The Sickest Boss Weapons from Every Soulsborne Game 

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.

I’m sorry to hear the boss weapons are sick I hope they get well soon. 😞

Now do the healthiest Boss weapons

Dragon king cragblade is the tip of placidusax’s tail that he is missing

I've got BOSS WEEAAAPONNSSS

"I don't have anything with me; but if you meet me out my house" *grabs megaphone* "I'VE GOT BOSS WEAPONS~!"

38:50 "great eepy" 😭

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.

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.

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 ❤❤❤❤

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

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

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.

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.

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.

As always Candle stuffs us full... of quality content.

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 videos, they are so fun and cozy. Video suggestion! Ranking every soulsborne armor set!

Love your content Candle, keep up the good work!

Your descriptions for the weapons are great lol verbose and insightful

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!

the man keeps on delivering thank you mr candle type 1a

I've expected Mogh's weapon for Elden Ring. But Morgott's was actually part of my main build

Morgotts cursed sword and dragon kings cragblade are fantastic in pvp as well

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.

That fear and hunger music at ds2’s intro bit caught me by surprise, good song

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

been killin it champ

Really enjoying your lists and your overall video scripts! Keep grinding, 100k subs will be yours in no time

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.

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?

A video on your favorite music from the series would be really cool!

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 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. ❤

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.

I love Spitfire Spear in Dark Souls 2. The fire effect in DS2 is so satisfying to watch.

Nice fear and hunger plug there with the morion blade lol

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.

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.

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

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.

this video made me bricked up, good job candle man!

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

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.

funger in the middle was fun to see

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 love you CANDLE Type 1a

Ivory kings sword is the best weapon in the whole series

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

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.

I never used ivorys straight sword but from what i seen it looks awesome each attack looks like a weapon from star wars

Is gael or isshin better? Literally depends on which one I've fought most recently

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.

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+++

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 👌

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!

My favorite from two is the crypt blacksword

an ex-friend of mine literally lives opposite that church in edinburgh it's so cool

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).

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

This list could have been all the different Moonlight Greatswords and I wouldn’t complain

The dozer axe looks like a demonic version of escanors axe from seven deadly sins

Morion is also a rare form of Amethyst, noteworthy as particularly dark purple, in some cases said to be 'nearly black'.

You've done bosses, you've done levels. Now its time for soulsborne all weapons ranked

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.

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.

My take on Elden ring Godfrey axe and the black blade are the ones I consider tho coolest cuz of the lore

The Player character wearing Morgotts Cloak and barely anything else looks so bloody funny

13:07 best weapon ever I respect the gs but requirements really high

Crypt black sword can get gotten on ng with one of them bonfire ascetics

demon souls morion blade reminds me of isu architecture from assassins' creed

6:27 that thing is Escanor's weapon lmao

"whats happening to me.... i, i cant stop watching! GOD PLEASE HELP ME I CANT STOP WATCHING!!!!"

19:14 he do be like me fr

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

It looks like the dragonslayer great axe is made from Ornstiens spear

You can actually get those 4 weapons from ds2 on your first playthrough with bonfire ascetics

I love how every entry is just that game's black greatsword lol

16:35 you can actually get it on your first playthrough, but yeah

Morgott's sword over malikeths black blade?! Damn

The Beast Claws are from a Darkbeast, so they'd count as a boss weapon.

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@

My favorite boss fromsoft ever did was Maria from Bloodborne.

Got my username from the Holy Moonlight Sword!

Love your videos and accent

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 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

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.

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

The sacred Shaime hammer lol

The sickest looking sword for me is probably the blue smelter sword from ds2

If they don't float down, i don't want them.

More of my sweet sweet Scottish Souls Gigachad? Much obliged

5:04 I didn't ply demon souls yet but if am gonna take a boos wespon sure penetrater gs

I feel like this guy likes great-swords only lol

You didn't have to start a new character for the abyss great sword You could have used that souls glitch

Mogh's spear is strongest weapon in the game, boss weapon or not.
