Bloodhound's Fang

[StickyFingaz]

that thing is OP as F ! I'm lvl 43 and was struggling a lot at every boss encounter around Limgrave with my +3 Uchigatana. I managed to beat that Bloodhound and got his sword. I've brought it to +4 and daaaammmn, i'm steamrolling everything around limgrave now. I've beaten 6 boss(or miniboss) on the first attempt now, i can't believe it !! i'm the type of guy who needs 40 attempts for any boss and now it's a one-shot deal. Incredible weapon, going to stick to it for sure !

Man, you will get to the area called Haligtree close to endgame - you use the fang's special there you fall to your death. The fang is useless there. But Haligtree is optional, beautiful though and such a waste if you skip it.

I mean, for the branches, yeah. But why would you need to use the skill there for some envoys and a couple ants? The middle bit definitely has some areas you need to be careful using it in, but with a little care you should still be fine. Elphael you shouldn't have any issues at all unless you're an idiot, and even then there are plenty of other game areas with much more tenuous dropoffs.

Yeah, I see a lot of people using it. Can't blame though; its weapon art is awesome.

No. You will have to change weapons. Some end-game bosses require that.Or summon help.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You can play through the game with bhf only, even through NG+

What are you talking about. I beat Haligtree easily with the BHF. You don't have to use the weapon art where you could easily fall down. Its normal attacks are strong as well.

I was at the Red Wolf of Radagon in my first playthrough and he beat my ass. Until then I still used my starting gear and levelt it up 3 times or so, totally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gear. I lost over and over and then looked what kind of stuff I already collected so far and found the BHF in my inventory.
Beat his ass merciless then.
Don't believe anyone her you can't finish the game with that weapon. It's perfectly possible, even without spirit ashes. I used them in my first playthrough but wasn't satisfied, so beat the game without spirits and with just the bhf.

Of course you can. Other weapons make the endgame far easier though.

I remember getting it for the first time and it became my favorite weapon for quite awhile.
