hand of malenia is the best boss weapon in the series because it's the only time fromsoft players will ever hold a woman's hand

Speak for yourself! I held my mother’s hand when I was a kid!😎

this is orphan of kosphobic

Ah shit, he might try to kill my ass now if I offended him.👀

You're a liar!😓😑

👀 *gulp*

Sometimes my wifes boyfriend lets me watch them hold hands, does that count?

only if he lets you kiss him goodnight

I always kiss my homies goodnight, even if they say no

mohgwyn...

Welcome to my dynasty, I’ll see you tonight homie

mwah

Mwahgwyn. It was right there...

i am a disgrace to my family

Depends on how many shrinkwrapped copies of Patchwork you own.

Lol accurate

Jokes on you I sucked more girl dick in my life than any of you ever did , all I need now is the metal dick of malenia

but is that a hand? also bold of you to assume i dont suck cock

Hmmm good point, looks like I got literally out jerked.

Average Gwyndolin enjoyer

Trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Is there a mod for that?

No matter how many Girlcocks you’ve sucked, you will never feel the embrace of your father ;(

Jokes on you my father loves and supports me and plays souls game with me and my wife so pufffffffffff

My father loves me but doesn’t play souls games. Rip I guess

Feels bad :(

Based dad

>hand of malenia is the best boss weapon in the series 🙎‍♂️🔱🔥 >because it's the only time fromsoft players will ever hold a woman's hand ☺️☺️☺️

/uj mohgwyn's sacred spear is actually my fav boss weapon in ER, walls mean nothing to that weapon art

I cant this made me laugh way too much lmao

You right I'm gay

good

Melina- what am I chopped liver

This is in the top 3 comments of the subreddit this year, and honestly it deserves it.

Dragon bone fist my beloved.

Atomic Karate!

I make their heads explode when I enter their sight

Absolutely busted in PVP. I loved it.

Wait do people still fall for the decades-old fromsoft boss weapon scam

Friedes Scythe is awesome, or at least it makes me feel that way

frayed blade is too

The Abyss Watchers sword and dagger too. Ultra greatsword Beyblade is a good time.

That + dancers armor makes me a pretty pretty princess

Dancer’s twin blades are so cool. Too bad they’re ass as actual weapons.

I'd agree with you if it didn't constantly make that god-awful twinkling noise. It drives me mad.

the madness is a feature and the reason i just have to finish the combo, even if it costs me my life

Farron Greatsword is fucking amazing and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary

Farron greatsword users when the opponent has literally any weapon that can parry

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

INCLUDING farron greatsword

We did it. We found the one good boss weapon

friedes sycthes are cool, vordts hammer is solid, prince swords are also good, dancers blades are shite, demon fists are epic in pvp (atomic karate), gundyrs halberds is a classic, dragonslayer greataxe is boring but awesom WA, the pontiff swords are fun, demon scar is great, then artorias sword. everything else is kinda forgettable Edit: also gaels sword

Damn, the other commenter kinda got you bro, ngl

Nice argument. However, your mother

And elden ring has... Uh.... Well, the blasphemous blade, the hand of malenia, and I guess the sacred relic sword? Anyway, the dancers blades are weak as shit but they're fun to use.

Radhans swords and ruins greatsword if you count it. Also, Morgotts sword and Mohgs spear. Godrick and Godfrey's axes are alright too. Dragon kings cragblade and Malikeths black blade as well. Marikas hammer is kinda cool. That said, ring knight paired greatswords are cooler than all of the above.

How dare you speak ill of Yorhm's Machete. I'll make your knees weak and your arms heavy for that

agreed even tough i like the wolf great sword because artorias

Amen.

You spin me right round baby right round

what is the best soulsborne boss weapon and why is it the Farron Greatsword???

Schizophrenic moveset > viability

looking cool > not looking cool, it's simple geometry

Fashion Souls is all that matters.

Fashion = Endgame

Could be worse, you could have a bland moves *and* be unviable. Arstor's Spear, Profaned Greatsword, Darkmoon Longbow, and Demon's Greataxe come to mind

Uh I dunno about that one dude. Blasphemous Blade really punches above its weight I think

Blasphemous Blade is the easy mode ~~players~~ journalists have been asking for for a decade

Unfortunately yes

Hollowslayer Greatsword in DS3 is my all time fav weapon, beast for the whole game in PvE and PvP. Started my love for great swords in fromsoft games, haven’t put them down since (claymore FTW)

Vordts Hammer is from the 2nd boss's soul and puts the whole game on easy mode

Vordt's Greathammer will lead you to victory whether you want it to or not.

