Dude you are the one who turned me into soul games. A friend let me borrow dark souls one og and i hated it I couldn't play it then he told me to look you up. And that changed my life fr you showed me that this games are magical rewarding fun, and now I will not leave this franchise ever thank you for what you do and how you do it mad respect I love you cowboy I won't miss and eps
They changed the ancient meteroic ore Greatsword in the full release, needs 19 arcane instead of the 16 int now and has split physical/magic dmg with B scaling in strength and D in arcane
I did not realize the Finger ash was pretty much the closest thing strength build gets to Wave of Gold. Nice. Truly, it is time to try finger, but hole.
Watching this before getting to the end of the DLC because I’ve never really cared about spoilers for Souls games and seeing that last weapon has me scared as fuck lmao
@@MattDean-o1tthats for sure, but i would go as far as to say he is my second favourite souls boss ever. But he is HARD AS FUCK. Not as hard as malenia for me but other people have said he is infinitely harder.
I'm LOVING the black steel greathammer right now, swings fairly fast and the stagger potential on it is nuts, paired with wild strikes I'm having a blast!
@@troyyodellI'm running the fingerprint shield with great shield talisman, and the black knight great hammer. This trivializes most battles as I can block everything and guard counter or just bash.
They changed how the Lightspeed Slash looks. I prefer this one though. Kind of wish it threw out a bunch of clones before you slash down as well, just like the fight.
I main the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword. I love the lore of it being forged from a weapon of the “old gods”. Plus the flashy skill and speed are so fun!.
Extremely surprised you didn't add the highest AR strength weapon in the game that came with the DLC. The ANVIL HAMMER, crazy dmg weapon with a nice aoe weapon art. I'm at 2048 AR with it atm with about +12 on the DLC buff . Not sure you have the weapon though from the small snippet of your inventory. Another insane weapon to wield x2 is the Bloodfiends Blood arm colossal weapons with blood infusion. Does more dmg than the Anvil Hammer due to bleed. I used those to beat last boss on NG7+.
I really hate how now we have 3 same looking Radahn weapons, with 3 same attack strings, and all 3 scale with same stats with only ash of war being different. The "Lord" and "Light" weapons should've been 1 pair of weapons, but give them Stance as an AoW and then you use Consort or Lightspeed Slash based on input after : Stance R1 - Slash. Stance R2 - Consort. And then give us a proper 3rd reward from boss instead of this.
Sadly if you basically have any faith to go with that strength, you get much better damage with Flame Art infusion over Lightning (which is more Dex scaling). You also can't use Lightning Strike ash or lightning greases on it. Missed opportunity by From. For now my Mjolnir is a flaming hammer.
Dude its crazy to see how big your channel has gotten, i still remember watching your PS3 playthroughs on the system your buddy lent you (Demon Souls Drunk Through Lmao) Ah man that was back when i was still working at Starbucks oh how the times have changed
Lowkey the smithscript shield is so useful as a ranged option, c scaling with strength, I have it doing 800-1200 a throw on mobs (bit less on high resistance bosses). It has a 3fp cost and super low stam cost to throw, and it tracks your target amazingly. Threw on the fp regen talisman and it was essentially infinite.
I tried them all. My personal favorite was the putrescence cleaver.The ash can stun lock and proc frost. Plus it’s gotta be one of the most unique weapons in all of souls
Most of them are still good. I finished the dlc, bosses are fairly easy to poise break Spoiler alert Rellana, Messmer, Midra, Hippos and Romina are all very vulnerable to poise breaks if you know to play against them well
I love it when you upload videos! You have the best commentary. I can't handle other youtubers with the nonstop dad jokes while they're playing (joshfeed)
