Can't wait for him to rank all bloodborne weapons

[@snuppet]

Just got a ps5 over black friday sales, played bloodborne for the first time just a week ago, I WOULD do it if I can find the 60FPS jailbreak, as much as I have loved playing through this game, there is no way in hell I'm gonna play through it over 20 times at 30 FPS. For some people that is fine, but I just cannot do it. (EDIT) Alright, since alot of you can't see past the 30FPS issue. I will label other issues with making this video. Firstly, at 30FPS the framerate isnt the issue, but rather input delay, I have no problem with dealing with 30FPS, but the increased input delay can be rather disorientating. Secondly, without a jailbroken PS5, I have no access to freecam in bloodborne. Meaning all the intros to the video and each individual weapon will vanish (which is also my favourite part of these videos, and is what I believe to be one of the thriving factors of these videos that separates them from the rest). And lastly, even if I had access to these tools, the video wouldn't be out for a minimum of 9 months considering I want to do the DS1 and DS2 boss soul videos first, which the DS1 video will take about 3 months, and the DS2 will take up to 5 months. And if the Elden Ring DLC is released in the next couple of months, don't expect to see those videos until the second half of the year, or even until 2025 (if the channel lives on for that long).

[@GrouchyAsh]

Fun fact about the farron greatsword, its dual weild attack combo ducks under about 80% of attacks, basically anything that isn't a downward swing, lock on, or a grab is completely dodged by the first two inputs, the third one puts you in the air and is the only worthless part of it. Pontif basically cant hit you at all, and as thats what i used for up to like ng+4 i didn't know why people thought that fight was hard, casue he just never hits you

[@jakeforgey5378]

It took until the Silver Knights on the Anor Londo Cathedral Stairs for me to find out that "downward attacks" include swinging at an angle on an incline...

[@AnonymousStranger-zl4ju]

This sorry for being late but you are absolutely right i did the whole new game cycle on this weapon and realized it's true potential then and you know the only reason i didn't use it in my first playthrough, despite it having a cool moveset, is because people told me it has shit damage.

[@jakeforgey5378]

@@AnonymousStranger-zl4ju Ironically, overall it has shit Damage.. per second... it dishes out TONS of damage, just more of a sustained war of attrition rather than nuking off chunks of any Non-Abyss/Dark-Aligned character... Ironically I used it and summon signs to help out as a Fourth Abyss Watcher cosplayer fighting the Abyss Watchers... it WRECKS them...

[@thetimebeing4288]

I think that for the average player the Farron Greatsword would rank much higher, as most players are a bit more risky and more willing to trade hits, making the L1 move set a lot more viable. Because of the crazy movement, you can often avoid attacks while attacking, which is very strong. The extra 20% damage to demonic and abyssal enemies is also very nice

[@Stevemastersreason]

This thing auto dodges gael phase 1. Beat him first try with just spamming l1^^.

[@thetimebeing4288]

@@Stevemastersreason it’s so much fun as well, it feels like a dance

[@zacharydeguzman7377]

Deals crazy poise damage as well

[@matthewrobinson7575]

ALSO it is very versatile. I am not sure he knows that you have to do the whole combo to get the last attack of it

[@Fedorchik1536]

I consider myself an average player, and i despise Farron GS for it's low damage and bad moveset. it's cool AF, so it gets some style points.

[@linkmasterman1]

Something you didn't mention about the farron greatsword is that you can actually combo the l1 into and from regular attacks (l1>r1>r1, r1>l1>r1, etc), which makes the weapon a lot more flexible and probably would've made it rank better.

[@ednygma1096]

Also it scales better with 40/40 dex and strength at around 560 ar

[@Gojira_uz]

The L1 moveset also tends to circle around your opponent which makes them miss you often if you time it right, and on top of that since you duck so low when using it, can also quite easily dodge the majority of horizontal slashes that bosses go for! I believe this weapon should have ranked much higher because you'd be surprised at how many attacks you could go for just using the first two L1s of the weapon, especially while a boss is attacking you, not to mention the dagger staggers enemies and even bosses like Friede, locking them into an entire L1 L1 R1 combo with no risk whatsoever. All in all a great weapon for PVE, just try to avoid the third L1 input as you're basically guaranteed to eat a blow because of how long it takes to complete the animation on top of you being so high up in the air compared to the first 2 inputs.

[@featdirty1127]

It also has the damage bonus against Abyssal enemies like the Wolf Knights Greatsword, which he also didn’t mention

[@jakeforgey5378]

Amusingly, if you time the l1 correctly, it gives you I-frames like a Dodge occasionally does... meaning you have I-frames for the for up to the entire 3 hit combo, and using lock-on ensures you don't whiff the hit... it made it very nice... unfortunately the Ringed City update drastically reduced it to just the first strike, and made the timing extremely tough to use... but still possible...