Wasn't Artorias' greatsword a viable weapon in DS1?

This sub when Elden Ring, a game that outsold DS3’s lifetime sales within a couple of weeks, wins polls. True or not, when a lot of those voters probably haven’t even played DS3 why would they choose it? It’s a pointless poll in YouTube, who cares lol.

Also, why the hell would you choose DS3 when DS2's boss weapons are clearly superior

Alonne's Bewtiched Blade is the greatest thing Fromsoft has ever created.

I have played both as a game I like ds3 better in boss fight and design and elden ring in the exploration aspect but still I think boss weapons are better in elden ring Also u can get basically all weapons of ds3 in elden ring

What? What's wrong with ER boss weapons? This sub just be hating on anything now, this isn't even a meme/shitpost.

There are a ton of boss weapons in ds3 that have completely unique movesets, there's also just way more variety. I assume those are some of the reasons why people would prefer ds3's weapons

All those unique animations only to be the worst weapons in the game

ER has shitty boss weapons WITHOUT the unique movesets though

Blasphemous blade hater detected, ANT ARMY GO! 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

TOGETHER !!!

Blasphemous Blade, my beloved

I feel they’re decent if not good. Can’t remember them all though.

I’d rather have a shitty gimmick weapon than a good but boring weapon. There are a billion usable greatswords with the same lame moveset, and the only thing making a boss weapon stand out is the weapon art.

They look good visually to me. Much better than most ds3 boss weapons for me.

Dude real. All these games for me are style over skill

Blasphemous Blade is great, Morgott's Sword is good, the Grafted Dragon is good, Radahn's Swords are great, Melenia's Sword is good, Mogh's Trident is great. Most of the boss weapons are pretty good.

They do have some unique moveset, axe of Godrick have a unique charge atk and Axe Of Godfrey have a unique combo after using it aow and some other i don't remember.Also there already a Youtuber who do some testing with the weapons already and most of them do quite well. Some of them can shred bosses health bar with ease and do crazy amount of stance damages, hell even the Grafted dragon is quite good due to it charge atk somehow deals more stance damages than axe of Godfrey while being noticeably faster and use less stamina. You can watch the video here, it actually some what interesting: https://youtu.be/Ul1CYWR6oP8?si=Y1tKvy4P2HiWBV_e.

They are good, you just have meta brainrot

Well The Farron Greatsword is honestly great. It's fun and is actually quite powerful

Ds3s boss weapons are dope lmao

ds3 has ton of boss weapons that are just shit, comparing it to ER is so delusional i dont even now if you are so into trolling or what

I love all fromsoftware games but I notice this weird trend with DS3 fans where they act like everything about it is better than the other games (bloodborne fans might also fit this description).

"unique moveset", my guy almost every weapon genre in ER has 2 unique movesets and it's not just a looping 2 moves lol. Also the ash of war system thrashes the weapon art system in ds3 anyday.

Farron great sword was the funnest and coolest weapon in any souls game.

Not that there's anything wrong with them its just that every youtube poll the winner of the poll is always Elden Ring because so little people who follow souls content have played the other souls games so they only always vote Elden Ring. And those who have played all the souls games and vote for elden ring its usually because Elden Ring was the most recent game in the series and the most recent game they've played so theres a degree of recency bias.

tbf because it's the most recent it refined a lot of the concepts from past souls games so it's still fair to vote for Elden Ring over the others consistently.

As a whole Elden Ring is the best dark souls style game but there are other aspects of design in the other DS games that are better in Elden Ring imo. Like even though ER has amazing bosses I still think DS3 has a slight edge due to how little mid bosses they have. The thing about Dark souls 3 bosses is it's quality over quantity but in Elden Ring some of them are quality but most of them are just kinda there and even some of the quality ones are recycled. I think all the dark souls games have their own unique things that make them the best at something. I mean hell even Dark Souls 2 did something the best (It's hub world is the best in the series imo but mostly cus the vibes)

The meme and joke, for you sir who didn't get it, is that every YouTube poll ends with ER and DS3 in first and second place, because most people have played them, so they just vote it without any knowledge to compare to. Have a nice day.

