"He who chooses this as a weapon either faces extenuating circumstances or has an odd sense of humor. If you care for your life, leave this one in the kitchen." Thus reads the item description of the Handmaid's Ladle, retrieved from Milibeth in Things Betwixt upon defeating all three Cyclops enemies in the area. There's nothing special about this item. It does not have a hidden power which is unleased upon upgrading or infusing or defeating a certain amount of enemies. The task this ladle is best for is serving soup. Dark Souls 2 has no soup mechanics but if it did, this weapon would be number one on the list of Best Items To Serve Dark Souls 2 Soup With. So why is this unremarkable, laughably weak weapon on this list? Well, you simply haven't lived until you have battered The Last Giant in the ankles with nothing but a massive spoon and walked away the victor. That is why.
