Bone Fist is a weapon in Dark Souls 2. Bone Fist is a hand-to-hand combat weapon obtained in the Crown of the Ivory King DLC. Upgrading it to +5 with twinkling titanite enhances its capabilities. With 45 Dex and 22 Str for power stance, the heavy attack unleashes a high-damage projectile, proving effective in PvP. It can be power-stanced with other fist weapons, and the power stance strong attack offers substantial poise.
Bone that is bound to the fist. Used to enhance hand-to-hand combat.
Salvaged from a malformed creature.
Enables one to fight with inhuman strength, as if the very spirit of the bone's malicious owner had taken control.
Acquired From
- DLC Crown of the Ivory King.
- Behind a door which is found through a side passage after you go through the door at the back of the room full of boxes (To the left of the door to the Abandoned Dwelling Bonfire). This door has 4 unlit fire stands which must be lit to open. To light these you must beat The King's Pet and talk to the Princess. Once through the door there is a wall you can activate on the immediate left (press A), follow that and it is on a body.
- To replicate this item via bonfire ascetic one has to use the Outer Wall bonfire.
- Frozen Reindeers drops these when summoned. Rare drop.
Hints and Tips:
- Upgraded with twinkling titanite to +5
- When in power stance (requires 45 Dex and 22 Str) use the heavy attack to shoot a projectile, deals high damage and knocks down small humanoid enemies, extremely useful for PvP usage.
- Can be powerstanced with any fist weapons or barehand, and the powerstance strong attack damage is affected only by the right weapon, although the powerstance strong attack can be used only when Bone Fist is equipped on the right hand.
- Powerstance strong attack does not deplete the durability of Vanquisher's Seal ring,
- Compared to the other fist weapons the Bone fist is notably slower, the one handed strong attack is probably the only fast attack this weapon has with its quick low sweep to forced back punch, the running attack is a running flying kick that can send players and human sized enemies flying, however caution is warranted when you are facing a ledge as you can jump kick to your death, also there is a slight delay before you can move freely after and leaves open a back stab.The power stance strong attack takes 5 durability per Hadouken, the Bracing Knuckle Ring +2 does NOT drop the durability cost.
- Your attack frames will give you immense poise (similar to swinging large weapons) that is incredibly hard to break and allows you to combo down opponents who try to to get into a literal fist fight with you.
- Interesting Fact : the Bone Fist is actually still valuable even broken. The scaling is so high that it is still able to decent damage because it only loses the base damage when broken (which is 20 at +5)
- The Bone Fist's strong attack resembles how Andre of Astora from the previous game fights, if the player aggros him.

If you are one of the people farming the frozen reindeers for this weapon, give it up because after farming for 6 straight hours, the only things they give are petrified dragon bones, old radiant life gems and f**king brain aneurysm.

This weapon looks quite good with the engraved gauntlets equipped. They kind of look like an extension of each other.

After all these years I usually tend to forget why I had so much fun with this game and then I remember using this weapon. I just couldn't get enough of enemies turning into training bags while I was doing Street Fighter moves. When you have the immense power of punches from 70's action movies on your side, you can't go wrong with the bone fist.
While I just dual wield these and wear singer dress on a fat guy, invade other people and sing "we are the legends of the kung fu panda"

Regardless of how much people hate on Dark Souls 2 (said hatred is undeserved imo), You have to admit it has some of the coolest and most unique weapons of any souls game, It's by far the only game where you can straight-up go full Andre of Astora on peoples asses and dropkick them so hard they go flying like ragdolls

Try with Majestic great sword in left hand.
Funnest build as both have knock down capability and combo great together.
A staple combo is Drop kick or sweepkick-punch to knock down then use majestic spin attack, but the other variations are great fun too.
It's a fun acrobatic blade brawler build. Almost feels like Nightmare from SC.

When using the Special Attack with the Bracing Knuckle Ring +2 still takes away 5 durability.
Should I pair the ring with something else?

god i love this weapon. but i hate how hard it is to get in a normal playthrough. being locked to Crown of the Ivory King is a ***** as youll be at least halfway through the base game when you can even get to the area and to kill Aava that early is just a pain. but if you can manage it these are ****ing great. i hope they have something like this in Elden Ring and that its nowhere near as hard to get

too pad the funny powerstancing moves are completely useless in the games PVE. you dont have time to chain together combos or do long animation moves against bosses. you'd be better off just spamming 2hand R2s with the vanquishers seal.

You can roleplay chester from darksouls 1, durgo's hat with Northwarder set, and this weapon, the R2 is a sweep kick just like Chester's kick

The only weapon I've seen where the whole community agrees its the most entertaining weapon in all of darksouls, shame they never decided to bring it to ds3, let's hope they bring a weapon similar to elden ring

This weapon's move set is a Tekken reference, it uses moves from Jinpachi and Heihachi's Mishima style combat karate.
It's weird to me that nobody ever brings this up in any wiki page.

Is this worth upgrading? I mean, it doesn't seem to add a lot of damage

Greatest weapon to exist , while difficult to master, it is a destroyer, albeit slow its ability to stun lock is a trade, but it's style is it's gold, this fist can be used with other weapons as part of a combo, It goes smooth with a katana's one handed thrust such as like sir alonne's blade, other weapons too goes smooth, but with a caestus it can be used to offset the slowness if you have not mastered it.

First time playing the DLCs (I know, I know I'm late), I just found this, tried it on some soldier, and I honestly think something's wrong here. It's damage is....high. I mean, very high

I used them is as a way to absolutly toss my enemies like salad, I have never loved a weapon more
- Anonymous
Should be noted that the Poise Damage that these put out is insane. They may do less damage than the Caestus, but they'll stagger almost any staggerable enemy from a single R1 attack, especially if you have the Stone Ring equipped.

Sure the powerstance shoot hadouken but try this thing 2handed. Every punch hits like a truck. Always loved the idea of 2handing firstweapon. It like good old star trek cpt Kirk punches. Also the roll attack is a shoruyoken or mario type jump punch that lauches the enemy hehe. This weapon is so good and does massive poise dmg. With a stonering youll stagger things for days and the moveset is varied as heck, especially since 2handing unlocks a bunch you can switch between when otherwise powerstancing. And they weigh less than most rings; i never go without a vouple on appropriate builds.

This thing rekindled my love for Dark Souls 2. Like, look at it. When I first started Dark Souls and thought that Raw infusion and two-handed UGS was the only way to go because big big number make tiny monkey brain squirt happy chemical, I would've scoffed at this thing. Now that I know these games so well, these are now my favorite weapon in the series. I wish they were in Dark Souls 3 as well. This thing is such a blast to play around with and it has so much versatility that I'd take this over a UGS any day.

When you're bored, you can use this to make enemies/NPCs fall off cliffs... Like the NPC in Majula, flying kick them off The Pit. Even if you lack the required stats, the 1h R2 and flying kick attacks can still knock people flying... Do this only if you're playing a sinner character or do backup saves though.

Does anybody know the martial art(s) or fighting style(s) that the bone fists attacks are based off of?
surprising note I didn't see on this page: the 1h and 2h heavy attacks on the bone fist can be canceled early into a dodge/backstep. as far as I've seen this is the only weapon that has this feature
