[@mikeskrotamich3797]

the watchdog sword doesnt get covered in earth from swinging. the cragblade weapon art is doing that

[@nickjordan7671]

Finally someone says it

[@ThePandarian]

He never said that it was the weapon art he just said it’s a good weapon art for the weapon. He literally says a good “alternative” weapon art before showing it off. Maybe y’all need to listen with your ears and not your asshole :)

[@TheWoWisok]

It's like this guy actually hasn't played the game and he's just explaining what he sees in the video if you look at the weapon art for the Crag blade it coats it in Earth and increases its damage but I think about 10%. Yeah the weapon art can hit the enemy but just barely cuz it's a tiny attack and not for much damage and using it to try to dodge an attack is completely pointless you're better off just rolling and then attacking the enemy instead of using it as a Dodge

[@Tcrror]

He said "I prefer the Cragblade Ash of War".. I think he knew it was an Ash of War.

[@deskslam4232]

@@Tcrror Yeah, this commenter is just being a bit ignorant to get attention.

[@Syrius_Li]

Something worth mentioning, the halo scythe can also be farmed in the same area as the cleanrot spear. So you might as well kill the ones with the scythe while farming the spear

[@rob215x]

I LOVE the Halo Scythe

[@kylehedrick9653]

Yeah. I wanted the Halo Sycthe for the weapon art...just hours and hours of Cleanrot armor pieces, and 3 Cleanrot spears

[@Syrius_Li]

@@kylehedrick9653 I recommend the silver scarab which can be found in the haligtree dungeon

[@jahrfuhlnehm]

I don't know what the drop rate is but I will say that it took me much, much longer to get a Halo Scythe drop than a Spear. And yes the Halo Scythe is cool, perfect to power stance with the Winged Scythe for double holy scythe good times

[@artkeyos8027]

got a Halo Scythe from first two knights there, I didn't notice it even because I was in panic mode :D

[@rhynlock11]

the cleanrot spear is easier to farm from the knight outside the prayer room in the Haligtree. its just a couple of steps away from the site of grace and drops quite a lot more runes so you can rune farm at the same time

[@acrustykrab]

Are u sure it drops there?

[@lonm2m]

That's where I got it

[@masterofsorrow2699]

@@acrustykrab yup, and the set pieces too.

[@matthewglover8804]

Good thing I just reached the haglitree lastnight in ng1. Looks like I know what I'm farming after work today 😄

[@MinerDiner]

well, by the time you're at the haligtree killing one single enemy for runes won't do you much in a short time. You'll farm more runes just by wiping out the first small area of Elphael

[@chrisrobertson1443]

FYI, the caravan you suggested farming for the noble's slender sword is the same place I farmed the noble's estoc, so you can stick to the one location to get both and hopefully save some time. That's what I did and it only took me 3 or 4 hours to get two of each (because dual-wielding is great)

[@lythairyn]

The exact reverse can also be said. Farming the location for the Noble Estoc can reward you with the Noble Slender Sword. I personally was only after 1 Noble Estoc since I already had 1. I found farming the Noble Estoc location since its only 3 enemies made it quicker than dealing with the caravan. Fewer enemies made for faster kills/loot/respawn. I ended up finding 7 Noble Slender Swords, which I already had 2 of before finally getting the Noble Estoc I was ultimately after to drop. Go figure.

[@TFatSon]

I got it randomly

[@Muchinoi]

@@lythairyn Late response, but I just farmed several hours and got 5 estocs before a single slender sword. Ended up leaving and going to liurnia for the slender swords and got two of them in like 10 minutes. Thanks miyazaki.

I have noble slender swords in all 6 slots, still can’t find the damn estoc

I got the golem halbard from testing out meteroite of astel at the dectus lift, you can practicly get it off any golem with a halberd

[@tommydevine9993]

Yep, that's one of the many locations where I got one of these halberds. I was farming for the golem greatbow there and got probably 3 or so halberds in the process (the lift has a halberd and greatbow golem by it in close proximity to a SoG, making it a solid farming spot for both weapons)

[@joshuajudd7687]

For the Golem's Halberd spot, the one shooting arrows will actually damage and knock down the golems using halberds, so you can definitely use that to your advantage if you're a bit underlevelled.

