Can't wait for him to rank all bloodborne weapons

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

If you're talking about spell buffs, this is not true. The parting flame and the pyromancy flame both have better scaling in faith and intelligence. At max level the pyromancy flame has the highest spell buff at 242, then comes the parting flame at 226 and the demon scar sits right behind it at 220.

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.

My favourite out of all of the is definately Friede's scythe. 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. I deleted over half of Sister Friede's health bar because she couldn't do anything.

I did a demon fist play through and it was very fun. Even with PvP it was pretty fun since most players are not used to fighting against it. Then with how easy it is to get makes it pretty top tier.

The Artorias Greatsword for me is the best weapon due to its ability to stagger anything and the roll catches of the weapon art is great. Its not always a one shot but its a great vigor check.

This made me way happier then it should have but considering i just learned who the master of the Dragonslayer armour is it makes a lot of sense. Great vid!

Don't lock on to your enemy and bait them into the back stab and turn around right when they start rolling behind you. You will flatten 9/10 players and kill at least half of them in one shot. Been doing that with the BKUGS for years and the dragonslayer greataxe is even better at it.

I feel like astors spear at least esthetically would be great for a dark playthrough.... Really makes me wish we could infuse it.

Quality video all around! Not to mention very informational. Well done

Thank you so much for this. Very informative and entertaining

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.

farron greatsword is by far my fav you can strafe so many attacks and right eye is busted with it

Awesome production quality dude!

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!!!

Crystal sage rapier can slap pretty hard in PvE if you focus on spacing and proper ring use. People really don’t give it enough credit for the options having the Rapier Stance as its weapon art opens up. Also, an element you overlooked about friede’s scythe due to your low HP strategy is its poise, L2 into R1 combo is an excellent trading tool.

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. If you're the ultimate miser, it's perfect.

I know you didn't include bows and crossbows, but I still think Gael's crossbow might be one of the best weapons in the game.

the dancer curved swords being above the demon scar and the hollowslayer being so low considering how early you can get it and how versetile it is feels wrong to me.

The amount of work in this video is insane, you just earned a new follower my guy, cheers🎉

As someone who uses the Farron Greatsword a ton, the alternate attacks are actually really great for ducking under horizontal attacks and can be chained with normal attacks. So you can do 2 lights, then finish with the front flip chain finisher. Or you can do one normal attack then swap to the alternate moveset to duck under an attack. Its very tricky to use and definitely not meta, but its very flexible in practiced hands

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.

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?

These videos are fire brother!! Keep it up

My first playthrough of Dark Souls 3 was my first experience with any Souls game. Playing with some friends I got the Hollow slayer greatsword and used it through the whole game, found "stronger" weapons on later playthroughs, but it is still near and dear to my heart as my favorite weapon in the whole series. Imagine my joy when I finally tried out Dark Souls 2 and was treated to the surprise that it was an easter egg/reference the whole time :D

Bro why are there no views

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

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

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.

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

I really enjoyed learning how all of the weapons performed against the deacons

God this video is absolutely epic and I’m at minute 1. The editing is so cool. I hope this blows up please

These videos are so relaxing to watch

My favorite invader kill was with the Dragonslayer Greataxe's weaponart: they tried to climb a ladder with about 10 HP left, so I just ran under them and called down lightning on their head and watched them die. Truly satisfying.

I jsut started watching and watched the whole video, dayum it's a good one

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.

Yeah, I loved using the Dragonslayer Greataxe during my first playthrough. When I played the dlc and got to obtain and wear the actual armor, I was absolutely thrilled!

lorian greatsword was my baby on all my 5 playthroughs, i tried switching from it but i always came back to it for its insane damage and stagger, i was around level 250-300 so having capped strenght + 40 dex 40 faith and 40 int made it a beast, also it looked good with the firelink set

this is such a great video keep up this type of work!!!!!!

My first play through I used the dragon slayer great axe, and it took me to +3 before I ever needed to upgrade the weapon/ buff, a crazy weapon that made fall in love with this game

When I started playing dark souls 3, my first souls game, I was using the long sword until I got the irithyll straight sword from the outrider knight and I kept it until after the nameless king boss fight. Even after being maxed out, I found it's damage to be low. So I looked for a new weapon and saw the dragonslayer armour soul in my inventory and looked at the weapon I would get. I remembered his falling bolt attack and thought "If I can do that too..." soo I bought it, immediatelly maxxed it out and went to town. And HOLY SHIT THE DAMAGE IS INSANE, I literally blew through all the bosses that came after nameless such as aldritch and the soul of cinder, never struggled even for a second

So many years later and this game is still so friggin amazing

I will never forget that one time I did a build around the crystal sage rapier. Not a sorcerer build mind you, a melee build for that weapon. It was dreadful, peaking at an astonishing 82dmg per hit against the demon prince with all the shitty targeting inherent to thrusting attacks against weird body shapes.

I used the demon axe in my last playthrough, it was a blast. Literally and figuratively. That was my first boss weapon and I made a great choice. I loved fighting abyss watchers with it. I gotta try the fists next.
