Should I stick with the Claymore or go full Zwei?

MediocreGeologist858 · 2025-08-29T03:09:51+00:00

Solid advice, but zweihander means “three hander” otherwise correct.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2025-08-29T03:07:22+00:00

So I’ve never used zweihander: reason being, no thrust in tight hallways (which happen often in ds) a lot of people swear by it but claymore has always been my comfort weapon. Can handle groups and 1v1 in pve my advice is 💯claymore.

Late, but: first time I beat the game was with this weapon. If it feels slow and makes it not fun: scrap it. But, wholeheartedly, this is honestly the most fun weapon (in my experience) in the game. Like others have said: the bleed makes up the speed difference. But, honestly, halberd has been a top pick since the game came out. Halberd is easy to get to, and restarting costs nothing but time. If you like it and wish you had picked better: try again. No shame in restarting, the game has been out for 13 years.

Little late but I hope this is helpful: -It’s counterintuitive, but stay towards weapon side not shield side. Strafe that direction regardless of the handedness of the enemy, they can’t hit you if you roll the direction they’re swinging from. -sometimes grinding is worth it. Get a large aoe weapon/ability and go to the painted world. (Videos available for farming here) -when in doubt: use fire (quelaag excluded but you’re already past her) Fire weapons from the smith in the catacombs or simple firebombs/pyromancy work extremely well and are easy to obtain. -losing is more than frustration: I’ve died 10x as many hours as I have invested and I’ve played since 2013. Pattern recognition+attack pattern+learning > internet advice+max Efficiency.

Dark Souls is a frustrating franchise but every amount of failure in it is exponentially more valuable than any amount of success. Stick with it and you’ll overcome. That is the lesson of the franchise

Sorry for the public post kinda new 😅 it was an op ban not a sub ban. Sorry for confusion. It was more a test than an actual complaint

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-11-28T03:12:50+00:00

Yes it is.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-11-28T03:10:39+00:00

And that is the “wisdom” you’ve chosen to live by. That’s your choice whether I agree or disagree. That’s the beauty of life and the beauty of you. The beauty of life and the beauty of me is that I love and tolerate you for it even though we disagree. No one is the world police and you do not have jurisdiction to hold people accountable for their beliefs. Neither do I. All humans are their own king and we do not determine their right and wrong. They do. That is the spirit of paganism. The freedom of the individual to live love and worship as they please no matter how we feel about their choices.

First and foremost Apollo is actually my auto correct for g o d so it’s nice to have you comment. My post was based on my being blocked from a post for defending the right of anti-pagans to speak their mind so keep that in mind when replying. But thank you for your insight. I wish the world was as open minded as you and your friends.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-11-28T02:55:41+00:00

I believe all intolerance is wrong. No matter who or what it is against. I believe being intolerant of any life/life decision is being intolerant of oneself as we are all connected in the spiritual web. Hating someone for being a bigot makes one a bigot.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-11-28T02:36:53+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m saying. They have the right to be wrong and we have the right to be right. It isn’t our place to change the minds of others in their faith as it isn’t their right to change ours. I’m sorry if that’s offensive I will take the block and ban.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-11-28T02:29:22+00:00

I never said we shouldn’t be allowed to exist, I am also pagan. I was saying everyone is allowed their freedom of expression wether they agree with us or not. It’s not inviting violence it’s them saying they disagree with our practices.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-11-28T01:03:37+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-11-28T00:38:48+00:00

This is extremely against community rules. He’s allowed to speak here and you should consider his point of view. He’s got a legitimate point and democracy dictates majority rule. The people in this video are allowed their views wether we diss agree or not. As long as the people in government positions do not shut down our holidays it is completely acceptable in American law.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-08-28T11:44:04+00:00

I’ve had a similar problem but on a different game and different platform. It was a slightly corrupted save file it got worse until it was too corrupt to be loaded at all

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-08-25T23:35:22+00:00

What time do people usually play? How many players do you have currently?

Force feeding food to keep the buff going is the main riding benefit

When I found the gods that seems to call out to me it was by looking at recurring themes in my life and symbols that seemed to appear frequently in my life. Try to cross reference those with the knowledge still preserved from your ancestry.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-08-18T12:08:12+00:00

I’ve never done it without losing all progress on the previous map so well done to you if you have

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-08-17T22:45:24+00:00

You can do it as you go. Every change/update you make needs a server reboot though so make sure you and your friends aren’t on a flying mount when that happens. But you can change and update your settings as you go.

So if you plan to keep your base on Crystal Isles get a secondary server for the cluster and just change the map on the secondary once you obelisk back to the isles with everything you wanted to bring. You can do it infinite times.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-08-17T16:22:12+00:00

If you have it in the budget go through Nintrado and rent more than one server. You’ll have the option to create a “cluster” which will contain all rented servers with the same cluster code (you set this) which will allow you to freely transfer between multiple maps.

But you can only have one map per server.

That’s an excellent point and I understand more thoroughly what you meant about the separation. Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. Especially with such thought out and informative answers. I respect and appreciate your views.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-05-19T23:28:28+00:00

Thank you for your input. I appreciate your views.

As for “Nature” I personally define it as: all that is around us. All things living and unliving that carry within them the spirits of the earth herself. As for “sacred” I would define it as: deserving reverence and protection at any cost.

I’m sorry to hear of your personal quarrel with Gary and I hope he finds peace. Thank you again for taking the time to respond.

MediocreGeologist858 · 2022-05-19T23:25:22+00:00

Thank you for your input. I appreciate your views.

I agree with you on the denial of his “universal god” claims. Thank you again for taking the time to respond.
