The fire knight greatsword has the undeniable best moveset out of all the colossal swords. It combines two unique moves from preexisting colossal swords, those of which bring the super fast R1 combo from the godslayer greatsword and the poking R2 from the zweihander. Combine this with arguably the best damage output of any colossal sword when going all out in fire damage and faith scaling, because it has a passive effect that improves fire damage. The godslayer and mainly the zwei were my favorite weapons in Elden ring, but now it’s undoubtedly the fire knights greatsword
Yeah good honorable mention I should have done some because I like it but in my opinion I like the ones I had on this list better, but thanks for watching ❤
Claws of night is a double barrel shotgun that is the best dragon killer in the game imo. And who should care about anything else but dragons and bosses?
I need this comment on my short cause it’s so annoying seeing people go “it’s not rare” or “it’s not even hard to get drop” it took me 11 minutes of farming to get it some people bother me with that stuff 😂😂😂 but I feel your pain my brother
Best fire knight greatsword farm i found is from the Storehouse Loft site of grace, drop down the ledge by the lift straight ahead. Go down the stairs and boom, fire knight has his back turned giving you a free shot. Also the Greatsword of Solitude has very high guard damage negation, making it a super fun guard counter weapon. That, paired with its Ash makes it allot of fun to run.
I got the fire knights greatsword on the first fire knight that i came across, i wasnt expecting it to drop from literally the first fire knight i kill
Personally fell in love with the backhand blades, the charged attack gets this really nice lunge to close distance and both ashes of war you can use on them are really strong, also you can infuse them which is even more nuts
@@Prez54 I think the falx is really cool but I think that them being somber weapons and unable to get ash infusion brings them down a bit in my opinion, I ran cold backblades and they stuck, plus blind spot and swift slash are dope ashes Blind spot can slip under attacks and past guards and swift slash is straight up a vergil move its so sick Lastly, you can get backhand blades right at the start of the dlc while you need to finish Hornsent’s quest or kill him to get the flax
Blood fiends arm 1. Barbed Staff Spear on a defensive faith build is strong. Bleed procs with its AoW, and the AoW isn't terribly intensive to fire off.
I got the long axe and the twin axes, they are definitely awesome but i need to try them out more! Those death knights are one of my favorite bosses in the DLC so far! I obliterated tf outta them with the sunflower ash of war, it just stomps them into the ground if your able to tank a couple hits😂
Great video. Thanks. Fully agree. Did not know lizard sword had that skill. Trying to decide what to use my Ancient Sombers and Ancient Dragons on from the DLC. I really liked the Ancient Meteoric Greatsword too and had much success with it. Backhand blades are very cool too. Bloodfiends Arm also a favorite. Fire knights greatsword also a Favorite. Greatsword of Radahn - Lord I just got and look forward to using in PVP. My favs from base game are Ruins greatsword, SacredRelic, Maliketh, Bolt of Gransax and are all maxed out. So many awesome katanas hard to decide on just one.
Renalla's swords are op af. It's the sword of night and flame, but dual wielded and the ash of war is long range for the magic, aoe for the flames. Definitely worth checking out.
Messmer's soldier spear with Spectral Lance and Heavy infusion was insanely nice. Could basically stagger nearly every enemy I faced, either from distance or up close.
Falx can be obtained right when you get into Shadow Keep. Just assist Leda with her summons. Fire Knight Shortswords both with flame skewer on a flame build is literally nuts. Can do buffs and super cheese any boss in the game.
Dane's Footwork is better than I expected it would be. Dryleaf Whirlwind for the ash of war does some crazy damage and stagger, and throwing blood infusement can build up hemorrhage quite fast due to how rapid the strikes are. Obviously the downside is the range of it, but still, a very fun and surprisingly strong weapon.
Use the castle main gate bonfire and go down the elevator and fight the messemer soldier. Was able to get the greatsword after 6 runs with the silver scarab!
Damn is it crazy i got the lizard greatsword and fire knights great sword from the 1st enemies i killed with em lol no farming necessary only had 30 arcane at the time
I haven’t gotten to fight radahn yet since I’ve been making videos fighting him has completely slipped my mind 😂 thank you for reminding me of the final boss in the game I somehow forgot about
I literally cannot watch this video. you say everything wrong. "Flax" instead of Falx, "Enesis" instead of Ensis. every single pronunciation is just your best guess. it's incredibly annoying when it happens that often.
This is how you make a list. I hate when top weapon lists include applying insane buffs. As if I’m going to buff my weapon every 30 seconds
Only gotta buff once if the fight is less than 30 seconds
The destiny music made me feel so nostalgic
Glad I can always bring the nostalgica with the destiny theme
@@Prez54 and great video btw really liked the ranking you did! ^_^