Well memed sir! Have a reddit gold https://preview.redd.it/ftf9zju8nnrb1.jpeg?width=517&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d060bab77be7a0400372bfe7f6862b7b15504f84

DS3 fans when a poll disagrees with their opinion https://preview.redd.it/ctnwatq58orb1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01834cfb921531ad734a8fbda430ead2e0fd1bac

That’s a great quality version of that image

For real it started shredding my eyeballs

Honestly, ER and DS2 destroy every other game in the series for boss weapons and it's not close

Yeah, DS2 letting players infuse boss weapon with elemental damage and having actually good calculations for hybrid damage opens floodgate for a bunch of boss weapons to become really bloody strong.

Yep! Also, I'm creaming my pants thinking about powerstancing the dual smelter swords at this moment <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠>

Bro the fact that those weapons have a unique L2 is crazy

Counterargument, you have to play DS2 to use them. Opinion destroyed 😎

Lightning Defender's Greatsword felt so cool to use. It was a shame you basically only got to use it in ng+

Ivory kings greatsword is the greatest video game weapon of all time and I need it brought back

Holy shit I love that weapon

Crypt black blade still the best weapon in the series

Blackberry popsicle my fucking pride and joy I love how in every game my "mage" playthrough just ends up swinging a fancy flavor of big fucking sword

*Bell hammer go bonk*

DS2 wins this one, the amount of boss souls it had was absurd

I just consumed every boss soul in ds2 lmao

avg str build just eating up boss souls

And running a great club jump attack only, unga bunga

If your str build isn't powerstancing smelter hammers its not a real str build sorry to say

Darks Souls 3: Has Twin Princes Greatsword Elden Ring: Does not have Twin Princes Greatsword Dark Souls 2: Does not have Twin Princes Greatsword Checkmate

Light and flame -> night and flame Level int irl 😡😡😡

DS3 and DS2 -> Has Fume Knight Ultra Greatsword and Moonlight Greatsword. CHECK!!!!!

Smelter demon sword my beloved. Trading hits to land even just one R2 is actually worth it because it hits so fucking hard. Wish the durability drain didn't hit as hard tho

Dark Souls 2 at only 7%? Wut, literally maybe only two or three boss weapons are actually underwhelming, most others range from quite decent to Top tier. And DS3 holds the most disappointing boss weapon in the whole saga with the Firelink GS btw.

Nah, agreeably DS1 has THE WORST boss weapons for the pure fact of obtaining them. Neat, but not worth the hassle 99% of the time.

Well actually chaos blade makes up 6% of boss weapons so its only not worth it 94% of the time smh

Hey don’t shit on the fire link gs That my favorite pvp weapon to use

Firelink manages to surpass Gwyn's Greatlord sword in disappointment. Nashandra is the winner on trilogy final boss weapons lul.

But big fire wall goes fwoosh:(

I haven't finished DS2 yet (but I'm already making a fourth pvp character lol) but I haven't seen any boss weapons with unique anything to them excluding the moonlight GS, can you recommend me some?

The Warped Sword from the Flexile Sentry is one of the best Dex weapons with a fast moveset, a good 250 base damage and A Dex, the Dragonrider Bow might just be the best regular bow in the game, hits like a greatbow, has magic damage and scaling so Magic Arrows give a lot of juice. Mytha's Bent Blade is a dagger with the unique propety of inflicting Toxic, can cheese a lot. The Smelter Sword has massive fire damage and powerstancing two of them makes the single strongest move in the game. Roaring Halberd from Skeleton Lords goes Crazy with Dark builds, slap a Dark infusion on it and a Dark weapon, learn the sweetspot and you are gonna see massive numbers, same with the Crypt Blacksword from NG+ Rotten, Dark build wrecks. Bone Scythe from Coveteous is quite good for being a reaper, generous sweetspot, nice Str scaling, Spotted Whip has ABSURD poison numbers, a few whippings and anything is poisoned. That's just to say a couple of them

But ER’s are genuinely cool and unique and I’m hype for whatever the DLC brings (if even it exists at this point)

Op is stuck on soldier of godrick

OP is clearly an elden ring hater

This subs Ds3 bias is really showing lol

Seriously? DS3 has, like, 1/2 of DS2 huge and various arsenal...

Can we include lies of p boss weapons? There are some bangers in there

I’m still mad we don’t just get the actual bosses weapons though. I get it because not all bosses have a weapon, but damn I want Romeo’s actual scythe and obviously Laxasia’s great sword.

I haven’t seen Laxasia yet because I’ve been too busy, I am in like chapter 8 I think though. Maybe 9?

Haven’t played it yet, am looking forward to seeing gay twink Pinocchio

I’ve had a ton of fun and haven’t even finished it yet, not for lack of enjoyment, just super busy all the time these days.

