Move around until you see a ladder taking you up to the rooftops, then immediately turn around.

Kill him, then proceed to your right through the alley behind the houses. After you’ve crossed, run up towards the graveyard and watch out for the Corvian Knight ahead. First, head to the Corvian Settlement bonfire and then run across the bridge in front of you. You’ll find the Crow Talons in the Corvian Settlement within the DLC. They may not be as effective against certain bosses or enemies in the game, but in PvP they’re an absolute monster.

More importantly, the weapon art Raptor Flurry allows you to execute a series of attacks that cannot be interrupted, dealing enough damage to kill an enemy player in one go.

This set of claws is currently one of the deadliest weapons present in Dark Souls 3 when used on a character built for them, allowing players to unleash a plethora of different slashes and stabs that all cause bleed buildup. The Crow Talons are a set of sharp claw weapons wielded by the Corvian Knights in the Painted World of Ariandel who use them to viciously attack their enemies and bleed them dry. Approach the ruins to trigger the boss fight with the Champion’s Gravetender and Gravetender Greatwolf, who will drop the weapon when defeated. This time go all the way down to the bottom and search for a massive open area covered with flowers. To locate the optional boss that drops it, you’ll have to navigate down through the same roots you did to find the Follower Sabre. Like the Onyx Blade, Valorheart is a weapon obtained from killing one of the new NPCs located with the Painted World of Ariandel. While in this stance you can perform powerful thrust attacks without losing the defense of your shield and stun attacking enemies with a shield bash echoing out a lion’s roar. The big advantage of this weapon though is the weapon art, which gives you access to the Lion Stance. When both the shield and sword are in hand, Valorheart allows you to unleash a series of quick shield bashes and slashes that stagger your opponent and deal a decent amount of damage. Unlike many of the other sword-and-board combos present in the game, Valorheart is equipped in one hand and stores the shield on your back until you “two-hand” your weapon. Valorheart is the first weapon of its kind in Dark Souls 3 that focuses on heavy defense and exposing your enemy’s weakness. Defeat him and the Onyx Blade will be yours. Later when you’re moving through the graveyard back underneath the chapel, you’ll meet him again and he will become hostile. When you first approach the Ariandel Chapel once crossing the wooden rope bridge, speak with Sir Vilhelm before entering the chapel to meet Sister Friede. This weapon is one of the more straightforward ones to obtain seeing as it drops off a key NPC present in Ashes of Ariandel’s main narrative. The coating animation is also very fast, meaning that you can apply it with little danger in combat against enemies or in PvP engagements. When used, this weapon art coats the Onyx Blade in a flame that does fire and dark damage that will also deal small amounts of damage through enemy defenses.

This greatsword features a moveset like all the others in Dark Souls 3, but allows the wielder to swing and stab faster - with the added benefit of Elfriede’s Blackflame. The Onyx Blade is one of the more unique weapons available in Ashes of Ariandel, giving players who prefer to mix magic and melee a heavy-hitting weapon that scales with Intelligence and Faith. Once you’ve almost reached the bottom, kill a Follower throwing spears and turn around - the weapon’s nested against the mountain in some roots! Climb down the bridge and start working your way through the roots below. From there, turn around and head back outside to the wooden rope bridge you just crossed and slash it twice, making it collapse down into the ravine below. To obtain this weapon, you’ll have to reach the Ariandel Chapel bonfire in the Painted World of Ariandel. Oh, and did we mention you can buff it? Because you totally can. You’ll also get access to the Prying Wedge weapon art, which is a series of two swinging uppercuts that currently deal one of the highest amounts of damage in the game. Classified as a curved sword, the Follower Sabre gives the wielder access to a series of basic slashes that act like those of a straight sword, combined with an uppercut that deals a decent amount of damage.

The Follower Sabre is one of the few cutlass-like weapons present in Dark Souls 3, featuring a very strong moveset that can absolutely demolish enemies in combat.
