Pretty sure I saw the other POV or it was someone from the edge on a insta reel or reddit. I forget but I didn't think I would see the actual vid, wild.
In a book series called "West of Eden," there are dinosaur-men who hunt prehistoric humans with smaller dinosaurs which have been genetically modified into becoming blowguns called hesotsan, which the lizard greatsword reminds me of. I wish FROM leaned more into it having ranged capability, it would have made it stand out more as a weapon
That’s interesting! I wonder if that was an influence for From Soft. Either that or that one dinosaur from Jurassic park that spit at the guy that plays Newman
@@AutismoTheGrand one of my favorite clips I’ve gotten for sure! The lizard sword drops from the lizard imps in the dlc catacombs. Throw on the silver scarab talisman and you should get it pretty quickly
I did some testing, and i found that the forked tongue projectile does pierce damage, allowing for the spear talisman to buff it's damage on counter attacks, but the smithing talisman does not buff it.
Bleed lizard is geniunely one of if not the best weapon in the whole dlc, because every heavy attack does double bleed build up AND both the thrust and tongue shot are pierce damage so if you time your attack you can get a pierce boost on both. ALSO ALSO, it counts as 2 hits for any multiple hits effect
I have this glitch where every time I invade its someone using a long range cheese build and a taunter's tongue and has like 40 hunters waiting to run a train on me
The *Arrow's Reach* talisman increases the range and tracking of ANY projectile from your weapons, not just arrows. It applies to several weapon arcs and to some special attacks such as these. Works on the Smithscript hammer and daggers, for example. That talisman is hella slept on.
Did you try the new throwing weapon talisman? Not sure if that would improve the projectile damage. It works for Messmer’s spear, the Claws of Night, and of course the Smithscript weapons.
There's also something where if you have a status on it the projectile will do the same amount of status buildup as the weapon does effectively doubling the buildup.
i love how you don't really use anything "op", your fundamentals are just so insane you can clown on them with something goofy, i was hoping I'd see people use my new favorite gun-claymore from the dlc, thank you
I ended up testing the talismans after this video. Unfortunately I found no effect. The spear talisman seems to increase its damage from my testing and from other commenters as well though!
My favorite weapon art to pair with this is blinkbolt it is really good for actually make the heavy attack hit and lightning affinity in any water area it's ggs if you aren't bad. The art closes the gap for you giving you eye frames for the opening of the heavy before the thing shoots out. The key to doing damage is to make both hits hit simultaneously by jamming the lizard into thier spinal cord
Been loving the lizard GS. Claymore moveset, shoots a projectile for either ranged option or a hard hitting R2 and although you can't put a lot of the same AoW as you can on the other GS, you can do a cold Carian sovereignty and that thing slaps. Also lionclaw and double slash are pretty good on it.
Spear talisman works also very well with the piercing fang ash of war. Its my favourite weapon of the dlc so far! Even tho it lacks dps compared with the claymore. And the moveset is slightly worse. The range can be very good tho!
I’d say their about even. Claymore has a higher AR but lizard sword hits twice. Lizard GS might be better if you run the spear talisman and try to trade but claymore has a better moveset with the crouch poke
I like your content. Popular invasion channels use cheese tactics to squeeze in small damage whenever they are in a tough spot. I really prefer you disrespecting swiftslash and broken hitbox users. Also I had no idea you only had 300 subscribers when the video finished. I really expected you to have more
I mean, it's a Claymore with a 9mm strapped to it. It's hard to hate. I did try it in duels for a bit and didn't do very well despite usually doing pretty well with the Claymore. Honestly think I've just forgotten how to use the Claymore after using the Great Katana too much, lol.
I try to tell people to keep their ash of war a secret until the killing blow. That is if you have a weapon where you can swap it. This way because it's a secret they won't know what's coming until they're low on health.
On one hand the special attribute that makes this weapon stand out is the projectile, abd it's really bot that good, abd it ebds up playkng a lot lke a slightly worse Claymore On the other hand, if a weapon is close in comparison to the claymore then it's doing alright, and you could do wah worse.
Underrated, or underwhelming? Sorry but this didn't really sell me the weapon. I mainly watch Lost's invasions, and he mainly uses weapons and builds that has 7-800dmg without buffs. Because if the host & friends don't respect your dmg, they can just bumrush you. As we saw in these invasions. Had fun watching tho. 👍
Different types of invasions. Very different ways to play the game. Fan daggers, crabs, freeze pots, using ads and environmental hazards? Like, it's finding ways to out gimmick ganks, this game has so many moving parts you can do so much shit that people have never seen before and will never see again but absolutely rolled by it that single time. This weapon has something really special and it's a tool for players who like to have another option at their disposal. When he got a fair 1v1 with a gs the weapon clearly did what it needed to and he was smart with the claymore moveset and maybe the most versatile poke right now. None of this is antagonistic towards you obvi, I just really love this playstyle and it's awesome to see someone really tinker with a random world drop weapon and bring out it's strengths. Different strokes for different folks, you don't have to be sold on a weapon and there's certainly more damaging builds with this sword even, proccing poison sometimes pre single buff opens up a whole new list of options for you and things you can pair with that tool that you just can't elsewhere. I think it's more about how exciting a weapon is in the right hands rather than how overtuned it is. Some of the biggest threats are not raw damage output right now.
Ah, a fellow RL138 enjoyer! I'll have to farm for that funny lizard myself, looks super fun. Have you checked if spear talisman or any of the arrow/bolt boosting talismans work on it?
@@anitaremenarova6662 for the no commentary section I was mainly running the axe and spear talismans over the shard of Alexander and two handed talisman. I didn’t notice any significant difference with the projectile damage just the poke got a lot stronger. Another commenter mentioned the arrows sting talisman but I still need to test that out. I completely overlooked it!
*REUPLOAD*
So as it turns out my PC records just fine, I’m just an idiot. Hope you guys enjoy the invasions!
Dude the mirror image of the Radahn sword part was insane. Like straight out of Scooby Doo.
Bro that was peak comedy
PURE CINEMA
How did that guy Joker himself?
They literally fucking synced that was amazing 😂
They even turned around at the same time. I literally said “wtf” out loud cuz I wasn’t sure what I was watching at that point 😂😂
4:15 💀
Seriously the funniest thing I've seen in Elden Ring. The mirrored look-around they did was cartoonish.

