Forging the [Coiled Sword] - Dark Souls 3
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 เม.ย. 2021
- This week Aleksey forges the coiled sword from Dark Soul 3. Along the way he demonstrates a lot of classical blacksmithing techniques and shares some tips and tricks with us that we may not normally use during bladesmithing. He shows how to texture using special dies on the power hammer, how to use an air powered chisel to increase efficiency and much much more. This a great blacksmithing project to create the coiled sword and gives us a break from the standard grind of a bladesmithing project. Hopefully soon we will be making something from Elden Ring!

Imagine after being forged, he gives it to you and says:
-Prithee, be careful. I don't want to see my work squandered, *Hee Hee Hee*
Or "Be careful out there. Neither of us want to see you go hollow"
ANDRE DOESN'T GIVE YOU THAT WEAPON GET THE LORE RIGHT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
@@prawngravy18 I was just making an ingame reference for something that could be said by him irl.
But If you get exquisite I gota tell you that assuming Andre didn't forge that weapon in the past for the first chosen undead, neither did ludleth since he already sacrificed himself alongside all the other lords of cinder to relink the first flame, which only lets the ashen one craft that with the soul of the lords from Soul of cinder.
@@prawngravy18 I’m sure Andre would upgrade it for you. Prithee, be careful! I don’t want to see m’work squandered!
That *Hee Hee Hee* made me laugh thank you
I could never be a blacksmith because whenever I see the glowing metal the primal caveman brain deep inside of me wants to touch it
if you coat your hand in water and do it fast you'll be fine.
Although disclaimer: DON'T
Only takes a couple times doing it before you knock that shit off. Hell I check most of the metal I pick up with the back of my hand first.
Forbidden popsicle
Thaaaaaat... could be a problem indeed. That being said, even for the dumbest caveman, one time is enough for knowing not to do this gain, I guess.
It’s very difficult. Me want touch
It looks bad ass, but it's essentially a metal stick, the Soul of Cinder was literally beating us to death with a stick.
Aren't swords in general really sharp metallic stick? Now that I think about it aren't every conflict before the invention of Firearms just people beating and throwing sharp sticks to each other till one of them dies?
It doesn't matter how heavy or sharp it is, if it has the power it has the damage
@@ender72a75 with the twist that a coilesword has, the blade would be in a spiral, making the blade useless. so the coiled sword is more like a club than a sword
That is until phase 2 where the blade flattens(while also maintaining the twisting blade) where it becomes a greatsword
@@RX0_GundamUnicorn I was talking about the craftable version. but that works too
Alright now it's time to make Moonlight Greatsword.
The Bloodborne version plssss
@@Cypher178 ds3 version is prettier
@@angrye-tonlittleton9853 though I disagree, I feel the most insurmountable challenge (other than ridiculous scale and mass) would likely be found in somehow replicating the astrophysical appearance of the blade as it was depicted in bloodborne at least, so a rendition from one of the other mainline souls games with a less demanding premise is truly all we can request I suppose
Dark souls 2 version 🙂
Demon's souls version
Fight me nerds
i love that you actually forge stuff rather than plasma cut everything
It definitely makes a huge difference in some instances. Every time I see another channel male a so-called "Damascus" blade (it's actually just pattern welded, but that's a whole other rant,) they do the lazy thing and plasma cut the tip to shape. It sucks because then the pattern in the metal just continues right off the tip of the knife. When you forge the tip the pattern of the metal actually curves with the tip the way it's supposed to. Ilya, unsurprisingly, is the master of this sort of thing.
Well that is what actual blacksmiths do, so, who the hell has been plasma cutting shit?
I'm getting sick of plasma cut blanks too...it's almost like putting actual craftsmanship into a build makes the content more appealing...novel thought I know
@@NickC_222 it's Alec Steele isn't it?
how would you plasma cut this lol
The Lords of Cinder would be proud of this, it looks perfect! Long may the sun shine!
Fare the well, Ashen One.
hahahaha
Praise!
@@ThatWorks The Sun!
How the fuck is this even a sword, it doesn't cut jack SHIT!
Would be amazing to see them try making the Onyx Blade. An incredibly detailed, unique looking sword. Would be a lot of difficult work, but would be an absolute beauty.
Would rather see them make the fume ultra greatsword
If anyone can make and showcase the FUGS actually being used. Then I will respect them for all time
@@murkwithasmirk6877 There is a european steampunk man, I can't remember his channel name, and his whole channel is him just making massive things and using them. I wish I could remember the name but I remember him making a massive sword from an anime and swing it around.
