wow I can't believe they finally did it
There must have been comments asking for this for years, I always saw them down here in the comments section. Good job guys.
Sponsorship probably helped too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+VaatiVidya THANK GOD IT LOOKS SO COOL TOO ARTORIAS WOULD BE PROUD
+VaatiVidya Yeah they took a while to do it, people have been asking them for years.
Also Vaati you are great keep up the good work
Vaati did you see the saw cleaver as well?
+VaatiVidya Love your videos man. Keep up the good work.
+VaatiVidya Found you ;)
*"you cannot use this weapon effectively with your present stats"*
ha
lol
+Gerome Rebollido
gg well played
+Gerome Rebollido woulve loved it if they brought a super buffed guy to mimic the original moveset of the sword, but nontheless this is an awesome peace of smithery and kudos to the guys for making such a spectacular copy of this sword
you can if you a superman
Ilya to customer after they buy this: “prithee be careful. Don’t want to see my work squandered.”
You forgot the "HEHEHE" part
I shouted "Prithee be careful half way through the video
Hah hah hah hahahahah
Alternatively, it'd be "Don't get yourself killed. Neither of us wants to see you go hollow."
I want to see my work collapsed.
Now if someone knows about that quote you get some respect.
they edited out the part where they used the soul of Sif
Theyre trying to keep the video family friendly.
And they didn’t show the giant
@@Casperski1312 how is that non kid friendly
@@playerstudio7181 harvesting the soul of a dog isn't my idea of family friendly. Idk what to tell you.
@@Casperski1312 in context its really not that bad,
It's an item you get for defeating a boss that when used gives the player souls (money)
"Hand it over...that thing....your artorias greatsword...."
This is a very underrated comment.
@@backintheblues4590 gael still is beating my ass for the dark soul, I gave it to him and he still wont stop...
“For my pvp cosplay”
@Steven Murphy process:
1) make the executioner greatsword
2) brake it
3)???
4) profit
What? Still here?
Now use it one handed while doing flips.
Also be around 10 to 12 feet tall and train your entire life to use it.
You have to two hand it to do a flip though...
@@fakefirstnamefakelastname4324 Not if ur Artorias you don't
With a broken arm
@@fakefirstnamefakelastname4324 I hope ManAtArms will built Leonardo's pair of katanas
A thousand years from now, after modern civilization has collapsed, some adventurer will find this sword in the collection of some wealthy guy in a vault somewhere.
He will belive he has found a lost legendary weapon of a bygone age.
He will be right.
I swear to God I was about to comment something similar. I'll just like yours instead.
I will think it's real lol
He will be corrupted by the abyss
Naaaah he’s rich he probably puts all his stats to luck he doesn’t have the right stats
He will be more than right my friend
Artorias is more than a damn legend
Artorias after watching this:
"This sword was made to destroy abyss, not consumable products and some taped hollows"
true
well.. maybe that's an abyss milk jugg
@@noctorious9520 the reason why the dads never come back when they go out for milk
The got lost in the abyss
yeah well it didn't do that good a job at _protecting_ you from the abyss, now did it.
your weapon: 300 pound sword
your foe: milk jugg
The *real* foe: gravity
That's the one thing I don't like about this channel
Sanic the Hedgehog what that they abuse food
@@morganpriest7726 fr tho
Is that the real weight?
"Strong I am, forge I can" Giant Blacksmith
Cometh soon 😭
Do you mean giant yoda
Dead I am live I can't
*Nighty Night*
I made this 777 no one change it ever
These guys had to two hand it during the demo because they don't have 24 STR.
Alchemy Phoenix who onehands greatswords?
Actually there are a lot of people that can onehand greatswords, like artorias, guts from bezerk, that one goat monster from sword art online, and that is all i can think of. I could be wrong, tho
attacking salmon yeah the joke was about dark souls 3 mechanics not about characters using it.
@@ArstotzkaEmpire oh sorry for messing the joke up
Fecken Dex users!
Imagine going back in time and leaving this sword by the edge of a forest next to a village, I would love to see someone in the medieval ages reaction to it.
They would probably think it's some legendary demigod sword or something.
@@DorkSoulsTroglyditethey wouldnt be wrong
How can you dislike this? That’s an insane amount of skills and man hours
people who cannot use this weapon effectively with their present stats
I think it might be because of the missing a few details but either way it still looks pretty good they did a good job
they killed sif to make it :(
I mean because of UA-cam you can’t anymore lol
@@bestsouls2446 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Now try effortlessly front flipping 15 feet in the air with that thing, that gives you a sense of how strong artorias is, and he was using his right hand (artorias is left handed)
Also adding, he's body was pretty much broke for fighting Manus, and he still was able to do all that.