Favorite DEX weapons maybe? I hope there's some DEX weapon that's not Dex/Arc (because I'm not too much into bleed). DEX/INT, DEX/FAITH might be badass, but pure DEX would be amazing! The main game has 2-3 badass pure DEX katanas and a bunch of cool pure DEX weapons, but in general I feel like there are more pure STR than pure DEX and pure DEX are not as strong as quality DEX like DEX/INT and DEX/INT/STR (at the same level/points spent of course - 70 points into DEX with Hand of Malenia is ~60 damage weaker than 70 points spent into DEX/INT for Moonveil, even Meteoric Ore Blade which is more INT/STR has more damage at DEX/INT than Hand of Malenia)
My Favorite is Claws of Night, High Dex scaling claws that strong attack is a throw, does physical and magic damage. Ash of War is pretty much rock sling but higher damage and does pierce/magic damage. The backhand blades have too long of recovery for me to really enjoy, shame.
something nobody seems to be talking about is the sword lance heavy thrusting sword from commander gaius. s scaling in strength gives it 950 ar two handed with 64 strength. absolutely one of the best weapons in the game.
i never really used the ashes of war attacks on any weapons until the DLC and i have to say it makes life a whole lot easier dealing with normal enemies but i find for bosses i prefer just straight up normal damage and a fast weapon like metoric Katana (not the great Katana), its got a long reach and is very fast and has bleed damage and with some Ashes attached you can have Magic damage as well to get about 800 total damage per hit one handed.
I am using the Meteoric great sword and Ill say it has to be bugged on either PC or console. On console there is no INT requirement and rather there is an arcane requirement. Apparently the scaling if different between PC and console as well. Regardless im using it and its super fun.
The blood fiend arm be far is the most insane strength weapon rn B scaling in arcane with a 228 blood loss I suspect a nerf but still use it while it’s broken rn lol
Thanks my dude. Learnt so much from you over the years !Just starting seeing ur videos again . Great as usual . Just wanted to point out that at 80 str n 16 int I still get better heavy scaling with smithscript hammer 🔨 but I understand why you advised to make it cold as you can’t apply grease. Although if I increase my int it will scale better with cold so yr strategy will work better there
I'm just glad the Smithscript Greathammer isn't considered OP... Lessens the odds of a nerf that ruins it... performs as good as the Greatsword, plus the bonus throw, though Greatsword has the better moveset.
Started the DLC yesterday (firstly wow!) and I’m absolutely loving that feeling of fresh discovery again. Any suggestions for good strength weapons you can get early game?
I know this is weeks old but anvil hammer 🔨 def the best early weapon in my opinion. Str faith though . N meteoric ore GS is not that late in game . Still my fav 60% in
I just got my hand on the dragon great katana,and the dual magic light greatswords from the rellana boss remembrance. I'm looking for good builds for the great katanas and the new backhand blades
I farmed 2 of those lava swords from the snakes with the thought of maybe ill respect some time. Watching Cowboys let's play is making my lava tears burn a hole in my pocket
Black steel great hammer pairs really nicely with horah loux earthshaker. Aoe + range on a stagger friendly weapon is really useful for encountering different scenarios 👍
Radahns greatswords automatically become dual wield when you two hand them. You can dual wield by holding triangle + R1 if the weapon is in your right hand, L1 for left
What i wanna know is why did From Software decide to make the new colossal weapons having requirements for Faith, Int, and, Arcane? With a pure strength build putting points into those attributes to weild a singular weapon is retarded. Especially if you want a build and not a do everythig character
Fromsoft has never been after our wallets. You must be confused with every single other dev. Fromsoft is literally the only ones who arent trying to come after our wallets

