You know what I've learned from watching YouTube? Every weapon is the best weapon in elden ring.

The duality of the Noble's Slender Sword: when you don't want it, it will be dropped by the second enemy who carries it. When you're trying to farm it, it will take no less than two hours.

I absolutely love the moveset of straight swords. Powerstance is just very satisfying, imo

Don't apologize for taking your time man, the updates messed your plans up so you had to work on it more than you expected.clear and informative, it was a great video as always. Thank you!

From an straight sword main, this are some of its pros: >The ash of war "square off" of regular straight swords is unique to straigh swords, the heavy attack of this ash of war deals 40 poise/stagger(the same as hammers and colossal swords fully charged attack) and can stagger most bosses on 2 or 3 attacks if you are quick enough. The light attack of the ash of war breaks enemy shield guard. >When dual wielding, It has a quick move set(like katanas) but scales with strenght, which is a good option if you like fast attacks on an strenght build

I started as a confessor because I knew I would go for some holy knight build. Got the brass shield ans lordsworn's straight sword at the very beginning. Those 2 weapons carried me to the end. Barricade for one and holy infusion for the other. I later added the hammer (also holy infused) to my arsenal (and a seal). I now know I will take the epitaph for NG+/DLC in case of undead.

Regarding Last Rites on the Golden Epitaph. It's actually kind of amazing for dealing with undead. The weapon skill applies to ALL weapons, which means you can cast the skill, switch to something else (DMGS anyone?) and get the +100% damage against undead on the switched-in weapon. Kind of bonkers in practice. No other skill/spell/item does this, so the weapon becomes kind of unique if your goal is dealing with undead. Plus Carian Filigreed Crest can reduce the cost, making it a good alternative to golden vow for longer dungeons.

How can you make a straight sword video without mentioning the Square-Off ash of war. This ash is absolutely bonkers. It staggers almost all bosses in two casts and does crazy damage. The first time I beat the game I just spammed this ash over and over and it never failed

Man ever since Dark Souls 1 the humble Longsword has always carried me through. In both DS1 and DS3 I used a sword and board longsword build all the way through the game (Dark Souls 2 changed the move set on the longsword, so I went colossal weapons in that game). Same with Elden Ring, though I swapped out my longsword for the Night and Fire when I found it. Even when it was nerfed, Night and Fire carried me to the the Elden Throne.

For a stagger build with strait swords, an ammazing (and really fun) choice is the stand off ash of war, the light attack is amazing for blocking enemies and the heavy attack has great damage and insane stagger damage alongside an incredibly low fp cost

So glad this series is continued!

Yay!!!! Thanks for sticking with it and delivering this long-awaited video! I’ve watch the whole series more times than I can count. They are my favorite series of videos on Elden Ring.

Sword of night and Flame you could also look at the Golden Order Seal for Int+Faith scaling incantations or the Gelmir Glintstone Staff as another Int+Faith scaling staff that boosts Magma instead of Death sorceries. (could even have both Golden Order Seal and Gelmir Glintstone Staff as a Pyro+Magma caster that will get really good mileage out of Flame Grant me Strength)

You give me joy everytime I see these videos they make me want to keep playing elden ring just because of the moments like this

I played the last third of my first playthrough as a Str/Faith spellblade with incantation infusions and one handed a Square Off Longsword. Just something about a single sword knight taking on the world did it for me. Loved it so much I made it a point to finish off the Elden Beast with a Square Off R2.

Don't sleep on St. Trina's sword (pun very much intended). I ran it on my black knife build paired with a lightning misrecord, free staggers and crits all over the place.

My friend and I got the coded sword very early this in the game by using the trap chest to the capital. We abused the fall damage immunity that critical hit animation gives and we explored parts of the capital way earlier than intended 😅

I recently started a new game to do a knight build and ive been having a blast i love how some moves literally dodge or somehow block attacks sometimes. i also like how you can go from slashing to a poke it’s great

12:25 when you dual wield it they have a unique jumping light attack