[@user-ns4zm8qe9p]

Yeah the farron Greatsword is easily the best, just the fact the L1 makes you roll on the ground while attacking for 0 focus points combined with phenomenal damage with a quality build. Absolutely cranks stagger damage as well

[@rossalbane7743]

i gotta say it seems a bit unfair to rank a weapon while also excluding its ability to use spells. that'd be like ranking a weapon but not taking the weapon art into consideration, only focusing on its r1's and r2's

[@morales6224]

I get his intention with excluding the catalyst aspect of the spellcasting weapons but I agree that it misses a hell of a lot of the point of them.

[@snuppet]

This issue is, Im suddenly not ranking the weapon anymore, but rather the spells I use, which makes it useless to the list.

[@commanderkit-kat9314]

​@snuppet Honestly, no. Compare it to the other boss weapons which are compared already to similar Normal weapons, then compare it as a catalyst weapon to a comparable catalyst. Therefore you're not comparing the spells, just how good the boss weapon is in utility

[@rossalbane7743]

@@commanderkit-kat9314 you’ve found the words I couldn’t

[@bobchipman4473]

I feel like the catalyst ones, especially the demon scar, are artificially low on the ranking because their value as a catalyst was effectively ignored.

[@Echenster]

The fact that you can get Vordt's hammer so early is nice as well. I used it basically the entirety of my strength run.

[@riptide8562]

The frostbite build-up is nasty. Nobody expects it in pvp and it just melts in pve plus the skill lets you trade with some of the hardest hitting bosses in a pinch

[@jakfenix]

Plus you can reset the frostbite with any source of fire damage

[@riptide8562]

@jakfenix you know with all my time in the game you think that would be obvious but I guess I am just stupid. Tldr: WHAT I didn't know that

[@RealElevenTimes]

Sounds quite boring using the same weapon for that long. I switch weapons every couple of boss fights.

[@floatingchicken6770]

Farron Greatsword is my favourite boss souls. When i got it in my first playthrough, i thought it wouldn't be viable. Then, I practice not using lock on for l1 attack and if you position the attack correctly. You can dodge enemy attack and simultaneously damage them. I fought gael and sister friede with the weapon and felt so cool doing it. Crushing the dancefloor with breakdance.

[@Gojira_uz]

Exactly!

[@user-ns4zm8qe9p]

There’s nothing quite like being able to dodge and attack simultaneously, makes the tempo of the boss fights more like Sekiro

[@SeSmokki]

I love the Demon Scar. Once you're high enough level, it becomes the best pyromancer flame that also doubles as a pretty good sword.

[@matesdostal5208]

The Hollowslayer Greatsword deserves better, I think. It is absolutely amazing in the early game, performing really well on any dex or quality build. Also, since it is a greatsword, it shines in PVP for rollcatching. It also just looks super good.

[@jakeforgey5378]

[@Sir.Alonne]

Did you use the hollowslayer on a pure dex build? Because it's actually more quality leaning. It gains very slightly more damage than Gael's greatsword on a 40/40 build but you can push it further by leveling strength to 26 to hit 40 when two handing then put as many levels into dex as possible.

The moveset is great and more fluid than normal scythes, it has very good range, has frostbite buildup and it's really the only good weapon to go for a dex/int build. Something I also didn't see mentioned is that this weapon deals more poise damage than you would expect, it staggers and stunlocks more enemy types than most light weight weapons to the point that as long as you have the stamina they can't do anything.

It may not be great for pve but in pvp the demons scar may be one of the best weapons in the game. You could pull off some nasty combos between r1s and pyromancies. With max cast speed you could r1, roll catch with black snake, and then combo into CBV. You could also r1 into black flame which would melt players when using the right build.

Crystal sage rapier can slap pretty hard in PvE if you focus on spacing and proper ring use.

[@thekamotodragon]

on my sorcery run, i basically always had CSR in my offhand permanently, and it basically just made farming borderline unfair. it's a good counter poke weapon that could stagger smaller enemies, and it weighs nothing so there's no reason to not run it on int build as you make more off every encounter with it.

There's more crazy weapons in Elden ring that would destroy DS3

What a great video. Really appreciate the work you put into making it. I’m about to start my first ng+ and am thinking about using the Frayed Blade (purple = win, right). Also, really appreciate you narrating our experience.

[@shadowrxmpxge8905]

awesome video really goes in depth witch weapons are worth your time earned a sub. plus gives cool info on what they can and can't do.

propane greatsword ☠️

[@knivy6160]

I think the farron greatsword is a bit bit low imo. I'd recommend you NEVER do the last L1 attack, like ever. I found the combo of the first 2 L1's to be really good against a lot of enemies, and while kinda slow could rack up really good damage if spaced well. I find to space it right, you want to space yourself where the tip if the r1 would attack, or just outside of it's range. Then do two L1 attacks, and if possible follow up with an R1. Also maybe it's just me, but the fist parry, which the farron greatsword uses, I find way easier personally. I would put a pretty big asterisk, I think it scales pretty badly into the ringed city specifically. All of the bosses there both can't be parried, and from my run with it you could typically only get one L1 attack off, which means your damage fell off pretty hard, as the greatsword without the bonus dagger hit doesn't do the best damage.

