Jev55: I'm super happy there is a least a way to blade with backhand blades before getting to the DLC.

hugoandre3473: If I understand correctly, most popular weapons from the DLC now have their "bastard sword equivalent".

Camohflage: i like coming to you for elden ring opinions because i feel like everyone else only talks about pvp which is cool but doesnt really help me too much

299kiaser: A base game martial arts weapon would have been dope.

pockystyx4087: kinda weird they didn't add a throwing knife, hand-to-hand, or beast claw weapon; since it seems like they were populating the main game with weapon types normally locked to the DLC.

xx1kareemxx: Didn’t expect more gold mask lore in the big 2026 but I’m all for it

benbot0733: Silver grooved shield is gonna be perfect for pursuer cosplay

ThyXception: Man would it kill them to add a light greatsword with a guard? Like damn bro

PKDeviluke25: I wish you could get the Dryleaf type of melee weapon before the DLC content. Now add these to Nightreign

TigoODonnell: It's a bit disappointing the Hefty Scimitar isn't that great. Would've enjoyed it if it was somewhat equivalent to the Exile GS from DS3, compensating for its shorter range with damage.

modsas9309: Icon shield only have 95% phys negation. Synergize really well with the new tarnished edition flail aow

grfrjiglstan: Best thing about these weapons is the fact that we had no idea they were coming. All I heard about this edition prior to release was ‘two new starting classes and horse armor DLC’, not ‘almost all the cool stuff from the DLC is available right from the start, oh and Lucatiel’s sword is back by the way’.

Otamatone_Fan: Nitpick yes, but: 6:32 Idus Blade and Milady having the "exact same model", yet the video shows very clear differences such as the handle being a lot shorter, the handle guard being the same colour as the blade, and the middle of the blade sides having no dark engravings.

manzariat7523: Early Great Katana is a dream come true for me.

jasikshaw9309: The silver grooved shield fills a sorely needed niche in that it's one of the only 100% phys negation round shields in the base game.

FebraciousOne: GOATED update

drakusmero104: Im literally spending $5 on Leontiel's greatsword and the Idus armor, but at least i can use backhand blades early on. Still, money spent on elden ring is always worth it

whoiscreyton1069: I listen to you at work, keep up the awesome vids my boredom depends on it

someguyonyt2831: Leontiel's Greatsword is so much fun to use bro. Great moveset and very fun AoW.

keyamazed1038: The Gold Tattoo set is awesome if you make your character have a really dark skin color. Really pops. Makes me want to do an incantation only run.

gabri7613: i was waiting for this

ThatHarperGal: I'm just super happy to see a daikatana and a light greatsword accessible so early in the game!

It's definitely a good time for folks to try out ER.

nathansingh2934: Only sad part is the ash of wars for the light greatsword and backhand bladed, wing stance is kinda the most fun way to use that weapon

CrestyCrest: QUACK

MuffinKindred: Lets goooo unique weapons that are genuinely fun

tythegreatttg: Tbh I feel like they should have released this before the DLC

plabcentral630: This is good. Now you can do a full play though with some previous dlc weapons and then switch to the better version.
