Good weapon to enhance early game?

Don't know how early it is, but I'm liking the big two handed swords (e.g. zweihander), especially once you get the blood code that has a passive to boost the damage. And you aren't moving at a slow speed.

If you give Yakumo 50 points worth of trading valuables you can get a good 2h sword from him. That's what I'm using now, along with a lightweight blood veil so I can have "normal" speed instead of "slow".

The Zweihander that Bobo mentioned is one of, if not the most, popular weapons in the game. It has solid damage but mostly it can achieve an easy early 100% block rate if you have difficulty dodging. Unless you're strictly looking for a higher raw dmg option, which really isn't that big of a jump until the final best 2h sword, this one will last you the entire game. If you end up liking 2h swords then the Argent Wolf King (or w/e name was) from the end game boss portion will be your goal. High dmg and it actually hits twice on its strong attack (shoots a strong projectile) and swings decently fast. The one Yakumo has is a good raw dmg option, second to the final boss 2h sword but can be gotten far earlier if you gift Yakumo enough junk.

For 1h swords the Argent Wolf 1h sword (again forget exact name, slightly different name from the 2h version) is a solid option with good reach and dmg. I play at exclusively level 1 so the Sunlight Sword is what I use so I'm not 100% on the very best 1h options off top of my head but I'm sure Google can solidify your query (might be jack's weapon you trade for?).

Idk about other weapons as I don't really use them and forgot.

Overall, don't stress too much because you can get plenty of upgrade materials and buy them from the shop as you progress so you can readily max everything. The final upgrade material can be farmed indefinitely, unlike Dark Souls/Elden Ring, and very conveniently in a sub 1 min run with two guaranteed to drop from the boss you can 1-shot with an easy setup late game in one of the depths. Same boss also gives the final awaken item and good haze.

Buffs matter the most, though, so be ready to spam stack buffs.

1h Sword:
Enduring Crimson (Louis's weapon), Argent Wolf Blade
2h Sword:
Zweihander, Oni Bane (Yakumo's weapon)
Spear/Halberd: Impaler (I believe this is one of 2 best spears in this game)
I'm not recommend using Hammer/Axe because it's not so good when compare to 2h sword.

Impaler carried me through 3/4 of the game.

Eh, tbh, all the weapons are viable, just gotta know what to do with 'em. You can clear the game relying on nothing but the Queenslayer Sword.

But, overall...
One-Handed Swords: Either get Argent Wolf Blade or Enduring Crimson from Louis.
Two-Handed Swords: Oni Bane from Yakumo.
Hammer: Juggernaut Hammer from Oliver. (Hammers are inferior to 2H most of the time, until you get the Gift that causes all slam attacks to emit stunning shockwaves at which point only the Argent Wolf King's Blade competes against mobs.)
Spear: Impaler. Assassin's Scythe also isn't bad, due to the fact that like 2/3rds of the enemies in the game are weak to Ice.
Bayonet: Brodiea from Mia.

I use the "Obliterator Axe" u get it from the first Boss in the Cathetrale. Good scaling.

2handed greatsword is absurd in this game
