Boss Soul Weapons for Crown of the Old Iron King
The latest DLC for Dark Souls 2, Crown of the Old Iron King, features 4 new Boss Soul Weapons. Each of these can be obtained by visiting Ornifex in Brightstone.
Bewitched Alonne Sword
The Bewitched Alonne Sword is obtained by trading the soul of Sir Alonne to Ornifex. You will also need 18,000 souls to complete the purchase.
This sword is a Great Katana and has the standard moves as such. It does also inflict bleeding damage, and takes 30 Dex and 22 Strength to wield, with a B scaling in Dexterity.
What makes the sword special, is the special buff it has. While two handing the sword, you can press L2 to do a seppuku style attack. Your character will stab themselves, dealing damage to you, and upon pulling the sword out, it will be buffed in dark fire. The buff lasts roughly 30 seconds and can be replied infinitely, so long as you have health.
Fume Ultra Greatsword
The Fume Ultra Greatsword is obtained by trading the soul of the Fume Knight to Ornifex. It will also cost you 25,000 souls.
This beastly sword has a fairly standard move set, however if you press R2 while holding it in one hand, or L2 while using two hands, you can activate an attack that blocks and does damage. Your character swings the sword in such a way that the first half of the animation acts as a block, while the second brings the sword down to slam the ground. Timing this correctly can block almost any melee based attack and follow it up with a powerful slam from your sword.
To wield this massive blade, you will need 40 Strength and 30 Dexterity. It has an S scaling in Strength, with a D in Dexterity. Also, for being a sword, it has unnaturally high Block, with a total of 80, making it useful as an impromptu shield.
Fume Sword
The Fume Sword is obtained by trading the Fume Knight soul to Ornifex, along with 8,000 souls.
This sword is fairly straight forward, acting similar to many other longswords in the game. It does decent base damage, and also hits for dark magic. It has no special attacks to make note of.
It requires 15 Strength and 22 Dexterity to wield, with a C scaling in Dexterity.
Chime of Screams
The Chime of Screams is obtained by trading the completed soul of Nadalia to Ornifex. You will also need to give her 20,000 souls to finish the trade.
This chime is quite powerful. It requires 26 Faith to wield, with a B rating in both Dark and Lightning based magics. The chime has very high damage, however, it has the slowest cast time in the game, with a meager 25 speed, making it very difficult to use in battle.
It also has a scaling Faith bonus. The lower the faith you have upon equipping it, the higher the bonus. For example, someone with 30 Faith will gain a bonus of 5-6 Faith, while someone with 80 Faith would only gain 1-2 points.