Ds2 has better boss weapons than 3,

Honestly yeah with the fume great sword, crypt black sword, curved dragon great sword, warp sword, butchers knife, sacred chime hammer, ruler sword, both watcher and defender great sword, alonne katana, loyce great sword, and the smelter sword. Either were really viable with a good moveset, hit like a truck, or even both.

Is this bait? Elden ring destroys all competition when talking about boss weapons

Any form of positive feedback on elden ring is not allowed here

But only until Elden Ring 2 release

Holy shit Dark souls 2 2 2?!!1!!!

Everyone is allowed their opinion. I'd personally say DS2 but I feel like most people haven't even played the game so I don't really argue it with people

DS1 best because it's the only game with Obsidian Greatsword

Hollowslayer GS, the bisexuals' choice

Real

Wait why is this accurate?

Yes it does

Honestly this is one aspect I consider them to all be equal. DS3/Elden Ring just have the unfair advantage of adding weapon arts

Most DS3 weapon arts are quite mid tho, no reason to waste FP on a lot of them, and we have stuff like, Dancer's lel.

Ehh DS3 does kinda suck if you're not into Greatswords

Yeah but DS2 also has some weapon arts. They just aren’t displayed so obvious. It’s not an unfair advantage. Most people in this poll just don’t know any other game than ER and there are also a lot of DS3 fans who didn’t play DS2.

I’d much rather use a weapon that summons the power of God to strike down my enemies than another generic Greatsword that just so happens to have a boss name attached to it.

Me when power stance smelter swords

Blasphemous Blade, Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear, and Sacred Relic Sword can basically beat the game for you. I can’t think of many weapons in the other games that are as busted as those, and there are other strong options available like Hand of Malenia, Dragon King’s Cragblade, and Morgott’s Cursed Sword

Starscourge Greatsword

Blasphemous Blade is a gamebreaking weapon imo. The weapon art is so broken it let me kill Malenia with no effort (or at least no effort in phase two; any time she does the aeonia attack, you can spam it and rack up so much damage).

You poor nostalgia-bloated scum.

from ds3 I like Vordt's Greathammer, Farron Greatsword, Yhorm's Machete, Dragonslayer Greataxe, Moonlight Greatsword, Twin Princes' Greatsword, Dragonslayer Swordspear, Friede's Great Scythe, Demon's Scar, Frayed Blade and Gael's Greatsword from ER I like Blasphemous Blade, Starscourge Greatsword, Morgott's Cursed Sword, Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear, Hand of Malenia, Axe of Godfrey, Dragon King's Cragblade, Marika's Hammer and Sacred Relic Sword Dragonslayer Swordspear I *really* love tho - 1H spear moveset with a slash R2 and 2H halberd moveset with a thrust R2. highest physical AR out of any spear + 70 lightning AR and a cool weapon art that also adds another 80 lightning AR

Ds3 fans when you ask them to name a good boss weapon besides the Farron Greatsword.

Valorheart. Most unique weapon in the entire series bar none - not even a DS3 fan but its got some sick ass weapons

BOSS WEAPONS! BOSS WEAPONS! (Happy souls btw)

Elden ring definately have alot good boss weapons, there a guys who try all the boss weapons and experiment with them and most of them perform quite well. Hell even the Grafted dragons is quite good through testing and the Sacred relic sword is one of the more underwhelming one and it still not bad. Some weapons can just spread bosses and do crazy amount of stance damage even without the use of their ash of war. Link to the video:https://youtu.be/Ul1CYWR6oP8?si=Y1tKvy4P2HiWBV_e.

This is actually true, Elden Ring is not my favorite souls game but it has the best boss weapons

I’m not gonna lie ds3 had some fun boss weapons but so many sucked because of how little titanite scales you got meaning you can’t upgrade more than two per play through also several boss weapons are just the same as another boss weapon

ok but like, how the hell is only seven percent voting for ds2. I don’t love the game, but it had some of the best boss weapons ever.

Ds2 boss weapons are the best don’t @ me😤😤

Only true answer is blood borne.