@@monkeytico2046 I appreciate that a lot thank you ❤

Honorable mention for Claws of Night.
Yeah good honorable mention I should have done some because I like it but in my opinion I like the ones I had on this list better, but thanks for watching ❤
Claws of night is a double barrel shotgun that is the best dragon killer in the game imo. And who should care about anything else but dragons and bosses?
Yes!!!
Claws of night is amazing im having so much fun with it
Ironically probably the claws that rack up the least amount of damage in the game lol.
I killed that fire knight 72 times (80 arcane + silver scarab) - he dropped his whole set + the sword on the last, 72th try.
I need this comment on my short cause it’s so annoying seeing people go “it’s not rare” or “it’s not even hard to get drop” it took me 11 minutes of farming to get it some people bother me with that stuff 😂😂😂 but I feel your pain my brother
Oh man that sucks! Your gonna hate me but I got the helmet and greatsword my first time I killed him with 10 arcane lol
I need to go check… I looted two items off him on first kill but idk if it was the sword… 🙏
Damn only took me like 6 tries.
Luckily it wasn't the 73st try
1.
I’ve kind of been digging the colossal weapon you get from the mother of fingers rememberance.
But the starlight is pretty great.
Appreciate the support I still haven’t fought that boss yet I need to get to that!
@@Prez54I've been using her staff on my INT+FAI build,I'm loving it so far

That one drops the shortsword not the greatsword
OMG IS THAT PREZ54...HE HELPED ME BEAT ALL THE BOSSES IN 30MIN
I got the fire knights greatsword on the first fire knight that i came across, i wasnt expecting it to drop from literally the first fire knight i kill
Personally fell in love with the backhand blades, the charged attack gets this really nice lunge to close distance and both ashes of war you can use on them are really strong, also you can infuse them which is even more nuts
Another weapon I feel like I need to go back and look at I tried them and ultimately like the flax better but the back hand blades are so sick😂
@@Prez54 I think the falx is really cool but I think that them being somber weapons and unable to get ash infusion brings them down a bit in my opinion, I ran cold backblades and they stuck, plus blind spot and swift slash are dope ashes
Blind spot can slip under attacks and past guards and swift slash is straight up a vergil move its so sick
Lastly, you can get backhand blades right at the start of the dlc while you need to finish Hornsent’s quest or kill him to get the flax
Blood fiends arm 1.
Barbed Staff Spear on a defensive faith build is strong. Bleed procs with its AoW, and the AoW isn't terribly intensive to fire off.
I’m playing through with a Smithscript Greathammer Thor build. So far it’s been a lot of fun chucking my hammer across a surprisingly long distance.
Hahaha no way I tried to make a build for it but I didn’t like it so much are you using anything crazy in yours
I did the DLC with the Messmer Soldier's Spear. I love this weapon.
It’s so fun and versatile
1- Death Knight's Longhaft axe. My build is based on lightning damage so this was a great addition.
No way do I need to go back and try this again because I haven’t used it much, also thanks for watching all the way I appreciate it ❤❤
Yeah the blink is so useful for staying close to bosses
@@hussle2654 I’m gonna try it again over the weekend for sure then thanks for the recommendation
I got the long axe and the twin axes, they are definitely awesome but i need to try them out more! Those death knights are one of my favorite bosses in the DLC so far! I obliterated tf outta them with the sunflower ash of war, it just stomps them into the ground if your able to tank a couple hits😂
Same, im walking through the dlc with this weapon/lightning build

