  When you work yourself to death to get a boss weapon and it does half the damage of your zweihander

  I literally search for this exact video 2 hours ago and was disappointed when I didn&apos;t see you had one. Thank you.

  Queelag&apos;s fury sword got done a little dirty. Artorias&apos; awkward requirements are a massive downside for most players.

  I don&apos;t agree with the method to decide which weapon is the best.<br>Giving yourself the required stats heavily shifts the balance of which weapon is better than the others, not only because the higher the requirement, the higher the scaling bonus will be, but it also removed the main thing making some of these weapons bad to begin with: their stupid stat requirements. Great Sword of Artorias and Smough Hammer are prime exemples: they require about 40 levels of investment (and in a disgusting split in the case of Artorias GS) while weapons like Quelaag&apos;s Furysword gets absolutly 0 levels from you for its scaling despite having a B in DEX.<br><br>Each weapon should get a 50 levels of investment in the stats so it is more fair. The only other option is to go 60 in every stat woth all of them so you are at the hard cap in every offensive stat.

  Dark Souls 1 has so many features that isn&apos;t really used in the newer games. that risk vs reward with the chaos weapons and Priscilla scythe are pretty cool.

  I’m going to be honest, outside of the DLC bosses, it’s probably Quelaag’s Furysword. The GLGS, AGS, and CGSA have exceedingly high physical damage on single hits, the Chaos blade is a boss deleter, the scythe demolishes absolutely everything of you’re willing to rig your build for bleed resistance, but the consistent dps, reach, and not harming yourself in any way of the furysword is great

  Dude forgot the Blood Shield. Combined with the Bloodbite you practically have to TRY to bleed yourself with Lifehunt Scythe. And yes the shield works if your two handing the scythe and the shield is on your back.

  I&apos;m of the opinion that none of the Artorias swords are really worth the bother. I&apos;d rank them fairly low on the list.<br><br>Something you didn&apos;t mention aside from its basic requirements is that you need to have an obscenely high soul level to actually exceed the normal AR you&apos;d get from an ordinary weapon. At that point, you&apos;d be one shotting everything anyway. Below that level, they don&apos;t do much damage. And aside from that, the unique R2 is often more of a detriment.<br><br>I consider the top weapons to probably be Quelaag&apos;s and the Golem Axe, both of which are not slow, have good movesets, low requirements and good attack ratings across most builds within reasonable soul level ranges. The Artorias swords are mostly famous for their total inaccessibility; they&apos;re more victory lap weapons for people on NG+.

  The Lifehunt Scythe is probably one of my favorite Weapons in the game. I love having a strong weapon with a caveat and the Blood Shield helps out a lot in that regard. Anything that helps me against my grass crest shield addiction
