GiantDad is Back

Easy tutorial to create the GiantDad, one of the most overpower build in the game, for both PvE and PvP.

THINGS YOU NEED

Well, it's actually really easy to do. You can even take all the things you need in mid game, and i'd suggest to keep a SL60 for a great invade range.
"GiantDad" consists of 5 parts:

• The Chaos Zweihander + 5 (a.k.a the Bass Cannon)
  
• The Mask of the Father
  
• Grass Crest Shield
  
• Giant set
  
• Rings (Havel's Ring, Favor and Protection)
  
  
  The Mask of the Father is the only item that maybe will be annoying to get, only because it's a drop of Pinwheel. And he actually can drop one of his three masks, one between the Mask of the Father, Mother and Son. But dont worry at all, you can easly farm it before Nito, or buy it later from that rascal of Patches for 8000 souls.
  
  Upgrading the The Chaos Zweihander is pretty easy. But if you still need some red titanite chunk, you can farm those you need from the Chaos Eater in Lost Izalith. And remember that you have to upgrade it from Vamos, the blacksmith of the Catacombs.
  
  
  

TO COMPLETE THE BUILD

Oh right, don't forget to take the gesture from Carim, after the Gargoyles, "Well, What is it?".












It's really important to spam it before
and after you've powned your opponent
LUL









For what concerns rings, you have to use the Havel's ring (+50% Max Equip) and the Ring of Favor and Protection (+20% to Max HP, Max Stamina and Max Equip, but breaks when removed).

GIT GUD

That's a simple demonstration about the effectiveness of the build:

All these losers arguing over the effectiveness of an old meme build. You all are the reason pvp is so boring in this game now. No one cares if the build is "funny but irrelevant", its a joke build that's meant to be fun.

[Knightmage Bael]

Regular PvP combat has fallen out of practice a long time ago. DS and DS:R pvp meta has been backstabbing for years. This build is funny but irrelevant ^^;

[someoneyouknows]

so true based and chaos pill

[Nurvis]

all these people arguing over the PVP effectiveness of a MEME build makes me wish we still had natural predators

The BKH was better in PVE, so it didn't do the best there either. You wouldn't be GiantDad until you were almost done with the game, if not on NG+ anyways.

If you wanted to adapt this to actually be minmaxed, swap the Mother's Mask in over the Father's, and replace the Zwei/Bass Cannon with something better like the Claymore. Then you'll really stomp in PVP.

I'd know, I've done this on the original and remaster many times.

Lumpy, GiantDad was never good at all. At all. You are misinformed. The original video was a joke, and the entire thing was a meme.

Yes, you used to be able to dead angle shields, and they patched it out. But this wasn't exclusive to GiantDad. Many, many weapons could dead angle shields, and much better weapons could do it with no risk involved. The Zweihander was always extremely easy to parry, and while the it was great in PVE, it suffered in PVP from the extremely long windup times on your attacks.

Not to mention the Father's Mask has never ever been optimal. If you take the points it saves you of END and put them in VIT, it was worse than the Mother's Mask. Instead of the Father's Mask, you should level up END 6 more times and then equip the Mother's Mask, saving you 2 Soul Levels over GiantDad.

now it's patched tho, so giant dad is not OP anymore at all. it abused a bug that exlusive to giant dad

[Olimoo]

does no one actually know hwy this was good??? it was good because u could swing through shields with a correct angling. You'd just poise tank and spam r1 w/o targetting and they had to roll it.

This build is for people with no talents, I never disconnect, but if I get killed by this unfair trash build I disconnect and everybody should do the same, this thing is just for retarded people that can only press one button. So disconnect if you lose against a build like this, give them no quarrel since it's just broken!
