt weapons, yet you still doesn't seem to understand that I am not making the definitive statement that blunt weapons are an impossibility in the hands of Vikings, Im saying its currently unproven, which makes it incorrect, not impossible. Also, yes, I know what deductive reasoning is, the problem is that just because something makes sense, does not mean that it is true, humanity has proven time and time again that it does not have a universal idea of what does and does not make sense. It is just as likely that BECAUSE they have a god who uses a hammer they consider the weapon holy, and do not allow men to wield one in battle lest they be punished via sacrifice to the gods. Now, as far as we can tell with information we have on the matter, this isn't the case, and in the same vein we also know, at least for now, that the Vikings, for whatever reason, did not use blunt weapons, and until we find proof that they did, we can not just say "eh, Thor uses a hammer, that's a good enough reason for me to say that at least one Viking used a hammer in battle" Funnily enough, I actually WANT to be proven wrong on this one, because war hammers are bad ass, but just because I want it to be true that does not make it true. I have to wait for the facts like everyone else, because that's just the way it is. Also, Thor is the god of the average man, the warrior, the farmer, and the craftsmen, so it is actually likely that his "weapon" was not a weapon but a tool, a hammer used for smithing. Its just as likely that, because Germanic myth often sees the gods as ancestors, that Mjolnir is based on a boat axe, a weapon used by proto-germanic peoples with one blunt end like a hammer and one sharp end like an axe, which also happens to perfectly match the profile of Mjolnir. I cant say for sure if it is one or the other, or something else entirely, but that isn't for me to say, that is, at least until I have more facts to back me.
Prime Robert Baratheon be like:
Was that a wooden Maul or Stone Maul, either way very impressive. Thor would approve
He saved hvitserk 😊
Mofo came with a huge mace and started laying into everyone
That was one of the most badass things I've ever seen
when the Jormungandr joins he game
So we're expected to believe that dudes arms wouldnt have been blown up by that hammer pounding that shield
This strikes a strong resemblence to the Hector and Ajax duel in Troy film. Too much almost.
This viking was more badass
that is what i saw
@@soupperson280 This viking wasn't fighting against a great hero, just random noobs. Ajax would make short work of him, next...
@@daemontargaryen2262 maybe Ajax would win but the viking is still more badass
@@daemontargaryen2262 Ajax is just a regular giant that used brute force and copper weaponry.. Berserkers are giants that used Steroids called " Berserker Mushrooms" that enhanced strength and speed, plus he carries a steel axe/ warhammer that can cut copper like paper.. and Berserkers are known for their wrestling abilities as well, Ajax is so gonna get @ss whooped.
Straight to Valhalla!
My favorite scene! :) Ivar has the strongest warriors!
his enemies had arms and shoulders made of adamantium to survive those blocks....
MVP!
Odin was like “hey k
I want that one!
I love the diference in size between fictional and real warhammers. If anyone went into a real medieval battle wielding this... well, he would get stabbed pretty quickly, and the only way he could land an attack is if he gets someone from behind. So, I guess this was pretty realistic.
Not really, had he not been stabbed in the back, alfred was a dead man. The thing about the hammer, is you have to be versatile.
Thats an old masonry hammer hes using so looking at it historically most tradesmen at the time went into battle with their trade tools if possible... Im guessing this guy was a stone mason
@nikola zazzoslki well yes hes a berserker but these guys had professions beyond being berserker
@@warboss346 Yes you right his hammer it's not a war hammer. It's a wooden hammer covered with steel. It is mainly used for splitting big logs beating axes head or other steel objects.
Long live my ancestors
0:44 go to 1/4 times speed
Dude took the fastpass to Valhalla
Where did he got that shield
How did he train his arms
That man must be a really nice carpenter or ship maker, if he chose that weapon/tool
Just imagine that bjorn goes down because of 1 sword passing trough him. This dude here handle 2 sword and still get up to kill his murderer. Bjorn donthe same you will se
He ain't dead yet bro
This here was the real deal. The real berserker. Unlike that clown Bjorn fought.
Better watch out for his jotun surge. Don't want to loose your stamina around this guy
The Berserker steps in front of Odin sitting on his throne in Valhalla
Odin: "Welcome brave warrior! We've been waiting for you!"
Berserker: "Get the f*ck out of my chair!"
Odin: "Uhmmm...ok, all yours...."
2 swords in the stomach but still managed to pick up his hammer to score one final kill. True badass
Epic
This sledgehammer warrior is the type of berserker I had expected Bjorn’s killer to be.
That's jormungandr from for honor
No its not, its what Jorm should have been.
One of my favorite scenes
