Brisingr - Eragon - MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED 

Agreed! The film was a travesty almost on par with a uwe boll film (think of blood rain or ugh...doom). As for this sword, it has a true deadly beauty to it. As expected of something made of two of the most sought after steel's forged by Ilia's artistic hand.

Actually, they paid as little attention to the book as the movie did. The book sword is described as a hand and a half sword with simple, yet elegant furniture and a blue blade. The craftsmanship is very nice on this, but Rhunon would be disgusted with all the extravagance that serves no functional purpose.

But still not nearly enough. Considering they couldn't even pronounce the name correctly.

Oh my god thank you for pointing out they were saying brisingr wrong

Brisingr wasnt in the movie the sword in the movie was Zar'roc

That's so cool. One of the best percs of becoming known must be seeing others loving your creation and dedicating time, effort, work and love to honour what you created. At least that's what would humble me most. And THIS right here is a whole other level of tribute.

He’s such a sword nerd. That’s hilarious.

I wish it was more blue but it is good

yea I was there.

Skol 🍻

Rodney AK-81 nice

lol I thought my headphones broke.

Yes thank God your here!

Mach II sword

Probably copyright reasons

They also made the handle too long, it's a hand-and-a-half, they should be able to get 2 hands on comfortably and not have enough space to have a 3rd hand

bomberman 849 on Ilya’s instagram he posted pics of the sword after modifications. They didnt have enough time to to make everything completely spot on by the time the episode aired. On his insta Ilya shortened the handle and replaced the lapis stone with a real sapphire.

That's Rhünon-Élda to you!

@@bomberman8496 To be honest, in my experience sword fighting, its way worse to swing a sword 2 handed with your hands right next to each other. You would want a bigger gap so there would be room for a 3rd hand (unless you have a comfortable pommel). The handle is way too long in this design for 1 handed use so I get what you're saying, though it's also because the pommel is massive.

Dominic King It isn’t made to be a two handed sword though.

I loved that book series so much

Still waiting for the movie sequel, they VERY MUCH made it seem like they would make a sequel

Casper Sørensen they won’t make a sequel movie. The first would’ve been a decent movie had it not been called Eragon, but there was so much missing from the movie that was essential to Eldest that there’s no way they could make it. If anything I’d like to see a reboot of the movie.

Agreed!!!

well it didnt exist in the movie. the sword in the movie is not the same sword that was forged in the book since that happened in book 3. the sword in the movie was Zar-roc which is a red sword where as Brisingr is blue

Please don’t mention the movie

Is Not blue

@@soar011belize yeah the movie was a joke

Me too! No one talks abt it anymore, so I was so happy to find other people that like the books!

it’s a best seller tho, it was so popular they literally made a movie out of it

Just finished rereading the series saturday

Brendan O'Malley no they didn't. It doesn't exist. Let's never talk about that again, yes? lol.

knew*

Nice one :)))

@@ThinhNguyen-fi1ls Sad yet true, the Dragon Rider blades were made out to be the most beautifully looking functional blades ever. And we just get a normal looking longsword with a slight red hue in the film

I saw the film when I was like 14/15 Years old, after I read the books, well let's say "disappointing" would be a understatement.

soka: very cash money of you

@@ethrsag735 Now don’t get me wrong, those films sucked, but like, what was wrong with Zar’roc besides it having a sapphire rather than ruby hilt? It was pretty vibrantly red and stood out. What did you expect it to look like?

Die Well Benjamin Brunt

Hold my hammer*

Christopher Paolini must be proud

Yeah except the sword they made doesn't resemble the one in the book in the slightest, and they mispronounce the name of it the entire video.

Braxton Everheart eh, I’ll give it to em anyway. The did better than the movie did Zar’roc

Okay I am 100% down with the series but not this sword for Brisingr. No one could ever wield it with a shield which is what eragon does in the books with nearly every sword he has. This is a nice attempt but it's too large. If they shrank it down to about 2/3 the size and kept everything at the same ratio it would be about perfect.

@@eragon2262 I mean the guy is as strong as an elf. He could swing a sword twice as big.

@@kennylabrecque2256 You are right but he didnt. He was still the size of a normal human, about 5'4" which means that sword would be unwieldy no matter what his strength it is not quick to swing such a large sword. 'I still love what they made but its too big to be Brisngr from the books. I just finished listening to them for the 3rd time this month. The sword is the right proportions its just too large, if it was just slightly smaller it would be perfect

@@eragon2262 Yeah, I agree. Just finished the inheritance yesterday.

@@eragon2262 i always thought eragon was about 5'7" to 6' and still the sword he wanted was a hand and a half not a two handed which this one is

He’s secretly a elf who came to our world to spy on us and uses magic to disguise himself but he can’t hide his enormous strength and speed.

