Poise is your overall resistance to being staggered, attack interrupted, or knocked over, with the bull-goat set making you practically immune to all staggers, knockdowns and attack interruptions.
Just to note @12:05 - Its not "Svheel". Its "Tsvai" - The "Ts" is said together to make a strong "Ss" sound. Followed by a "Vai" (like Steve Vai - The guitarist). There is no "L" in the word. Zwei - German for 2. Its literally the German word for "2-Hander". Lol Great video! Take my like!
@@TheRatMan1988 I'm not sure what you mean by this... But no... The Zweihander literally predates the 1500s... There are literal depictions of it used during the Battle of Kappel in 1548 when it rose to prominence as an anti-Pike weapon. We know its earliest usage was during the Italian Wars in 1494.

Dragonbarrow Cave (Caelid) = the big bear right at the beginning = there is only one brief moment when he really only briefly goes back in the direction of his own cave and that is the only moment where you can quickly past him further into the main cave ... if you miss this moment, good luck
Easily cheesed - if you use ranged attacks from the end of the opening tunnel, you can predict its attacks enough to easily dodge its roar while staying out of reach of its melee attacks. It takes a while but you can kill it, no problem. After a while you'll start to see a pattern in its attacks, and you can get away with going out and hitting it just as long as you know when to retreat again Edit: for a stress free fight, though, I'd recommend bleed, rot or poison arrows
@@Loctorak right ... meanwhile I`ve defeated this special big bear and other of these bears, beasts and monsters relatively easily and quickly in melee combat, which for me is the normal way to go in Elden Ring with my "Guts Berserk" strength orientated character ...

Z-why-hander. Zwei is 2 in German, the sword takes 2 hands to wield (irl) zweihander (two-hander). You can think of poise as posture endurance. Every weapon has a hidden posture damage amount and when you deplete your poise to 0 you stagger and are opened to riposte (front/back stab)

you got some really funny content, love it so far. but i do wanna ask you to please balance your audio levels a bit, your normal talking is kinda low and then your elden ring audio is a bit loud and there was some part at the video that was beyond destructive and almost blew my ears out. had to take my headphones off and i could still hear it from across the room lol

Maybe I'm all by myself with this, but to be able to balance a heavyweight weapon irl, I would definately need the strength to carry it, and the dexterity to hold it in place. That Fromsoftware tend to make this 'special' weapons ideally suited for a quality build, makes sense to me. #GizaWheel
If we're getting realistic with it, basically none of the colossal weapons could even be used for combat - they're simply too impractical and unwieldy. Things like the prelates great hammer looks to be a chunk of iron the size of half a horse - that thing would weigh >1 tonne so probably be impossible to lift, let alone swing around accurately. Any double-sided axe is out, as well. No sense using a weapon that could as easily behead you as anyone else. Or that anchor, stabbing you in the back every time you hoist it on your shoulder.
@@Loctorak double axes are bad only because second side only ads weight that's why other side irl would be rather spike, hammer or axe but differently sharpened
@@a_fuckin_spacemarine7514 they could and were in specific situation but second side added usseles weight when you caould have different weapon on other side like hammer or spike
14:00 if you got the iron whetblade from stormveil castle you could have changed affinity of zweihander to heavy and if you also double handed it, your dmg would be HUGE
Great stuff, but you really need chill with the ear blasting volume out of nowhere. Some volume differences were loud enough to cause serious damage to peoples ears and i think the audio should be fixed.
You see I know you can fight radahn alone and just have a one on one but the whole part of the event is fighting him with everyone else… that’s what makes it fun in my opinion… I don’t even care if it’s easy to be honest just sometimes I feel like I have to play the game how the developers intended at certain points…
I also don’t mean to be that guy but giants crusher and the crozier hammer thing is so good paired together. I got that duo and used it to beat the game with it is absolutely insane
14:13 Oh that's easy. It's german for "Two-hander", or a two handed sword. It's also pronounced Zwei-hander, as in Zwei, the German word for two. Hope this helps!
I know you were going region locked but do try the fire strike ash of war with the rusted anchor, gives a nice chunk of fire damage and if you attack after it just is a safe heavy attack that staggers most enemy’s and buffs your weapon, underrated combo
i don ' t think people give oleg enough credit .. my dude is a BEAST -- the only thing keeping him away from being op is his lack of inflicting poise / big stagger weapon like some of the other summons have but he ' s just so gooood .
Very fun strengt vid. Poise is a defence stat tho. The higher you have it, the less likely you will be staggered by enemy attacks. Good example in the end of your vid is you tanking Elden Stars and still being able to attack. That's cause of your high poise.
The rule to a weapon's type being it's highest requirement is weird to me. Imo it should be what it's scaling is best as without infusion, as infusion isn't being taken into account in these videos. Whether this is based off of base stats or fully upgraded, it makes more sense and opens up more possibilities
The only places you're locked from are leyndell, royal capital, requiring you to beat at least two shardbearers. Mountaintop of the giants, requiring you to kill Morgott the Omen King and rest at the site of grace. The haligtree, requiring you to get the haligtree medallions. Crumbling Farum Azula, requiring you to kill the fire giant and burn the erdtree. And lastly, Leyndell Ashen capital, Requiring you to kill Maliketh, The Black Blade, and activate the Rune of Death.

Fantastic content man, you’ve come so far so quickly. Your humour especially in this one is on point
If you have 50+ poise you won’t be interrupted by normal attacks by any enemy (except for Elden beast bc he has no normal attack)
I think that’s the light weapon breakpoint. Heavy weapons you need 100+ and even then, I think bosses just say “no” to any amount of poise.
I watched this whole video thinking this guy had like 10k+ subs because the video was so good, bro deserves more subs