@@colbycraig7679 I think I know the video your talking about and if that's the case than that was the Crucible from doom, not an anime sword.
@@planetmaker3472 He may have made a crucible sword but the video I remember was a big rectangle sword that was not the crucible for sure.
EDIT: Found it! he goes by the name michaelcthulhu on youtube
Now that I've seen it in real life, it makes me wonder-
Just how strong is the Ashen One that they can stab this thing into things and do more than just bludgeon them a bit? How much force is behind that swing that it can do slash damage?
A little late perhaps, but in game it's not made of iron and hot as HELL, so it's basically a really heavy lightsaber
"Nameless, accursed undead, unfit even to be cinder. And so it is..."
That Ash seeketh embers
Conniptions
Ignorant slaves...
*gives me conniptions*
finally taken notice, have you?
Other swords that have unusual, crunchy textures are the Nazgul's blades from the Lord of the Rings, it'd be cool to see you guys replicate that super dirty look too.
I love Nazgul weapons! Could happen
@@ThatWorks If u r taking votes for Nazgul weapons, I want to put my vote towards the Witch King's sword w/ all the small details on cross-guard, pommel, and the middle section between the upper and lower separate grips. It would be awesome to see this blade w/ texturization. Additionally, I have always imagined the Witch King's sword in Game of Thrones world. So a crossover type sword! Basically, Witch King's sword made out of high contrast Damascus (not sure if Damascus looks good w/ texturized look?).
Dream sword right there!
@@ThatWorks hell yeah
@@ThatWorks 10:00 Dosvidanya!
would be nice it it was in 2 languages though.
@@marhawkman303 you can see the Russian version on their channel
5:13
You know you're doing an authentic Dark Souls replica when even the tools need to keep their cool
It always amazes me how someone can turn a billet of normal steel into something absolutely amazing
I can't even begin to imagine the process, my monkey brain isn't big enough
when he said "this will be made with very little grinding, ironically i want to talk about our sponsor..." i really thought he was gonna say Grindr
😏
Hahahaha..
That would’ve been the fastest unfollow ever
@@dennisnordlund902 WEAKLING
Unlike the game lol. Getting that sword in game requires a ton of grinding.
The codename for this project was: "From Russia with Love"
Yup
@@ThatWorks wait really?
@@ThatWorks why?
@@ThatWorks Hey guys! Can you please build a Croatian weapon in honor of my heritage.
@@kermitthefrog8404 because russia is good
I had to cry at the showcase, I don't know why...
I am going through a lot and I am starting therapy next week. A lot of emotions and things going through my head. Knowing that video games help a bit with coping and seeing this brought to live with an eye for detail, lore and black smiting techniques... it just broke me. Thank you guys for the amazing work
Imagine a Forged in Fire episode wherein the contestants are told to make anything they can think of within an hour and someone just pulls up with this
The equivalent of hitting someone with a weaponized Rebar. Love it.
At least it’s not the dragon tooth
@@diobrando9842 "So, we went ahead and decided to go hunt down a dragon after forging the coiled sword. Now ee have to make some adjustments and flatten the top of the tooth, and we have the dragon tooth!"
8:04 "That portion right there"
*shields eyes*
"Uh-huh, I see it"
Easy fix
@@ThatWorks this can be unhealthy and eye straining for many people. Watched it on the TV in a dark room and ... I felt that.
9:57 Всё видео на английском, а характеристики меча написали на русском? Красавчики)
Ковал кузнец из России, канал называется Bellerophon studio
Правильно, пусть изучают!
These guys are amazing at what they do. I love seeing the process and the outcomes of the weapons plus i learn so much
Achievement Unlocked (Matt’s beard): approaching Epic Level
Its getting there!
@@ThatWorks Oh we’ll be watching 😏
truly is majestic
Damn, I wanted to see him hit the water bottles with the force of Concord to cut the bottle.
Thought about it but it’s not a weapon in the game
even if they used it they would only be able to pierce and smash stuff, i dont think you can cut with it
@@jwanikpo still worth it
@@jwanikpo It still be good for like an estoc sword type stabbing machine.
@@jwanikpo As said above, Estoc is a thing. It is a piercing weapon with a very rigid blade and meant for ramming the blade through the weaker mail protected portions of a full plate armor. It is like a Longsword version of the Rondel Dagger. It can only thrust, not cut, but it is very good at it.
Super happy to see that you're still making content, Matt. This was an amazing build.
Wow amazing work, it looks awesome!
