Can you beat Dark Souls 1 using a different boss weapon for every boss?

Dark Souls 1 has a lot of really cool boss weapons! But the real question is can you beat Dark Souls 1 using a different boss weapon for each boss? Also they're unupgraded and I'm not levelling health or stamina!

My favourite boss weapon of Dark Souls 1 is chaos zweihander. What I like about it, that you don't have to kill a boss or refine the soul or cut the tail, you have to become the boss, the giant dad yourself. Very unique mechanic.

The damage from that catalyst is absolutely insane 😳 like stronger than a lot of weapons in the game!

[@banananose3867]

Fun challenge! My favorite boss weapon would probably be the Dragon King Greataxe. I love the special slam attack it has and I'm always a fan of comically large weapons!

[@JKLeeds]

That slam attack is awesome, great for farming groups of enemies!

[@hereticFox716]

As a caster main even i can understand the beauty of a huge fuck off weapon, give me a greatsword and i become a strength mage(erm.... Cleric as i actually prefer faith builds)

[@colonelquesadilla5080]

Didn’t mention my favourite weapons in my comment on the community post so I’ll do that now. I don’t often use boss weapons in DS1 due to how they’re created, but some are fun enough to be worth it once in awhile. My favourite of these would actually be the Crystal Ring Shield, as it looks quite cool and the special attack is a lot of fun to use. Since it’s a shield you can also make use of another weapon in the right hand, a kind of dual wielding that other boss weapons in DS1 won’t allow. In terms of tail weapons, I’d funnily enough go with the Obsidian greatsword. On the downside, it’s gained from an absurdly obnoxious tail cut on one of my least favourite bosses in the game, but once that’s done you’re left with only positives. It feels like a DS2 or 3 weapon with that special attack, which is great in both PvE and PvP. Honourable mention to the Moonlight Greatsword, which lets you turn the tables and use those awful DS1 lingering explosion hitboxes to your own benefit.

[@JKLeeds]

Yeah I need to try Crystal Ring Shield tbh, saw a challenge run around it and it looks pretty fun!

[@anonecki]

The great thing about the Obsidian GS is that it can be buffed, unlike other dragon weapons. It absolutely carried me on my first randomizer run lol

[@evelinetheoofdemon6003]

I agree with most of this but the abyss greatsword and quelaags furysword are also excelent . Also same opinion about kalameet, dude pulls so much bs on me every damn time :(

[@vyor8837]

Best dragon weapon in the game.

[@PurplestLink]

If you get the shield in painted world that reduces bleed buildup and the Bloodbite ring, you can use the lifehunt scythe with basically no drawbacks, unless you manage to attack 50 times in a row. It does comparable damage to a maxxed great scythe with a ton more bleed buildup, and it's not hard to have a plus 3 or 4 before you even get to O&S

[@WaywardRobot]

Queelag's Furysword is so good, I got some use out of it in my BKGA build.

[@vilmaxblast]

i just did a (mostly) normal runthrough of ds1 with a str build, then swapped to mainly using int in ng+, as i also wanted to use sorcery. The Demon Catalyst was actually kinda cracked in the early game and got me through a good chunk of the bosses on its lonesome (got up to o&s, but the range just didnt cut it for them)

[@vegy08b06]

I think there's also a fist weapon you can get from the Iron Golem that could have saved you bending the rules with Stray Demon. You could have also totally justified using the Crystal Ring Shield after the moonlight butterfly, although that'd mean you had enough weapons to do the centipede demon fight, so perhaps best we just forget about that one...

[@TheCain91]

I love Demons Great Hammer. It's early and not RNG related drop, I can equip it before Gargoyles just playing normally and do a lot of damage. It's the best strength weapon paired with de Demons Greataxe. Also love Lifehunt Scythe for dex builds. Autobleed it's nothing with the ring and it's even more pointless with the shield. And do a lot of damage. Those two are my favorite weapons for basic and straight str/dex builds. Very broken.

I know this isn't a glitch playthrough but if you allowed glitches you could get around your rule breaks. Using the firebomb quitout on the asylum demon would keep it alive but let you get the key, you can get the Dragon King Greataxe, Gargoyle Tail Axe, Pricilla's Dagger, Moonlight Greatsword, Guardian Tail, and Obsidian Greatsword without killing any bosses (Depth clip, iron golem wrong warp, and early archives).

If you're having trouble cutting Seath's tail, the easies way to do it is to bait him into destroying his own crystal and run behind him while he's staggered. Bone out if you don't get the tail cut and repeat until successful.

[@cjw8497]

When i saw the title of this video, I tried to figure out a route that was possible. Not counting the asylum demon there are 25 bosses, and you can start in firelink with the Demon Hammer. You need 24 more weapons. You can get 20 from drops (including the Gargoyle shield). If you include any weapon upgraded with demon titanite you can get the Gravelord Sword and Demon Spear. If you include all tail cuts you can get the Drake sword and Dragon Greatsword. With that, you can barely make it to the end of the game.

[@cjw8497]

Also, if you allow glitches you can dupe boss souls and that would get you 6 more weapons (I think). But duping boss souls on console is an annoying process.

[@JKLeeds]

Yeah I wanted to do it without glitches if possible. As you say, it is JUST barely possible
