Hope you get better Scott. Man who created the most fun Albinauric sniper build shall not suffer. At all.

Lol didn't read colossal in title so thought it was 'putrescense cleaver hits like a weapon'

Worlds best series ever returns

It feels so cozy getting narrated thought duels again, i love this series

Some on Scott, that thing is definitely at least average length. If anything it has to be above average… um, according to my friend.

new poise values are 56 for the first hit of multihit wepaons 88 for the second R1 of most smaller weapons 89 for offstoc and 115 for 2h thrusting swords

2:49 He used the short spear charged r2, which stuns all poise and he hit you before your HA started

I've been using this weapon in duels myself, if you use the weapon art you can actually roll immediately after using it but if you don't then it forces you to wait through the recovery

Twinblades do nothing. 5 seconds later...

The guy with a pike switched to short spear, not swift spear. Fun Fact: Swift spear 1st and 2nd r1s are reused from short spear r2s.

ngl i wish its weapon art was the throw move. either that or make its strong attack the throw while its weapon art remains the same

This is the weapon I ended up settling on in my first runthrough of the dlc. For the fact that it let's me cosplay as the Orphan of Kos

Scott jund

I don't know if it gets mentioned because I'm only 12 minutes into the video so far, but the backstep R1 is unique and isn't the same as the running R1

Always love myself some narrated thought duels. Thanks Scott.

scott souls pvp videos are so nostalgic, i missed this content

Can you use the carthus curved sword

Didn't think I'd see Scott beat someone up with a mezzaluna made of bones, but here we are.

This is definitely a one of the BEST looking weapons in DLC!

Ah 30mins of narrated duels. Yes please!

Well this just brings me back to the ds3 days so much nostalgia and still amazing :)

2:40 That's the Short Spear. The Swift Spear basically got the Short Spear charged R2 moveset on the light attacks.

fuckin rad video, i always love these formats also you ran across some pretty cool builds from people, not even a single Blind Spot in sight. life could be a dream

Thoughts on Dane's Footwork, Scott? I took Dryleaf Arts through most of the DLC, but most of the time it felt pretty underwhelming aside from the jumping r2, and I swapped off of it for all remembrance bosses but Bayle and Messmer. Dane's Footwork has ended up feeling about the same, but I have been liking it in PvP. Just find it a little hard to deal with the abysmal range outside of backstep r1, but latency makes backstepping feel pretty odd. Palm Blast is in general pretty hilarious, regardless. Cheers, man, happy to be seeing narrated thought duels in my feed again

It's funny how you got typecast as a tryhard in DS3 even though you've been doing meme shit in all the souls games. I still re-watch Forgetful Fred and CoolWarrior61 every now and again

This is the weapon I used to kill the final boss, even though I was hitting around 3000 ar he was not caring 💀

I really enjoy these types of vids. Definitely looking forward to ones in the future :)

Not only did that guy override Black Flame's Protection with Flame, Grant me Strength, but they also nerfed BFP in PvP so it gives the same absorption as a BOILED CRAB

Great showcase, really love your commentary and gameplay. Looking forward to more of these.

tell me why this weapon doesn’t have the guillotine r2

I was so excited when I saw you were doing this weapon! I gravitated towards this and the meteoric ore gs on my playthrough. I like extending the ash of war randomly sometimes when players think they can get in a hit after missing. It is stupid but catches people off guard at times!

missed this series

Narrated thought duels is the reason why i started watching you, and I'm extactic every time it returns.

If only you was able to throw that weapon like boss do...

It returns!

Scott when you mention the hitbox at your back while swinging, it actually does have a (relatively inconsistent) hitbox from behind. It seems almost frame perfect but I've hit a lot of enemies with it on accident when fighting a group and trying to poise through hits. Not super useful in PvP, though still funny for some shenanigans when you do manage to hit it.

Casual PvP is really what this game was built for, and honestly how to have the most fun. The better you get at SoulsRing PvP, the more you realize you should just play an actual fighting game lol. Saint Riot said it well - "you can play the worst fighting game ever, or the best RPG ever."

So glad my favorite series is back

This feels like 2016 all over again

I use sacrificial knife and those short curved axes actually have a hitbox behind you at the beginning half of that particular attack animation that's really noticeable when you aim punch.

Much respect to Sitting Bear, not too often I see single Spear and not just abusing running attacks.

Thank you for that narrations in duel thoughts! Super good? Yes!

Narrated thought duels and invasions. Ahh... beautiful.

That lowkey looks super fun for PVE. I love strength weapons and that has frostbite buildup, solid damage and is faster than other good strength weapons. Might have to give that a try

have you tried the smithscript cirque in pvp? I noticed the thrown and running heavy attacks seem really good for roll catching and chasing, since the projectiles are practically homing. I want to experiment with raptor of the mists on the cirque, since normally it's easy to punish ROTM on the way down but the projectiles might make that difficult or even punish a punish attempt

Do backhand blades do more bleed than they're supposed to? Feels like the powerstance status nerf doesn't apply to them

I don't care enough to dive into the math but iirc Gelmir staff becomes your best primary catalyst in a very specific int/faith bracket.

