IIRC, the ds1 zweihanders heavy does its stagger damage twice, meaning it can stunlock a lot of bosses. Im pretty sure it stunlocks both ornstein and smough, completely trivializing the fight.
Smough staggers every third R1 or every other R2, which is just barely enough to stunlock him, and Ornstein just crumples to it. Gold Pine Resin for Smough, and Charcoal Pine Resin for Super Smough, Charcoal Pine Resin for Ornstein and Super Ornstein. Alternatively, get minimum requirements to cast either Magic Weapon or Great Magic Weapon and get the Oolacile Ivory Catalyst, because Magic Damage is highly effective against both of them, regardless of who dies first.
DS1 zwei heavy attack stunlocks literally everything except dragons (Kalameet, Seathe) and Manus. i never learned dodge or parrying even tho i was not utilizing poise in ds1 cuz how OP zwei's stunlock potential/range/massive hitbox was i just got great at distancing,positioning and spacing out Heavy spams of Zwei and game was p^ss easy. it stunlocks everythong to 0 HP even super form Smough. its nuts. and crazy satisfying to see titan size enemies get v!0lently staggered with each heavy hit, it literally brings taurus demon to its knees every time u hit him with R2
It's not twice the poise, the ultra greatsword running attack and the R2 on the Zweihander and Dragon Greatsword had a shockwawe effect with an added flat poise damage. The 2H running attack on other big weapons dealt 80 poise damage, ultra greatswords got 80+50 with the shockwawe (75+50 on the R2s).
DS1’s Zweihander is the BEST hand down. Because it was so good for a weapon, they felt they had to nerf it after that. Any Zweihander in subsequent soul games therefore have failed comparison to the greatness of the original. Elden Ring’s Zweihander fair a little better than the other soul games, but still failed compared to ds1’s.
Ok funny story My first play through of DS1 I did a spell build I thought the game was difficult but not rage inducing hard like everyone said including my friend who then challenged me to do a melee run So I started a new run picked up the zweihaner and I’m gonna be honest it was easier No limited use Poise breaks Reposts Can chain stun so many enemies That weapon is broken it’s only downside is to properly abuse it you need to invest in some extra stamina but like that’s it
Honestly if From didn't nerf quality builds like they did in DS3, I think the Zwei in that game would have faired a bit better. DS1 though my god. The days where I paired power within, sunlight blade, and just went to town with that weapon. Love you Zwei
Don't think I would call it the best weapon in DS1. In PvE it's a strong option, but there are still some other weapon classes that beat it out such as halberds, and in PvP it's not even close to the likes of MLGS, butterfly horn, demon spear, rapier, "baller swag sword", or even murakumo.
1:21 god I truly miss the astora greatsword man. My absolute favourite PvP weapon to catch people with the weaponart and the range + damage were INSANE
DS 1 Zweihander should be called the pancaker,it even pancakes the black and silver knights when they dont block it and not to forget you can hit ehm with the double pancake since the followup heavy also is a downward slam wich dus lsightly more damage aswell
Where's the Great Sword from Demon's Souls. I mean doesn't have the same name but it's practically the same. The same with the Moonlight great sword and if we need specially only the name the Flamberge from ds1 can't be considered a Flamberge
I wish they would bring back that vertical move set like FUGS, Cathedral Knight Greatsword, and Greatsword from Dark Souls 3. I like the horizontal moveset, but I also really like the vertical moveset.
I have strength and dex at 90 and the zweihander does a little bit more damage and the range looks the same? Plus the zweihander heavy is so much better than the greatsword one

6:15 zweihander in ds1 is so good I first tried artorias with it, I spammed heavy attack and just traded with flasks. What a game.😂😂😂
It is naughty stupid bonk gameplay in ds1 but so funny
@@nonoduh4213 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree. The Zweihander is my go to weapon in DS1 because it's right at the start of the game. Big sword bonk so good
@randychristensen1028 I prefer the demon great machete. Slower r2, but higher ar which means stronger r1 spam.
I prefer the regular greatsword honestly. with Leo ring, r2 can do over 1k damage

