Weapons just stopped doing damage???

[ant4gonista]

I have like 32 strength and 15 dex (36 int) but my weapons causes only 20-30 damage per hit. (even tough the base damage is 100+)
It used to be normal before, out of the blue they stoped damaging.

*I tried every weapon, only the crystal halberd does a decent damage (200+).
*No, my weapons aren´t broken.
*I have enough stats to use them.
*I tried to hit many enemies and got the same results.
*I know it has no influence at all, but im using sorcerer armor.
*My only option is to play as a sorcerer, my magick does a lot of damage btw.

It sounds like a glitch, but im not really sure, hopefully its a in-game hidden curse.
Ds i luv u but you're making things hard for me.
Any fix, pls?

This might sounds like a stupid question but are you upgrading your weapons?

[ant4gonista]

Actually no, im not upgrading them.
I'll try to do this. Thanks for the answear.

You may have run out of weapon durability.
If your weapons break, their damage goes right down the drain, and you need to take them to a smith to get em fixed back up again.

Either this is a bug (that nobody else has heard of) or not. If not a bug then answer these questions. Do you have a repair box. Do you always repair your armor/weapons at the bonfires or drop by a blacksmith to have them repair it? Have you ever repaired them, is also worth asking.

Because the only reason for all your weapons stop doing damage is they broke.

Nah, weapons aren't broken, durability is on max. I repair them in the blacksmith and i never used a repair box.

Guys, I uploaded a video on Youtube where I show my stats and the damage. (Game is in PT-BR, but is understandable)

I did it. Got a +5 weapon, the damage is higher... but still don't work like they should.

Btw, I hit the Anor Londo blacksmith (he's agressive, but not dead) could be this?

I think you got a very rare bug. In thousands of hours playing DS1 I have heard only one single time about such a bug. I don't know any solution for it.
Already tried to verify the game files in steam ?
When this doesn't help, I would delete the save file, uninstall and reinstall the game and start over with a new char. I'm afraid you'll maybe get more game-breaking bugs when you continue with this char.

Yeah, i think it's a bug too. Sad, I was almost beating the game and spent many hours upgrading my char ;(
I tried to verify my files already and nothing happened.
But thx for your answer.

you're using un-upgraded versions of very low tier weapons on really beefy enemies.
also, attack type matters a little bit. you're using slashing weapons on plate armor.

the gargoyle halberd is fine, not suggesting you should switch, but 104 damage on a giant seems pretty reasonable. i always use swords so I hate those things.

you can get the ember for +10 upgrades if you go to the depths.

I don't THINK your game is bugged, the game is just really unclear on some mechanics. This is like the only point in the game where you're affected negatively by attack type

If you do end up restarting a new character, you should def buy the repair box and upgrade boxes. There's not reason not to have these on your journey.

Actually i find it very easy to just come back to the blacksmith since i have fast travel.
Before i could travel i was playing as a sorcerer, so i didn't need to reapair any weapon.
But thx for the tip, if i play as warrior next i'll buy them boxes

Thanks for sharing the video. I apologize for the late reply.

Why are you complaining about the damage? You killed the giant in a reasonable amount of time (could be faster but they love to use Heal). Your damages are a little low, but Appropriate for 30 STR, and a +5 Gargoyle halberd (they have three bonuses effects for equipping them).

You need to get to +10, or +15 to do better damage. If you don't want to do that then you must spend a lot of souls buying/farming lighting and fire effects. Many mobs are susceptible to lightning damage, and those few are probably weak to fire.

No bug. Just buggy expectations.
