10 DEADLIEST Dark Souls Sorceries

10. Hidden Weapon

At first glance, this sorcery may seem a bit pointless. What could possibly be the use in making your weapon invisible? And sure, there isn't really any in offline PvE. But it's in PvP, specifically fending off invading players, where this devious trick really shines.

Think about it: you're coming at your opponent with a massive slab of metal the size of a small aircraft, one that screams "come get me while I spend the next ten seconds winding up my attack". If they can't see your weapon, however, how will they know when to dodge and when to strike?

It works the other way, too. You could have a very quick and elegant dexterity-based weapon, while the invader could be expecting you to have a huge strength weapon and think they've got time to get a few jabs in. Then you carve them up like a turkey.

It's the perfect tool for both the invading scumbag and the stalwart warrior who has to defend his home turf.