DS1's Zwei has the "put anything to sleep" R2 moveset
Ok funny story
My first play through of DS1 I did a spell build
I thought the game was difficult but not rage inducing hard like everyone said including my friend who then challenged me to do a melee run
So I started a new run picked up the zweihaner and I’m gonna be honest it was easier
No limited use
Poise breaks
Reposts
Can chain stun so many enemies
That weapon is broken it’s only downside is to properly abuse it you need to invest in some extra stamina but like that’s it
You can get the shield that increases stamina regen so that makes it even easier to use
Honestly if From didn't nerf quality builds like they did in DS3, I think the Zwei in that game would have faired a bit better. DS1 though my god. The days where I paired power within, sunlight blade, and just went to town with that weapon. Love you Zwei
Before watching, I think the ds1 will win due to giant dad.
I was right
demon´s souls?
It is technically in the game, although under a different name, and the design is quite a bit different from the others
@@eamoncasey4728the Elden ring zweihander looks different as well, he could’ve included demon souls nothing lost tho
It isn't in the game. There is a similar weapon,but not the zweihander
What about the demon's souls " great sword " ?

DS1: Zweihander

DS2: og Guts Greatsword

Hello, dark souls 2 is the best dark souls
Hello, no
Hell(o) no
True🤑
Great game,
worst souls game
the end
it has the best replay value, best ng+ system, best build variety, better quality of life than ds1 better world design than ds3
The Sweiheezy in DS1 is life!
Ah, my weapon of choice. My first playthroughs in every souls game were with that bad boy.
DS 1 Zweihander should be called the pancaker,it even pancakes the black and silver knights when they dont block it and not to forget you can hit ehm with the double pancake since the followup heavy also is a downward slam wich dus lsightly more damage aswell
DS1's zweihander has the best stats, but also the most comically overexaggerated moveset. Also, what about the Demon's Souls zweihander?
Demon Souls has it but it’s called “Greatsword” but the design is Zweihander.
Pro.. How you deal with Manus this easily... That Giant thing kicked my Ass every time i fight him 😭
Where's the Great Sword from Demon's Souls. I mean doesn't have the same name but it's practically the same. The same with the Moonlight great sword and if we need specially only the name the Flamberge from ds1 can't be considered a Flamberge
No Demon's Souls version? It's 100% a Zweihander but they called it the Greatsword.
Power up the bass cannon!
DS3 and Elden Ring Zweihanders scaling better with dex is peak heresy.
What about demon souls zweihander "great sword" while named great sword it has the look of the zweihander
what is the build on ur ds1 zweihander ? upgrading it at crystal and then ?
Its just so funny to me that you can one hand this thing with a shield so you can able to parry shit too if you really want to
Number one better be the Bass Cannon
Edit: 6:11 good
What is the helmet name he is wearing in ds3 ? Somebody please telll
I wish they would bring back that vertical move set like FUGS, Cathedral Knight Greatsword, and Greatsword from Dark Souls 3. I like the horizontal moveset, but I also really like the vertical moveset.
The two handed R2 moveset on most colossals is kinda like that.
It's a ds2 moveset and also have no idea why they ported it do ds3 but then removed it in elden.

I just discovered this, but I like the second heavy attack of the zweihander in Dark Souls 2, and I wish it was in Elden Ring. It looks so cool! 2:20
Not sure how it works but in DS3 the Zweidhander’s one handed R2 thrust attack can knock enemies away more easily than Astora.
I have strength and dex at 90 and the zweihander does a little bit more damage and the range looks the same? Plus the zweihander heavy is so much better than the greatsword one
forgot the demons souls zwei
Now that I think about it I don't think I've ever used the Zweihander in any of these games. Time to change that!
POWER UP THE BASS CANNON...
Me personally I’ve only ever used the zweihander once in ds1 and it kinda plowed through everything. That’s saying a ton.

That pronunciation is atrocious. It’s German so the W is pronounced like a V. Like Zveihander.
I know how to pronounce it but I don’t care because nobody else in the community says it like that
