So I'm in Irithyll using my good ol' fisting build. I'm in the area right after Pontiff Sulyvahn. I kill some deacons, and destroy some giants. I go into the secret room with the two giant beasts. One was already dead from before, so I only had to fought one. I kill it, but I use three estus since I'm only wearing pants. Everything's good! Then... I see an Aldritch Faithful come sliding down the ladder. I see what weapon he's using (the Greatsword) and I chuckle to myself. It was a pretty fair fight, considering I used a fist weapon and he used a giant sword the size of a grown man. There was a lot of healing in that fight; he may have done more damage per hit, but I easily have a higher dps. He lands an insanely hard hit that almost kills me, and I have no more estus to heal with. However, due to my amount of skill and his lack of skill, I don't let him hit me again. I hit him with the best one-two punch I can, and he drops dead. Gone. L8 n3rd. However, during that fight, another Aldritch Faithful invades me. And after killing the first one, I only gain two estus- enough to get me back to full health. I see him slide down the ladder, and wave to him. He doesn't wave back, so I'm a little salty. I see he's using the Hollowslayer Greatsword, so I brace myself. BUT THIS SWORD, IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER SWORD. THERE'S A REASON IT'S CALLED THE "Hyper Armor Blender"! He hits me once, and then twice as I'm unable to roll since Dark Souls 3 has no poise. I roll out, and start to land some hits to counter his. But this is when the hyper-armor comes into play. His sword didn't stop swinging, and I didn't have any healing items. I basically accepted my defeat and just... cried internally.

Moral of the story: ''Don't use the Greatsword. It's just not that good. It's the Fume's brother and it sucks.''
