Dark Souls 2 Weapons Guide

Did I play DS2 wrong? I actually never even spent enough time doing an area to get a weapon to at risk.

Currently doing a quality melee build in DS2, but I've noticed a lot of weapons with faith/int scaling don't actually have stat requirements in that field (At least according to the wiki). So could I focus on levelling strength/dex and make these weapons work on quality without any levels into intelligence or faith?

Submit

It should be easier to obtain all.

Submit

There should be a mechanic (not necessarily in this game) where you could throw your weapon (not thoses knifes). It would deal lots of damage, but you would need to grab your weapon after throwing it.

Submit

Trust me and max every weapon that matches your build.
All weapons have low durability and also you get billions of titanite slabs.

Submit

unrelated what's y'all favorite piece of music in the game

Submit

I thought I had so many weapons already... there's a whole lotta more than I didn't know that existed damnn

coming back to ds2 after elden ring sucked at powerstancing and weapon variety with everything needing int or faith than str or dex after like 9 years is so refreshing holy **** i'm definitely sticking with this for a while again

Submit

this game made me appreciate greathammers and their niche. Greatclub was a godsend for getting through consec... I mean frozen deer hellhole. A bit of damage loss didn't matter if they couldn't retaliate :D

Submit

the links for Katanas and Piercing Swords both lead to the links for Curved Greatswords
gg fextra

Submit

A few people have pointed out how the icons are the same as the ones on the ds3 page. But they haven't even changed it for icons of weapons that are not in this game. Looks like the B team made the wiki too.

Submit

Clicking on the Thrusting Sword weapon category takes you to the Curved Greatsword page, Think that needs to be fixed

Submit

Anybody know the weapons you can't obtain by only playing offline?

Submit

Which weapons have 2 or more elemental damage?

Submit

Anyone have a list with all the weapons that (can) have S scaling?

Submit

20 is the lowest durability?

Submit

I wish DS2 was more active and they expanded the world or something. I had so much fun playing with all the different weapons. So much great variety.

Submit

Gotta love how the weapon category icons are the exact same as the ones on the Dark Souls 3 wiki, yeah really putting some effort in there guys

Submit

I finally got every single one upgraded to max with my 40,000 soul memory character. I can drop any weapon at max for someone with 0 souls

Submit

Why no boomerang?

Submit

Which weapons are good for a jack-of-all-trades build?

Submit

Anyone has list of all weapons that have special attack?

Submit

hehe red iron twinblades

Submit

has anybody else noticed that at the top of this page, the DS3 and DS2 weapon page have the same icons, and they're from DS3? not complaining, just wanted to point it out.

Submit

Demons Great Hammer

Or

Crypt Blacksword

Any more questions?

Submit

God, even if this game got fewer weapons than elden ring, I still somehow think this game got more versatility and variety of weapons. Too many weapons in that game with int/fth req. Was really boring to play as a quality build just to have the cool stuff for int/fth

Submit

The beauty of DS2 was that every weapon felt special in some way and was more or less powerful; maybe is the nostalgic trip i'm doing that speaks throw my tongue, idk. By the way, ER pvp is just that bad and unbalanced that makes me miss DS2/3 one even more.

Submit

this game is as$ lol

Submit

i miss the pvp of this game so much, ER's pvp is the unfathomably unbalanced and most of the weapons are nowhere as unique and cool as the ones in this game

Submit

please reintroduced the beta items

Submit

i describe ds2 as a broken pen it runs smooth at times but is really ass in the invations and conections

Submit

Diarrhea

Submit

does anyone else realize they reuse the DS3 textures at the top of the wiki?

Submit

Don't bother reading all this stuff, just trust me and use the mace.

Submit

Hehehe!
The Virgin Dark Souls 2 vs the Chad every other game

Submit

Is there a Katana in ds2 like bloodlust in ds3? The one that can damage you

Submit

There is a black knight greatsword in the iron keep area (SotFS)

Submit

I hope Elden Ring has HALF the weapon versatility as DS2. So many incredible and unique weapons in this game

Submit

Soul memory
:')

Submit

Dark souls 2 got the right idea about swords, in this game swords are potrayed pretty realisticly, they are depicted as elegant weapons that require a lot of training (or dexterity)

Submit

ALL HAIL OUR GOD, THE PRIME HEIFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Submit

What’s everyone’s top 3 fav weapons? Mine are Black Knight GS, MOON GS, and Smeltah Hammah (all great for no death runs)

Submit

SOULS 2 BEST SOULS GAME

Submit

Say what you want about Dark Souls 2’s lore, map design, mechanics, etc, but you cannot deny that this has the greatest weapon selection of all 3 Soul games (Bloodborne is on another level.) The variety and move sets all just fit a sequel perfectly.

Submit

you can say what you want about dark souls 2 being janky, but it definitely has the best weapons (especially greatswords with their movesets) out of all of the souls games imo

Submit

Demons Great Hammer easily S+ tier y'all dex beta males SLEEPIN

Submit

You can say alot about Dark Souls 2, but they really nailed the weapon compartment

Submit

I don't mean anything to dex build users but JESUS F*CKING CHRIST FROMSOFTWARE WHY ARE 60% OF THE WEAPONS DEX WEAPONS

Submit

The 5+ shortsword needs to be put on the list of pre-upgraded weapons

Submit

is there any weapon and armor to use because i been have havel the rock build, HAVELS SET, HAVELS GREATSHIELD and DRAGON TOOTH ALL to the maximum plus

Submit

i feel like this game had the most unique weapons out of the three

Submit

remember everyone, Every weapon is the worst no matter how powerful it is

Submit

How come the icons for the weapon categories section use DS3 icons?

