Fun Fact about the mace, its one of the few things outside of Colossals that gets 1 handed hyper armor. The goofy heavy attacks still have it when 1 handing. Also the Warpick isn't the only hammer that does pierce , all the unique Morning Star moves do pierce as well.

[@TheVeiledMonarch]

No it doesn’t, it has bleed, but deals strike

[@lammyjammy]

The Mace has 1 handed hyperarmor huh? I have been trying to figure out what makes it worth using. It had to be something. That is really cool. I am gonna have to try it out

[@Jblank1016]

@@TheVeiledMonarch All of its unique moves deal Pierce, you can see it by hitting the miners in caves. They're weak to strike and resist everything else. You'll do full damage with a standing R1 but will deal significantly less damage when using a crouch R1 or running heavy.

[@AlexHyena-dv4mb]

the Sceptre of the All-Knowing should be an int-fth scaling weapon like the Sword of Night & Flame, but likely with magic and holy instead

[@niall_sanderson]

And instead of having Knowledge Above All as its weapon art, the L2 button should be able to be used for casting both sorceries and incantations. As for Knowledge Above All, I’d turn it into a sorcery or incantation you can get from defeating Gideon

[@TubularBellsRequiem6531]

​@niall_sanderson that'd definitely work if catalysts were a thing in elden ring. I hopebthey bring them back in the dlc, that'd be sick. But they most likely won't 😭

[@eli_econemyestimated680]

@@niall_sandersonyou won’t believe this but there’s a staff in the dlc that works like that

Spears soon

[@bravoravenofpestilence1161]

thank you so much! :) i've been loving this weapons series. maybe you can do a similar one for sorceries and incantations since theres different groups? i feel like that would be a pain but always an idea if youre ever feeling extra bored and want to show the worst sorceries in the game lol@@monkwashere

[@jsnow5570]

​@@monkwashereHey man, huge fan, thanks for doing this it helps my first playthrough

[@derpysman2001]

Not choosing a flame affinity to make the Monk's Flame Flamemace is probably a crime

[@TheVeiledMonarch]

I did that or fire with Monk’s flameblade

[@BigHatLoganGaming]

About the warpick: back in the day it did in fact so strike damage, but that was a mistake. It should do pierce damage nowadays, according to patch notes, but they never updated the weapon info

[@mattlol6261]

yeah, the warpicks in the previous souls games all also deal piercing damage i believe

[@XxMichaelRayxX]

Devs gotta fix that man, frustrating.

[@BigHatLoganGaming]

@@mattlol6261 correct.

[@BigHatLoganGaming]

@@XxMichaelRayxX you right

[@DrRockso79]

Man, the gold/black design of the warpick looks so nice. I really wish they just made it a regular hammer with that look. The lack of refined looking hammers is one of my few gripes with the game.

[@apolloisnotashirt]

5:19 I believe that is the Dragon Towershield found in Farum Azula

[@ITBEurgava]

And probably closest you can get to iron tarkus ER cosplay

[@Tangent_Frank]

All the ds1 bois loving the Iron Tarkus cosplay. Absolute chad

[@Rhombae]

5:19 That is the Dragon Towershield, from a pretty out of the way chest in Farum Azula. And that madlad Tarkus cosplayer is literally the first time seen someone using that in pvp.

[@craigparse1439]

For ease of acquisition and ease of use, I'd go with the Morning Star. It wreaks havoc with the Chrystalian bosses! I usually put Flame of the Redmanes on it.

[@adamnave1078]

Also works against valiant gargoyles

[@GobPalRosieVT]

There's a spiked club demihuman under where you meet Kenneth for the first time too!

[@littlepotatogirl4837]

nox flowing hammer is the best hammer in teh game and is my go to weapon for pvp and some times pve its so fun to use. its got decent range for a hammer, great scaling, hits like a truck, and the ash of war is good for hitting multiple people at once. jsut gotta be a careful with it as if they dodge the ash of war your kind of a sitting duck for a second.

[@swordmastersam483]

I think Iron Tarkus was using the Manor Greatshield, in case anyone was curious. It can be found in Stormveil in the area with nobles on the way down to the Godwyn corpse.

[@LeoIsDIO]

I miss Warpick from Dark souls 1 💔, it was a underrated trading machine when it had pierce damage still.

[@leadfaun]

It still has pierce damage, but no AR.

[@lharsay]

@@leadfaun And it's also short, it used to be longer.

[@lharsay]

DS1 Warpick is nuts, I have a 16str 13dex 40int build on NG+6 and I always use a +15 Warpick on the DLC bosses because of their stupid elemental damage resistance, it melts Manus with basically no proper stat investment.

[@TheVeiledMonarch]

@@lharsayexcuse me, But Melting Manus? Dear God.

[@blakebailey22]

I appreciate you showing people where to find each weapon!

[@Diogenes68]

Fun fact: The stone club is not made from ordinary stone, rather it is hewn from solid glintstone.

[@AtrikStrike]

As soon as your Gold Breaker slam hit the ground you gave me an Ad. I hate marika

[@Mischievous_Moth]

Dude, Hammer is my favorite weapon class! I like to use a good ol' classic mace myself or a morning star if I want some bleed.

[@Anakthemutantmassenjoyer]

Is str/faith any good with them? Just started this game

[@40mm-Grenade]

Yeah they're good for when you want to invest heavily into faith because they have low requirements. Get the mace and put sacred blade on it or prayerful strike. The R2s are cool too.@@Anakthemutantmassenjoyer

[@smokinggnu6584]

Don't worry about the not uploading thing. Everyone needs a break, especially if it involves illness.

