Never clicked so fast in my life

Feels like an editing mistake but oddly fitting that the Bloodhound Finesse skill is explained twice. Two-stage explanation.

the flameblade has the flamberge ripple edge, yet doesnt bleed. absolutely criminal

Fun fact you can get a beastman curved greatsword early if you enter the imbued sword key gate in liurnia that takes you to farum. There are two beastmen enemies there, one of which that drops the greatsword They are super hard to kill early on, but if you can it’s really fun to play through the game with it

It's probably worth mentioning that the Bloodhound's Fang, in addition to all it's other benefits (intrinsic bleed effect, buffable, awesome weapon skill) it also has stronger jump attacks. This effect is hinted at in the weapon's description.

Heavy infused Beastman's Cleaver makes me feel like a sophisticated caveman

Monk’s Flameblade REALLY should have had something unique about it given what a pain it is to get. And lore-wise it should have intrinsic Fire damage…

My personal favorite is the Dismounter because you can get it so early in the game, add to it the Flaming strike ash of war and it's just so damn cool.

This is my favorite Elden Ring series by far! I'm thinking about making a fume knight build, trying to find what weapons would fit and these really help

Omfg the "wait a minute... MY NAME IS MONK" fuckin killed me😂

Something to note about Morgott's cursed sword, it's one of (currently) four weapons which cause 100 extra points of damage if you use them to proc bleed (the other three are the Reduvia, Varré's Bouquet and the Hoslow whip) making it an even better weapon than it already is.

There's a blackflame monk w/ the curve sword at the bottom of Calid divine tower right next to the grace. That's where I farm mine Early game.

super secret hidden pro gamer tip: you can farm the beastman's heavy cleaver early if you take the sending gate at the four belfries to farum azula

I love using the zamor curved sword offhand to either the flowing curved sword or blade of Melania for blade danced builds. Frost and dex with perfumes to reset the frostbite is very fun as the zamor sword often roll catches.

Magma wyrm scalesword has 4 secrets: first secret: the full damage of first part of weapon art does full damage for first 2 seconds, also, if somebody steps into lava 1-2 seconds later, you can do the second part guaranteed, second secret: you can change the direction of weapon art while flight twice, which will allow you to dodge some thrust type attacks and hit them at the same time, third secret +15% bonus damage modifier for strong attacks while 2 handed and +10% damage bonus modifier for strong jumping attacks while two handed (as bonus, info, thanks to crouching while doing strong attack and weapon art, you can dodge hits like this sometimes), fourth secret: lava moves very slowly, but still forward.

Yeeeaaahhh! My favourite weapon class in the game. I honestly think they have the most ultility of any class.

The bloodhound fang has also a unique heavy combo when holding the 2nd heavy attack

Monk's Flameblade is also the only infusable CGS that has a natural affinity for dex scaling, where all the others are strength or quality

Bloodhound's Fang single-handedly carried me thru my first playthrough (of any Souls game) it was just so good. I made it a rule for my second playthrough to not use it, but I still leveled it up thru the whole game just in case I ever needed it lol Finished my third playthrough the other day mainly using the Magma Worm Scalesword and had no idea it even had a second part for its Ash of War, you learn so much from these videos lol

Cleaving time.

Man this is such a good weapon class, Bloodhound's Fang has been my main since Godrick

Finally someone showing the curved greatswords the love They deserve

That first guy in Bull goat and the antspur rapier with bloodhound step is one of the sweatiest builds I've ever seen in this game lmfao

in my most recent playthrough i combined dismounter with flaming strike. and it is one of my favourite builds now, the curved greatswords moveset is really good because they can hit several enemies easily. but they can combo however you want, light into heavy, heavy into light, light into heavy into light. and so forth, these can also combo into flaming strike so you can do tons of mixups and variants to fit your needs. they also have good reach and respectable hyper armor, so definitely a solid weapon class

I always liked Bloodhounds Fang but I never use it because you get it so early in the game that it feels like an exploit. It's not just that it's a good weapon, it's that it has op abilities such as being buffable.