This series started my love for ER PvP :D I'm glad to see it returned!

I'm in New Games Plus 12. Does this increase the damage enemies do to me or does it reduce the damage I do to them in the DLC? Because bosses and monsters kill me in one or two hits

Sure you CAN cancel the lil flip animation but it's so weird you've gotta style on them

I shall put in a request to use the Rellana's Twin Blades. Things are pretty good in PvE, but i havent really messed with pvp in this game so no idea how they'd do.

swift spear + offhand whip was something I was using, it deals a surprising amount of damage with its R1 combo but its not very good overall. I found myself mostly just using the whip.

THE SECRET SCOTT WHAT IS IT, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Twinblades feels so satisfying to pull off in PVP, they can pressure so well once the opponent starts panic rolling. The main issue with it for PVP is that high poise and hyper armour shits on most of its moveset so it does require patience to use instead of trying to rush and then get a CGS to the face.

Love these videos thank you.

Instead of that chicken wing blood fiend arm, From should have made this a frost weapon that leaves putrescence blue flame with charged heavy.

You can roll out of the flipping animation after the AoW

I like this weapon a lot! The poise on the sklill is great for chaotic invasion or ganksquads. The skill R2 followup has way better tracking than L2 if the enemy moves around you.

Edit: that jump UGS counter is neat. Would that be viable in more crowded scenarios? Like invasions? Twinblades can deliver some nasty damage but a whole setup is needed. Multiple hits, best with status, need to not get hit or use endure and so on. Pain in the arse to play, but can really turn an invasion around in 1 combo.

Cheers! Also get well!

Is 171 the new dueling meta lvl?

You should try dual serpent flails. Let me know what you think.

Hmm interesting.. I play with a lot of consumable use in the arena so this might fit really well on a build

what ive found is weapons that out reach it can easily be blocked into the skill

the putrescence cleaver DOES hit behind you, they just have to be moving into you which is why it didn't work when you tried it

I really wish it was not curved as much, then it would be more like Yorm's machete.

Do you play on ps5 or PC?

Been using this weapon for the last few days, fuckin rules.

I could use it as a meme swap i love how guillotine looks, reminds me of harald cgs, but def not as a main weapon.

Awesome Vid! Thank You very much for Your Work! Greetings from Germany

Not Scott realizing 27 minutes into the video he can roll out of the animation before it ends

why do you never quick swap? Thrusting sword running r2 into swap to cleaver ashe is perfect for roll catching

Please do more PvP videos, some of the most interesting Elden Ring videos imo

Ah, the amount of peace NTDs give me. Get well soon scoot o/

This wep is so much better in invasions, the skill can be a lot more useful in a chaotic environment like that

On the second duel when the spear stunned you it's because it was the second heavy (you can tell cuz its two hits in one)

I paired it with an off hand axe worked well then again anything with an off hand axe works well

I think this weapon just needs a fast off-hand weapon. Maybe something like a rapier or a dagger

Black flame is completely dead btw. It’s the same defense as crab now fyi

I’m just obsessed with that l2 🤤

There's so many weapons I need to try Q~Q

Make a greatsword of damnation invasion build. At lv 200 (can go a little lower probs) i have gotten a way to consistently one shot hosts and phantoms with 2 buff inputs Also the hitbox for the grab us funny

Is it cheatengine or do you really just have like 999 crafting mats

88 poise if you are in the arena if you can’t get that just wear what looks cool. This is pretty much what I gathered and I’m not trying to look like a poise monster.

I miss the Black Knight Great Axe moveset so bad... At least the One Handed r1s...

It is good in invasions!

14:35 let em cook

How do you have that many hefty rot pots? Farming them must have taken eons. Or do they reset after every duel?

so is there no longer an ideal pvp level? I've been running through the dlc at 135 refusing to level further lol.

Waiter! Waiter! More scott jund elden ring videos please!

love ur elden content, quit after you quit, ur back im back (tried DBD cause of you and it was a experience, that was cool until I tried playing solo)

Use one in each hand

Lightroll shits on every weapon in the game, you don't need as big of a latency to be impossible to rollcatch. In ladder this shit is banned for a very good reason

Putrescent L2 roll catches off of j.R1

That sleep crossbow is disgusting. Invading and trying to fight 2v1 when there's also a crossbow that almost instantly inflicts sleep on my ass is just not possible. Got teabagged for retreating when there's literally nothing else I could have done

love u scott - Honey

u can cancel the animation of the L2 recovery with a roll, hope this reaches you, otherwise great vid!

10:56😞

Its better when you talk while actually playing rather than talking over gameplay.

L2 is decent as an anti air