[@FTR0225]

Another tip for farming: use Marika's Scarseal or Soreseal, it boosts arcane, therefore it boosts discovery as well

[@pirat1488]

also silver scarab raises item discovery by 75

[@nerderogoty]

I never thought of that

[@nerderogoty]

​@@pirat1488 you could use both

"Discovery" does not increase runes gained, only amount of items found and dropped. Correct me if i am wrong, so i can farm better

[@derpyduck5207]

I'm extremely surprised that the Celebrant's Sickle wasn't on this list, it's just as rare as the Rib-Rake and by FAR the weapon that took me the longest to farm

[@chrisbitt9870]

The, WHAT X))

[@goofywarriorguy2439]

@@chrisbitt9870 There are actually 4 Celebrant weapons. The Skull is a Great Hammer and comes from a corpse on a cliff in that area. The Cleaver (Axe), Sickle (dagger) and Rib-Rake (Spear) all drop from those Celebrants. All of these weapons grant Runes on each successful hit. The Skull grant 20 Runes per hit, all the others grant 10 per hit. This number does not change with stats or leveling up the weapon. The Rib-Rake is actually the most common drop because more of them in the area wield it, even though they are all a 0.5% drop chance.

There's a spot in caelid that has a bunch of nobles with the sword that can drop it with no enemies other than a giant that doesn't respawn after you kill it by a graveyard. I don't remember the graces name but it's right behind the Ezekiel white dragon close to the cliff

[@tsohgallik]

That's good place for these Nobles. In Raya Lucaria castle but in the courtyard, it's just that there's also 3 scholars ready to fling spells at you, those damn Glintstone Spells

[@GriffGriffin]

NEW VIDEO: this could be the rarest sword in the whole game 🗡 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnOupZaaetiel7c

[@AsyrusWasTaken]

I think one weapon which also deserves to be on this is the Envoy's Greathorn. It has a 2% Dropchance and can only be farmed by killing the Giant Oracle Envoy in Miquella's Haligtree... which just oneshots you if he hits you correctly. Also every single one of them is either protected by scarlet rot flowers, ants which oneshot you or multiple smaller Oracle Envoys which also do high damage. So yeah, have fun farming for that if you are interested lmao

[@AsyrusWasTaken]

@@ChrisBean-wy9us If you farm New Game +0 yeah, if you are on New Game +5 like I was to that time then definitely no, they just destroy ur ass. I still have the same build and I had 70-80 vigor and a mid-heavy armor

Well done , that’s some achievement. I live this game. Playing with two friends , at over 200 gaming hours. The hours add up quickly when you are fighting each boss 3 times. Only at about 35% of trophies , so a bit to go! Which is great , as I enjoy it so much.

[@techorix]

My favorite place for farming clean rott stuff is actually the hidden grave in the field you fight Radaan in. The ghosts fight themselves and the clean rot knights actually drop something. From Trina's lily to swords, spears and the whole armor set. It's also a fun place. I kind of have the impression the complete clean rot set does not trigger rot build up when you roll in rot with it

[@BrokenNoah]

I didn't know the Golem Greatbow to be a rare weapon. I just normally went to the giant jar, died a few times, and got it eventually. Same with the Thorned Wip. I already have most of these. Only ones I missed are the Watchdog, Slender Sword, and Rib Rake.

[@dynactin8908]

The Warhawk's Talon from the birds near Rampart Tower in Stormveil Castle has a ~2% drop rate. It's a straight sword with a unique R2 with good stagger, short recovery, and decent range (for the weapon class). Actually a pretty solid weapon overall if you're willing to deal with the straight sword range since the R2 enables getting in and out quickly.

