- Hiya folks,
Been wanting to make a video on boss weapons for a while and finally, here it is. It's some PVP-based strength ranking though, but a showcase of what i consider to be the sickest damn weapons from every Soulsborne game. I sure hope ya like it!
0:00 - Intro
2:18 - Demon's Souls
8:27 - Dark Souls
15:11 - Dark Souls 2
21:32 - Dark Souls 3
27:34 - Bloodborne
34:33 - Elden Ring
40:17 - Closing Words - Ігри
Corrections:
-You CAN actually get the Crypt Blacksword on your first playthrough by using a bonfire Ascetic to fight the NG+ version of The Rotten.
-Also, I got the weapon requirements the wrong way round when I was describing the Greatswords of Artorias.
Bonfire Ascetics are one of the few mechanics I wish DID carry over from Dark Souls II. That and actually changing content from NG to NG+ (and not just when they have adds in the boss fights, those are lame).
I’m sorry to hear the boss weapons are sick I hope they get well soon. 😞
Hey! So the word "sick" in this context is actually a colloquial term for "cool"! Hope this helps. 😊😊

Dragon king cragblade is the tip of placidusax’s tail that he is missing
That’s what bumps it up for me, it’s sorta a homage to previous souls games where cutting off a dragon’s tails rewards a weapon
why DID they remove that feature? Its so cool and satisfying! I always immediately run to Darkbeast Paarl for his daily chiropractition! 😃
Yeah they should have kept this feature but it seems From Soft thought it would be disrespectful to the dragons. 😁😁
@apolloisnotashirt sometimes it was a pain in the ass to get the tail off. Plus it was easy to miss. If you kill the boss then it's too late. Plus not all vosses have tails. It was a great feature though.
@@IIWaZII not if you know their tail can be cut off, idc how hard it is I'm getting that tail!
38:50 "great eepy" 😭
they call me the great eepy sometimes
I'd say Bloodborne has 4 Boss Weapons; cause there's the Holy Moonlight Sword, Burial Blade, and the Rakuyo, but you also missed the Amygdala Arm
My list:
DeS: Meat Cleaver
DS1: Gravelord Sword
DS2: Sir Alonne's Bewitched Sword
DS3: Vordts Great hammer
BB-Moonlight GS
Elden Ring- Malikeths Black Blade
Sekiro prosthetic is lazuli’s flame vent
No arguments about Gael. He's easily the best boss in Fromsoftware's games, but he's also in contention for one the greatest bosses of all time.
Gael fanboys on the moment they stumble Pinwheel enjoyers: 😨
Gael is the best boss ever! We are blessed to be able to complete Uncle's mission after his death
Idk I never really thought he was incredible. I’d say he is a top 20 boss of all time but definitely not in my top 10
@@berryamv2296 finally someone else who doesn't meatride gael all the time. sure, he's a good boss, but SoC, lady maria, Ludwig, placidusax, fortissax, hell, I even like storm king more. I appreciate more spectacular boss fights, Gael doesn't feel like much but some old guy with a sword. I really don't know why it doesn't hit like the others
@@JoseViktor4099pinwheel is nothing to mist noble
Something I think DS2 did exceptionally well is weapon design
Alongside like Velstadt’s Hammer, I think Gyrm Great Hammer is an absolute highlight for me.
Literally a massive anvil chained to a great mace.
Not a boss hammer but yeah
The most creative game of the trilogy.
@@Skobeloff...I’ve been saying this for years and people call me crazy, the weapons and the magic specifically are even more varied than Elden rings sometime
Playing as a Sunbro while dual wielding the Crypt Ultra Greatsword and the Fume Knight's Ultra Greatsword never got old. Getting summoned in and raising them above your head is ❤❤❤❤
Best boss item in DS1 is greatshield of artorias, it costs less stamina to block with it than to dodge roll lol. Too bad people haven't noticed it enough.
Hey by the way, Morgott's Cursed Sword has another blood slash in the ash of war if you press the left trigger/ash of war button again
As always Candle stuffs us full...
of quality content.
Love your videos, they are so fun and cozy. Video suggestion! Ranking every soulsborne armor set!