Thescott16 I loved to hear when they said they are going to make the sword from the books and not from that bad version of a piece called "movie"

Totally!

+Thescott16 From what other commenters are saying, they most certainly did *not* follow the book. Apparently, the pommel is oversized and the handle is too long. It's meant to be a 1 1/2-handed sword as described in the books, but the Man At Arms guys actually made it a 3-handed one. Sorry to disappoint you. At least Christopher Paolini liked it so much as to retweet it. There's that, at least.

I'm talking about the forging process. The rest are semantics.

+worksgr8 You do realize that the Man At Arms guys *specifically avoided images of the sword from the movie* and took details straight from the books, right? Besides, I haven't even read the books (I want to, though), so all I have to go off of is the movie (which I actually enjoyed, thank you very much!). Haven't seen it in a long while, but there you go.

BIOforge Studios like right it's literally forged by the greatest elf forger In the world

DUDE I WAS FREAKING OUT on my own here. Those guys rock

what he said ^

From meteorite no less

Yeah, read the chapter beforehand to see how much they kept.

sorry mate but brisingr sword wasnt in the movie lol

@@Stewer1000 There was a sword like brisingr in the movie. But it was incredibly disappointing

@@chrislowe447 that would be Zar'roc, the sword used by Morzan, first and last of the Foresworn and later her son, Murtagh.

@@davidspring4003 *his. Also doesn’t Brom use it because he doesn’t want his real sword giving away his identity? Idk haven’t read the series in a bit

@@youshouldntadidthat7691 you're right, not sure why I wrote hers. Brom lost his sword at some point during the Fall and stole Zar'roc from Morzan's corpse as a keepsake.

Lol

Just what I was about to comment as well 🤣

@JeremyK 541OR. Hahaha😂

Jason Jaton I love it

Jason Jaton They did but someone got ahold of the audio at the end to prevent us from learning magic

I wonder if you heard about strider the one ninja with a plasma cypher named falchion.

its still not right the blade isnt blue at all

Don't worry brother, you ain't alone

Same, and now, I have found my home

Brother, you are never alone

Nah dude, wassup

I'm a big fan off the books bute the movie isn't very good😬

The magic suicide nukes kinda killed my immersion tbh

I actually never read the last few pages cuz i didn't want the series to be over.....pathetic i know :/

the last few pages to bring amazing closure should re-read the series with the last few pages.

Michael Davis the movie, not movies. The first movie was so bad that they didn’t make a second one

It was such a good ending.

Same! That other sword was a machete, not a sword.

I mean zar'roc in the movie did look cool tbh tho

Zar'roc from the movie was the only part of the movie I liked

That's what I was already worrying about

YES!!! that was a huge relief for me

i am one of the 4 people who actully liked the movie, But I have to agree, they put more effort into that sword then the screen writers did with the movie. No, you know what? Eliot put more effort into just the blade, then all the writers did the entire movie!

@@mikeshogunlee Big Flop Comment.No one liked that.

Yep

The movie was as awful as the Last Airbender. They really took out a lot of important parts

exactly

Yet again book design not the movie design.

pen or sword?

@@geraldpfeffer Both combined of course.

Yea totally let's give the creepy quiet kid in school a awesome concealed weapon that goes from pen to sword and we'll be screwed

@@greenapple4224 sound fun not

Yal Rathol problem is the crappy movie already threw a big curve ball of bs at what za’roc was supposed to be id still love to see their Interpretations on it

jarid noah it also fucked up the canon of the story, such as the rose gem not being broken, but we generally ignore the movie. but hey, if they'd rather make galbatorix's stolen sword, that would work too.

Yal Rathol Vrangr would be bad ass I’d like to see the death dart too

jarid noah vrangr, that's the name, i kept thinking "nail" for some reason. the dart would be a good choice too, though visually it would be somewhat lacking without the blindingly green magic in it.

What about Tamerlane tho... the only sword that Eragon could not wield.

Lol, Rhunon would've beat them if they fucked up her sword

Exactly what I thought when I saw that!!! XD

brisingr was in the 3'd book "Brisingr" ;-;

To clarify, Morzan is the last of the forsworn, and Zar’roc is the name of his sword.

mhm, Zar'oc was supposed to have been in Morzan's hands as he was the eldest son of Morzan cause eragon was younger, but it turns out later that eragon was broms son

@@paris4634 you mean Murtagh hands

I mean ilya is practically an elf already

Technically speaking the sword is not designed to the same specifications that the book describes so the elf is still the only one.

God, I need to start imagining Rhunon as an elf and not an orc (or, I guess Urgal, since that's the closest thing to an orc in Alagäesia.)

Ilya is a level 100 skyrim blacksmith

@@beachbob728 *level 110 skyrim blacksmith. Yes Ilya broke the level cap.