If you're looking for some suggestions for future swords, these are my favorites:
1. Bloodborne: Ludwig's Holy Blade (it would be super cool to see you guys build the sheath as well and it'd still be wieldable in its transformed state!)
2. Dark Souls: Silver Knight Straight Sword
3. Dark Souls: Dark Sword
I would love to have that sword as my gravestone xD
mine too bruh
SAME
But if it was then you would never see it...
Then when the curse occurs you have a sword in your inventory to start.
@@jacemoran1190 someone's gonna loot it before that happens
As some years subscriber for Bellerophone studio, I'm greeting this choice
Або щось по типу цього, вітаю також інших підписників Олексія
They are great!
Absolutely gorgeous!
What would happen to the sword of you were to leave it in the centre of a bonfire for a long time? Would the sword weaken and break from the heating and cooling?
something like that actually exists in dark souls 2! the primal bonfires have been around so long that their sword has melted in half - at least thats what i always assumed
i imagine you'd get a lot of deformation over time just from gravity and the weight of the blade
As always, a beautiful build from Bellerophon and from That Works. Keep up the good work guys, its always a sight to see when you present a new project
This turned out great! Another vote for the Dragonslayer Spear
I want to see that.
Dragon slayer swordspear would be super nice my favourite weapon
I can't even express how absolutely amazing this is
I’m happy you guys are still making videos and having fun. Best of luck in your future endeavours.
I like how blacksmithing today has basically turned to "I'm gonna make the least practical weapons that still somewhat resemble real weapons"
well the weapon is practical in where it comes from, its literally a sword that is lit ablaze by the the first flame, and during the soc boss fight its still smoldering hot like it just came out of a furnace, its more of a burning weapon, that & it can still impale you
@@tru3boc ………and the greatsword form has one secret power …………. To make you cry plin plin plon
To be fair I feel like we probably aren't going to be needing to actually use a sword in battle any time soon
Thanks to Bellerophone Studio for making this build! Be sure to check out Red Label Abrasives for all of your sanding needs. Also check out our new discord channel where we can interact even more ! discord.gg/Svfcgh4G
Matt shilling for an abrasives company is probably the most on point sponsorship I've ever seen.
Do you sell these? 😲
Was that build all in Iron? The specs at the end were in Russian, I couldn't tell what it said.
Could you guys make the Blade of the East from Fallout New Vegas? Legate Lanius's repurposed car bumper sword was wicked cool and scary in the game...
@@RickD5468 I can't read russian, but i saw 50HRC in there. So i assume thats the material
2:57 this is actually Skyrim with some dark souls themed mods, the sword in the fire is a one-handed ebony sword... if anyone was wondering
oh yeah and that's Vvardenfell and Red Mountain in the background
I thought i was the only one who noticed that lol
Started scrolling specifically to see if anyone else noticed XD
Yeah it was so stupid I laughed
Came here to see if anybody else had noticed
I come back here every once in a while to rewatch all my favourites of yours. This is definitely the one that makes me feel the most emotion. I got Dark Souls on launch way back in 2011 (I think) and just seeing the amount of care put into recreating the coiled sword makes me feel things I didn't know I had. You guys are the best :)
"add the coiled sword to our Dark Souls Armoury" Oooh, looks like I've a few vids to catch up on so. Great work lads!
I'm ready for linking the fire
:D
4:54 u think we dont see Yhorm's greataxe back there? I hope we get a video for that
nah the onyx blade
You're tripping. Yhorm doesn't have a great axe lmaooo
It’s a machete, but he’s still right since the game puts it in the “greataxe” category, probably due to the moveset.
Love the finesse and high quality of work you guys put into these weapons.
This is absolutely beautiful! Amazing work of art! Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Aleksey really loves his work, and it shows! It's awesome that you're featuring Bellerophone Studio on your channel!
FOUR YEARS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. FOUR. YEARS. THANK YOU.
Love what you guys do. Thank you for your time, heart, and passion you put into all your work/videos.
The presentation of the finished product along with the music was god-tier.
I loved Dark Souls.I was hoping you would do the sword of the first flame.
:D
Amazing build. Well done 👏. If you guys aren't tired of Dark Souls swords I would suggest Slave Knight Gael's sword. I feel with its broken down appearance as well it would be a great opportunity to show really unique techniques
the coiling of the handle was SO satisfying to watch.
I agree with you about bringing the art into the modern day.
All I can say is a true master, no matter their age of origin knows 2 things
They know to learn from the past
They know to keep the art alive it must belong to the hearts of the future.
All you folks in your team are following the masters path!😁 Love to see your work as always.
With that you can finally make Londor whole!
lol
Our lord and liege.
