“It was too big to be called a sword…” so we call it zweihander.

The word is taken from german which translated basically means two handed

Every time I play a souls game I’m like “no zwei this time” and without fail I immediately fall back in love with it

[@leoncoben6983]

I'm the opposite, every souls game I start up, I'm immediately asking, "Where is Zwei?" Imagine my joy when I got a drop from those spiders in DS2 and got to dual wield two of them at once. I want that again.

[@IntertwiningRoses]

This is why I like DS3 and Elden Ring more than the others. They gave me a reason not to just build a pure meatman

@@BlueMagicONISUPERNOVA Yep, he and the one in Dark Root Garden.

Let’s just say there’s a fricken reason every speedrunner resets when they don’t get the black knight halberd to drop from the knight in the garden. Best weapon in the fricken game.

[@PattyPieCry]

@@urticantspoon9960 Not only it has monstrous range but for a great weapon it’s surprisingly light on the moves. Compared to BKGS and BKGA it’s really fast.

[@lohnjanders]

[@AstroGranie123]

Dodging was invented in 1800 Ppl before 1800:

[@RepublicofODLUM]

What? Everyone knows Miyazaki invented dodging, what're you on about.

[@emeraldlipz1218]

I believvveeeee hes implying that dodging, was no where to be found in this video. Even from the invader 😂

[@Onewingedangle42]

@@emeraldlipz1218no he’s definitely saying that the alternative to dodging is having the zweewee sword

[@elikyiael8740]

fun fact : boxers in ancient times didn't have weight classes, nor did they have real techniques like dodging or weaving out of the way it was until what would be considered a middle weight fighter dodge (and became somewhat a champion in his sport) that it was adopted by other boxers you can verify this on google (boxer+dodge+history) (my apolodgies if it's a false memory of mine

[@blakepuntervold3165]

The zweihander has probably saved more lives than any other weapon in DS1, I remember I kept it as my backup for anything that gave me a really hard time

[@uzzionpathak2637]

I'd argue Black Knight Halberd is more reliable, Zwei carries it's weight after getting above +10, more so because you can get the BKH to 3+ while still in Parish. Plus starting as a thief really let's you get just enough stats to two hand it before the Gargs, which is enough to two shot the Gargs. Not to mention the extra damage against demons really helps obliterates Queelag too. Late game it is outshined by a vast majority of weapons in terms of raw damage but it's low weight and fast attack allows you to drop some armor and keep fastrolling. I've completed the game without armor in 1 hr 10 mins glitchless and BKH was the secret, do try it out sometime.

[@rsBadro]

BKH drop chance is low, everyone know its op

[@Mochichu22]

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

It also helps that it reminds me of one of my favorite manga series: Claymore.

[@KampfspieleTV]

Love the Clay too but it lacks a heavy thrusting attack in DS1 sadly...

[@AdamOwenBrowning]

no thrust and it's nowhere near as l0ng just wish that elden ring didnt spit on em. greatswords/ugs swing too slow for their dmg/poise dmg beyond ds1

“Why does everyone love Zweihander?” it's simple. Monkey brain likes sticks. Zweihander is giant metal stick. What's not to like?

[@dravenvaramai6377]

Zwei is nice but for some reason I always go Claymore. I know I'm not alone there.

[@Falconhawk3784]

Claymore is less slow to me (not that its a fast sword at all), Zwei feels like I have to wait 10 minutes before my swing finishes, idk it was never my thing.

[@duncanedgin9433]

I love the claymore. So much that I have a hard time playing with other weapons or using faith/int builds

[@blueninjanoname7338]

I went with claymore too, it's because I like to use a shield and using the Z one handed requires higher STR stat.

[@berzeck0]

I always go zwei and claymore together with a strenght build. Zwei for bonking and claymore for the backstabs and parry

[@ethanjayasooriya4073]

​@doomtrooper3184 Zweihander can be found right away, and uses basic materials to upgrade. Plus, since it scales off both Str and Dex in its standard form, it remains viable to have pyromancy as a side option.

Something I really like about the zwëihander is the little AoE it has on the R2 attack, even if you miss the attack the stomp on the ground will hit your target and damage it a little, it can also stagger some enemies (and it gets even greater if infused with lightning)

[@joshuakrueger3392]