No power stance? Despite the early game build, I ran dual dismounters and had a blast, didn’t thrash or anything, but with the Kaiden armor, it looks pretty good.

Man running str build with zamor and bloodhound

I started a new playthru the other day and I decided to be a dedicated samurai build but when an omen dropped his cleaver in Altus… everything changed. Curved greatswords are just toooo good!

Morgott's Cursed Sword is my favorite! So good for covering distance and taking down groups of enemies.

i wanted to use duel curved great swords cuz i just find it really cool this video gave me all the information i needed and was all the help i could ask for👍

My man!! Like at 2 am yesterday I was like I wanna do a curved sword build but I didn't know what to do and then this comes out 😂

The normal heavy attacks have great roll catching potential if you tap after a normal attack

Bloodhound's Fang is so cursed that with this build it's pushing 666 AR 😅 makes sense.

While harder, you can farm the beastman cleaver by taking the teleporter in the three belfry area that leads you to where you get the paledrake talisman.

Something for y'all to keep tabs on, as it's mentioned (not shown, but at least spoken of) here: You can do the rolling attacks out of a crouch pretty quick if you're careful. Plus, with some attacks, it gives you more options; certain greatswords will have long-range pokes, and certain piercing weapons will gain wide sweeps. Always good to keep in mind for certain pieces of gear, curved greatswords especially, as they often perform downward diagonal sweeps, whereas the crouching move is an upwards sweep (good against anyone looking to crouch and avoid gettin' cleaved).

The curve of all swords!

if you want the monks flameblade you can farm it in caelid , divine tower of cealid at the floor is a monk 5 meters next to the bonfire

Beastman’s Cleaver is a personal favorite. I love Flame Art affinity, and it’s so good with Lion’s Claw. It also looks great paired with One-Eyed Shield, which is easily my favorite shield in the game.👌

Just used up Bloodhound’s Fanb today. Amazing weapon? Hits like a truck, did my first solo fight with Radahn with it and killed him. Great video!

That Monk’s Flameblade gag had me chuckling for a good solid bit hahaha

Ahh.. the cgs. Best weapon for invasions, got some great damage for pve, and applies great pressure in the colosseum. Probably the best weapon class besides greatswords or colossals

Used the beast man’s cleaver for my second play through with carian grandeur. Super fun!

The dismounter is probably a top 5 weapon in the game for invasions. Personally I frost infuse it with sword dance and got people running scared lmao

3:40 idk man i think you stole that curved greatsword's identity

Makar’s scalesword is actually crazy to pair with things like flame of the fell god, fire breath attacks and grafted dragon if you’re looking for a good flame build

and it’s the perfect length for me to watch before i clock in! perfect

Something worth noting about the Omen Cleaver is that it looks sweet as hell with the damascus patterning on the edge

For morgott sword you can also chain the ash of war into regular attacks and replace the second part by regular attacks and catch someone off guard

You forgot to mention that you can use the Four Belfries to reach a small area of Farum Azula, and farm for the Beastman's Cleaver much much earlier in the game.

Monks flameblade can be farmed much earlier, from the start of the game in fact. Just climb the tower in caelid, drop down to the boss door for the godskin apostle and there is a flame monk there carrying it that has the same 4% drop chance

Dude i got flashbacks to when i made a build with Morrgot's Cursed Sword and absolutely melted bosses lmao, such an amazing weapon with so much potential!

That's wild, when I found the monks flame sword I put cold affinity on it. Your the second person I've seen using cold on that sword as well.

you gotta love the freazing blade that was forged to look like a flame

Thanks for testing curved great swords for my benefit as always. Can’t wait for you to test axes for our happiness next😂

I wonder what kind of invasion trolling potential the Onyx Lord's Greatsword might have in certain areas, like the Haligtree Canopy and Lake of Rot.

You should make a True Monk build, as I would like to call it. All it uses is the armor you use in these vids but with the Monk's Flamemace and Monk's Flameblade. Either fire, keen, or heavy for their affinities.

Love dual wielding morgotts and bloodhound. So much damage with an infused bloodhound.