When forging a sword from the game is easier than the game.....
So true
"You have died" (This /is/ Dark Souls...)
But Dark Souls is incredibly easy?
@@kiwirar5885 i'd say it depends on the person
@@zoronic4345 Experience
I would love to be able to get my hands on one of those, it looks amazing!
I just want to say I have a lot of respect for a channel that promotes a product because they actually like it and use it regularly. Really helps the credibility of both the channel _and_ the sponsor.
If you guys want to do more from Dark Souls, personally, I would love to see the Black Knight Halberd, it's always struck me as such a beautiful weapon.
every black knight weapon let's gooo >:D
It’s based off of a real historical weapon. I think it’s called something like the dragon glaive or something.
Watching this honestly made me emotional. The dark souls franchise means so much to me and I hope one day I can have a coiled sword to make a backyard bonfire one day.
This is so cool that I can't believe I'm crying watching the final presentation!
Exceptional work! Both on the sword and the video itself! Pleasure to watch!
Would love to see you guys make a lanseax and a daneaxe in a traditional manner. Would go with the spear, and ulfbert you've already made
Soon!
Aleksey absolutely smashing it again with the "rough with intent" look. I feel like this piece would have been easy to just twist some bar and call it a day, but the extra detail really makes a difference.
That part with the ash at the end is a really nice touch with the music, may all the hero who burnt themselves to keep the world alight rest in peace.
so freaking epic looking sword the details are
exquisite, pure art.
Narrator dude, you’ve got a bright future in broadcasting. Absolutely perfect tone. The charisma!
I absolutely love the work you guys do because Blacksmithing is like, super cool to me, if I wasn't terrified of fire, I'd be a blacksmith.. or a chef, one or the other (I'm slightly clumsy and had a bit of a traumatic experience with fire as a kid)
It looks fantastic.
this is the most beautiful piece i have ever seen
I swear that every time I look away, another video of an amazing build pops up that I just cant resist. Love it, hoping for many more in the future.
It's so cool to see ya guys supporting each other. Both channels are doing insane builds and it's a big pleasure to see how do you creating them.
Outstanding, simply beautiful. You've done us proud.
absolutely insane. awesome talent
God I so hope to see you make a Golden Sun sword, Felix's concept art sword or the Gaia Blade with a bronze finish (if not a bronze blade)
Hmmmm
YES THIS!
I dunno if it would be possible with swords, but the machine shop I work at does a lot of work with stainless steel. When you heat treat stainless to 900F using the H900 heat treating method, it turns a beautiful golden bronze color. We only get it up to 43-46 on the Rockwell scale though, and I believe swords have to be a lot harder than that. Still be cool to see a sword made from stainless and heat treated that way though, even if it would be a wall hanger.
@@ThatWorks so many good swords in golden sun plus a great game
@@murphsmodels8853 I mean, bronze swords were a thing and are way softer than steel ones. You basically fix the dents on them by hammering them cold. So I don't think it'd be an issue to use your treatment, might be cheaper than using bronze too !
It's Art..... really work of art
It's not a weapon, it's art. That is also a weapon.
i'll slap the shit out of you with that sword
OMG That blade texture 🖤
Great work on this, the coiling techniques were brilliant to watch.
I'd be excited to see how you handle the much more exotic and out-there designs of the games, say, the Dragonslayer Swordspear.
I was a big fan of Man at Arms back in the day but immediately lost interest when all they started doing was machining and grinding everything.
This is back to what I like to see. :)
What's machining and grinding?
9:50 - Uff looks like for this awesome blade, some actual blood has been shed - hope his hand is fine again!
as a struggling materials and metallurgy engineering student these kinds of videos makes me not hate my department
Props to the smith on that great work. Very talented
Ended up looking even better than I thought it would. Praise the sun y'all!
The texture on that blade is incredible, sweet build.
Man, you guys absolutely need to make a bonfire display stand for this. It came out *beautiful*
You guys even lit it on fire at the end, fucking phenomenal. You guys are great.
This is so cool! My husband was watching Man At Arms and I kind of fell in love with all the beautiful work you do... so I found you! :)
You're getting so much better at the photography with this videos, I'm really proud of you Matt!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This was fantastic!
Absolutely incredible work!!! And I liked a lot of the whole video direction.
That guy is such an awesome blade smith. Those twists on the blade were so even, like they were made on a lathe🙌
The irony is that he said several times that he's not that experienced of a bladesmith - he's a good blacksmith instead. He makes tons of decorative railings and fences, thus his craftsmanship with coils and such.
