Elden Ring: 8 Weapons You Should Avoid

Each of the incredible weapons that are included with the Elden Ring is powerful enough to bring even a god to his or her knees, and the Elden Ring itself is equipped with a wide variety of these weapons. These divine weapons bring the Tarnished one step closer to achieving their ultimate ambition of ascending to the Elden Throne. These divine weapons include everything from the most potent intelligence weapons to the most powerful arcane weapons. Despite this, there are a few weapons in the game that are utterly incapable of hitting their target.

 

In the course of boss fights, these weapons hardly make a difference at all, regardless of whether or not they are pointless or utterly terrible. In point of fact, it is in your best interest to stay as far away from them as possible and look for weapons that are more efficient. Except for if you go with one of these, you won't be disappointed with your purchase from Elden Ring because they have such a large selection to choose from.

The Stars of Bastard

By any stretch of the imagination, this is not a particularly terrible weapon. In point of fact, Bastard's Stars is without a doubt one of the weapons that has been designed with the utmost attention to detail throughout the entirety of the game. However, given the existence of the Wing of Astel, its continued existence is no longer required in any way. The latter version of Ash of War has the same incredible moves as the former one, but its overall move set is significantly more comprehensive.

The Bastard's Stars can only be obtained after Astel, Naturalborn of the Void has been defeated, and it would appear that they were crafted from the same planetary orbs that Astel was constructed from. The question that needs to be answered is whether or not acquiring this weapon is worthwhile, considering that you can simply go and get the Wing of Astel without having to kill an extraterrestrial being in order to get it. If the answer to this question is yes, then the question needs to be answered.

Axe Of Godfrey

Even though it is wielded by a boss that is undeniably challenging, you should steer clear of using the Axe of Godfrey because it is a Remembrance weapon, and you should avoid using it. It's one of those weapons that, when the boss is wielding it, gives off the impression of incredible power, but when you get a hold of it, it's nothing more than a pale imitation of what it used to be.

The Axe of Godfrey is difficult to wield because it is so cumbersome and painfully slow, despite the fact that XBOX Elden Ring Runes was obviously made for Strength. When you wield it, you run the risk of making errors, and even the most lowly Tarnished requires all of their strength just to swing it. In the event that you are struck, it will be too late to do anything about it because your adversaries will have already delivered the knockout blow. Instead of going with Hoarah Loux's Earthshaker Ash of War, it would be in your best interest to choose that option.

Serpent-Hunter

It wouldn't be a FromSoftware game without at least one gimmicky fight, and the fight with Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy is truly the gimmick to end all gimmicks. Case in point Case in point Case in point Case in point Case in point The battle against Rykard the Boss is very similar to the battle against Yhorm the Giant in Dark Souls 3, in which the lowly Tarnished is given a weapon at the entrance to the boss arena. Both battles take place in the same area.

By directing a whirlwind of wind blades in the direction of the boss, this weapon, which is known as the Serpent-Hunter, is able to deal a significant amount of damage to them. When the fight is over, however, the destructive potential of this weapon is no longer available to be used. When this ability is used in any other fight, there is actually nothing particularly remarkable that takes place. Because the power of the Serpent-Hunter will be extinguished as soon as Rykard is vanquished from the battlefield.

Torch Even though you probably wouldn't think of using a torch as a weapon in the first place, the game provides a wide variety of torches with a variety of different capabilities. This is despite the fact that you probably wouldn't think of using a torch as a weapon in the first place.

Even though the Beast-Repellent Torch and St. Trina's Torch are two of the most beneficial torches, using a regular torch as your primary weapon is not going to get you very far.

The most significant takeaway that can be gained from this is that the Tarnished should utilize the torch in the manner that it was designed to be utilized in order to get the most out of it. However, rather than bringing a torch with you into a cave, it is advisable to bring along a lantern instead. Caves tend to be quite dark.
 

 

The Stand for a Torch

 

• The hooded guards of Stormveil Castle primarily use the Torchpole, a hybrid weapon that combines a torch and a spear, as a spear-type weapon

• The Torchpole is a combination of a torch and a spear

• The name "Torchpole" is given to this particular weapon

• Despite the fact that there are definitely uses for both the Torchpole and the Flamethrower, the mega damage that you are hoping to inflict with the Torchpole is not possible

It's possible that you've already guessed this, but the torch that's built into this weapon is the one and only feature that sets it apart from others. It would be to your advantage to find an additional spear or polearm-type weapon in addition to a separate torch. Also, it would be beneficial for you to find a torch.

Using a Fork as a Hatchet

The Forked Hatchet is a common weapon used by imps found in catacombs. It has two prongs and is known as the Forked Hatchet. These imps have a well-deserved reputation for being extremely dangerous. Despite the fact that it is capable of dealing damage that is analogous to blood loss, it is not even close to being the game's most effective Bleed weapon. You would rather find yourself in a situation in which you have to battle foes while wielding a literal fork than any other scenario.

In terms of its overall power, the Icerind Hatchet is superior to its forked counterpart, the Forked Hatchet. The Rivers of Blood katana and Eleonora's Poleblade are two additional Bleed weapons that may be of interest to you, but the Forked Hatchet is not a weapon that you should keep with you after the conclusion of the game. Instead, you should consider bringing the Rivers of Blood katana and Eleonora's Poleblade with you when you leave the game.

The Greatshield of Briar in its place

The Briar Greatshield is made of rusted metal and is covered in rose thorns all around its perimeter. It is one of the items that can be looted from Elemer of the Briar in The Shaded Castle. You can find Elemer of the Briar there. The menacing appearance of the Briar Greatshield raises high expectations, but the actual performance of the shield does not live up to those expectations and falls short instead.

When it comes to its ability to block physical damage, the Briar Greatshield does not perform particularly well when compared to the performance of other greatshields in the game. At this point, even a mediocre shield scavenged from the corpse of a guard is superior to the one you currently possess because it was looted from the guard.

a shield in a poor state of repair

Even if its name hasn't already given it away, the performance of this shield will definitely give it away in no uncertain terms. When it comes to this particular shield, FromSoftware's plan all along was for it to be a joke. They never intended for it to be taken seriously. Even the description of the Elden Ring runes found within the game instructs you explicitly not to bother equipping it in any way, shape, or form.

It is not surprising that it possesses no defensive capabilities whatsoever, and it looks as though it could be dismantled by a strong gust of wind. Following the recommendation that was provided by FromSoftware is, consequently, the course of action that we believe to be the most prudent course of action.
