Beginner Weapon Guide?

[Owen]

I played a lot of DS2 and am only just about to start DS1 and I was wondering about good all round weapons similar to mace for early game in DS2 and Claymore at mid game. What are they if any in DS1 and how would I get them?

Almost everything is viable. Go through the game blind and stay with something you like.

[Penetrator]

drake sword. buy some arrows(around 25). go under the bridge near hellkite drake and fire at its tail. does 200dmg which is quite useful early game.

[firestarter]

claymore: found on the bridge in front of the hellkite drake in the undead burg, early game

man-serpent great sword (best str scalling great sword)/flemberg: sen's fortress enemy drop, early/mid (high dex scalling great sword, inflicts bleed)

mace: cleric starting wep, i think it can be baught of off either the black smith or undead merchant of undead burg/parish(i might be wrong iv never really used the mace much.), early

morning star: under the elevator shaft at firelink shrine (much like mace, lower damage, inflicts bleed) early

club(very good str scalling)/reinforced club(higher base damage than club, much lower scalling, inflicts bleed): undead merchant. early

Don't use the Drake Sword. Makes early game too easy and then you get to mid-game and have no decent weapon.

Longsword/ Shortsword are both good. Claymore is available fairly early but getting it is dangerous.

Every standard weapon in Dark Souls is good. The only one that has an actual upgrade is the Scimitar, where the Falchion is just plain superior with exactly the same moveset.

Don't teach players bad habits early game!

This playthrough I killed the black knight in Undead Burg and got the his sword early and upgraded it quickly. It's awesome and is capable of being used right to the end of the gam.e

Uchigatana if you go dexterity! <3

Or the Estoc!

[svatem1]

yeah, that's the really OP starting weapon, since you can have it +4 extremely early

If you have stats and enough luck to drop it from the first black knight. Black knight weapons are very powerful especially against demons, they have very cool moveset, but the only real trouble is for them to drop.

Which is not that big a deal. I mean you can reach that part in 12 min straight from the beginning of the game, so trial and error is viable....if you are patient XD

Dude this thread is from 2015 actually almost 2014 I dont think he needs help anymore

The zweihander is absolutely amazing for pve once you get the stats for it. I highly recommend it. It's only a problem on extra punishing bosses like Smough and Ornstein. If I remember correctly you get it around the graveyard.