That actually just gives you a sense of how little care for realism and physics was given by the designers... ;P
Which in itself is neither bad nor good since it is a work of fantasy.
Now think about the fact that Artorias himself is about ten feet tall, and the version of the sword you get is only as big as you. The one he uses in his fight with you? Damn close to, if not more, than ten feet long.
your amazement for a fictive character is.... amazing
But his sword is probably not made of steel, maybe it's some fantasy substance that's really lightweight.
If Andre of Astora ever dies, Ilya of Man at Arms will take his place
Andre is undead and probably will never go hollow since he has a purpose
Don't worry my dumbass killed André on 1st run :'D
@@ingridevavillanueva735i doubt, he can't Even be killed he respawn and keep bitching about how u hurt him
I killed him in my first save
lol didn't the giant from anor londo make the weapon?
17:08
I have no doubt that Smough can wield Artorias's sword
The thicc executioner's weapon require 2 time more strengh to wield !
just not very effectively cuz he lvls strength like a casul.
😂
Slav Knight sounds like a dex user
@@easton2583 just like me
6:34 Ilya's speech about the tradition of demigods and monsters and our fascination towards them really gave me shivers. It really goes to show Miyazaki done an excellent job of crafting the Soulsborne lore and atmosphere.
I'm guessing they don't have the proper stats to wield it yet.
EonKnight321
Casuls.
bob biscuit Git gud
They put everything into dex
this is what you get running full dex
The Smiths of Gwyn working hard
by the gods, they worked till their blood dried and their souls turned dark only to crush a muskmelon and a milk carton by the end. Praise the sun!
@frank grimes What about our giant smith in dark souls 1 who you find dead with the giants coal in dark souls 3 he can make it aswell just not in dark souls 3.
@@firstname1700 Well, is he a smith of Gwyn or not? Hell, his workshop is in Anor Londo.
Can we talk about the fact that Artorias fought the chosen undead not only with this gargantuan blade he did it one handed, in his off hand.
Fun fact, the guy who carried this thing around did so ONE-HANDED. He also carried around a massive shield for the other hand. All that, and he was somehow the most skilled, athletic swordsman to ever live. Artorias was huge, and not only strong, but incredibly dextrous.
Insane.
Now do a flip with this Greatsword too!
The Nameless King's dragonslayer swordspear would be amazing.
Id love to see that.
The Firelink Sword would be much more epic
+Mohamed Daher How would they make it sharp tho? its all coiled up with no sharp parts.
Foxish its like the jagd commando dagger its a twisted blade that were sharpened after they were forged together it could be the same principle could use a belt sander or go oldschool and use a whettstone itll take a while but itll happen
The firelink greatsword is visibly blunt in-game. It functions more as a strike weapon.
Cool, but they probably killed Sif in the process of making this
Yea i bet no one notice that
Well there's no other way to get it without that boss soul.
Nobodymwants to kill him yet we all had to
But it’s the true version. Wouldn’t they only need to ascend broken straight sword hilt +10?
@@gargacaloid6601 the soul of sif is still required. Also Sif is a mandatory fight since you also get the ring that let's you Abyss walk.
personally, I'd love to see the moonlight greatsword get done as well.
I just wanna see a big glowy looking blade.
Almost 5 years later, this is still mesmerizing.
When you realize that Artorias was able to use it with his right hand only ( which is not his fighting arm )
waw he was right handed bro. when you think about it
his shield was broken completely and so was his arm, it'd make alot more sense if his shield was in his left (since that's the arm that took the full blow ) and the blow struck him down breaking his shield and arm. plus when you look at his stances when he fights you was it kinda needs a shield to be complete(in the left that is).
or you know he could be ambidextrous
@@mr.x8468 nope hes right handed
@@aarroad574 *left handed
Him being right handed makes more sense. His armour has a big pauldron on the left and none one the right, typically you'd want the extra defense on the side you are blocking with, and more freedom of movement on the arm that swings a weapon.
Shows us how much of a badass he is
>They can't lift and swing the sword freely
>Notices their effort in simply holding it, even with two hands.
Git gud or git out
Michael Tarantino iz becuz they don't even praise the sun
Generic Memes strength not high enough
They should hire *The Mountain* (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) From game of Thrones to come and wield these epic large weapons. He would make all these people look like little people standing next to them. 6'9'' 390 Pounds of muscle.
Generic Memes Filthy casuals
Generic Memes they're smiths, not greek gods of war
17:08
Even Executioner Smough is fond of this sword.
*picks up sword and words appear above the person head* "not enough dexterity"
Ilya is the real MVP here.
Ilya is the mvp on almost every build
Project_Worm True.