Yeah, only that they were neither expensive nor rare. Not generally. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dy1fcRG0A3g.html

define "expensive". Even a plain (steel) sword would likely cost as much as a moderately sized house. Of course it also lasted just as long, a well-kept sword can last hundreds of years. They were passed down from father to son: and thus more frequently acquired names and legendary status than say axes or spears. Like a house, a sword was a form of permanent wealth, which could be used as collateral for a loan. So, a man who obtained a sword was a man who was moving up in the world. The average medieval man would not have been able to afford a sword: and likely would have used a bow, axe, polearm or other type of weapon. English longbowmen were peasants, the muscle required to draw the monster bows was acquired plowing and building. Genghis Khan did not equip his light horsemen with sabers, but with bows. Saxons get their name thanks to their small throwing-axes, and average Vikings didn't use a sword but rather an axe. Continental infantrymen used agricultural tools modified into terrifying polearms: the scythe, billhook, and halberd. Due to a sword's association with wealth, clergy often avoided it even if they could afford it. This is why we have the picture of fantasy clerics and paladins (who are based on the knights templar) wielding maces and warhammers rather than swords. It made the point that the wielder, despite his more genteel appearance, did not have a family or any temporal power. This became especially true as tensions between the nobility and the church grew in the 14th century. However: it's worth noting that the process Ilya used to make the steel for this blade, would not have been necessary in the majority of cases. There's another video which is a better representation of the medieval smelting process. Look up "Man at Arms: Reforged Ulfbehrt". This process of turning iron meteorites into steel was done, but well...let's just say there's a reason the ancient Romans and Greeks weren't making swords this big.

It is

​@@LilAZAno this is a full two hand sword

Wouldn't be too sure . It's kinda short . Don't feel like getting in a debate but yeh

@@LilAZA the handle has two separate full size sections for it to be held with two hands. That's why it's a two hand sword. The handle was made for two hands.

@@williamturcotte8588 the definition of an X-handed sword refers to the blade length, not the handle size. Even regular one-handed swords would have had enough room for two hands squeezed on. The length of this blade is just about a longsword so it is truly a one and a half handed sword. A two-handed sword would have at least another 15-20cm added to the blade length

Beez agreed, but you know what would be a bigger jaw dropper? Divine Axe Rhitta, the battleaxe graced by the sun. Imagine them pulling off the angel part of the axe

Cor sijtsma I love big and bold designs and Rhitta is very intricate, but Brisingr captivated me with it's beautiful efficiency. It's blade was beautifully crafted. Hopefully, they do Divine Axe Rhitta justice.

Beez indeed, the sword cut through everything like it was butter. Let's just hope Rhitta will shine ( like a sun ) in all her beauty.

Beez Good point. just hope they will forge her. I would totally buy it tbh, I am trying to forge her myself but these guys are on a whole other level. So we'll see

Oh my

Mushroom The Meals of Destruction so true

F

Wait... isn’t broom dead?

Rip Broom, ???-The first book, died from birdy

Mushroom The Meals of Destruction nah it was definitely bug people

the movie was garbage but without it id never have heard of or read the series. My mum bought me the movie cover of the eragon book, which neither of us had heard of. Over the next years as 3 and 4 came out i re read 1+2, and 1,2+3 again for each new release. So im thankful to the film for simply existing in some ways.

you read the books

It's not brisingr.. it's not blue and it's 2 handed ( should be a hand and a half)

and they should of forged it with someone elses hands who has no idea in making swords yet look where we are

I have read 3 books, not the fourth one. Too costly for the story it had

Xenos Tyrant touché.

They werent faithful to the books. The books describe a bastard sword, which is in essence a short longsword. What they had was a 2-handed sword, which contradicts the idea in the book that eragon would use the sword with a shield. The film (in this particular instance) is more accurate

it isn't that expensive, when Tony made first meteorite sword i think it costed him less than 2 000 $ for materials

I think it'd sell well to collectors to offset the expenses

G Andersson or split into multiple parts

Agreed. This blades deserve a full video

30 min episodes

The books are amazing

Igor Horvat Agreed

I think they need less recognition. The books are mediocre at best, horribly cliché, and the only reason they were published was because Christoffer's parents owned a publishing company. The only book that exceed mediocrity is the second one.

but thats just like..your opinion, Maaaan.

I mean I loved them as a kid but shortly after reading them I realised that it was essentially just the plot of Star Wars. Good fun though all the same.

yeah...the craftsmanship is amazing, but it all looks a bit disproportionate...

And the book said it has a black wood hilt (pg 679 in the brisingr)

you 3 people just cover all my problems with this sword thank you now I can just say "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!!!"

the blade is also supposed to be an iridescent blue, but it is still amazing

Yeah but the iridescend blue is... well... hard to obtain...

