2 ricard's rapiers in Dark Souls 2, and more!

[Kawaku]

Hello. So you know that somewhere in the Dark Forest, in a place called the huntsman copse or something, you find the rapier of ricard in a chest. And when my boyfriend played the game he told me that he found two of them while fighting spiders. I looked on the wiki and indeed it's possible to get it in two places. So technically it's possible to get as much as you want.

First of all, Ricard is a prince and it's his own weapon, so only one is supposed to exist, and why is there even his weapon in dark souls 2 considering you kill him in dark souls 1 ? The game takes place thousands of years after, if it's still there, then it shouls be highly damaged and lying somewhere, not in a chest or in a spider ^^

I think it's a mistake from the developpers but I still wanna hear your theories about this, guys ;)

I believe there might be an explaination for this^^

Demonic Spiders that consume dragons need not follow all the rules of reality and logic, simple enough.

"An exquisitely decorated rapier.
Said to belong to a prince who appears in an ancient tale.
There are numerous variations of the story of the prince who wandered the lands and eventually became Undead.
The majority of these tales end in tragedy. but there are some exceptions."

Consider this: Drangleic and the events you play through are most certainly long after the events of DS1. The original prince ricard was kiilled by you, became famous and his legend was told throughout the lands. Thus his trademark weapon, ricard's rapier became a desirable and sought after weapon for the nobility (of Astora?). In the days of Drangleic this weapon was most likely used by tseldora nobility, which were transformed into spiders/spider hosts by the duke.

It might be possible that brightstone Cave was part of Tseldora which itself might have been formerly Astora.

Just a theory, but I think it sounds reasonable.

He actually had it patented and mass produced them.

simple....people saw it and made several copies of it, and by that i mean, EVERY richard's rappier you find in the game is actualy a copy ot the original, present in DS1.

And all the zweihänders you get from spiders are relics from all the GiantDad builds from DS1.

Those Rapiers could be cheap knock-offs. Maybe that explains why they break so easily.

A lot of unique weapons could be cheap knock-offs if you saw them in Dark Souls as well. Avelyn is one of them.

That would explain the alternative appearance.