Got a video in works ranking Soulsborne Armour Sets, but it won't be ranking all of them cos there are around 450 haha
Something of note: due to several quirks of the DS2 weapon infusion system, the best infusion for any weapon with intrinsic scaling Dark damage is actually Bleed, as that massively increases how well the Int/Fth scaling affects the elemental damage.
Ima go try that
source???
@@RelaxingNostalgia Many, many hours spent playing DS2 on the 360. Also the best pyromancy catalyst is a Pyromancy Flame infused with Poison for those very same reasons I mentioned above.
Your descriptions for the weapons are great lol verbose and insightful
Man, I am right there with you on your pick for Bloodborne; I’ve been a Moonlight user ever since first finding the hidden one in Armored Core 2. Its my favorite out of all of Fromsoft’s trope weapons (although I will say that BBorne’s iteration is a particularly awesome one). I’m actually really psyched; I just found it in AC6, and I can’t wait to figure out how to throw together a few different builds around it when I record the next episode :D
When it comes to ER, my preferred version of the Moonlight is the Moonveil katana. I realize that there’s also the actual Moonlight Greatsword, but I prefer the look and move set of the katana over the greatsword. The only issue I have with it is finding the damn somber smithing stones to upgrade it, but maybe they’re more abundant later in the game than I’ve managed to get (I’ve only gotten as far as completing Liurnia).
Another thoroughly excellent video, as always - can’t wait to see what you decide to cover next. Your writing and editing are continuing to improve with every new video, and each one is just as entertaining and enjoyable - if not more so - as the last. As I always say: keep ‘em coming, and I’ll keep watching!
All the best,
-NB
Love your content Candle, keep up the good work!
the thing about the dragonslayer greataxe is that the players version has a shorter handle, whilst the boss version has a proper halbertlike handle. always thought that it was weir how the handle changes size.
the man keeps on delivering thank you mr candle type 1a
Sweeeet, chilling on a bank holiday with a new CT1A upload whilst i'm exploring in Dragons Dogma II?! Aye, tis a good day indeed!
I can’t believe it candle, after all this time watching and your picks didn’t match up with mine. No Northern Regalia, Penetrating sword 🤤, Gravelord sword, Ivory king greatsword, Twin Princes greatsword, ugh your breaking my heart man. As always, love and enjoy the content lol. I think a sickest spears video would be pretty cool, as a I feel they’re not talked about too much.
Really enjoying your lists and your overall video scripts! Keep grinding, 100k subs will be yours in no time
Thank you buddy!
I love Smelter Demon ultra greatswords and set so much and I still to this day waiting for a next demonic pure strenght that looks hella badass in a next souls game. ❤
been killin it champ
That fear and hunger music at ds2’s intro bit caught me by surprise, good song
These videos help a lot with my long walks to and from work so thank you. How about a list of the best boss backstories or lore?
Good idea!
35:27 are we not gonna address the fact that that's the final duel wield attack from the Ringed Knights Greatswords just slapped on Radahn's Greatswords. Well played
I've expected Mogh's weapon for Elden Ring. But Morgott's was actually part of my main build
A video on your favorite music from the series would be really cool!
Morgotts cursed sword and dragon kings cragblade are fantastic in pvp as well
Great video. Tons of excellent picks. The Rakuyo is absolutely worth the complete bullshit you have to go through in order to get it. I go for more dexterity weapons over big damage weapons personally (except for DSII), but these are all excellent choices.
Morgott's sword's ash of war has a follow up attack too btw, just saying cause I didn't see you using it and it looks sick.
This is a tough one. 2 of my favorites are definitly the Farron Greatsword in DS3 and the Burial blade in BB.
For the other games i'd have to think about it.
Correction at 10:14:
The version of the Greatsword made with the Broken Straight Sword or Straight Sword Hilt is actually the non-cursed one. At least according to the Fextralife wiki.
Cheers m8, I updated my pinned comment with that correction.
The DS3 Axe design just looks so damn clean. We have it in Elden Ring too, the Executioner's Greataxe, and it has THE highest critical AR if done correctly.
I remember running some duels with the dragon slayer executioner axe in ds3's dragon temple.
That weapon art was the precursor to the ER vigor check i swear to god.
there is a mod for Dark souls 1 that allows you to respec your level, pretty useful, unless you see it as cheat, I think it is a great way to experiment with new weapons on the same playthrough
Nice fear and hunger plug there with the morion blade lol
this video made me bricked up, good job candle man!