[@sumed6668]

I have 2 of those and I'm on ng+

[@Nek-oski]

Im currently running second character and it randomly dropped from the first bird i fought in the castle, i was like - Huh.. So it drops something like this? I just now realize i got pretty lucky lol

You are guaranteed to get one from the bird next to the banished knight in the same castle with the other birds.

Good video mate. You might've could've mentioned leveling up the Arcane stat to increase chances but I do appreciate the drop percentages info. Thumbs up 👍

[@ColorAgent]

Dunno if he 'forgot' exactly. I have 2 of every weapon in the game and never needed to go annoyingly change my stats just for better drop chances. the talisman and the helm, with sometimes using the foot made it plenty easy already.

[@NiraSader]

I would add the Envoy´s greathorn, that one was the most tedious farming session I had beside the imp elder headpiece. Rare drop from the giant envoys of which there´s like 2 or 3 in the whole game, in the Haligtree of all places.

[@darkmelusina8388]

I got it first time, didn't even know that it was rare. The irony is that I didn't want that version but the medium one 😑 I ended up farming for an hour before I could get one 🤣 That's stupid

Something kinda funny, I actually got an Envoy's Greathorn completely on accident/unintentionally on my first Large Oracle kill at the Haligtree, or in Leyndell.

[@aggrostomp941]

Really appreciate videos like this. I've farmed the cleanrot knights for their set so it was awesome I got all their weapons but great to know there's plenty more out there Ive missed or haven't even used yet

[@tommydevine9993]

I'm surprised the Monk's Flameblade didn't make the list. The wiki lists it as having a 4% drop rate, but after hours of farming for it, I never managed to get one to drop. Add that it's only farmable from one enemy in one location (Giant-Conquering Hero's Grave where you get the Watchdog Greatsword), and it makes the grind so much worse.

[@abigcupofwater]

This is on the surprisingly long list of things I picked up in my first playthrough and had no idea how rare it was

[@kairicyonzan1174]

I think it's basically the rarest weapon in the game not because of it's drop rate but from the hassle one has to go through to get it .

I got mine from the graveyard right outside one of the churches in weeping peninsula. Pretty quick farm there, usually ~ 30-45 minute to get 2.

[@Rickseriastar]

Ahh the magma blades. I farmed for a dual pair for about 2 hours. I got em both for my fire spellblade type build (mostly str and faith with the blasphemous blade as my other main weapon of use). With all the item discovery boosts, it wasn't tooooo bad. And it's a fast route. Definitely worth picking up if you like curved swords and fire!

[@LispyJesus]

The first lizard I saw weilding one dropped it for me. I just thought it was one of those everyone gets for killing that specific enemy.

[@blackeyedturtle]

Thanks for producing and posting this guide. I am pretty sure the drop rates on the Noble's Slender Sword & Estoc have vastly improved. I have 3 Slender Swords & an Estoc in my inventory and have never farmed for them. The Estoc & Sword drop from the entourage, following the caravan that goes by on the road after exiting the Wayward Ruins Site of Grace. The sword is also a fairly common drop from the patrol group to the north of Church of Vows. PS: For me the rarest weapon I have obtained is the Forked Greatsword, which stands a rare drop chance from any Stone Imp wielding it. I have Poisonous Mist AoW on mine and love it.

[@narutoandbleachrules]

The noble estoc was the first weapon to drop for me on my first playthrough. I was super excited to not have to use the club anymore(i was a wretch), had no idea it was so rare.

[@NordicVigilante]

I used it a lot on my blood build first playthrough I added a blood art to it, I think the one from Haights castle

[@InfinityOrNone]

The *real* cool thing about the Watchdog's Greatsword is that it's one of those weapons that becomes a hard dex weapon with Lightning infusion, which is actually harder scaling than with Keen. It gets D/B scaling if you go Keen but E/B scaling with Lightning, and it's the only colossal sword with this quirk. The only other weapon with the same quirky Lightning scaling that I know of is the Gargoyle's Great Axe, and how often do you see people running that thing?