I always diss the magma wyrm sword to be as low damage as morgott's (L2 stick) because it's triple scaling with split damage but the damage is actually good on normal hits.

Please make scythes next

I'm on 60 str and dex, and I use a quality attunement on my Beastman's Cleaver and it beats harder than anything else I have

I clicked at a rate, one would call impossible

Hey Monk! I just want to say I recently was bless by the algorithm with your channel just a couple days ago, and I gotta say that I've been binging them ever since! I think ou make incredibly thorough yet pleasing breakdowns of so many weapons, and I especially love how you do a duel with each and every weapon, showing off it's real-world execution. It's come to make me appreciate the PvP aspect of Elden Ring more, and even made me start considering making a character for a PvP build! Now, I must ask on the odd chance you see this,I know the weapon class is rather small, but do you plan to cover the Claws weapon type anytime soon? Thank you for reading if you do see this, and keep up the good work!!

To answer your question about the Magma Wyrm's Scalesword in PVE, it completely shreds through anything not resistant to fire. And even then, it just overpowers them. They'll stand directly in the magma left over from the ash of war and just melt. That weapon can carry you through the whole game in PVE.

literally clicked on this video just to see monk's reaction to the monk's flameblade lol

i wish they will add more great curved swords in the dlc, my favourite weapon class :) although im not the biggest fan of the power stancing

On that Onyx Lord Curved Sword match , what weapon was the opponent using?

Monk finally found his Flameblade but sadly it was Cold

Monk cold infused the curved FLAMEblade? Blasphemy!

The monk’s fire greatsword on the thumbnail looked strangely like a dlc weapon (horned warrior greatsword). Clicked to see it cuz the vid is 10 months old

That flame blade joke killed me

All of the weapons are great, but Morgott’s cursed sword and the Bloodhound’s fang are the best,that and the Beastman’s cleaver

bloodhound ash-o-war could be used as a counter attack, doge then stricke

Next I’d recommend the synths. Surprisingly fun and underrated after finger print shield nerf

your channel is so underrated love the vids man

where are the daggers

I dropped the omen cleaver first try, early at stormveil, used it to kill the bloodhound guy and now im dual weilding them with a claw talisman for 500+ jump attack dmg pre godrick

You can also farm it in radahns tower i think

you can farm dismounter from the viking looking npcs also. a lot easier of a farm.

12:00 He said what!!

Bloodhounds fang actually has I frames on ash of war

holy shhhh I never knew Zamor Cuved Sword keeps the same moveset left handed O.O

Reapers next?

Alright when you doing rapiers buddy

the coolest looking, rarest curved gs is the worst? ty FS

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I’m curious, for summoning duelists, do you use a password? I’ve gone to the same area at LV 150 and never seen any summon signs.

69 bleed buildup on the Morgott"s Curved Sword with 31 arc, this will make someone happy.

BHF also has stronger jump attacks. It’s really a great weapon.

Curved greatswords also have some insane phantom range in pvp

Hey bud I normally don't nitpick like this but that's 2 in a row now, you need to check your sources for farming locations. The monks blade can be fsrmed in caelids divine tower as early as the start of the game and the beast men axe has only 4 enemies that drop it in the entire game iirc(may be 6) but yes, they are all in forum. Tho with an imbued stones word key u can access 1 at the start of the game.

My favorite thing about this video is that Monk posted it, and my least favorite thing about this video is that it ends.

What about doing spells/incantations? Would kinda interesting to see. Like All glintstone sorceries then carian and what not

Dismounter carried my first playthrough, all the way through

Morgotts L2 is so op in pvp you rush their retreat and slice/bleed them instantly

You may be able to get the Monk’s Flameblade from the Blackflame Monk at the bottom of the Divine Tower of Caelid, right before the Godskin Apostle. Edit: nvm, only the one mentioned in the video does

The irony of using the monks FLAMEBLADE with cold affinity

YEESSSSSSSS FINALLLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Are there any guides like this on sword and shield

Ah finally, I’d knew you’d come

I wanna know which one would be good with magic affinity on it