Was just about to say, I don't like to pick favorites, but Ilya is my favorite.
he does pretty well. did you see him on forged in fire?
+Audun Fjellanger a show on the history channel. they first had to make a knife using scrap metal, the the final two made a spiked shield. Ilya won
insufficient strength to use this weapon
Try Two-handing?
Nah Insufficient Intelligence xD
Insufficient Badass/demigod DNA
ApexGEEK I would believe demigod DNA is likely to include strenght so he wasnt all wrong xD
I know nothing of his badass levels though
It's too heavy for half swording even.
17:10

Thats the old manikin mask from dark souls 2

Teach your dog to carry it in it's mouth
and you realize that your dog is a pug
I agree
With
(And u realize that youre dog is a pug?)
I just wonder a husky can carry it
You lack the skills required to use this weapon effectively
+CoastConcepts F*cking Faith and Intelligence requirements !
+CoastConcepts Hah! i was thinking the same thing!
+CoastConcepts even on two-handed they still can't use it, keep farming!
eagle3zio IKR
+CoastConcepts it seems they need to git gud ;) 40 STR should be enough
i love how the greatsword had the straight sword moveset in the promo.
Y’all did it again! Every time I see one of your reforged episodes I am hungry for more! This sword is exquisitely made. You all are gifted craftsmen.
why arent they doing any flips?
DEX too low
lol.
Yuki Hana spent too much souls on buying it and he couldnt even upgrade his dex stat
0/10 no flipping attack
+Pivoltz LOL IKR
git gud
i hope you don't mean it. that thing looks to be like 70 pounds(roughly 50kg correct me if i am wrong)
+Berky Berkelaar its 31.82 in kg
+Berky Berkelaar It's just a joke
15:07 - "It's gonna have some "epoxy" at the end to make sure everything stays permanently" ..... Scene then cuts to him using a hot glue gun.... lmfao
This has to be best build you guys have done, Artorias has hands down the best video game lore of any character period.
Now you guys need to make the Dragon's Tooth
they'd have to make it hollow [TRIGGERED] to even think about carrying it
that would be awesome
I recommend you to go to the museum and get one.
What museum has a dragon skeleton? I'd love to see that.
Carl Bernroth aldias keep.
Well, they finally did it. They made the sword that's been massively requested throughout all of their previous videos. And what did we get at the end? An extremely beautiful blade. They've come a long way since the Buster Sword, and it definitely shows here.
Agreed!
+TankMunky well, the Buster Sword was made by a different Group of People :P
Praise the STAGMIRE!
I think he talks about the series in general, how the episodes went from a 10min max format with cnc or hand-cutted steel sheets to a more complex and actual blacksmithing show. Making their own ore, using damascus, engraving, composite blades... episodes as" hattori hanzo katana build" wich are around twice as long show this evolution :p
+TankMunky And i think it shows why they were reluctant to make this for a while. It took a lot of work and a lot of different techniques to get it right.
On the other hand, i´ve rarely seen them struggle so much to even lift a sword, to the point where none of them could swing it anymore. I guess thats why they dont do the Dragonslayer.
3:35 Oh andre what's up !
This is probably the best weapon that they’ve made. It looks straight out of the game
none of them has the STR and DEX reqs. to wield it propperly.
lol , neither does my character .
LOL
😂😂😂
DEX is 4 n00bs u casul scrub :"D
PortalTHUNDER V Dex is for Pyromancers , git gud .
MAKE THE FUME ULTRA GREATSWORD I DARE YOU
lol they probably cant carry it
not enough points in strength
Smoughs hammer
Jamz boy. i doubt they can carry that too
How to snap your back in a single swing
These guys are great! I only wish that we could get longer episodes, maybe get in more detail on the steps, or simply showing them without speeding up! It's such a beautiful and rare artisan work that I believe it should be appreciate in all its entirety
ive been watching man at arms for 4 years now..this has got to be by fav build of theirs
Now do Ornstein's Dragonslayer spear from Dark Souls, too!!
yes
the sword in the thumbnail on the left is CLEARLY NOT the Artorias Great sword, it's the black knight sword
+Andrés Cifuentes yes. yes. yes. a thousand times yes.
Either Ornstein's spear or the Black Knight Halberd would make me a really happy dude.
+Andrés Cifuentes i was thinking the same while i was watching the video :)
Archer's twin swords Kansho & Bakuya from Fate/Stay Night.
YES
i need to see that
+Rondorix The lore for them is that they're based off of Ying and Yang.
they definitely need to make them
That's a must
6:29 is some good commentary, well explained
Don't you love getting into a new series and looking at all the Man at Arms builds you missed from it?
just shut up and take my souls!
looool good one
Here!Boss soul! *NOW GIVE ME THE FUCKEN SWORD!!!!*
that sword gives me conniptions.
