The best weapons in Dark Souls: Remastered are from the utigatana to the two-handed sword. What are soul weapons in Dark Souls

It is difficult to say unequivocally which weapon is the best in Dark Souls - there is no single rating system. However, there are definitely weapons that stand out from the rest. In particular, you will probably want to pay attention to the two-handed sword, the utigatana and the balder sword.

Some of them can be obtained quite early in the game and can serve you well until the very end. You can also get bosses' weapons by giving the blacksmith the appropriate items. In this article, we will tell you about the best, in our opinion, weapons in Dark Souls: Remastered - a two-handed sword, a balder sword, and an utigatana.

Try to find exactly them - we will give you recommendations on where to look, as well as tell you what characteristics the weapon has. However, do not look too much at the characteristics - weapons with very high requirements for the character are sometimes less impressive than the one with which you started the game (provided it is pumped).

In addition, the strength of the weapon depends on the character's leveling - choose the one that corresponds to the class you have taken. A suitable weapon should receive an additional increase in damage from the pumped characteristics (for example, strength and agility).

How to find the two-handed sword in Dark Souls: Remastered

Location on the map: Next to the grave in front of the Catacombs in the Fire Temple.

: Strength - 24, Dexterity - 10.

The two-handed sword can be obtained from the Fire Temple on the first visit and is a very powerful weapon (especially for the start of the game).

His swing is slow, and it may seem to you that you can't really turn around with this two-hander. However, he has one indisputable advantage - damage. There is also a chance after a blow to cause a stupor in the enemy. During the fight with some bosses, you can even interrupt their attacks with two-handed. For this weapon, we recommend a character with a large bar of stamina - without a shield, you will have to dodge a lot, and this devastates the stamina.

How to find the balder sword in Dark Souls: Remastered

Location on the map: In the County, the undead falls from the Balder Knights.

Required character characteristics: Strength - 10, Dexterity - 14.

The Balder Sword is ideal for characters that specialize in agility. The chance of having a sword on the corpse of an enemy, alas, is small, but its advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The sword is worth the time spent farming it.

The sword hits quickly and you can combine the weapon strikes with other actions. It also hits enemies at a distance, and comes in handy against archers. Also, if you fully upgrade this weapon, you will receive a significant increase in damage depending on your Stamina stat (the higher it is, the greater the additional damage).

How to find Uchigatana in Dark Souls: Remastered

Location on the map: City of Undead, on the body of an undead merchant.

Required character characteristics: Strength - 14, Dexterity - 14.

Uchigatana is one of the fastest weapons in the game, with a variety of attacks. She can deal damage at a distance, and also cause the effect of bleeding on enemies (constant damage for a short time). Wide coverage, attack from a distance - Uchigatana will become a real thunderstorm for opponents, when used correctly.

Uchigatana is a great choice for quality characters if you want to use pure agility. The only drawback of the Utigatana is its relative fragility. It needs to be repaired more often than any other weapon.

Soul Weapons in Dark Souls: Remastered

Fought the boss and liked his weapon? You have the opportunity to do the same for yourself! You need a boss soul to craft, so don't sell them. In the table below, we have provided a complete list of boss weapons, as well as what is needed to create them.

We must say right away that forging bosses' weapons is not easy - first you need to improve the simple weapons needed for forging to +10, and then pump them with the help of the boss's soul from the blacksmith (for a round amount, of course).

Quite a difficult game for beginners to master. Therefore, people who have not played it before are wondering where to find a good weapon at the beginning of the game. Here are some options.

First sword and shield. We need a master key taken during character creation as an initial gift. From the Fire Temple, head to the Ruins of New Londo. With the help of a lock pick, open the door to the Valley of the Dragons. Near the sleeping dragon we quickly grab the sword and shield. it Astora's Straight Sword and Dragon Crest Shield... First, we grab the sword, because after we take the shield (the shield lies closer to the muzzle), the dragon will wake up. We die, but with cool weapons. This sword is great for traversing the Catacombs, as it breaks the connection between skeletons and necromancers, they do not respawn. With a careful passage and collecting 6 pieces of shimmering titanite already in Undead County, the sword can be pumped to +4.

Uchigatana (Uchigatana). Can be bought from Shiva from the East for 5000 souls after he leaves for the Plague City or knocked out from the Undead merchant in the Undead City (buy a bow and other necessary items from him before killing). To find him we go from the first fire in the City of Undead to the right and go down to the next area, then to the left, there will be two Hollow soldiers with spears. There will be a staircase behind the barrels, and a merchant will sit on the balcony. But killing him is considered a sin, so after him you will be visited by the Blades of the Dark Moon.

