Zweihander is a Colossal Sword in Elden Ring. The Zweihander scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity, and is a versatile Weapon for heavy-weight combat. This weapon, the lightest of all colossal swords, is able to set a devastating tempo for an encounter through its flexible moveset. 

 

Just about the largest sword a mere man is capable of swinging. True to its name, it is designed to be wielded in both hands, but those of merely ordinary strength will still struggle to do so.

The long blade is heavy and sharp, sending foes reeling back with its broader strokes, while also capable of a devastating piercing thrust.

        1. Put Braggarts Roar on it or alternatively War Cry though BR is better
        2. Use the roar talisman to improve BR
        3. offhand the Highland Axe on your belt while twohanding the sword (improves Braggarts roar even more)
        4. use the axe talisman since you´ll be using mostly charged heavies to utilize the altered moveset from BR
        5. The usual buffs like Golden Vow, Flame Grant me Strength/Exalted Flesh/ Bloodboil Aromatic or Howl of shabriri dfepending on what you prefer
        6. use an armor that gives 101 poise to make the best use of the excessive hyperarmor frames the BR charge offers
        7. Flatten everything and become (almost) unstoppable. Once you start charging only very few bossattacks will be able to stagger you, other than that you´ll just hyperarmor through pretty much everything.

          Easily one of the best weapon in the game, especially considering its weight. The R1s swing above shorter enemies, but you can work around it by using running R1/R2s.
          I don't exactly enjoy the late-game optional areas because the enemies are a bit spongy, I bust this out to clear the snowfield and other tedious moments in the game.

            Some talismans that work really well with this weapon:

            -Axe Talisman and Spear Talisman both make the R2s real nasty, makes even unfeeling NPCs regret trading with you.

            -Twinblade Talisman is great, the low number of moves in Zweihander's combos combined with their decent hyperarmor means you're likely to actually get the full combo off to benefit from this if you're careful enough. Royal Knight's Resolve pairs really well with this one.

            -Claw Talisman's great if you're a fan of jump attacks. Best paired with a second Colossal Sword in the offhand.

            -The Scorpion Charms, of course, are great if you use the affinities that scale with them. Might want to use the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman to offset the damage negation debuff, though.

            -Green Turtle Talisman helps you cope with that Colossal Sword stamina consumption. Erdtree's Favor and Viridian Amber Medallion are also good choices if you find yourself running out of stamina a lot.

            -Dragoncrest Greatshield and Ritual Shield Talismans are both useful for when you whiff attacks and get punished accordingly. This just sometimes comes with the territory of Colossal Sword usage.

            -If you're in need of a ranged physical damage option, Beast's Roar paired with the Roar Medallion is a great choice.

            -Both Shard of Alexander and Carian Filigreed Crest are no-brainers if you're an Ash of War... enjoyer.

            -This weapon's bleed and poison build-up are both pretty good, so Kindred of Rot and Lord of Blood's Exultations are useful for those.

                  Arguably the most solid weapon across the series. Good scaling, damage, range, not the highest state requirement. Good move set .

                          The merchant found this weapon from a hollow corpse wearing a big golden pikachu face mask. He tried to remove a golden ring from the corpse's finger, but it suddenly broke. The merchant was scared. He quickly took the weapon, left everything else where it was and ran away.

                                  Funny thing, this thing with a fully charged R2 does more damage in a single hit than the giant crusher assuming that you get a counter attack. Thrusting attacks do 30% more damage after dodging an enemies attack You can pair the poking charged r2 with the spear talisman and axe talisman, grab the charge attack tear and red feathered and then you can grab a light weapon with seppuku and lord of bloods exhaltation, varres white mask and deal over 2500 damage with one charged r2 before golden vow fgms and royal knights resolve. I was hitting 1600 on roll poke r1s using this build, absolutely disgusting. It took about 3 hours to set up and you can get everything needed. 2 tapping radagon after dodging his aoe attacks that were nowhere near close to hitting me was a feeling i never knew i needed

                                    If you meet the requirements, it can be viable to any build! Just put the corresponding affinity and destroy everything!