[@MF_DBcooper]

Great video! Glad to hear you are feeling better❤

[@michaeladams6124]

Not gonna lie, I went throughout almost the entire game with just the spiked bat and let me tell you; there was nothing funnier than slapping lions claw on it and bonking my way through everything I came across, with a few exceptions

[@michaelboyle7281]

I'm on my 4th playthrough doing melee only for all the bosses, and along with 2 curved swords I've also been usng the Mornng Star. Actually learning to dodge everymove and when to attack has been so rewarding, and I certainly would say the Morning Star is a simple but reliable weapon

[@Shadowslayer2013]

I think that the basic mace has better hyperarmor on the 1h and 2h r2s compared to the rest of the weapon class

[@Mr.RandomRando]

I would LOVE to see you do more invasions with some of the fun/funny weapons you've shown like the ringed finger

[@GerritTV187]

War pick and morning star are quite nice with wild strikes btw. Plus the spear Talisman when using war pick

[@ST._Trinas_Torch]

I personally prefer the monks flame hammer as an offhand to the monks flame blade. They look beautiful together

[@borisdragosani7584]

go bother chase the bro, please, i pass the TORCH to you

[@ST._Trinas_Torch]

@borisdragosani7584 beleive me, I have been for months now lmao, the St. Trina's Torch represents abundance, and dreams come true, we must share this torch and pester him together💜

[@BigHatLoganGaming]

Spiked clubs a favorite. I like doing "apocalyptic survivor" builds and it's a perfect weapon in both looks and moveset, though I do miss the nail bat look of the reinforced club a lot

[@EnvyTheRealest572]

I love these videos, its literally everything I want in a showcase

[@LucyQuinn99]

Marika's Hammer is BUSTED in 1.10

[@scubasteve3032]

I’ve made it all the way from ng+ to ng+6 with Marika’s Hammer. I did use Bloodhound Fang for certain bosses that are resistant to holy damage. Especially the end boss.

[@Pretzalcoatl]

One of my favorite setups is a heavy morning star with bloodflame blade and bloodhound’s step - it’s surprisingly effective

[@caliberkat]

29:27 this weapon is hella useful, but only if you're fighting anything that don't deal magic or holy damage.

[@patriciocavazos3483]

Hell yeah, one of my favorite weapon types

[@btarczy5067]

Morning Star with Sacred Blade may be the combination I used in the most playthroughs at one point or the other. And for a low level invasion playthrough that thing with Poisonous Mist is viable for a long time at +3. Combine it with a Bleed Repeating Thrust Antspur and you got a stew going! Nothing beats a bouquet of flowers hitting the floor with a chunky sound, of course! (We need a flower weapon with a Scarlet Rot-pooping Ash of War, come on From Soft! Also a weapon version of one of those exploding poison sacks that would turn us into a self-damaging walking bomb when we are poisoned)

[@markrobison5199]

Weird and fun fact about Knowledge Above All: the game treats it like a projectile, meaning some bosses will animation read it. I used it to bait Malenia's Waterfowl to pretty decent effect.

[@wilsonwallace8755]

🤣🤣🤣 whoever was in charge of the move sets for hammers is the man That foot stomp wind up kills me

[@shinobiofashina2168]

Actually the standard maces unique R2 has great weapon class hyper armour even while one handed it's great to use it with a off hand weapon because no one will expect you to be able to trade with a great weapons

[@smusky4643]

Honestly I love the great bubble horn. The small bubble horn isnt that good though. It's fun bubble showering people to death. People will always underestimate the power of a rain of bubbles, and if you catch them close and hit all of the bubbles, it melts people.

[@samfish2550]

Something that I've got to say can be pretty funny in pickaxe or anchor set to whatever gives you the most physical damage and set the ash to prayerful strike. Basically just auto win every trade to a comical degree.

[@pafunciobatista8244]

Iron Tarkus is a gigachad

[@leenotaf]

yay new monk video :D

[@xsovereign6]

Marika’s Hammer is my favorite, I’m currently doing a fai/str build with it as the weapon. With certain buffs I’m getting close to 2k damage from the skill

[@sadrerman]

before watching your video i was planning on making a Goblin Slayer build which also includes the wood club with the barbaric roar and man, it looks better than I expected

[@pyrowithoutgoggles1610]

Honestly, playing with the Envoy's horn myself, the best use for the ash of war is to blow 1-2 bubbles then become aggressive, the opponent almost always forgets how good the bubbles can track

[@williamwood5566]

Glad you got some boluses now man! That hybrid sickness can kick all our tails!

[@technewb8241]

[@bepkororoti8019]

Morning Star and Marika's Hammer are my faves

[@edward.constantine]

The morning star is my favorite weapon both in the Souls games and in real life. Swords are cool and all, but nothing beats a good, old fashioned bludgeon. Kinda wish it had A scaling with heavy on it, though...

[@theredeemer2974]

the scepter of the all knowing is actually a really good weapon, especially in duels

[@enessahin9289]

There is 2 category left to examine they are: Great hammers and Spears(i didn't mention 10 other category which is 3 Bows category,Crossbows,Ballistas,Glintstone staffs,Sacred seals,Torchs and Tools that have 4 damaging item(Wraith calling bell,Omen bairn,Regal omen bairn,Ancestral infant's head) and there is shileds too if you count

[@lordofsandvich3630]

the single problem with Prayerful Strike is actually just hit "jitter". Its hitbox is relatively small, and the disjointing effect of getting hit throws off its aim even if you poise through it.

[@Rhombae]

The term for that is aim punch, I believe

[@katunu6030]

I wish the warpick was yknow bigger. It reminded of the exploding pickaxe from Lies of P except very small.

[@callumv9758]

Honestly the only hammers I've liked is the dual rotten hammers. One with cold affinity and one with rot affinity and use lions claw as the main ash of war, get the procs off then lion claw for huge damage
