Hawkwood is a weird npc. A failed abyss watcher, an ashen undead and a follower of the path of the dragon. If Lothric had twitter Hawkwood would have a blue checkmark.

[@mathewklatil5455]

Nah, he was just an Ashen one that joined the wrong club and then decided to find another life meaning in some weird religion. Sounds pretty avarage tbh.

[@saltissalty3498]

At first I thought it's a point down

[@SignumEternis]

That was even more entertaining than I expected. The parry and riposte trades were certainly something. When I saw Hawkwood with the Farron Greatsword at the end I had a feeling he would win, but I definitely was not expecting it to be such a one sided beatdown. Damn.

[@MrEvan312]

It's not small amount of irony that once he puts down his shield that made him the laughing stock of the Legion and just spams aggressively with a big sword he becomes his most powerful by magnitudes.

[@basilisk1197]

[@novidei7991]

It's hard to actually tell who's going to win. Hawkwood has seven flasks, let's not forget, but Hodrick can do insane burst damage if he's on power within AND his tearstone rings are activated.

[@limonbattery]

Turns out Hawkwood didn't need a single one in his final form. Hodrick at this point is probably an A-tier NPC instead of S like I previously thought.

[@rustedcake879]

@@limonbattery Yeah I knew how it would end from the start. The Farron Greatsword works wanders on NPC targets. Hodrick's AI is far too passive & usually loses to most high level NPC.

[@gangzilla5716]

@@limonbattery The final battle kind of depend on who strikes first. Nonetheless, I think Hodrick is still up there along with other S-tier. You can't just call a man who slayed Havel and gave nightmares to hundreds of players an A-tier.

[@gangzilla5716]

[@electricforest17]

@@rustedcake879 yeah you knew it after watching it

[@azurebookllet9216]

SPOILERS Damn, I knew that Ultimate Hawkwood has the advantage, but I did not expect him to pull off a perfect win. Even when he fought Sirris' Questline Hodrick on Pantagana, his victory was a lot more hard-earned. Their earlier phases fighting each other also made for a great spectacle (all those parries going back and forth, Hawkwood's throws and even Power Within suicide.) All in all, a great duel! Struggling to think of how to match this now. Havel vs. Hawkwood sounds kinda obvious in the light of this, I guess. I also remember Gargoyles held their own vs. even the Winged Knights. Maybe have them fight the other tough knights (Millwoods, Corvians, Outriders)?

[@Andriej69]

Jesus, that last one was a pure curbstomp

[@watchfulwanderer6443]

hodrick is strong, but he stays in the pit of hollows for a reason. hawkwood, meanwhile, is an abyss watcher, a dragon follower, and an unkindled. the abyss watchers were an elite army that tore down nations, only the strong can hope to get their hands on dragon stones, and just being unkindled means you made it to the first flame. hawkwood is an out-and-out badass, especially when he uses the farron greatsword.

New suggestions: -Creighton vs Hodrick. -Ledo vs Hawkwood.

Creighton probably another underrated NPC who might be in A-tier. Hawkwood as we're starting to see is definitely high A/low S at minimum so I'd love to see him against a proper S like Ledo.

[@zoltanattilanagy5778]

Ledo will be no match for Hawkwood if the latter uses his Watcher Greatsword. Ledo has superior poise but his damage and fighting style is not the greatest deal. Anyway, I like to see the mentioned battles...

[@genesisosuna]

@@zoltanattilanagy5778 the biggest thing the farron greatsword has going for it is how much it staggers with the l1 and stuff... but ledos hammer gives so much poise not only on the weapon art but on the r1s as well that he can probably tank it and stagger hawk wood out of his spin to win

[@LesWebsterGoldArdeoGang]

These two are absolute beasts. Thanks for a wonderful match up.

I didn't realize Chadwood's final form had such low health. I probably never noticed since that form has the most estus of any NPC. I still remember my first fights with him. My asshole was intimately acquainted with his Sword at least 6 times.

Nice to see those fighters with parry istinct. Wonder if using the shield truly held Hawkwood back.