[@cinimini4854]

If this is true, thank you very much. I just might've found two new dex weapons to try out.

[@tajbastaj3695]

This is a very perfect Video , thanks !!! I miss only 3 of that ,But now i can finde it 👌 .

[@StephenSpencer1972]

Wrt the noble slender sword: cool. I had no idea it was anything other than a variation of the normal gear dropped near the gate in Lyngrave. I had decided that was a decent place to use as a sparring ground for figuring out the parry and dodge mechanics. Not sure how many rounds I went there (probably 150-200) but I did end up with that sword and even that cool looking great shield the captain carries.

[@BenignAndaHalf]

I spent 2 days going after the magma blade and whip from those 3 man-serpents with no luck, then I looked up some things. First, you can only get the magma whip from a Volcano Manner contract. Secondly, I didn’t have the silver scarab, so once I got it, I scored 3 magma blades in less than 10 minutes.

[@mickeysantos8846]

Just level up and progess normally. The higher the level the more drops will follow

[@AlejandroHernandez-zi5qt]

The lizards also drops the whip

[@danielkimmey5115]

Is the magma blade the same one you pick up off the body on the way up through the area with singing bats

[@LonePear]

Damn. I didn't know that about the whip. I worked that one lizard into my farming run for the magma sword. Haven't got the whip yet. Thankfully I got 2 of the swords (was fairly high arcane and using all those boosting items) in about an hour. Great to use with a faith build. Crazy Damage.

[@CatsLeMatts]

Thorned whip is good, I use it on my Pyromancer build for flavor. I believe its (slightly) inferior to Hoslow's in every way but Weight & Stat Requirements for any build, however. It's higher base AR helps close the gap despite the scaling difference. Even at 80 Dex & 20 Str, the Thorned Whip & Hoslows are tied. Before that I believe Hoslow's is always a bit stronger. Thorned whip is nice in that it's much easier to slot into a build BECAUSE of it's lower Stat requirements & weight. Urumi & Giant's Red Braid are dope too but those are more for DEX & STR/FTH builds respectively so its harder to compare.

[@memogaming5383]

Noble Slender Sword was one of my first weapons in Elden Ring and I used it for so long, I loved it

[@godspeedazul7216]

I got the nobles estoc in under 30 minutes. I wore a mixture of astrologers, sage and theif set and used the moonveil katana. Also used some silver pickled foot. With playing demon souls PS5 i realized this mechanic in fromsoft games that if you equip anything theif or magic related as well as using a magic imbued weapon, your chances of securing rare items and weapons is higher.

[@KMDRG]

There's a golem that spawns near where you get the Arrow's Reach talisman that also drops the Golem Halbert. It's by itself and the Stormhill Shack site of grace is nearby making it a bit easier to farm than fighting 3 golems at once, though the archer golem here is the earliest one that can drop the Golem Greatbow.

[@serpentine5951]

There is also 2 in the mountaintops of the giants next to a site of grace, there isn’t an archer and you can take them one at a time, this route is how I got 2 golem halberds

[@surewolf]

I got a nobles stock by accident when farming for the nobles slender sword which I was farming for 2 to dual wield. I know there are better options but I like how these slender swords look and they’re not my main swords ( I run a faith build so it makes better sense for me to dual wield a Blasphemous blade with a Golden Order Greatsword ) The slender sword don’t have any special traits that makes it of great use for faith builds as I said I only like how they look but I infuse them to make them faith scaling so they do a little more damage.

[@Grevane16]

I actually have found 3 of the Noble Slender Swords, but never once seen the Noble Estoc. Somehow my luck only goes one way apparently.

