Stat Requirements: 24 Strength, 10 Dexterity
Zweihander Location: Next to a grave before The Catacombs in Firelink Shrine In addition to this, the weapon upgrades can also vary, so be sure to pick a weapon that fits well with your build, and also one that scales to your stats. Be wary of the latter throughout the game, though - weapons with absurdly high stat requirements are often less effective than you think, and can actually top out lower than you expect. Here are four recommended weapons to aim for in Dark Souls, where to find them and their requirements. Our picks for the best weapons in Dark Souls- Zweihander, Balder Side Sword and Uchigatana If you're looking for more help, our Dark Souls walkthrough and guide can help with all other areas of the game, including the dreaded Taurus Demon, Capra Demon, Ornstein and Smough bosses. There are also boss weapons, too, you can craft from certain defeated enemies.
Some of these can be acquired early, and give you an advantage, if you want to run that weapon for the duration of the game. Finding the best weapon in Dark Souls is tricky - there is no single 'best', but there are plenty of standouts - particularly the Zweihander, Balder Side Sword and Uchigatana - that you will want to consider when playing the game.
