I'm on my first playthrough and I find this game pretty difficult... I've just killed the Chaos Witch Quelaag and I'm heading to the Sen's Fortress. I'm only interested in PvE.
I'm looking for a better weapon than the Zweihander I'm using right now. It's a bit too slow for me, but most of all, it has C scaling for Str and I could do with something better. I have 27 Str right now, but I'm going to improve it.
So, what I'm looking for:
- at least B scaling for Str,
- faster than Zweihander,
- Str requirement not too much higher than 27.
I want to improve this weapon to +14/+15 and use it for the majority of my game. The candidates I've come up with are:
- Man-serpent Greatsword (I don't have it yet, but I can farm it if need be),
- Large Club (Same as above),
- Butcher Knife,
- Great Club.
They all have good scaling and they're all available to me. Could you give me your thoughts on these weapons? Or maybe suggest something else? I have little experience and I can't really compare them, so I'm asking for help.
Or maybe I should not invest in Str and ascend some weapon to Lightning or Fire?
