Dark Souls II: SOTFS - Unique Weapons With Special Abilities

Even though there are many of them and some of which are pretty interesting, these still don't even come close to the strength and power of the ones from the original Dark Souls. This is pretty much the game where they started underpowering everything. I could name these for you but what fun would that be? Enjoy the hunt guys :) And for those of you who are familiar with these, which weapons do you think are unique and weren't in the video?

[@irreverentizzy5426]

15:12 This fist weapon has one of the most unique and interesting movesets in any Soulslike, it is SO much more than just a hadouken. It completely alters your moveset both when powerstancing and when using it on its own. Absolutely shame this video only shows the energy blast. It has a solid AoE on most one handed attacks, and it hits like a truck if you build it right. I use it dark infused with dark weapon, and it rips enemies to pieces like nothing else. It's slow and predictable, but when you get into a combo it's unstoppable. Probably my fave weapon in the whole game.

[@Spottyg]

Damn my guy straight up whiped vendrick like he was a slave

[@PaperFlare]

The only things left out that I would personally say are worth mentioning: -Majestic Greatsword, in addition to using Artorias' spin and leap when you do a heavy attack (1H and 2H respectively) does his crazy kick-flip combo if you powerstance it with another "sword" weapon. -Many of these weapons can activate their special attacks when combined with the Warped Sword's and the Curved Nil Greatsword's unique powerstance moveset. Eleum Loyce causes all hits done while spinning to heal/drain health and the Ivory Straight Sword emits the long beam with the Warped. And the Smelter Swords do their fire explosion with Curved Nil. Just as a couple examples. Other than those two: -Since the Old Whip was included, other weapons with unique "hidden" effects: Blue Dagger (buffs magic, lowers ele. defense. Good offhand for casting). Ruler's Sword (gains AR for souls held, up to +159AR at 10M souls, loses AR at 0 souls). King's UGS (does durability damage per hit, breaks rings really easily). Forlorn Greatsword/Scythe/Dark Flame (gains AR for how hollowed you are, Forlorn weapons go to 0 AR when human. You still get str/dex scaling). Lost Sinner's Sword (deals self damage per swing, loses damage based on how much "sin" you've done, reducing to 0 AR at 30 sin. You still get your str/dex scaling though). Sanctum Mace (works like the Lifehunt Scythe from DS1, but poisons yourself each time you strike). Watcher's Shield (when you block a melee attack, sprays acid that drains weapon durability).

I’m sure it’s been mentioned, but in DS2 the damage number that pops up is unfortunately the last damage applied. So if something has a multi impact, the damage number is not accurate. For example, firebombs. The bomb impacts for X amount of damage, then the explosion happens a couple frames later resulting in only displaying the explosion damage but the impact did damage too.
