Need a Hollowslayer Greatsword

[Arcos Of Black]

So, I was on the wiki, and I learned Sister Friede is weak to the Hollowslayer Greatsword (If that's not true, please tell me). Unfortunately, it would seem that I already used the Soul Of Rotted Greatwood to get Arstor's Spear, and I completely forgot I did it.

So if she is weak to it, I don't suppose anyone would be willing to part with one?

The Hollowslayer Sword will do 20% more damage than normal to her because she is Hollow. However that alone will not make the fight easier. In fact, depending on your stats, any number of weapons with the correct infusion would do just as much damage or more so.

Alright, well when I hear a boss is weak to a weapon, I seek to try that weapon. Though I was never too good with percents, I'm going to just guess that's going to be less damage than my +10 Ultra Greatsword.

She is also weak to lightning, bleed and dark. So you might want to use some resins, that seems like a better option than using a specific weapon which you probably don't have the stats for using it efficient.

Yeah, I saw she was weak to those too. I wanted to try the sword first, but it sounds like my current weapon is the best thing I've got.

Not too sure why I transposed the soul into Arstor's Spear. That will forever remain a mystery to me. Anyways, thanks for the info you guys. I appreciate it.

Just for the record, my Strength is 42 and my Dexterity 22. If you want to use that info to let me know if it would be more effective than the +10 UGS or less effective, I'd be thankful. Though I'm just going to assume it will be less effective.

Yeah, pretty much ANY heavy-infused UGS (Lothric Knight GS, GS, Cathedral Knight GS, Zweihander, Astora GS,) or other UGS (Fume, Black Knight GS, etc.) will win out in damage with those stats. As the above poster mentioned, your Dex is too low to make the most out of the Hollowslayer.

No, it's alright. It seemes the sword won't do any better than what I'm currently using.

Just make sure gael is alive for phase 3, not only he is a great punshing bag but he can also stagger the boss and isn't affected by her invisibility.

Already screwed that up. Gave up on her a while ago, then went into the Ringed City DLC, already killed the Demon Prince, now Gael can't join me now that I've returned to fight her.

Aw rip, he is one of my favorite npc summons because of the way he works, and it kinda balances out the b*llsh*t phase 2. But you should be able to beat that boss after learning her pattern. Anyway, best of luck to you.

Yup, thanks. As for Gael, I'm pretty sure his boss fight is going to be my absolute favorite in the series, from what I played of it.
