Sure, some of these weapons are actually quite powerful if used correctly, but there were more than a few that felt short of expectations once I picked them up from Ludleth. Typically considered some of the most powerful items in the game, it surprised me that during my entire play-through of Dark Souls 3 I had only managed to realize that they were available to me right before I completed my game. In Dark Souls 3 after defeating a boss, you’ll pick up a named boss soul which can then be transposed by Ludleth of Courland into new equipment for your character.
But more importantly, I remembered that I was still sitting on over a dozen boss souls that I hadn’t converted to weapons, armor or other items. I remembered killing the dragon on the High Wall of Lothric with a hundred wooden arrows at level 15 too, as well as fighting against Aldrich nearly 30 times before finally beating him with a loud scream of victory. I learned a lot of the mechanics of the game, about where items were hidden and about the optimal paths to progress through to get them.
As I was about to finish up my first play-through of Dark Souls 3 last night, I naturally had a few flashbacks across my entire journey through the game.