Ilya is insane lol off topic, have you ever seen the sword from prince of persia (2008) a bit impractical, but still nice to look at

he was cursed by knowledge

Did you know that new books appeared?

@@JurnyJudasz whaaat????

Jirka Hudec what about the other books?

I love these books to bits. I don't know about other languages, but I've read the series 6 times now. Best book series there is in my opinion.

I have read it a few times, but I have listened to the audio books more times then I can count.

Joseph Calabrese its been a long time since I read the books too. After watching this, I want to read them again.

vsGoliath there is no such thing as 1 and a half sword. There are only one handed swords or short swords and longswords. Then you jump to zweihanders

Mate.... Bastard swords are very well established things. That's all a "Hand and a half" sword actually is, that name simply being more PC. It's the blade of an arming sword with the handle of a longsword. Do your bloody research before you go calling someone wrong. (and yes, I HAVE done mine. Look up "Bastard sword". Not to mention I used to collect them.)

Kenar E. First of all, a Zweihander is a very specific type of two handed greatsword specific to Germany. There are many, many different types of full two handed greatswords. Secondly, hand and a half swords, also known as bastard swords, are quite common in European sword design and very popular in pop culture, mostly thanks to Game of Thrones and Jon Snow's bastard sword. They're quite real and Brisingr is classified as one. They're also very useful as they can easily be weilded in one hand along with a shield, but the grip is lengthened just enough to get a solid hold in two hands for stronger attacks. Very versatile. edited because I wasted my education and watched Man at Arm's videos

I mean he was an "elf" and they were a little taller and bigger than a human so that might be closer to a hand and a half to him than it is to us.

Caleb Klemm andre the giant could have gotten two hands on that rowing oar of a handle.

SuperLumipallo 5:31 look at his Kagura shirt

wow cool!!! O_O didn't notice that at all! Thank you ^_^

Emily Hamilton, f that movie lol

I agree that the did a great job, only nitpicking I'm gonna place here is that they didn't make it hand and a half, and the blade length is longer then it should be.

the gem is quite a lot larger too

It’s hard to say who put more research into the production of this sword, these guys or the author of the book.

Virginia Hoffman agreed

Anzu Wyliei Not sure how not. Mr. Paolini doesnt do this for a living these guys do. Paolini had to research what these guys learned from trial and error.

Mudedmmuh she wasn't a weeaboo though

not illyasviel von einzberg, the blonde guy in video who was with the wetstones is named illya

Alexander Vazquez oh my bad

Garrett Johnstone Mor' rana li'fa unin hjarta onr

Un du Evarínya ono varda.

Same

Yay.

Imagine the damage throwing that baby could cause.

Luke Miskovic I doubt the pommel would cause very much damage, however the stunning power is what makes it stand out from all other weaponry.

The Pope it is a joke because in an old manual there is a technique where you unscrew your pommel and then you throw it to your enemy, ending him rightly.It became a meme in the channel Skallagrim.

Luka Miskovic Finally, a pommel actually capable of ending someone rightly.

I was thinking the same thing. The hilt they made was much too big

A hand and a half sword is a mix of a two handed sword and a one handed swords it was made to be able to use with two hands if the need arises since his fighting style was a mix of one handed and two handed. He requested that the hilt was to be made longer due to not having enough room on his previous sword.

@@Reaper22391 thats how i remember reading it lol

Eragon preferred a sword and shield fighting style but wanted the hand and half because oftimes he found himself unable to use a shield, and wanted the option to go two handed for the extra power.

I realize that was the nature of it, however the hilt they show is clearly two handed. In the story, Eragon said that a two handed sword was too long, to which Rhunon suggests a "hand and a half", which I assume to be just long enough that you could get two hands on it, but still short enough that one hand would be sufficient to swing it. To which Eragon said that that was perfect. Then they did the whole sequence of defying everything Rhunon stands for when making Brisingr.

Gonna have to agree with you there... NEVER clicked on ANY video SO DAMN FAST in my ENTIRE LIFE!!! I sees Saphira's beautiful face, I clicks on it.

I agree as the film got ruined and they couldnt produce the sequals

the movie only had zar roc anyway

Springo Glimbus I was just about to say the same thing. Brisingr was only ever know as the spell "fire" in the first book.

Springo Glimbus the movie just picked the big fights and said here is your Aragon movie and the fight with the dwarfs and the people were in the second book near the beginning. And in the movie they left out a ton of the story like when Aragon was captured out side of a city by the razzac (not sure I spelled tat right) And then murtaugh (not sure if I spelled this right either) saved him and after that aragons father brom (I think that is the right name don't be angry I have not read the books in a while) died because he was stabbed by the razzac.

Plus he won forged in fire.

My friend and I play a game every time we watch Man At Arms where we point out how many times someone else talks about what Ilya has done

Kriston S yes

Fan boy

Oh yes, I'm very much a fan.
