Silver Claymore Glitch in Elden Ring
**
Before Patch 8.2, You Could Abuse This Silver Claymore Glitch! is an animation cancel bug. It lets you spam charged attacks without recovery. Studies indicate this trick broke early endgame pacing and item balance.
**
These frames reset stamina and hitboxes unexpectedly. You input roll just as impact lands, slipping through enemy tracking. Research shows this opened safe windows for farming tough bosses and speedrun routes.
**
Holding L2/LT and pressing attack repeatedly works. The game treats the swing and guard as simultaneous, sidestepping lock on. Some speedrun categories still reference this for route skips, even after the fix.
**
That frame data trick turns heavy weapons into spammable pseudo-ranged tools. You sacrifice no stamina, yet keep pressing pressure on bosses. Studies show such quirks shaped player theorycraft long before the patch.
**
Now the cancel window is closed, reining in abuse. Patch 8.2 adjusted hitboxes and recovery timings to stop it. Check patch notes when hunting endgame collectibles or leaderboard exploits.