That radahn greatsword interaction was downright perfect. Also where do you get this little lizard sword

Very entertaining video! The double Radahn moment some other comments already mentioned had me in tears haha You definitely deserve the more views
4:15 is a matrix moment
3:14 I love how the summon looked around as if either wondering where the host went or dumbfounded at how stupid that death was

the way you fell had me dying😂
never seen that animation before
idk how many times i used the timestamp already😂
@@JTvTK just a casual face plant lol
Can't believe From stole the falling animation from Halo 1 and thought nobody would notice.
"Alright let's make some space" lmao

Going around aggressively selling car insurance

I finally got around to testing the arrow talismans and found it had no effect. It definitely made sense on paper though!
MYTH STATUS: BUSTED
Did you try the new throwing weapon talisman? Not sure if that would improve the projectile damage. It works for Messmer’s spear, the Claws of Night, and of course the Smithscript weapons.
It doesn't. Probably because the thing is more "fired" than thrown
There's also something where if you have a status on it the projectile will do the same amount of status buildup as the weapon does effectively doubling the buildup.
also i wonder if the damage gets boosted by ar, and if arrow talisman work with it
@@SuraLdin there's a chance it works bit who knows. You could try it out for yourself?
That mirroring was a shock!! 4:15
Genuinely hilarious and entertaining invasions, subbed
gonna keep that maiden mist ladder cheese backlogged for my mage invasions XD
Close enough, welcome back Lizard Staff
Night maiden’s is vile with ladders holy cow
i love how you don't really use anything "op", your fundamentals are just so insane you can clown on them with something goofy, i was hoping I'd see people use my new favorite gun-claymore from the dlc, thank you
O:< does the projectile take the arrow's sting tali buff?
Not from my testing unfortunately
@@vince_9643 Dang x.x I thought I had it!
Finally, some Lizard Sword appreciation 😢. Wait holy shi I saw your vid off a reddit post,the Radahn sword part lmao
It’s a small world! I was surprised the attention the clip got over there
it feels like a weapon that could be in Castle Crashers but as in actual lizzard on a stick
The swift slash tbag was diabolical 💀
would be a wild interaction but wonder if the bow/crossbow talismans do anything for the projectile
I ended up testing the talismans after this video. Unfortunately I found no effect. The spear talisman seems to increase its damage from my testing and from other commenters as well though!
Dude these invasions are peak good stuff
"The lizard sword is slept on!"
**Gets wrecked, runs away for 2 mins and switches to the enemies weapon**
LMAO i saw that clip of you and the joker on instagram today. Glad i found this vid by chance!
It’s crazy to me how that clip spread. I didn’t even know it was on instagram until I saw the comments
Fyi you can put bleed on it and the build up is insane also the projectile will cause bleed too
I’ll have to try that out when we revisit this weapon!
3:10 truly the mage of all time, he made himself disappear

That redahn moment with the host should of been submitted to sunlightblades top 10.

