Moveswap in Dark Souls Remastered

A quick video covering the discovery of the Moveswap glitch in Dark Souls Remastered and a tutorial and how to do it. Enjoy!

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!

Finally, i can hit with a dagger and slash like zweihander

Bows involved in a move swap glitch? Congratulations, you just triggered my Vietnam flashback from ds3 machine-gun great bow

I'd love a technical breakdown on how this glitch works (if it's known). Super cool discovery.

Hey thanks for crediting me ! Pretty happy with this new glitch, i hope everyone will have fun using it

[BloodZangetsu]

this, and the bloodborne running on PC is just an entire soulsborne W ngl

a rapier moveset on a BKH or any BK weapon for that matter is insane.

This is perfect! I've always wanted to wield my Black Knight Greatsword like a halberd!

I love it when new discoveries are found in videogames even years after the game was released.

I can't wait to see how speedrunners will manage their runs now.

3:31 we got sexism in dark souls before gta 6

Had forgotten that this wasn't rediscovered for remastered. Splendid job my guy

The speedrunning scene for remastered just got hit with the coldest bucket of water in existence

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

[ludoferre]

This is what i needed, it takes some tries to figure out the timing but it's just incredible

[MitchellGwr]

Awesome discovery mate, can't wait to see how this will be utilized for future speedruns.

[MetalGear]

I watched a speedrunner do this and thought it was suuuuper difficult, thank you for the explanation lol.

[BrianM_rd]

I think I vaguely remember an old Catalytsz vid explaining it has something to do with female characters having an extra transition animation or something that male characters don't, right? Or maybe it was the other way around... Either way, super cool discovery! Happy the channel has been doing so well lately too.

Wow I learned the dragon tooth route for dark souls years ago and this might make me come back and learn again one day, this is cool af.

Girlboss percent is now a real category

Noway, I can accomplish my dream of having Zweihander attack like it's a straight sword.
