Turns out this setup also works on male characters! I didn't think it would due to the turn around Moveswap not working for male characters in PTDE. But this version of the setup in Remastered works for both male and female characters!
tough as hell to pull off but cool glitch! didnt have the stats for the bow i was trying it with and it wasnt working but then switched to shortbow and works consistently
i can get it to 2 hand the weapon in the left hand slot, however there is no, move set swap, it is just the move set of what ever weapon i have in my left hand slot
I'm having trouble with the glitch, I get the "Use selected item" over my stamina bar, however, the animation of the item (throwing knife) is still executed, which probably leads to the moveswap not working.
Is there something specific about swapping weapons after jumping? I can do the jumping thing with darksign, and it goes black just like it does for you. But when I try to equip the weapon after the bow the glitch stops working and I see no results.
This is awesome! It even works with keyboard and mouse.
Also, here are a few things I've discovered while doing a bit of testing:
– switching from bow to a weapon when turning should be done later than earlier – for some reason, I can only transfer from thrusting swords (like rapier) and curved swords (like falchion). Could be smth with different animations, could be skill issue 🤷 EDIT : you can swap from other weapons by changing the rapier right before equipping the bow – you can transfer to pretty much any weapon (even stuff like whips and shields work). You can even "transfer" to catalysts, talismans and pyromancy flames, although game gets confused and you can't attack (can still cast spells tho) – game threats the weapon in the left hand as a bow that was two-handed. Thanks to that, the glitch stays even if you use an item (like estus), rest at bonfire, quit the game, or even die – changing the weapons (even the secondary ones) breaks the glitch – the transferred attacks are – running attack, backstep attack (these two have the same animation), attack after dodging, and plunging attack. The attacks that aren't transferred – normal attacks, heavy attacks. Obviously, you can't perform a riposte, since you can't parry (cuz you're two-handing a weapon, duh), but for some reason you also can't backstab. When doing a jumping attack, a heavy attack is done instead for some reason – you can't buff the weapon in the left hand. Buffs include resins (probably because the game thinks you're trying to imbue a bow, which isn't doable without glitches) and spells (because you can't use a staff while two-handing a weapon, duh). – I haven't tested it, but if you buff the first weapon (rapier in the vid), the second one (bk sword in the vid) probably won't get the buff of the first weapon – self buffs from items (like eating Green Blossom) can be used during the glitch. Self buffs from spells (like Power Within) can be used before the glitch is performed, but not during the glitch (because swapping the weapon greaks the glitch)
I think that's all I've discovered. Also, as I said, running and attacking has the same animation as backsteping and attacking. The backstep attack is quicker (and thus better) IMO, at least if you want to spam the double hit attack from the rapier
Also also, I'd love for this message to get pinned 👀😳, so people can see it and potentially get answers to some of their questions
I've been trying to get this to work on the switch version, but it seems like every time I get the timing down it only ends up using the dark sign, making the prompt appear and not the pause menu
Been trying the jumping technique for a couple or hours now, and it's either I'm too slow or hit the sequence too fast. Let me know if anyone has gotten this to work on Switch!
does this work on console? i’ve done everything over and over, even using the same weapons yu show in the example just in case and al it does is make me 2 hand them like normal
Still at it after a couple more hours of practice on Switch, but no success no far. I have my jump button on my Left Joystick Press, so my fingers dont have to curve as much to hit the buttons fast enough, but I've heard that the Switch version does run a little different from other consoles. I know we dont have access to the Fall Control Glitch, that's for sure!
I was consistently getting the swap and then I can’t anymore. Was it patched?
Edit: I should add that I can still get the “use selected item” text to pop up. It just swings my left handed weapon when I let go of the left bumper
Edit 2: I got it to work. I guess there's a slight timing as to when you swap from bow to new weapon? Idk I was doing it with no issues until I couldn't anymore and I restarted the game and now it's good again lol
I have a question: does this moveswap work with any weapon other than the rapier? I have not been able to moveswap with the running attack of any other weapon class. If I try with a straight sword, or greatsword, or anything else, it doesn't work. You just end up holding the two weapons in each hand.
So for example, I have not been able to use the running attack of e.g. an ultra greatsword while holding a dagger.
EDIT: I have done it with dagger and thrusting sword movesets so far. This setup does not seem to work with straight sword, greatsword, ultra greatsword, or most other weapon classes afaik

i can't get this to work at all. i don't understand how I get "Use selected item" to appear in the first place.
edit: got use selected item to appear, equipped the bow and turned around while swapping to weapon and it doesn't two-hand it
works like a charm W guide
2:35 what do you mean by start button? Im using a ps5 controller
so what's the difference between this and PTDE's moveswap?
Bro, i cant seem to jump while holind block, i only roll ? Any suggestions
Does this not work anymore on the PS5?
I can get the glitch to work but the weapon will not two hand.
tough as hell to pull off but cool glitch! didnt have the stats for the bow i was trying it with and it wasnt working but then switched to shortbow and works consistently
does this work on pc steam version, I'm seeing the menu pop after the item use but cannot see the "use selected item" text.

This is just ds2 rapier now

I watched a speedrunner do this and thought it was suuuuper difficult, thank you for the explanation lol.
Its a dark sign for all the bosses when you use the bks as a rapier

Praise it broski 💙🥰
I really cannot get this to work. Male, Estoc, Longbow, BKH. It doesn't two-hand in the end. the rest seems to work fine…
Edit: Nevermind, i equipped BKH too early
Does fat rolling make the roll one easier?
It legit just opens the menu and uses the item, then opens the menu again, no matter the timing I perform it at.
Much WOW you earned a sub
