Overview
Daniel showcases and tests five weapons from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, demonstrating their damage capabilities and build synergies: Devonia's Hammer, the Occult Blacksteel Great Hammer, the Greatsword of Solitude, Milady, and Freyja's Greatsword.
Devonia's Hammer deals holy damage and uses the Devonia's Vortex area-of-effect skill with holy buffs, while the early-game Occult Blacksteel Great Hammer produces very high heavy-attack damage using Royal Knight's Resolve and selected talismans and tears.
The Greatsword of Solitude utilizes the Solitary Moon Slash downward attack alongside Golden Vow, Milady excels in fast blood loss setups with skills like Double Slash, and Freyja's Greatsword reaches over 10,000 to 11,000 damage in Occult and fire configurations with stacked buffs.
Themes
Weapon testing and build optimization for Devonia's Hammer, Occult Blacksteel Great Hammer, Greatsword of Solitude, Milady, and Freyja's Greatsword in Shadow of the Erdtree.
The premature death of the non-player character Freyja and its impact on obtaining her greatsword and completing her questline.
Developments
Daniel accidentally attacked and killed the non-player character Freyja, halting her questline and obtaining her greatsword.
Uncertainties & gaps
Whether the 11,000 damage attack executed with Freyja's Greatsword was a light attack or a heavy attack, due to a distraction caused by a cat.