Forge In Fire be like: Sir your sword wouldn't kill!
Could if you hit hard enough!
@@kevgmei i think thrusts should work as well
Surprisingly not accurate. The Coiled swords edge isnt blunt, just twisted around. The blade would actually be MORE dangerous then your standard blade simply due to the particulars of parrying. With that design, a bladed parry would result more then likely in your blade twisting out of your hand and the Coiled sword slicing happily into your forearm.
Edit: with a solid sheild, this would cease to be an issue, but even then actually blocking with a shield is like to shatter your arm.
Absolutely beautiful
Oh my God it's beautiful! 😭 This gave me goosebumps
Wow this looks amazing. I hope you guys do more dark souls videos. That series has so many interesting and iconic weapons. Personally I would love to see the Dragonslayer Spear or the Bewitched Alonne sword
I’d be more interested in Ornstein’s spear than Alonne’s sword :
I’d wager both would be difficult to create given the details on the first one and the absurd length and thinness of the other, but precisely because of all those intricate details on the spear compared to merely the technical difficulty of forging such a sword, I’d prefer seeing them try their hand at the spear.
Or they can try creating Gwyn’s sword, good luck even lifting it up the ground XD
@@nathanjora7627 True that Ornstiens Spear would be a real fun build but the Alonne sword would actually be an excellent opportunity for another of the historical builds as it's basically a traditional nagamaki with very few fantasy elements. I actually commented on a previous historical build that I would like to see one on that particular type of blade so I see that one as a win-win
@@nathanjensen7825 Well, I’m not an expert, or even a buff, but searching for historical analogies for Alonne’s sword I couldn’t even come close to finding a sword that thin and that long.
I could find pretty long sword, but not nearly as much of both. Hell, even normal katanas seem thicker (in both depth and the... dimension perpendicular to length, the word escapes me for now)
So I don’t know about the « historical » part. Honestly, the sword he has in game looks like it’d bend or snap at the first strike :|
@@nathanjora7627 the historical ones were classed as a polearm from my understanding. Probably why you can't find it
@@nathanjensen7825 If you have any reference I’d be glad :D
It strikes me as counterintuitive though, the handle isn’t that long (on alonne’s sword specifically) but the blade is enormous, hardly see how it’d qualify as a pole arm :|
I was literally just watching a Dark Souls 3 video and then this notification popped up. Can't wait to see you guys link the First Flame with this bad boy.
Seriously this is such a sick build. Dark Souls is also still sorely underrepresented in fantasy sword replicas.
@@perrytran9504 yeah, love the fact that FromSoftware mixes historical and wacky fantasy weapon designs without ruining the lore and aesthetics
@@antonior4220 It makes you wonder who they consult for history - because either they do that or have some artists who consult historical artwork themselves. While their "grounded" swords aren't super accurate, their grounded armor seems to have a lot of thought put behind it compared to many franchises. Comparing their original Fluted set to the lame redone version by Bluepoint is probably the best example I can come up with.
Amazing work, good job!!
I want one it looks amazing very well done
Damn... Now I wanna see them making the Mea Culpa from Blasphemous
Me too
A highly deatiled hilt i see
Doesn't that sword have thorns in the handle just like the start of the blade?
The handle is the picture of the virgin mary
@@aaronbustamante9282 Well, then I said nothing.
I have every achievement and countless hours in this game. A true souls veteran. Thank you guys for making this piece.
Glad we could make it happen for you!
What’s next ?
@@ThatWorks The Hollowslayer greatsword from dark souls 3!!!
Great work! It’s looks awesome!
The coiled sword is more than a weapon. Its a symbol of how something created as a weapon has evolved into a central tool of keeping the world alive. Even if it no longer serves its original purpose, it now serves a much greater one.
My request has been listened by the forge gods
Glad we could help
do even mooooooooooore dark souls build please :D
This one turned out awesome and the lothric sword was just unreal. This game has so many cool weapons (Splitleaf Greatsword, Dragonslayer Spear, Dragonslayer Greataxe, ...)
I think the Dragonslayer greataxe may be a little bit too difficult for them just now XD
I’d love to see the sword of Astora though, probably the most iconic sword that managed to be in more than one darksouls (except the coiled sword of course). Technically speaking only the starting weapons made it through all three games unchanged, but I don’t think it’d be really all that impressive to have them create « generic straightsword nº288401 » ^^’
*starting weapons and Ornstein’s spear + 2/3 of BK weapons
Morion's blade? XD
@@hornet6679 that one is very nice too. I totally forgot it :o
Awesomely done!