[@nova9731]

Noble slender sword actually has the longest range of the straight sword class :)

[@avitusthracius6630]

Golems halberd could be dropped by any golem holding one, the golems surprisingly drop one a lot for me. there's a lot i could say about the weapons, one weapon im surprised people dont usually talk about is the Stone Club, not sure if thats a guaranteed drop by the sorcerrer in the haligtree or not, but another weapon i didnt even know could be dropped was the greathorn hammer from Nokron. i hope there's an update or something that makes the rest of the enemy weapons obtainable, like the avionettes halberd/scythe, and their curved sword, the gravity stone miners pickaxe, grave skeleton's spear, and the sun realm skeletons sword

There are skels with kusarigamas, and it makes me so unendingly furious that they can not drop them for me.

interesting tip with farming the golem's weapons, do it at tower bridge with the 3 golems, they're attacks can friendly fire at each other, so you while you're tying to take 1 down, you can also bait the other 2 to friendly fire the golem you're killing by positioning it between you and the other 2 as their attacks can stun each other, opening a crit for you to deal

Your should have done the monks flameblade, only one specific mob drops it in the entire game even though multiple mobs hold it, and it also has a incredibly low drop chance on top of that

[@tommydevine9993]

@@djvoid6194 this exactly. I mentioned the same weapon in a separate post. Hours to farm for it, and I still never managed to get one to drop. Supposedly a 4% drop rate, but my luck has definitely been worse than that lol

[@tommydevine9993]

Envoy's Greathorn is another pain in the butt weapon that's exceedingly rare and annoying to get. Only drops from the huge envoys (giant snowman looking guys) who are not only uncommon but also annoying to fight. The wiki lists it as a 2% drop rate, but with the addition of how annoying they are to farm, makes that drop rate feel so much lower than that even...

[@bretkent2369]

Lazuli Glintstone Sword is also rare, I read about people farming it for 4+ hours with no deop when I played my first hybrid int character. I got lucky and it dropped on my 4th run. I haven't been that lucky with other weapons... I did get a noble slender sword when I started my first character, and sold it for 100g to help me level up to level 15 thinking it was junk. Oops.

[@Bender789456123]

@@djvoid6194 every single flamemonk that holds it can drop that shit... in my 1st playthrough I got it on my first flamemonk kill in liurnia lake near the poison lake

[@chimpanzzzgamer]

Magma blade was the most difficult to get for me.. Noble slender sword dropped pretty fast, but this one took a lot of time, because you have to run so much and if you fast travel back to the grace you have to use the silver pickled foot everytime.. I still have to farm the weapons from dominula village. Can you do a video on rarest armors tOO?

[@why1638]

8:15 bait the golems into hitting each other friendly fire is enabled, they get stunned after 2 greatbow shots and melee guys deal a lot of dmg

[@maniacalmurderer4123]

There is one weapon your forgetting about (well actually it’s a staff but it’s in the weapon section of your inventory) It’s called the “staff of the guilty” it’s droprate is as low as most other 5% chance weapons and you can only get it from the blood thorn enemies like the flaming branch ladies typically around the flame monks. It’s special buff is all blood thorn attacks do more damage.

[@itsdurty1795]

That's a 100% drop from one specific npc by the first fire monk camp in lyurnia of the lakes on the right side of the lake

[@thelibrary4833]

@@itsdurty1795 You're thinking of the Briars of Sin spell.

[@jovanpetrovich9359]

oh thats rare? got like 6 of them just trying to get around the flame monk camp in icelands

[@jeanyoung2247]

The golem bow is so nice, 99str and you’re easily taking out enemies, even at later new games

[@thekillers1stfan]

Just got the Nobles estoc yesterday. I have to say the biggest reason to use it is that it is probably the best looking dex weapon in the game. Even the scabbard is gorgeous

[@l1zard7]

lol i got the Noble Slender Sword on my first play through and was wondering why it didn't drop in any of the other runs any more. Well that certainly explains that. Thanks for the clarification.

[@scaryhours2220]

I think that EVERYONE is sleeping on Rogers Rapier. That weapon has beasted me through 90 percent of the game and stun locks Malenia into full submission with the R2 alone.

[@miguellorenzobuena9057]

I remember the Golem's halberd. When I fought my first ever golem (It was the one Limgrave where you take a left instead of right at the gatefront ruins) and killed it I got the weapon first try. Although I couldn't even wield it at that point.