Why does it have magic dmg when it doesnt scale with int???
That's what im saying it's so annoying have to spec 19 arcane.
@@hephaestus00000 Marais Executioner and Regalia are like that so it's not too far fetched.
Arcane can raise magic and fire for certain weapons

I absolutely loved the Anvil Hammer for my "Big Bonk" build. Poise break is a guarantee and although it's not flashy, it's AR is insane
I’m shocked. Smithscript great hammer and you didn’t lightning infuse? That was the prime chance to make a Thor build! Yeet Mjolnir!
It even looks exactly like historical Thor amulets, which Asatru practitioners still use to this day. Nice touch.
Sadly if you basically have any faith to go with that strength, you get much better damage with Flame Art infusion over Lightning (which is more Dex scaling). You also can't use Lightning Strike ash or lightning greases on it. Missed opportunity by From. For now my Mjolnir is a flaming hammer.

They nerfed lightspeed slash 😭. Now a jump attack does more damage 😭
i think they changed the Radahan light greatsword. Lightspeed slash is different and the scaling is C strength and C Dex now

Consider the Underground Roadside to properly showcase your weapons.
Hi Cowboy! Could you make a top 5 list for Quality DLC weapons?
were do i get the radahn ones?
Final boss. Have to duplicate remembrance to get both versions.
Didnt even know the meteoric ore had an AOE effect lol been using that the past 2 days
Metoric sword Weapon art will also will knock down most enemies
Metoer sword is ac6 assault armor in elden ring
shame the "arc's" on that last weapon are straight lines.low rez effects?
I was kinda hoping there would be something like the Twin knight paired gs from ds3 in the dlc :(
what’s a good build for the radahn swords
Is this in order?
On xbox the ash of war (light speed radahn) is built in different , its like lights of beams not slashed . So how??
They changed the “light radahn swords aow so instead of the “rolling light” its beams of light that shoot from above
Yeah its much better now imo
yoo question, can we get both radan swords or they are mutually exclusive?
Duplicate remembrance and get both.
beat metyr with the smithscript hammer its so fun
Black steel great hammer pairs really nicely with horah loux earthshaker. Aoe + range on a stagger friendly weapon is really useful for encountering different scenarios 👍
Does anyone know where smithscript greathammer is located?
Did you figure it out??
Taylew's ruined forge
im getting KH roxas vibes from the lord version of the radahn sword
i absolutely LOVE the gazing finger. it’s become my personal favorite weapon, it’s so silly
How are you dual wielding the weapons when you only have one? It's driving me crazy trying to find that out
Radahns greatswords automatically become dual wield when you two hand them. You can dual wield by holding triangle + R1 if the weapon is in your right hand, L1 for left
Some weapons have dual wield built in. Just have to two hand stance it to pull out the offhand weapon.
Throwable hammer?
Which is infusable?!
MJÖLNIR HERE I COME!!!!!!
Hey cowboy check out the fire knight great it's good bro and it smacks
So who was the dusk queen ? I haven’t found info on Melina , damn
So 2 of my favourite ashes of wars, lions claw and stormcaller get even better versions in the dlc? Ok
I like how the helmet matches the first weapon, solid fashion choice.
I was uo till 4am playing
I woke up at 1am to play before work at 5
> Buy strength weapon
> Look inside
> int/fai/arc requirement
Final boss greatswords are quality weapons now
so the greatsword still the best str weapon
THE GOAT RADAHN
Meteor one is the best!
Why tf did they change lightspeed slash
So what you’re saying is: the Ruined Greatsword is STILL the best strength build weapon? Lol
Can you make something about Great katana ?
sadly all variants of radahns greatsword suck in pvp because powers stanced colossal weapons are some of the worst
Hey, love you Cowboy.
Walkthrough please
He has a walkthrough run in progress on his channel.
See, I've been suspecting Miquela was the last boss but I don't see him using those swords, so idk now.
Then the Lord versions AoW sounds like that line from Miquela, so now I'm thinking it's him again but seeing a child use those is quite funny.
What i wanna know is why did From Software decide to make the new colossal weapons having requirements for Faith, Int, and, Arcane? With a pure strength build putting points into those attributes to weild a singular weapon is retarded. Especially if you want a build and not a do everythig character

Wallets for what? Is there a microtransaction here?
At last after nearly 10 hours already still not found anything for us beefy boi’s 😆
