Those spiders are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ vicious. The first time I went into that fight I almost got my ♥♥♥♥ kicked in.

Unfortunately the only way to easily kill all of them in a short amount of time is if you have a spell that has a aoe (area of effect), like Firestorm, Scrap of Life, Darkstorm, etc) or if you have a weapon with a spin to win attack (like a halberd, but i'm not sure if halberd spin-to-wins can reach the spiders). OR if you're just fast and your weapon can one-shot the spiders. Rapier users must have a rough time fighting a group of those spiders.

I am glad I had a Zwei when I went into that fight. I usually use the rape-ier for casual playthroughs, but that time I went with the Zweihaender.

Yeah I guess the Zwei would be good for that fight. I rarely use the Zwei in Dark Souls 2 though because I don't like that they changed the R2 attacks. Especially the two-handed R2. Imo it was more satisfying when the two-handed R2 was a slam, not a thrust (in Dark Souls 1). I love Dark Souls 2 but changing the moveset of the Zweihander was sacrilege.

Yeah, plus the thrust R2 has pretty bad tracking too and the hitbox of the sword doesn't match the model.

Yeah, that sounds about right. The slam attack was the most powerful thing about the Zweihander's moveset. It's a real shame that they took away that attack.

Maybe one day Bluepoint Games remakes DS2 and we get the 2H slam back. And maybe an added double pancake move for power-stancing.

I think I'd be okay with that, but at the same time I think it'd make me really annoyed. I really love Dark Souls 2, like you don't know how much I love it. It got me through a lot of hard times, and still is with this Covid-19 bs. I worry about what a Bluepoint remake would do for fans of the original and SOTFs, because the Bluepoint remake of Demon's Souls is very different from the original (in a good way). I'll just leave it at that before i keep rambling on.

Fair enough.