[@annoyinguslessinfoacountsp3815]

I’m getting that last spear!! I’m using a holy confessor build and is goin after all the weapons n cosmetics that hype it up. This my first real play thru n I’m obsessed

[@reaperofthings]

4:30 I managed to get like, 5-6 just trying to get the Kaiden armour set from the Kaiden’s nearby. I still don’t have the full Kaiden armour set and got bored so I stopped. The Noble’s Slender Sword does sell for a 1000 runes though, so it’s a pretty good grinding route early game for players with good Arcane.

[@tekaid23]

You missed the Celebrant's Sickle (0.5% drop rate). You can farm it from the village when you farm the Rib Rake (there's a couple of villagers holding it, they have the blue headdress). It gives passive ruin gain on hit so can be useful early on. Best not to upgrade it as the more times you hit the more ruins you get.

[@matthewbisaha6751]

The Golem Halberd actually can drop from the collapsed golem just past the stormgate where the troll jumps down from above.

[@takumifujiwaru197]

I actually got the noble slender sword my first run through, Im glad I have a nice collective piece in my arsenal. But where I got my sword was killing the nobles in Raya Lucaria Academy and yes they looked just like that image you showed with them holding the sword, the funny thing was I was actually like farming their outfits cuz I was collecting everyone's armor set or clothing.

[@RetroBean]

This is really interesting to find out! In my playthrough I got the noble slender sword and I did not know it was that rare! Now I know to give it more love.

[@jad1920]

You can also boost your discovery with marika seals The soreseal preferably and godrick great rune. I run an arcane of 70 with mimic helm, silver scarab and making silver fowl feat I get like 313 doscovery. Helps especially for those pesky 1 % drops

[@fobbitoperator3620]

Got the Golem's Halberd 1st try. Thanks for this great video!

[@digiphonix03]

The Golem Bow can be taken after slaying the Golem Archer on the Dectus Lift on Altus Plateau as well as the Golem Halberg

[@expressvpn8433]

That’s crazy I got the slender sword within my first day of playing on my play through lol

[@ZoeBateman]

That cleanrot spear took so damn long to farm. I also started from the heart of aeonia, but farmed the one to the southeast, over the rotted wall-thing and just out from the "beach". No other enemies as distractions, also handy for farming the armor set as it was for my cleanrot knight build. Just a shame that holy damage is the worst damage type in the game considering the demigods, remembrance bosses and mandatory bosses are pretty much all resistant to holy. Also had no idea the Noble Slender Sword and Golem Weapons were so rare, somehow I was lucky and they dropped from the first time I fought the enemies you get them from on my very first run!

[@Darksaige]

I ended up getting 3 of the flame daggers in about 4 hours and never got a single rake in a 3 hour farm. And i used quite a few arcane boosters (helmet, talisman and a alburnuric crescent staff in the off hand)

[@blakebroacher9509]

Something that you missed on the halberd, there's one in the mountaintop of the giants below the frozen lake, that's where I got mine by accident. I do think it's all golems that respawn that have the spawn chance but it might be each one total.

[@DarksteelHeart]

Hey, I found the Golem Greatbow on my first run! Granted I was an arcane/faith build before the first patch, so that probably helped.

[@zackphy]

The giant slayers grave from that first weapon also has a fire monk that has a 6ish percent chance to drop his weapon as well and it's not far from the cat guy so you can actually do both farms at once.

[@ts25679]

A commenter on a Fextralife build guide suggested farming nobles slender sword from a grave site south of caelid southern highway site of grace. That's were I got mine in ~30mins just watch out for the noble closest to the cliff side who transforms into a troll.

[@vladtheinhaler9744]

i got super lucky on my first playthrough and got the lava blade after 20 minutes. really rounded out that strength/faith fire build

[@SavageGreywolf]

I got Noble's Slender Sword just casually running about. I even considered using it after I looked at it, but I'm on a greatsword-and-bord quality build.

