Average reach.Īlternates: Bastard Sword, Gargoyle’s Tail Axe, Gargoyle’s Halberd, Claymore Damage does not scale with any stats and the sword is severely underpowered by mid-game. – Requires rare material and expensive upgrade. Fire and defense increase when the sword is equipped. The one-handed strong attack covers a lot ground quickly. Good for the Taurus Demon, Capra Demon and Queelag boss fights. + Can be accessed in early game by damaging the tail of the Hellkite Dragon tail on the bridge. This attack can be exploited to push Knight Lautrec of Karim to his death when he appears in Firelink Shrine, after the Bell Gargoyles boss fight. It has the same move set as the Bastard Sword but with a two-handed, weapon-depleting, energy wave attack. An excellent choice for battling Queelag, since she is resistant to both fire and magic. Not a good PvP choice.Īlternates: Zweihander, Greatsword of Artorias (normal), Great Lord Greatsword, Man-Serpent SwordĮnemies in early game are no match for this sword. Requires rare material and expensive upgrade. Excellent for NG+ warrior magic builds that have balanced faith and intelligence, and some strength and dexterity.

+ One of 3 different soul weapons that can be made with the Soul of Sif (this should be first choice when using the soul). If you prefer an enchantable weapon, try the Zweihander, which is available from the beginning of the game. This is an excellent NG+ weapon for high level, balanced characters. On most enemies, the cursed version will do significantly higher damage than the normal version, in spite of its lower potential damage rating. The normal version of the weapon does physical and magic damage. This version is superior to the Greatsword of Artorias because it damages ghosts, and causes physical damage only. The cursed version of this soul weapon can do some massive damage thanks to its stat scaling on 4 different attributes. I don’t get the Drake Sword in the video but you can, by chopping at the Hellkite Dragon tail with a strong weapon buffed with pine resin.įeel free to shout out with your own list of favorites. The Tech Phantom loves sword play much more than ranged attacks (and even more than referring to himself in the third person).Ĭheck out my post and video showing you these weapons in action in NG+++.Ĭheck out my video showing you the location of 4 of these great weapons very early in the game. Before you lavish “hate” on my post, take a deep breath and remember that this is based on my own play style preference. So, here is my list for the best weapons in this dark, moody and challenging game. You have asked for more weapon information for Dark Souls.