1- 100% the martial arts weapons they are so cool
They are so cool they saw the mods people made and had to ass them 😂
Renalla's swords are op af. It's the sword of night and flame, but dual wielded and the ash of war is long range for the magic, aoe for the flames. Definitely worth checking out.
Does no damage
@@goldehammergaming lol. I melted half the DLC with that weapon at NG+5. Sounds like you might just suck.
@@chriswilliamson4516 I mean it objectively just does less damage than majority of options. Congrats I guess?
They're my favorite. I also use Milady with a cold infusion or whatever you call it.
Messmer's soldier spear with Spectral Lance and Heavy infusion was insanely nice. Could basically stagger nearly every enemy I faced, either from distance or up close.
Blood backhand blade is great too. Double yield it and it will melt any enemies instantly. Not to mention its awesome aow. Best evade/counter aow imo
Falx can be obtained right when you get into Shadow Keep. Just assist Leda with her summons. Fire Knight Shortswords both with flame skewer on a flame build is literally nuts. Can do buffs and super cheese any boss in the game.
1. I have a crucible knight build that erases bosses, devonias hammer has been a great addition to this build.
Nice content, no BS. Appreciate it.
Dane's Footwork is better than I expected it would be. Dryleaf Whirlwind for the ash of war does some crazy damage and stagger, and throwing blood infusement can build up hemorrhage quite fast due to how rapid the strikes are. Obviously the downside is the range of it, but still, a very fun and surprisingly strong weapon.
I use Danes and Dryleaf with heavy armor to compensate for the lack of range
Got that Fire Knight Greatsword on the first farm attempt 🍀🙏
Sword Lance is most underrated weapon out there.
No matter what infusion this sh*t hits like a truck.
Damn I have pretty much everything on this list and have only tried like three of them, now I got to go back and respec 😂
Yeah definitely try some bro I want to make a full build for the lizard great sword it’s so cool 😂
Backhand blade, man. That's the best, thanks to the ash of war
Shout out to the bolt of grandsax, it’s basically the intervention from mw2
I know it’s not DLC weapon before any of you guys jump my ass over that statement
"the flax" 😂
Use the castle main gate bonfire and go down the elevator and fight the messemer soldier. Was able to get the greatsword after 6 runs with the silver scarab!
Flame faith build with dry leaf arts palm fist. Crazy range with buffs 1-4shot bosses
1. Smith script great hammer is most fun for sure
What a coincidence right before you said the lizard Greatsword I killed my first of the enemies and got it 😂😂
1. I love the twinblades the most
Lol @ playing straight up. I do use incantations on my uchi, but I use my uchi because unlike a lot of people I like to play the game straight up ;)
I haven't got it all yet, but I'm currently rocking the great katana, milady and messmer's spear.
Ima replace my moonveil for starlined
Dry leaves arts and Mesmer spear
flax? castle enesis? dyslexia claims another soul..
The only thing i can seem to use to counter the flax swords are with palm blast in pvp if i time it right, those swords shred shit up in pvp
Damn is it crazy i got the lizard greatsword and fire knights great sword from the 1st enemies i killed with em lol no farming necessary only had 30 arcane at the time
Great list...thank you....The bleed build you had for the lizard, do you have a vid for that?
Great vid.
1. I think spinning weapon great katana is dope. And please don’t do that to my mom she’s a nice lady 😢
Says he doesn't use buffs, has golden vow and flame grant me strength equipped.
I got 2 Fire Knight's Greatswords in 9 kills. I should go buy a lotto ticket.
1... fire knights greatsword is my personal favorite. And you better not flick my mom like that.

Havent played far yet. Looking for the best dlc weapon to use with the dragon build you made.
Hi prez if you havent had a chance please make a vid on radahns lord weapon. Its weapon artis absolutely insane especially in pvp
I haven’t gotten to fight radahn yet since I’ve been making videos fighting him has completely slipped my mind 😂 thank you for reminding me of the final boss in the game I somehow forgot about
@@Prez54 damn thank you for sacrificing your enjoyment in order to give us amazing content. You're a legend
came for elden ring, stayed for destiny 1 orbit music
1 backhand blades
Idk if I’m just lucky or not but it took me less than 10 tries to get the Fire Knights sword
Foulx swords, 1. I like beast claws.
5:35 :D nice vid
Had the fire knight sword drop first try lol
1 and still searching, so far tge beast claws so its pretty early hunting for me right now.
Appreciate you watching and supporting ❤
My fav dlc weapon is allso the new Rahsaan sword not light
Are tge twinblades you get frim Rellana bad it didnt make the list? Im trying to kill Rellana for it but if its bad I will do it later on.
What NG was the footage taken from?
1 please dont flick my mum like that
HAHAHAHHAHAA much love man ❤
1 - I like the Shadow Sunflower Blossom. Clapping cheeks with a flower, why not?
Never let bro cook
Any option for a pure strength build for my 2nd playthrough?
Max level and ng +0. Spit.
What was that ability you used with the lizard sword
L2. You have to change it to cold, fire etc. If I understood your question.
It’s called the poison flowers bloom twice
Starlined sword shouldn’t be here that it’s ass. Also fall should def be higher, it’s insane.
Bloodfiends fork is bettee
So I see you play with no buffs. Do you also play with a DDR pad, blindfolded, while getting your balls stomped on? Dude you are so cool, prez.
4:20 LMFAO
Destiny reference
What are your armor plsss
The flax swords?
1 smithscript circ
2024 no time stamps, hopefully 2025
How do you get bear armor
DLC weapons actually seem weak no weapons even in the same realm as blasmpous blade and mohgs spear
1 - waiting on getting the dlc
Thank you so much for watching all the way through and supporting even without the DLC i hope you get it soon bro cause youre gonna love it ❤
Great video loved it, can't wait to get the DLC too 😊. @@Prez54
@@lorddjg 😩 you guys need to stop playing around and get it
I would but I'm waiting on my daughter who got me into this game to catch up with me, I'm ready just waiting on her now.. lol@@Prez54

Lol your using destiny music
Falx. Not Flax.
Timestamps!!!
I literally cannot watch this video. you say everything wrong. "Flax" instead of Falx, "Enesis" instead of Ensis. every single pronunciation is just your best guess. it's incredibly annoying when it happens that often.
not putting timestamps is a crime
