8 Video Game Weapons That Are Genuinely HORRIBLE

Now to be clear there are many, MANY horrible weapons present in Elden Ring, from dung-encrusted cudgels to huge bladed monstrosities designed to bleed your opponent dry. It's a game built on pain on a foundation of "ouch" and what a mighty mansion it is, and so choosing just one horrible weapon from a title rocking so many of them was challenging indeed.

And then I remembered the Fingerslayer Blade.

While this might not be a weapon that the player themselves can wield (for they apparently lack a fate which seems like such a passive-aggressive putdown) it's a key item that takes up residence in their inventory and allows them to inspect the blade in all its horrifying glory.

This weapon is basically like what would happen if Cronenberg was asked to redesign the mighty Soul Edge, for this is both a sharp and cruel device, but is one that seems to have been forged out of an actual body. Gross doesn't even cut it here.

As you study the horrible twisted shape, the thinned-out handle that seems to have been squeezed and torn, and the sickening crust and ooze you'll be glad your character never has to touch this weapon for long, but linger on in your memory this sword will, as it is truly disgusting.