[@daemontargaryen4725]

absolutely great ranking, ended my 1st run dragonslayer axe and been using that weapon for 3 runs straight cuz it's just that good!! loved it!!!

[@EduardoMagellan]

great editing. great video. great weapons

[@ChaserJonDoe]

Now rank them for pvp

[@ShjadeNexayre]

The presentation is excellent, but I can't help feeling the title is misleading. "Which DS3 Boss Soul Weapon Deals the Most Melee Damage in PvE?" seems more accurate since that's practically the only use case that's considered. Bringing the best weapon on this list to PvP is a good way to whiff every attack and look silly doing it (have literally never lost a duel vs that greataxe, especially the WA spammers who appear to mistakenly believe players will politely walk into it for them), and refusing to use the caster weapons as intended-bringing spells to augment your melee option-is like comparing weapons' quality only by how well they work wielded in your offhand. Using spells with weapons that enable spells isn't "not ranking the weapon anymore," it's judging the totality of the utility the weapon brings with it as opposed to only looking at "how good do it slap?" Spellcasting weapons enable things unique to them, like comboing directly into spells as a part of your melee chain, or linking out of a spell into melee after a spell that staggers, etc. Ignoring all that with "it doesn't count because it involved spells" may as well invalidate the consideration entirely. You could've just excluded them from your list in the first place if you never planned to use the tools they offer, or ignored all the weapon arts on all of these weapons to make it purely about their use as swingy sticks. But what's the point of that?

Ye fr

[@slimshadythe111]

Great video. Been snacking on it for 3 days. It made me wanna play DS3 again.

[@martijn769]

Hey man this video is awesome and i love the insane amount of effort you put into this. Which you deserve huge praise for, cause these ds3 video's are rare these days. buuuuut man, that intro music was kinda hard on my ears. No hate, just my honest opinion. Cheers mate. Subbed btw

[@monteriostewart5526]

I almost went def at the beginning of the video

[@snuppet]

just how we like it

[@MightyGalacticVIII]

Bro why are there no views

[@sir.spaguet5799]

Man this takes me back, loved the reaction of the nuclear warhead I had the same when I got it and used, gonna install DS3 again after this hahaha

[@colinclement2752]

Your editing skills are legit

[@faintbunny2624]

Look I’m not trying to be a hater or an asshole but from someone with 3000+ hours on ds3 and with thousands of invasions under my belt, this might be one of the worst scale lists I’ve ever seen, I under your more directing these opinions to pve but omg, putting champ’s halbert under wolners holy gs was one of the worst ds takes ever, I’m sure this list took a lot of time and effort and I commend you for that, but I feel like your opinions on certain weapons and abilities is so subjective and situational and newer players witching videos like this and seeing you rate some weapons so low will really mislead people, I’m not trying to yap any longer

[@C1yde902]

Completely agree. I only have like 1k hours and have only used about a third of these weapons and can tell this list is 100% bullshit. You can see on-screen some of the weapons in the 20s doing better damage than those in the top 10, and most of his explanations make absolutely zero sense. Like, he seems to think that split scaling is somehow a good thing? “Damage Split allows the weapon to be decent against any enemy in the game” wtf is he talking about? Anybody who’s played through the game a few times, let alone 29 TIMES, knows split scaling is worse than single element types. Also, the fact that he refused to use spells on catalyst hybrid weapons is just infuriating… I mean, that’s literally what they’re for? I have to stop watching these horrendous soulsborne ranking videos, they’re all low-effort slop istg

[@kestkey]

@@C1yde902 dont cry honey, go to DD2

[@antoniusfudgepacker4318]

The worst part is it's somehow not low effort slop, like imagine playing through 29 fucking times with a single weapon each time and... what? Either somehow use it wrong the entire time like a brainless zombie, or go through all that effort just to waste it and not think about the list for more than 2 minutes when finally putting it together lmfao.

[@colbiashimaru]

Yeah I didnt want to be negative either, but with maybe 800 hours in ds3 and thousands spread from the other games, I didnt expect something like the farron greatsword to be placed so low. I wouldnt say its the best, but certainly not that far back. I feel like a beginner would also have a better time with it. As for what someone said about him saying split scaling is good, he only thinks it is good because he had to beat every boss with the weapon, even the ones where they were resistant, so I feel like his ranking is moreso “ranking the boss weapons on how hard it is to use that weapon and only that weapon for the entire run” because that is pretty much what he is ranking, which is just kind of misleading considering the fact that the video doesnt say that, it says “what is the best ds3 boss weapon” or whatever. I think this video has a place, maybe just not under this title, and maybe he needs to understand the game in a different vein, because there is obviously something missing

[@hillelkrieger]

sick video dude