Absolutely criminal that Friede's Scythe didn't even get the honorable mention for DS3! One of the most standout boss weapons in that game imo
Tbh, it kinda sucks damage wise
@@schnozgaming989 don't care about the damage, still the coolest boss weapon in the game imo lol
I love Spitfire Spear in Dark Souls 2. The fire effect in DS2 is so satisfying to watch.
Is gael or isshin better? Literally depends on which one I've fought most recently
Isshin
Ivory kings sword is the best weapon in the whole series
I'm playing DeS Remake through again and seeing this video I farmed the Morion blade... which I can't wield because my spellsword build has literally neglected everything other than magic, hahaha
My personal favourite boss weapon is the Frayed Blade. Looks unbelievably badass, hits *hard* and has all the structural integrity of a porcelain vase. I love the fact you have to beat an absolute bastard of a fight to get it too.
funger in the middle was fun to see
16:30 you are actually wrong here. You can get this weapon on your first playthrough. Just simply burn a bonfire aesthetic and kill rotten again.
I love DS2 man
I love you CANDLE Type 1a
For DS2, surprise you didn't choose the Smelter Sword but tiss nice to hear about the two you chose.
Also, using a bonfire acetic let's you get the soul on regular NG.
When getting the knight’s honor trophy in ds1 i accidentally forged the same artorias sword twice since it had no distinction in the menu and had to go into ng+++
I am sure you know it already and just didnt show it in the video, but you can do a second attack with Morgotts curved swords aow to do another flaming spin and extend the combo. Sick ass weapon and also my choice for Elden Ring :D
For darksouls 2 Id also include the bow of want. the lightning spear arrow is just cool.
and in elden ring, I feel like the ruins greatsword is often overlooked
I never used ivorys straight sword but from what i seen it looks awesome each attack looks like a weapon from star wars
I love friedes scythes, such a cool and unique weapon with interesting scaling (the ice attack scales with faith I think while the smaller scythe scales with int and the big one with dex I think). But my favorite souls weapon of all time had to be Ludwigs moonlight greatsword. It just looks SO good, perfect beautiful color and design, I wish they kept the traditional coloring in elden ring instead of making it dark blue and infused with ice magic.
didnt friede weapon scale with intellignece and dex and not faith? also yeah ludwigs weapons is the ebst in all from games imo
@@ashenone3050 It scales with all 3, as I said only the ice wave special attack scales with faith (I'm pretty sure thats why I used her scythes even though my build was dex faith only)
Honestly I rlly want to see a list of weapons which r underrated- they may not be the flashiest things but they bring something fun to the table - a random example could be the Guardian Swordspear from Elden Ring which mixes up the animation, or perhaps the Aquamarine Dagger from ds3 which is 👌
My favourites are
DS: the Impaler's sword
DS1: Quelaag's Furysword
DS2: the dragon rider twin spear
DS3: dragon slayer axe
Bb: rakoyu
ER: hand of malenia
The Lava Bow in Demon Souls takes the cake for me! Can't have a souls run without a good bow, or in this case a great OP af one!
Love your videos and accent
Technically, Tonitrus is also a boss weapon, as the shadows of Yharnam use it. So there’s Rakuyo (Maria), Burial Blade (Gehrman), Tonitrus (Shadows), Hunters Axe (Gascoigne), Holy Moonlight Sword (Ludwig), Amygdalan Arm (Amygdala), Beast Claw (If you count it, then beast enemies), and the Kos Parasite (OoK).
Morion is also a rare form of Amethyst, noteworthy as particularly dark purple, in some cases said to be 'nearly black'.
Ah, I did not know that, cheers!
This list could have been all the different Moonlight Greatswords and I wouldn’t complain
My favorite from two is the crypt blacksword
Wait, the Dozer Axe's design.... I'm pretty sure the artist behind the "Seven Deadly Sins" manga lifted that for Escanor's great axe Rhitta, especially since it came out 3 years after Demon's Souls did.
an ex-friend of mine literally lives opposite that church in edinburgh it's so cool
The dozer axe looks like a demonic version of escanors axe from seven deadly sins
To be fair Ds1 has less Boss Soul weapons because some bosses drop their weapons directly. Asylum and Taurus both drop their weapon directly, Gaping Dragon and Gargoyles have tail cuts. This means you can start getting boss weapons right away unlike the soul based ones where you have to reach a specific point in the game first.