Why would it Hawkwood? This is the sword of the guy who inspired your legion :o
Voxl _ *impersonating hawkwood*
Exactly a man powerful enough to wield that weapon like a dagger,and a will of steel to match, if something or someone can drive a man like that insane, I don't ever want to meet it, that thought alone gives me conniptions,of what really lies in the abyss.
mr. reality Wait hawkwood one handed the farron greatsword too right?
The Cursed Artorias Greatsword...the sword that made me go out of my way to level Dex, Faith, and Intelligence to use it on my first playthrough. It was worth it at the time, wouldn't do it again
Love the Greatsword. Truly a work of art in every way. It's always cool when the video has more views then the actual numbe of subs on the channel.
this isnt from darksouls... i didnt see anyone of them rolling around before attacking
XD
yeah your right
+wanderingbufoon They also needed the "What is it ?" taunt before striking.
+wanderingbufoon With the sword and armor..Man at Arms+House..XD
They are fat Rolling with this massive greatsword
Next up: fume ultra greatsword
Fuckin impossible, you'd need a pully system just to get it off the ground.
Magneto just get ur strength up to 50
BUFF THE FUGS
Sunlight Straightsword aka Solaire's sword
So literally just take a slab of rock and chisel it down?
Then find a powerlifter and make them pick the thing up
This was incredible, dark souls has so many great works of art. I would love to see the barbed sword, and or the dragonslayer spear too.
If that’s how big a normal greatsword is I don’t even want to picture an ultra like the Cathedral Knight Greatsword
*Fume*. *Ultra*. *Greatsword*
They’re both fairy the same size. If anything the fume seems smaller than some ultras
@@gusbrown8223 yeah, but the weight.....
Yeah it would be heavier but I’m talking about size. Big difference
I have a challenge for you do smough's hammer
Nope Fankyew Oh, that would be awesome!
What about the sword of Yhorm The Giant?
its not hard really its litterally just a mass of metal only problem would be that its not possibly liftable and there really isnt a proper material for the handle, unless they get crafty and make a way lighter material for the hammer head and a proper metal handle. but then it kinda loses the smough's hammer charm.
Dudeo Matt or possibly made it hollow
BEWM MR-MINGLES
They'd probably make it hollow like they did with Thor's hammer
It doesn't look like they have the necessary stat requirements to wield the blade. Must be lacking; 24 str, 18, dex, 20 int, 20 faith.
They also didn't use a +10 Broken Straight Sword, or a +10 Hilt, or have a Giant Blacksmith, or even offer any souls.
Calling Bullshit/10.
Hahahahaha
+LINKAG3 Still they Engaged In Jolly Cooperation! Praise The Sun!
+LINKAG3 to be fair, they would've ended up having to level up dex to reach those stats.
i lel'd
I was mad until I started the second sentence. Well played.
I remember when I first watched this, I thought it was cool but didn't know much about the game. This year I have watched several playthroughs of these games and have gained a deeper appreciation for these Fromsoft game builds. Such an iconic blade and so perfectly recreated.
A true work of art right there in terms of cutlery and weaponry.
You guys should give stats about each weapon after its finished. Like how much it weighs and how tall it is. Stuff like that. Cause this one looked heavy AF
I was thinking the same :)
Agreed
+TheJdawgBomb "Artorias GREATsword"
+TheJdawgBomb Yeah, for one of them, it looked like they were holding the blade until the downswing started.
17:16
+TheJdawgBomb They don't call it a GREATsword for nothing.
They could've just made it with a +10 straight sword hilt.
They also need the soul of sif
Hold up they killed Sif
@@carsonsims6365 ….sadly, most of us did
I made mine with a broken straight sword
Thank you very much for forging it. I never had a NES, snes or a PlayStation. Bought a PS3 with my first Paycheck. Played Dark Souls and felt like a Dream come true. This sword in real live means a lot for me.
Receiving and spending your first actual pay check is really memorable isn't it
vexile12 yes
That’s amazing, I wish I could see it up front and close !
whats crazy is he swings it around like a feather in his OFF hand
Leafy Tree That gives you a sense how strong Artorias is.
Don't forget while his whole body is broke as hell.
And he was using his off hand.

+Ilya Alekseyev а какую музыку лично ты слушаешь в процессе работы? Я увидел, что ты используешь наушники, наверное, слушаешь что-то эпичное для поднятия боевого духа!
+Ilya Alekseyev great video! do you know how much the sword weighed in the finished product?
+Kanyime what music is this?
Love the piece! Also I think the abyss watchers sword would be another great piece!
