Where are all the strength/radiance weapons?

[Atty]

How much longer till I find a strength/radiance scaling weapon? I am in Lower Calrath and I have still not found a single one. My damage is starting to really fall off a cliff because I have no weapon that scales well with my build. Am I just terrible at finding stuff or are there just none until the late game?

Something must be going on with the way you're looting and exploring, because str/rad is the second most common category of weapon, with str/agi being the first. Tons of weapons are str/rad. All of them scale primarily with rad over strength though, I'd recommend just getting the min str you need at all and then not leveling it anymore because you'll get more damage from rad, depending on which weapon you settle on.

u can rly get even the starting weapon to +3 or +5 and go ahead with it until u find somthing u like. I did all the first area after skyrest bridge and the swamp with it....honestly even the pilgrim key location but i cant reccomend it couse they are much higer lv

You can speed run through the bell key area and find a really strong str/rad grand sword there called Bloody Glory, thats what I used my first playthrough. Str/Rad is the most common build type atm, everyone is doing str/rad.

Isn't the Lightsaber, the weapon you get from the first real boss, like... one of the best weapons in the game?

It might be Pure radiance though... maybe

That is pure radiance.

It's pure rad, and it's not one of the best weapons in the game, it's not even particularly good. IT's just really accessible and people never move on to try anything else. You can also make it way stronger then it currently is by doing the Odd Stone memory, showing it to Pieta, doing an umbral playthrough, and getting Elienne's sword and then dual wielding Pieta and Elienne's sword, it unlocks a weapon art.

There's a solid radiance strength grand hammer in the bellkey path that you can take from the Bellroom vestige.

Too many radiance equips and too little rhogar equips.

[geryboy85]

then vendor sells one you can also find a couple in the world. with vendor I mean the radiance vendor with the don hat.

[Zordiark Darkeater]

50% of the weapons are Strengh and Radiance lool

"good" weapons start becoming accessible where you are at now if you are doing the "normal" route, aka not going the side-paths where significantly stronger enemies are at.
(frankly the game is quite large)
as some mentioned one of the best str/rad weapons is pretty close (Ravager's), it's basicaly right above Lydia's Vestage, but you will need to go around/unlock the shortcut.
do not however go for Pieta's sword; it's the usual reddit/steam/forum BS, and not a good weapon overall (looks cool thought) while costing you some of a very limited (initialy) ressource.
in the same area is also one of the best inferno 2handed swords and i do remember a good agi/str weapon aswell

Half the hammers and grand swords are STR/RAD. If you do a run through of the unlockable door by the bell room, you get 3 different STR/Rad weapons within 15 minutes.
The spear you get from the congregator of flesh scales well with both STR and RAD. Half of it's damage is whither damage, but it does a ton of it. It's first rune slot is STR and STR runes are better than RAD runes.

Has anyone tried the Hammer of Holy Agony? It seems like the Preacher hammer, but does bleed and scales better with STR.
