10 Best Video Game Weapons Hidden In DLC

7. Obsidian Greatsword - Dark Souls

Now, without wading too deep into the fiery debate about which Dark Souls weapons are truly the best, it's fair to say that many of the fan favourite weapons are hidden away in DLC packs, including the first game's Obsidian Greatsword.

Exclusive to the Artorias of the Abyss DLC at a launch cost of $14.99, the Obsidian Greatsword's mileage may vary among players depending on their build, but between its high base damage, low stat requirement, and potential to deliver massive amounts of damage when buffed, it's one of the game's best dragon weapons.

Yet it's also a real pain in the ass to obtain, requiring players to not only flash their credit card and buy the DLC, but additionally defeat the hardest boss in the game as a whole, Kalameet, and sever his tail, which due to being out of reach for most of the fight is an insanely challenging feat itself.

Nobody could really blame even a seasoned Dark Souls player for deciding the Obisidian Greatsword wasn't worth all the hassle, but in that case they also missed out on an absolute corker of a weapon.
