Our favourite weapon expert, Matt Easton, of Schola Gladiatoria, is back on IGN to react to even more weapons! Matt is an all around sword, historic weapon and HEMA expert, and today he'll be taking a look at IGN's Game of the Year for 2022, Elden Ring.

From the rapier like Bloody Helice, to the absurd Axe of Godfrey and the deadly Nightrider Flail, Matt breaks down just how realistic these weapons are, how they're used and what they could be inspired by.

Matt Easton is a Historical European Martial Artist, Antique Arms Dealer, and owner of the fencing club Schola Gladiatoria.

  • It helps that the axe of Godfrey originally belonged to a guy who was like 9 feet tall and ripped.
  • @CoolaKai
    Missed opportunity to show him the actual Urumi.
  • He respects the fantasy setting of the game so much, and honestly that made the content more enjoyable than a lot of other experts reacting to video games. My guy straight up fall in love with the Helice despite of its ridiculous design. Please do bring him back, From Software has plenty of weapons in their catalogue of games to nitpick
  • @WeyounSix
    My favorite thing is this guy takes the world that the swords take place in seriously as a part of their story and that is really cool
  • @pongopea
    keep bringing this guy back, he's great
  • 1:25 "This is a fantasy setting, so I'm not going to worry about that." Man I'm love the way he approaches this topic. It has always annoyed me, in these types of videos, that experts were taking those fantasy weapons at face value. This guy is appreciating the fantasy-aspect of it, commenting on the creativity of it, instead of talking it down as merely unrealistic and useless. We know it is unrealistic; it's fantasy. Thank you for seeing that.
  • The thing about the bloody helice (corkscrew blade) is that in game it has a passive bleed effect on the weapon so it actually kind of makes sense when considering that the cyclone knife leaves a wound that is very difficult to treat.
  • It's a shame wild strikes wasn't used on the flail, very representative of maintaining momentum
  • @22Mathers
    They should have showcased the larger weapons being wielded with 2 hands.
  • Should’ve shown him the Nox Flowing weapons, would love to see what he would think of them.
  • Let's not forget that these characters have godly levels of strength
  • @Dujma
    Can't wait for ep.10 of this when we get to the ringed finger
  • @Jono793
    Matt: if you're going to hold a greatsword in each hand, why not wield a halberd in each hand? Or a pike in each hand? Elden Ring: Yes! 😅
  • @Cy-y5i
    My favorite part is that he gives the strength benefit of a doubt, acknowledging that these characters are incredibly strong
  • @nobi3460
    1:15 "causes huge blood loss quickly" this game has fried my brain
  • This is one of the most in depth expert reacts I've ever seen, please keep continuing this series!
  • Hoslow's Petal Whip is a sick weapon in the game lol