Claymore. We pick it up on the corpse, which is located on the bridge between the City of Undead and the County of Undead. The sword is guarded by the Red Wyvern. The sword can be quickly picked up and killed.

Dragon Sword (Drake Sword). The sword can be obtained in the County of Undead from the same Red Wyvern. To do this, you need to shoot or chop off her tail. To defeat the wyvern quickly and easily, we need a Shortbow and about 80 arrows. If there is no dexterity on the bow and you do not plan to swing it, then we are looking for a crossbow, but it will be difficult to aim here. We go into the room under the bridge. At the lower level, we find a protruding tail. We shoot at the tail until it falls off, then the sword will be in the inventory.

Two-handed sword (Zweihander). The sword can be found in the Fire Temple graveyard. We deal with the skeletons and take the sword, you can find binoculars nearby.

Gravelord Sword. The sword is received by the one who swears allegiance to Lord Nito. The character must have the Eye of Death with him. You need to find an ajar coffin in the Catacombs, which is located to the left of the Titanite Demon (can be killed with a bow). We lie down in the coffin and wait for the skeleton to transfer the coffin to the Crypt of the Giants.

Short Bow. Bows are needed by all characters, they make it easy to deal with some enemies. This is the easiest bow that can be obtained by choosing the Hunter character class or by purchasing from the Undead Merchant (from which Utigatan falls) for 1000 souls in the City of Undead. It can also be knocked out of Hollow with a bow.

Long bow. It is picked up from a corpse in the Lake of Darkroots, along with the Hunter's Set and arrows.

Black Bow of Pharis. Knocked out by an archer in the Garden of Darkroots who belongs to the Forest Hunter covenant.

Grass Crest Shield. We take in the location of the Lake of Darkroots, if you go there from the blacksmith in Undead County. At the beginning there will be a right turn upward. From there we go down. On the way down we find a shield. Near him will be a Black Knight with a halberd. Shield increases stamina recovery.

Shield with the emblem (Crest Shield). When we get to the Northern Sanctuary of the Undead for the second time, Oscar from Astora will become hollow, and we will have to defeat him. We select this shield from his corpse. This shield has 100% physical resistance and 80% magic resistance.

It is impossible to improve "not with titanite". But everything has its own kind of titanite. Common items are improved - with ordinary titanite (first in small pieces, then large), some rare / unique ones - with shimmering titanite, weapons from the souls of bosses - demonic. Enchanted weapons are upgraded with green titanite. Powerful versions of the enchanted are enhanced with the corresponding color (blue for enchantment (magic), red for chaos (fire), white for the occult (holiness)).

To use all these charms, you need to find coals and give them to the blacksmiths.

In addition to ordinary coal, the rest are needed not just to increase the improvement limit, but to open up new possibilities for enchanting weapons.
By default, 4 blacksmiths in the world of Dark Souls can accordingly transform ordinary weapons into any holy, fire, magic, electric, etc. But to obtain occult, chaotic and enchanted weapons, you need to take the corresponding coals to the appropriate blacksmiths.

There is a very well-built visual and convenient table: http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Upgrades#x%E2%80%8D%E2%80%8DWeapons%20Upgrade%20Chart:%E2%80%8D%E2%80% 8D
In short: There are 3 types of enchantment for weapons +5: fire, magic, holiness. For each of them there are their "advanced" versions: chaos, enchantment, occult. Ordinary +10 weapons can be additionally changed to crystal or electric ("lightning"). There is also a "rough" one, made from the same normal +5, more damage, but less bonus modifier for stats.
That is, there are a total of 6 options (+3 advanced) for customizing weapon properties. The rest depend directly on weapons: dragon, unique and from the souls of bosses.

Do you think that you will miss somewhere such a valuable ember? See embers table - http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Upgrades#Embers

Additionally:
To improve the usual from +5 to +6, you need to select the item "Change equipment" and the corresponding tab (appears after delivering coal to the blacksmith). Upgrade +5 -\u003e +6 is not available directly through "Upgrade Weapon / Armor".
The same goes for the rest of the possibilities given by the coals. If an improvement is not available in "Improve weapons", although coal has already been brought, then the weapon simply needs to be changed to a more advanced version first, and then improved.

Only weapons enchanted with +5 can be upgraded to "crude". If you improve it higher, then the option to change to rough will not be available. Probably, the same rule works for improving fiery to chaotic, etc.
Enchanted weapons can be changed back to regular + 5 / + 10 (depending on what was required first). That is, in fact, the enchantment can be changed. But all upgrades to the old enchanted weapon will not be refunded (i.e., what is +0, what is +10 - changes to the usual +10).
