It's been alleviated some in the PS5 remake, but the methods for healing in Demon's Souls is one difference that some fans are thankful has evolved in the games released since. It didn't feature the rechargeable healing flasks introduced as Estus in Dark Souls , rather, they were Moon Grass items that had to be found or bou   The Watchdog's Greatsword is a unique-looking Colossal Greatsword that resembles a lump of stone, and although it is not the best in its class, it is still a compelling option for fans of Strength builds. Although this sword doesn't possess the lowest drop rate, which is 8%, its rarity comes from the fact that only a handful of enemies have a chance to drop it, making the process of farming it quite difficult. On top of their scarcity, these enemies are also very tough and deal a lot of damage, and it is advisable that players use lighting, or strike damage weapons, as they are the most effective at staggering t   The fourth King's Field installment really leans into the grimdark aesthetics that would come to typify the Souls series. It's ending, which takes place in the deepest, most corrupted pit of the Land of Disaster, is the best example of this. The boss is also a writhing mass of tentacles that only barely resembles a human, something which calls to mind the equally strange One Reborn from Bloodbor   Demon's Souls offers multiple approaches to how players can tackle classes and combat as well, but Elden Ring expectedly deepened this aspect of the game. Given the latter's particular acclaim, it likely won't be long before Elden Ring goes down as one of the best modern fantasy RPGs for many f   The 2015 PlayStation 4 exclusive title Bloodborne was, at the time, FromSoftware's most imaginative and uncompromising effort, and it marked at least a slight departure from the Dark Souls series. Abandoning the overt fantasy elements of its predecessors, Bloodborne instead takes place in the Victorian-inspired city of Yharnam and draws almost directly from Lovecraftian l   These broken weapons are absolute jokes, with appalling stats. While the Straight Sword can be used to make more powerful weapons, it's basically trash on its own. This has made challenge runs with only the starting equipment one of the most popular in the series. It's a joke the players play on themselves, but it's still great at giving them the challenge they cr   Earlier this year, Elden Ring was released, which was the latest game by FromSoftware , a developer known for their Dark Souls series of action-adventure games. These games had a brutal difficulty and style all their own, which lead to the creation of the "Soulsborne" term to describe them. FromSoftware itself has made seven titles that can be classified this way, all known for being hard to compl   The Celebrant weapons consist of the Skull, a Great Hammer, the Sickle, a Dagger, the Cleaver, an Ax, and the Rib-Rake, a Spear. What binds these weapons together in one category is their meager drop rate of 0.5% and their unique passive that rewards players with runes upon landing an attack. This passive varies slightly between each weapon, but upgrading them does not increase the number of runes that players get per hit, which may incentivize some players to keep them at their lowest level to farm more runes per enemy in Elden Ring maps Ring . Out of the four weapons, the Celebrant's Skull rewards the most runes per hit, giving players 20 instead of 10. However, the Skull is also the slowest weapon, and players that wish to use these to farm runes may benefit more from the Sickle, as it is the fastest, and its passive does not have a cooldown, unlike the Rib-R   Though the original game was FromSoftware's first venture into the Souls-like subgenre, Bluepoint Games' Demon's Souls remake for the PlayStation 5 is a great modernized version. The game puts the players in the role of a customizable hero sent to the desolate kingdom of Boletaria to kill its corrupted king and defeat the ancient demonic entity known as the Old One to save the land from a suffocating Deep   These swords are two of the most elusive armaments in the game, as they sport a drop rate of just 0.5%. Although they are not necessarily in contention for the best weapons in Elden Ring , they have a particularly unique look, as both are fully coated in gold. The Noble's Slender Sword is a variant of the Straight Sword and possesses the same characteristics. However, unlike the Noble's Estoc , which is almost always outclassed by the regular Estoc, the Noble's Slender Sword has a slight edge over its competition. It sports the longest range out of all other Straight Swords, which can be very useful to catch opponents in PvP or keep enemies at bay in   It's a standard and reliable mix for those that want to use the Flask of Wondrous Physick as auxiliary healing consumable. For a few minutes, this combo will heal players for 50 percent of their max HP and provide a healing charge if an attack takes players down 20 percent or less of their health for a potentially instant second chance at l
