Magic is still one of the most useful tools that any player can harness in Demon’s Souls. The remake may have made the game better, but that truth will always remain. The release of the remake has brought in new players to the franchise. While some are able to run through the game at blinding speed, others are left searching and wondering.
One of the biggest problems when attempting to use magic for the first time is finding the right weapon. Well search no further, cause these ones are the best for any magic build.
10 Kris Blade
The Kris Blade is great for those who wish to use magic and it can be found easily. What makes this weapon so good is the damage bonus it gives to all spells. It is a great weapon to have on hand to dish out some extra damage to enemies. It also does most of its damage as magic damage which is great for intelligence users. To get this weapon players need to travel to the Smithing Grounds unless they have defeated the Armor Spider boss. In the area right before the boss is some scaffolding. That is where the weapon is found.
9 Blind
Blind doesn’t offer any useful buffs for spells, but it is useful nonetheless. This weapon completely ignores shields. As a nice bonus, the weapon also weighs 0.1. The only downside is that it requires players to put points into Dexterity. To get this weapon, players will need to travel to the Swamp of Sorrow and kill Black Phantom Selen Vinland. She resides near the first fog door of the area and wields Blind. Players need to be careful when approaching her because she can traverse the swamp with ease while players will have slower movement and be incapable of rolling.
8 Epee Rapier
For players who like stabbing weapons, the Epee Rapier is great. This weapon scales from both Dexterity and Magic which makes it great for magic users. It deals fire damage as well as physical damage. This weapon can be found in Upper Latria, though it takes some time to obtain. Players will need to travel through the area and destroy the chains that are holding the heart in the large tower. This will cause the heart to fall and get destroyed. Once the heart is destroyed, players can travel back to the tower and go down to the bottom. The weapon can be found behind where the heart lands.
7 Rune Sword
The Rune Sword doesn’t scale off Magic but rather Strength. That doesn’t mean it isn’t useful. It deals magic damage and has the bonus of increasing Magic Defense. It can be a little difficult to obtain because it rests on a hard to reach the platform. Players who want this weapon should make their way to Upper Latria.
Go to the tower with the heart. At the top of the staircase, players will notice a ledge to the left. When looking down, they will notice another platform with an item on it. That is the Rune Sword. Creep along the ledge and fall. It may take a few attempts because the landing area is rather thin.
6 Spiral Rapier
The Spiral Rapier is great because of the bleed damage it deals. What makes it better is the fact that it can be infused as well. Magic-users will want to infuse the weapon into the Crescent Spiral Rapier. This will allow it to scale off of Magic with an A ranking. This is another weapon that is found in Upper Latria, though it is easier to obtain as long as players have good item discovery. This weapon can be farmed from the Gargoyles.
5 Gargoyle Crossbow
Players who prefer to keep their attacks at a distance will appreciate the Gargoyle Crossbow. This weapon scales off of Magic and primarily deals Magic damage. Yet again, players will need to travel to Upper Latria to retrieve this weapon as it drops from the Gargoyles in the area. There are only a few Gargoyles that will drop the crossbow. They can be found on the walkway to the first chain tower, the walkway to the second chain tower, and the walkway leading to the lower part of the heart tower.
4 Insanity Catalyst
The Insanity Catalyst is the best catalyst in the game when it comes to damage, but it comes at a great cost. This catalyst will cut a player’s MP bar in half, so it is best to raise the bar if magic is a key part of the build. The Insanity Catalyst scales entirely from Magic with an A ranking. The only other catalyst that scales with Magic is the Wooden Catalyst. This catalyst is obtained by upgrading either the Wooden Catalyst or Silver Catalyst with the Golden Demon Soul. This is the soul obtained from killing the Old Monk boss.
3 Uchigatana
The Uchigatana is a great weapon overall. It does bleed damage by default and attacks rather fast. The best path to take this weapon when doing a magic build is to make it a Moon Uchigatana. This will give the weapon Magic scaling of a C rank. Players can obtain the Uchigatana in two ways.
It can be dropped by the Black Skeletons in Island’s Edge or it is sitting on the ground behind the Vanguard Demon in the same area. Players can avoid fighting the Vanguard Demon by taking the underground pathway filled with illusory walls.
2 Soulbrandt
Soulbrandt is an interesting weapon because its power doesn’t rely on any scaling. Instead, its power depends upon the player’s Character Tendency. At pure black Character Tendency, Soulbrandt has increased attack power, but with white Character Tendency, it has no attack power. The weapon does require points in the Magic stat to wield. Players can grab this weapon at the end of the game after defeating the King Allant boss fight. Once they beat King Allant, players will need to travel back to the Nexus and fall down the hole that appears. This will take them to a new area where they will enter the Old One. Inside of the Old One is the true version of King Allant. Defeating him will grant players the sword.
1 Geri’s Stiletto
Geri’s Stiletto is perhaps the best weapon a magic-user can wield. While it doesn’t have the best stats in the game, it has a bonus that trumps all the others, the ability to steal MP. Every hit that players deal to an enemy with this weapon will grant them 20MP. That bonus is extremely valuable to any magic-user and makes Spices almost obsolete. This weapon can be found in the Prison of Hope and requires players to rescue Sage Freke from his jail cell.