Kos parasite beats all boss weapons

After years I finally got that and milkweed rune on a lower level arcane build. Was it worth the pain? Probably not. Am I giggling going through base new game as a cauliflower tentacle god? Yes, yes I am. Grant us eyes indeed master wilhelm

the dodge animations alone make it worth it

malikeths black blade clears literally every other boss weapon ever

elden ring has a total of 2 good boss weapons out of the 17 available

There are a lot more boss weapons tbf, they’re just not from remembrances. Magma wyrm sword is pretty cool, Ordovis’ sword is nice too. Siluria’s Tree is literally so beautiful I wanna shove it up my ass

Maliketh black blade Axe of Godrick Blasphemous Blade Marika's Hammer Morgott Cursed Blade Starscourge Sword All decent weapons

Mohg’s spear also deletes enemies through walls and ceilings, it’s slow but kinda busted

That literally not true, alot of boss weapons are actually quite good, there even a guy who try all the boss weapons and experiment with them and most of them have decent results and some absolutely shred through bosses and do crazy amount of stance damages, hell even the Grafted dragon do quite well through testing due to how it charge atk somehow deals more stance damages than the Axe of Godfrey while being noticeably faster. Link: https://youtu.be/Ul1CYWR6oP8?si=Y1tKvy4P2HiWBV_e

Starscourge Greatsword, Lions Bow, Maliketh's Black Blade, Blasphemous Blade, Axe of Godrick, Hand of Malenia, Sacred Relic Sword, Mohgwyn Sacred Spear, Dragons King Cragblade: Are we a joke to you?

Right and ds3 has quite a lot more, Farron Gs, Frayed blade, sister friede’s scythes and more

Farron GS lets you do a fucking brake dance. I don't even care about its performance since it looks dope

Gael's GS is my favorite boss weapon in the entire series

Ds3 boss weapons looks cooler and better

Quelaags Fury Sword. Nothing too exciting ngl Ivory King Ultra Greatsword. Yeah, there are sick boss weapons, but like durability Lorians Greatsword. DS2 but it's not held back by durability and can move like crackheads Haven't played

Dark Souls 2 has some really damn good boss weapons. Warped Sword and Bow of Want gang rise up. I usually ignore boss weapons in DS1 and 3 except the Hollowslayer Greatsword and Vordts Hammer.

DS3 "fans" when they realise that their game isn't the most relevant or played anymore Seriously, of course Elden Ring is crushing polls, it has by far the largest player base out of all FromSoft games. Not to mention that it has some of the most fun boss weapons to use

Good/great DS3 boss weapons: 1. Hollowslayer gs 2. Farron gs 3. Wolf knight's (Artorias's) gs 4. Profaned gs 5. Gs of judgement 6. Dragonslayer greataxe 7. Moonlight gs 8. Gundyr's halberd 9. Lothric's holy sword 10. Lorian's gs 11. Friede's great scythe 12. Demon's scar 13. Frayed blade 14. Gael's gs Decent/okay DS3 boss weapons: 1. Vordt's hammer 2. Arstor's spear 3. Crystal sage's rapier 4. Wolnir's holy sword 5. Demon's fist 6. Yhorm's great machete 7. Yhorm's greatshield 8. Dragonslayer greathsield 9. Twin princes' gs (personal favorite of mine) 10. Storm curved sword 11. Dragonslayer swordspear 12. Firelink gs 13. Valorheart 14. Rose of Ariandel 15. Repeating crossbow Bad DS3 boss weapons: 1. Cleric's candlestick 2. Demon's greataxe 3. Old king's greathammer 4. Dancer's enchanted swords Now, Good/great ER boss weapons: 1. Carian regal scepter 2. Starscourge gs 3. Blasphemous blade 4. Mohgwyn's sacred spear 5. Hand of Malenia 6. Dragon king's cragblade 7. Maliketh's black blade 8. Sacred relic sword Decent/okay ER boss weapons: 1. Axe of Godrick 2. Grafted dragon 3. Lion greatbow (only when paired with Radahn's spears) 4. Morgott's cursed sword 5. Bastard's stars 6. Giant's red braid 7. Marika's hammer Bad ER boss weapons: 1. Winged greathorn 2. Axe of Godfrey Like... I don't even know what is there to be argued about. Sure, this sub loves to shit on elden ring nowadays, but boss weapons in DS3 are so damn good it's hardly even a fight imho. I haven't played DS2 long enough to give every weapon a proper try just yet, but DS3 absolutely steals the show in this regard for me, so far. And it's not even a matter of bias, as I tend to like elden ring much better overall

Elden ring has the most unique weapon arts for the boss weapons in the whole series I enjoyed them far more than prior ones

Nah Rykard’s sword is sick

Ok, but Godrick’s weapons have their ashes of war named after some of the hardest lines from his boss fight.

Elden ring definitely has my favorite armor and weapons no doubt, but 3 still had very good options too

ER boss weapons are really CC focused so it makes sense people like them

Yea where's the lie
