Streaming archives and speedrun interest pushed players to revisit an old exploit, the DARK SOULS 1 Zweihander Glitch That Broke The Game again.
**
DARK SOULS 1 Zweihander Glitch That Broke The Game is an equip animation cancel that removes attack frames. This technique lets you swing infinitely with instant recovery. Studies indicate manipulating weapon state creates massive damage per hit.
**
With input buffering, you queue an attack during recovery. Canceling the equip lag removes downtime, letting one weapon strike continuously. Research shows this bypasses enemy contact, skewing encounter design.
**
One-line takeaway exploit grants near unstoppable DPS by weapon-swinging canceling.

Q: Does this work in NG+ playthroughs?
A: Yes, the engine behavior remains identical, making NG+ just as vulnerable.
Q: Can patches remove this technique entirely?
A: Server patches and client updates both can block the inputs used.