This was more a showcase of Invader Tools.
Canon, Night Maidens Mist, Pots and Swaps 💪
Literally the only weapon I was using for the majority of my play through of the DLC
No way i didnt knew of this glorious funny weapon.
Now you’re in the know 😁
You are in the know, right?
Are you in the know? You might be in the know. YOURE SO IN THE KNOW!
I saw the starscourge clip on reddit, and this youtube video just happen to be recommended to me today
that heel turn at the beginning was great
3:25 lmaoooo im crying
the fall at 4:05 and the radahn thing at 4:15 was so funny
4:04 splat sfx not found
Spear talisman works also very well with the piercing fang ash of war. Its my favourite weapon of the dlc so far! Even tho it lacks dps compared with the claymore. And the moveset is slightly worse. The range can be very good tho!
I WISH I WAS IN TIJUANA
EATING BARBEQUED IGUANA
I like this weapon with the divine beast frost stomp. Easy to land the projectile attack after.
FINALLY ITS GETTING SOME LOVE! LOVE THE LIZARD BOI!
If you make it blood or poison scaling the projectile will increase the status effect
Helix Halberd. This weapon from DS2 had similar mechanics on a strong attack.
3:12 the most moonveil user of all time.
Dunno how you didn't burst there, mad composure.
I mean is the poke better than the claymore's? Assuming you do that bit of extra damage.
I’d say their about even. Claymore has a higher AR but lizard sword hits twice. Lizard GS might be better if you run the spear talisman and try to trade but claymore has a better moveset with the crouch poke
the bullet that shoots out takes on the status effect of the weapon👍

Did you try the Smith script talisman for the projectile damage?
Did you check to see if the arrow’s sting talisman boosts the poke projectile?
I did after I made this video. Sadly it has no effect. The spear talisman does seem to have an effect on the projectile though
@@vince_9643 ah bummer
I love how that one host "The Knight" didn't attack until his phantom died he was real as fuck for that
I love the lizard GS. I usually use piercing fang for a nasty rollcatch combo. R1 L2 R2
I mean, it's a Claymore with a 9mm strapped to it. It's hard to hate.
I did try it in duels for a bit and didn't do very well despite usually doing pretty well with the Claymore. Honestly think I've just forgotten how to use the Claymore after using the Great Katana too much, lol.

I seen the radhan moment on Instagram 😭😭 did not expect to see it in this video
I’ve been seeing comments like this and it’s insane how that clip got around. I never even posted it there lol
Nice video bro 😎
Appreciate it man!
Anyone wondering it scales best on dexterity, even when two handing. It’s an absolutely unit on a proper dex build.
Did you try using the arrows sting talisman to boost it?
I ended up testing it after this video came out and sadly it doesn’t seem to have any effect
1:30 arrow tali?
For how quickly the guy with swift slash got folded was hilarious.
The throwing weapon talisman doesn't boost the projectile damage either?
Does the smithing talisman improve it?
Underrated cuz people saw you cant pogo stick with it and stashed it.
Have tou tried the throwinf item talisman for extra damage on the projectile?
it's like the dlc brought 26 new weapons and about 57 of them are TOTALLY UNDERRATED DLC Weapon
What about the spear talisman mabey?
Arrow soaring talisman or smithing talisman may increase the damage of it
I love how low it's stat requirements are.
Slept on because Ive never seen it
I never want to see it again, it looks like mince! What is next? The duck bill patapuss dagger? Seriously though I am having a great time with shadow
Why the bullgoat tali?
now I kinda want to make a Lizard Wizard build
What is that red thing on the floor at 7:34 in Belurat??
I have no idea either..
Bloodstain from someone who has the same group password as you
@@bubbachord0167 ohhhhhh makes sense, I have never put a group password
Have you tried the arrow sting talisman? it might count as a physical projectile like Spectral Lance does
@@Poixat I actually didn’t think of that! Good idea I’ll try it out later
If that talisman works then DLCs Soaring Sting Talisman would be better. Or both.
The Smith script talisman definitely works with it...
@@vince_9643 it could be the throwing weapon talisman as well. I Feel like one of these is bound to affect it
I was elated when it dropped xD not my kind of weapon (on that build at least) but it was hilariously fun as a concept.
I knew someone was gonna talk about this
Had literally no idea this sword existed
Night Maiden's Mist strat was clutch
did you try spear talisman?
Some other commenters mentioned it does but I have to test it myself. It was hard to judge in the invasions I ran that talisman
@@vince_9643 you can always resort to dog

Wait, *baemore moveset you say?*
The silly lizard sword has the claymore moveset, meanwhile no legendary greasword has non-standard greatsword moveset?
The tragedy.
SICH AN AMAZING VIDEO THANK YOU MWAK
Maybe the poke is affected by smithscript
3:11 now you see me, now you dont xD
Say hello to the roasted lizard stick!!
The fact you can’t use it as a pogo stick like the imps do is such a shame, tho I’m betting it wouldn’t be very good tbh 😭
I've had alot of fun with this weapon
This thing seems to have a truly abysmal drop rate
Glad to see someone else using this wepon 😂😂
4:48 felt that 😂
im pretty sure its also the longest greatsword now
Looks like this weapon is perfectly rated to me.
love the fashion
