Top 10 Endgame Weapons in Dark Souls 2

So, you’ve finally done Top 10 Endgame Weapons in Dark Souls 2. You have killed every monster, traversed every land, and explored every nook and cranny that the world of Drangleic has to offer.

In other words, you’ve won the game but the itch is still there. He wants to do it all over again, but this time correctly, as things will get more and more difficult.

Let’s help sort out your final arsenal and assemble it with the deadliest tools for the job!

Note: Top 10 Endgame Weapons in Dark Souls 2 most of the weapons in this game are repairable. It’s just that some of them have bigger numbers than the rest.

If you want a quicker (and arguably better ) list of the best endgame weapons, you can open the Great Hammers or Ultra Great Swords wiki page, throw a dart at your screen, and proceed to use whatever you landed on.

Congratulations. You are now the proud owner of one of the most powerful weapons in the game.

Since it would be very boring to read a list consisting of 10 variations of the same weapons, just discussing minor numerical differences between them, I went ahead and added some variety here, showing a few weapons from most categories (you know, something! for all!)

10. Bident Gargoyle

With the above “little note” out of the way, we started with what I consider to be the best spear in the game.

The Gargoyle Bident is a force scaling spear with excellent range (as spears have) and damage,

Just be a little careful and precise with your attacks, to do as much damage as possible.

How to get it: Exchange the soul of the gargoyle in the bell tower for Straid of Olaphis.

9. Hunter’s Black Bow

Who said this was necessarily a list only about melee weapons?

The Hunter’s Blackbow is literally the best normal bow available, sporting pure As in every notable category.

Its great damage, range, and rate of fire make it an excellent tool for many occasions.

Poisonous and lacerating arrows can be used with the bow as a substitute for additional melee weapons.

In short, a great companion.

How to get there: Drangleic Castle, in a chest before the Double Dragonrider boss fight.

8. Solar sword

Next, we have something that will really make you want to praise the sun.

Sun Sword is the best straight sword for most melee builds, but especially those that have quality due to its top-notch A-scale in both strength and dexterity.

Being a straight sword means that it is fast and agile, allowing you to make a few attacks and then fall back to recover.

If we are considering herbal teas, then the Varangian Sword would be a better option.

How to obtain: Reward for reaching the second rank with the Heirs of the Sun pact.

7. Curved Zero Greatsword

The curved jaws thing is really interesting.

There are a total of four of them in the game, and you really can’t go wrong using any of them.

When fully upgraded, they have similar damage values, the only difference being the attribute they primarily scale with.

I chose to go with the curved Greatsword Nil here due to its unique power moves and extraordinary reaction to infusions.

Also, it’s the only weapon that scales with game completion (+100 AR bonus on NG + 9)!

How to get it: Treasure in Frozen Eleum Loyce, in a metal chest after the Inner Wall bonfire.

6. Craftsman’s Hammer

It’s no secret that a disproportionate number of enemies in this game are weak to damage, making hammers and large hammers, in general, the best weapons to have.

That leads to simple items, like the Craftsman’s Hammer, being just as good at softening bones as work tools.

If you are looking for an alternative, the mace can be obtained much faster and is just as strong.

How to get there: Lost Bastille in the room with Steady Hand McDuff. Light the fires in the room to make her stand up.

5. Mastodon Halberd

The Mastodon Halberd is a familiar face in these places, and it’s good enough to grace another one of our lists once again.

Whether it’s physical or elemental damage, this bad boy has it all.

With a base attack rating of 410 or a split of 287/287 after infusion, this halberd makes sure nothing remains standing, after a single hit.

It doesn’t take long to realize the raw power this thing possesses.

How to get it: Dropped by Primal Knights.

4. Twin sword of red iron

I find it a bit amusing that the slowest Twinblade in the bunch is actually the top of its kind …

Swinging the Red Iron will make you feel like Darth Maul with his double-bladed lightsaber, melting everything in your path.

It deals incredible amounts of damage both physical and balanced, all with excellent tracking.

As the icing on the cake, this twin blade is durable like steel!

How to get it: Treasure found on a corpse in Amana Shrine.

3. Rapier

I spoke previously about the capabilities of a rapier, and I come back once again to back up that claim.

They are very fast and their damage is through the roof!

A couple of button presses will pepper any enemy with holes, defeating them in the process.

Let me clarify that the reason I’m speaking in the plural is that most thrusting swords are equally powerful, and the cream of the crop is the regular Rapier, Rapier Sword, and Ice Rapier.

How to get it: The rapier is sold by Blacksmith Leningrad. Rapier Sword is a reward from Chancellor Wellager after defeating the Lord of the Giants.

2. Ultra King’s Greatsword

Don’t be fooled by the misleading words “Ultra Greatsword”, as this weapon is a hammer in disguise.

The King’s Ultra Great Sword is a fairly literal monument to pain, as it is a giant slab of rock with a hilt attached (thus dealing damage per hit).

Balancing this thing takes a lot of effort. But it also completely pulverizes anything that dares to cross its path.

A weapon is worthy of a true lord.

How to get it: Trade the King’s Soul with the Ornifex Gunsmith.

1. Big club

Drum roll, please!

And the best weapon in the whole game is … a round piece of wood?

A bit anticlimactic, huh?

Well, on a more serious note, the Large Club is very similar to most other big hammers so it all depends on which size you prefer.

Its siblings, the Great Club and the Smelter Hammer (also known as the Greatest Club) are equally valid options as well.

I told you, hit damage is king!