                                      Further down this page, there's a comment that reminds everyone that a War Cry/Braggar's Roar R2 is like the DS1 pancake heavy attack, if you want it to do that still. What it doesn't mention is that it's like DS1 in another way: an uncharged War Cry R2 true combos into a light attack. The uncharged one isn't even that slow and it has hyper armor. If they're not smart enough to roll behind you, that's a lotta damage.

                                          Braggarts Roar and heavy Zweihander is so much fun.
                                          Looks good and slaps hard.

                                          Guts GS is too ugly and bulky for my taste

                                              With just 13 STR and 11 DEX, you have access to Ultra Greatsword if u need it's power, Zwei is also the lightest of it's class, allowing pure INT to put Wave of Darkness AoW and cast it with it and it'll scale with INT causing tons of damage. (side note: it's a very popular sword in dark souls too, give it a try)

                                                Honestly, needs a little buffing, for damage or for recovery after attacks. All its class can use that actually. But still, sometimes love to pull out my cold barbaric roar zwei and swing that thing around ridiculously with the new heavy attack set. In PvP people will obviously avoid getting blendered by a huge effing zweihander flying around but if you can bait someone to trade you in pvp, like when you get yourself to low hp and it makes your opponent grow more impatient and more aggressive, oh man, it will obliterate.

                                                  I feel like they kind of nerfed the power of this weapon compared to previous entries but you know what? I still love the good ol' reliable

                                                        would be nice if all weapons and armor, not just boss ones or the occasional one like the zwei, could be purchased once you defeat a particular enemy.

                                                                Alright, some simple real talk. Real life zweihander from 1600s would be around 180cm tall, and about 3.5~ kg weight, or a bit more. An ordinary longsword would be around 2~ kg in comparison. Its not exactly a light thing to swing around lightning fast, but its not exactly that bulky that requires entire bodyweight thrown behind it and suck up so much stamina either. However, when Tarnished swings it, the swing itself is really quick. We could assume that he goes all-in full strength in his swings, full ungabunga no technique, so all the swinging a huge arc and slamming it into the ground moves can actually pass. Also normally, stabbing the tip of this to the ground you'd expect its hilt to be at your eye level, the one Tarnished uses seems considerably longer than it would be. And the poke move on this thing makes perfect sense, because this sword was designed to have some utility of being a like spear as by holding this on either on hilt or by one hand on the second hilt and using it pokey pokey as such.

                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                      At 21 STR you can two-hand Guts, and it deals more damage with Keen Affinity at 80 DEX, but not only that Zwei deals the least damage of all colossals with these stats. Mind you that is only two points above Zwei's STR requirement.
                                                                      If it at least were the longest like Astora.

                                                                                  I would like to see a reduction in weight or a two-hit combo on Torrent, nothing damage-wise but something that would emphasize its utility over the other colossals.

                                                                                  • Anonymous

The damage isn't split so you end up with huge damage, and the str requirement is pretty low (only 13 str when two handing), so it makes for a good choice if you do an arcane run that's not focused on katanas and such fast bleed weapons (for example it seems more fitting for a dragon knight kinda character)

                                                                                    • Basically Zweihander in this game works more like the Astora Greatsword of DS3, it's better as a dex weapon, just don't tell anyone that you leveled that up.

You expect large weapons to do damage when they hit you but nope. When i get hit because i got distracted by watching a cool scene in a movie the damage makes me laugh.

                                                                                          "Power up the BASS CANNON"
                                                                                          "FIRE"

                                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                                            my personal favorite setup:

                                                                                            Lightning Zwei with Lightning Slash ash of war

                                                                                            Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Shard of Alexander, Twinblade
                                                                                            Talisman (hear me out), and Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman

                                                                                            Lightning dmg boost and Stonebarb for the Physick, and then golden vow, FGMS for boss fights

                                                                                            The damage output and stagger built into this kit is top tier imo, lightning slash ash of war counts as the first hit in a chain - so you can full combo with lightning slash and 2 r1s making the twinblade talisman actually quite consistent especially since most enemies get staggered by zwei

                                                                                            +24 zwei will hit for over 4k damage in one combo with no physick or additional buffs

                                                                                            hopefully someone will try this out and have as much fun as I have had with it :)