My take on Elden ring Godfrey axe and the black blade are the ones I consider tho coolest cuz of the lore
For dark souls one, you can get the asylum demons club and the gargoyls tail axe
Three weapons in and I'm noticing a pattern with these honorable mentions... they're all hammer type weapons so far =P Also, you forgot to mention that in Dark Souls II, the NPC you need to actually get the boss weapons can be easily missed by new players.
"whats happening to me.... i, i cant stop watching! GOD PLEASE HELP ME I CANT STOP WATCHING!!!!"
I love how every entry is just that game's black greatsword lol
Crypt black sword can get gotten on ng with one of them bonfire ascetics
My list
Demon's Souls: Hands of God or Dragon Bone Smasher
DS1: Gold Tracer or just a good old greataxe or zweihander
DS2: Dual smelter swords
DS3: Frayed blade or RKSS
BB: Pizza cutter
Elden: Haven't played around with a whole lot, but I think Starscourge and Cragblade look the sickest which is appropriate for coming from the 2 sickest bosses in the game and 2 of the sickest in the series
Bonus round
Sekiro prosthetics: Axe for its chunky attacks and fearsome burst damage. Shuriken gets an honourable mention because of the aggressive pressure it can apply@
The video about boss weapons, mate
@@schnozgaming989 Fuck, right. I'll go Ornstein for DS1 and agree on moonlight for BB, then. Sickest version of the sickest sword!
You've done bosses, you've done levels. Now its time for soulsborne all weapons ranked
19:14 he do be like me fr
13:07 best weapon ever
I respect the gs but requirements really high
You can actually get those 4 weapons from ds2 on your first playthrough with bonfire ascetics
demon souls morion blade reminds me of isu architecture from assassins' creed
My favorite boss weapons from each game:
Demon Souls: Morion Blade
DS1: Dragonslayer Spear, Quelaag's Furysword
DS2: Crypt Blacksword
DS3: Dancer's Enchanted Swords
Bloodborne: Rakuyo
Elden Ring: Dragon King Cragblade
6:27 that thing is Escanor's weapon lmao
16:35 you can actually get it on your first playthrough, but yeah
Yup, bonfire ascetic
It looks like the dragonslayer great axe is made from Ornstiens spear
The Beast Claws are from a Darkbeast, so they'd count as a boss weapon.
The Player character wearing Morgotts Cloak and barely anything else looks so bloody funny
Lmao, yeah, looked better on Morgott than on my character tbh
Gotta say i do believe you got those Great Sword Of Artoris backwords non cursed is broken straight sword and cursed is just really any real sword
My favorite boss fromsoft ever did was Maria from Bloodborne.
It's pretty widely accepted that the greatsword is a tribute to one or two of Guts' swords. But the crypt blacksword has way too many differences to be an homage. Don't get me wrong, it's a badass sword, but the bright crossguard and pommel, the cool Celtic knots in the fuller, the thing outlining the fuller, the raised line going down the middle of the fuller, the fact that the fuller is so recessed, and the gold piece near the tip make me think it's just a cool sword. Not Guts' sword.
Friede’s scythe snubbed in ds3, special and graceful looking moveset? Check. Amazingly cool weapon art that costs 0 FP on the attack combo? Check. Frost damage? Check. Edgewalking potential? Super check. Great range and damage? Check. Sweet spot mechanic with scutches? Check
My personal favorite in Elden Ring is Maliketh’s Black Blade. The tale of Maliketh is a tragic one, and I despised his betrayal. He deserved better.
Got my username from the Holy Moonlight Sword!
Morgott's sword over malikeths black blade?! Damn
If they don't float down, i don't want them.
The sacred Shaime hammer lol
The sickest looking sword for me is probably the blue smelter sword from ds2
I feel like this guy likes great-swords only lol
boss weapons! 🐦
You could´ve duped souls for the abyss gs in ds1, would have saved you alot of time. I did it when I went for ds1 plat, I just duped the souls in ng+3, cause I just didn´t want to spend anymore time farming.
Mogh's spear is strongest weapon in the game, boss weapon or not.