[@danieldesiata5560]

I literally just got the nobles slender sword today, on my first play through of the game still, at Raya Lucaria academy from a torch dude near the wheel lift or the guy before him, no farming.

[@StormWolf1337]

I got the Noble's slender sword on my first encounter with that caravan, just forgot about it in my inventory for ages since it was kinda weak :D

[@BTrill2100]

Whats the sword your using to farm with all those slashes ?

[@lennycuellar]

I happened to get that golem bow on my first attempt. That with a bunch of other rares left my friend very envious 😅

[@ohgoshtro]

The noble slender sword was a pain. Took me 3 days to grind one, then a second one dropped after I farmed the next patch to lvl up cause i was 3k away. Oddly enough the troll caravan to get the noble slender sword is where I got the noble estoc.

[@LMBarv]

I got the noble's slender sword in 6 minutes, 27 seconds. Don't know how, but I'm not complaining. Other fun things to point out, it's got the same general attributes as the lordsworn's straight sword, except it's longer, and generally more Dex friendly. Plus, it does plenty of stagger damage with Square Off. You don't need more than 2 or 3 to stagger anything with that sword. Adding the long reach with the right build, and it does pretty solid damage. That said, yeah it's not the kind of sword that excellent in raw damage end game, but it is pretty fun early in the game

[@hiddengoya]

I actually picked up 2 golem greatbows in one go by accident. I dont use the bows so i sold them :) Same with the Noble's Slender Sword but i kept :)

[@rcscout759]

I actually farmed the cleanrot spear at the church in the haligtree as it’s just a quick walk after killing the knight right outside of it

[@wyatthess6300]

Literally got the noble’s slender sword my second try on the caravan at 40 arcane. Thanks!

[@Diresilence]

I acually got the estoc and didn't even know it was that rare. The golem one i'm farming now, as I am a strength build, and love the look of it

[@mfallen6894]

Magma is the hardest weapon grind in the game. It took me about 7hr, and based on the souls I'd obtained it was about 410 kills to get a pair of them. Noble's took me 45min to get a pair (but you can restart a run quicker than at Volcano Manner and there are 5-6 enemies that can drop it as opposed to the two for the Magma Blade). Pair of Beastman Cleaver's was about an hour. Pair of Guardian Swordspear's was about 30min. Thorned Whip too about an hour for two of them. Cleanrot Spear was pretty easy since I was farming for the armor as well. Maybe 90min to get every armor piece, 2 spears, 2 halo scythes, and like 4 of the rapiers. The Magma was insane though, and those are the only two I've ever gotten to drop. Farmed it for at least an hour on my other 3 characters and never got it. I think it's actually a 0.5% or is bugged

[@eternalsummer8409]

One of my first runs I used that’s watchdogs sword as a tribute to the watchdogs of farron, thinking it was gunna be average, was a bloody amazing weapon

[@78proto]

Not sure if things have changed in-game or not since this video was uploaded, but the Magma Blade just dropped on the 3rd kill for me. Can't wait to give it a try.

[@do0m819]

Got a magma blade today on my 2nd run through the manor, didnt realize it was so rare I might have to make a build around it now!

[@thegreatmoustachio]

The noble’s slender sword is actually pretty good for block counter based builds. It’s the longest straight sword, making block counters easier to pull off. Plus, it has a higher critical rating, making critical attacks deal extra damage. Block counters open enemies up for critical hits quickly, making it a pretty deadly combo. That said, if I were doing a block counter build, I’d probably use a greatsword rather than a straight sword. But if you’re running a block counter build and really want to use a straight sword, the nobles slender sword is probably your best option. That, or pick a straight sword with a better ash of war, like the sword of night and flame. I guess it comes down to preference and the stats you have.

[@nicox88956]

oh you can also get the golem greatbow at the first catacomb of the game, the one locked by the keys, that instakilling rider can be killed by shooting the string of some giant pots, it drops the greatbow