Submit

what is the best weapon type here mine is greatswords and great hammers but what about you?

Submit

I've had insane time on this game (300+ hrs) and I didn't even know some of these weapons existed!

Submit

I know DS1, DS3 and Bloodborne inside out and despite this game being my first I’m seeing so many weapons for the first time here which is fascinating. I really didn’t give DS2 enough time.

Submit

It is a huge shame there are no twinblades in DS3, they were really fun

Submit

There are 249 weapons here (including: chimes, staves flames, crossbows, greatbows, bows, whips, twinblades, reapers, lances, halberds, pikes/spears, fists/claws, greathammers, hammers, greataxes, axes, piercing swords, katanas, curved swords, curved greatswords, ultra-greatswords, greatswords, strait swords, and daggers)

Submit

good thing twinks got all those partially upgraded weapons in the dlc to abuse new players

Submit

Anyone else notice that at the top the category images are from DS3?

Submit

Honestly, I don't like greatswords verticle slice, so this game makes me use weapons i never thought i would use and end up having fun with them!

Submit

A lot of the weapons in this game were really creative and cool, and should have been carried over into ds3. Crypt blacksword, at least 1 twinblade, bewitched alonne sword, sanctum crossbow, loyce greatsword, bone fist, and ivory king greatsword all were weapons I would have loved to see in ds3

Submit

Dark Souls 2
The only souls game that makes (almost) every weapon viable.

Just a side note. If you mod saves, try infusing chimes and staves with poison in the save editor. It takes effect in game. Not only does it add poison damage it greatly boosts the entire stats and scaling. Bleed is equivalent to it. All others improves stats a little bit

Submit

i have full moon sickle if you still want one

Submit

Greatsword when using two hands sometimes slash no hit on the enemy when they move round to the left or right. Is this a bug?

Submit

Why are all the icons for the weapon categories Dark Souls 3 icons?

Submit

Anybody know a low requirement no scailing weapon for a lvl 1 run im doing? ( no broken straight sword since this is my first time )

Submit

Minor issue but the Chariot Lance icon is the Grand Lance icon.

Submit

After playing the remaster and DS3 down to the very bone, I thought it was time to try this game out. Any weapon recommendations for someone running blindly into this game?

Submit

Very important info for low soul memory players is the locations of ready upgraded weapons. It should be in clear view on this wiki but it is not. This website is preventing me from linking to a reddit page listing all the ready upgraded weapons. So there is the list typed out below: Partizan +6 Brume Collapsing floor area Scythe +7 Brume Ladder near first bonfire Caestus +8 Brume Upper Floor bonfire Broadsword +7 Brume Near Iron Warrior door room Alonne Greatbow +5 Brume Near Maldron Winged Spear +7 Eleum Loyce Dog courtyard Priests Chime +8 Eleum Loyce Near Frozen Stairs Large Club +7 Eleum Loyce White Covetous Demon Long Bow +7 Shulva Past 1st group of Sanctum archers Notched Whip +7 Shulva Weird Repair Tre Lightning Short Bow +1 Iron Keep Eygil's Idol

Submit

Arguably the most important info for low Soul Memory players. This needs to be placed up front on this wiki. Cheers

Submit

Uh, why are the images for the weapon categories at the top of the page the DS3 versions? Lazy wiki dudes?

Submit

Best two weapons for Dexterity dual wield?

Submit

Has anyone even noticed that the shown weapons for all the categories (save twinblades) are from DS3?

Submit

Anyone still playing DS2? Got tired of remastered played it so damn much

Submit

does anyone have all the weapons on one profile

Submit

250 weapons precisely

Submit

The retainers’ staff is missing from this list; it is dropped from the mages in the Ivory Crown DLC (Confirmed on NG+)

Submit

Mmm, it seems this site is also experiencing similar problems like ds3, so do us all a massive favour fextralife and fricken fix it so i can get the results i want!

Submit

So, question. I've got two characters, a warrior and a swordsman. For my first I have the red iron twinblade and at +10 it has 340 base damage. I just picked it up for my swordsman and it has only 180 at. +10.
Why?

Submit

is moon butter fly set with +10 poison butterfly shield with a great-sword a good idea? it look's like it'll rack a lot of damage but i'm not sure.

Submit

Anyone have a full moon sickle they are willing to trade? the drop rate on it is atrocious even with the prisoners tatters and mask and covetous gold serpent ring +2 im on xbox one

Submit

Why is there one of the categories "Dark Souls 3 weapons" and why does it link to the Dark Souls 3 wiki?

Submit

So many builds, so little vessels

Submit

RIP Black Knight Armour and Shield

Submit

Would anyone mind giving me their weapons,armor,and rings I honestly at this point don't feel like farming. But if you're interested in doing so I'm on PS4 my PSN is Spankyunasty and my SM is 2.5 mil

Submit

Too many weapons, yet many of them have exactly the same moveset, with minor differences in stats
Only idiots would think this is better than DS3

Submit

soo many more weapons than ds3.

Submit

Is there a way to upgrade a weapon past +10, glitch or something?

Submit

Missing the bellvine staff

Submit

Where is santier's Spear?

Submit

Same applies to Dragonrider twinblade https://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/Dragonrider+Twinblade

Someone edit this page: The curved twinblade is linking to: https://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/+Curved+Twinblade
