That's a really crappy list. You didn't even include Heaven Swords, equip one for each hand. Press both at the same time is how you activate the special. It's one of the most powerful specials out of all of the swords. Ice, Fire Thunder blades are great too. There's the Mablung Sword that acts like the Shield Rod but without the slow speed. The Moon Rod is awesome as well.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zq _Translator:_ Heaven Sword has less damage, is slower and has shorter range than Runesword. Only the special attack with two swords is cool, but not worth the effort. Swords with elemental attributes are not very good, because many enemies are resistant to them. The Mablung Sword is obtained towards the end of the game, when you have access to many better weapons. For this reason, the Shield Rod is much more useful. Besides, attack speed or even strength does not matter, because you use special attacks with shields.
Crissaegrim is #1 since it can be used one-handed and doesn't interrupt your movement, meaning you can attack continuously while running. The Muramasa may be more powerful, but since it requires both hands and has a delay between attacks the DPS is WAY lower. With the Crissaegrim and a turbo controller, you just hold the button down and walk. Everything in front of you dies in under a second because it's getting hit for hundreds of points of damage every frame. For some particularly powerful monsters you might have to stop moving for a second or two, but really once you get the Crissaegrim the game is basically over.
_Translator:_ Muramasa DPS is greater than Crissaegrim. Watch my last video. Additionally, some enemies jump back or block after the first slash. When Muramasa attacks, they have no chance to react and die immediately.
@@3dhYTNah each one only did ~100 but when you're hitting the enemy 20-30 times per second, nothing can live. Even Galamoth with his obscene 12,0000HP dies in a couple seconds, during which you are never once rooted to the spot.
Alucard Shield + Shield Rod or Mablung Sword is hands down the most broken combo of the game. Casting the Shield Spell does a ton of damage and heals you as long as you’re holding up the shield making you essentially immune to all damage. Costs MP, but you can shred Dracula down in literal seconds.
@@tuhaka5212The shield rod is only OP with Alucard's shield due to Data underflow. The intention was that the Shield can "Absorb" Damage and render Alucard invulnerable for a set of time. But because the damage cannot go lower than Zero, it renders the maximum amount (256) instead. The rest of the Shield rod Combos are not OP and the shields are not easy to find.
@@chronicle_4 Sure graphically, it's just a nice a game but the real thing of this game is the monstruous number of visual details that make this game a true gem that even after replaying multiple time, you can still discover things
I have a soft spot for Fist of Tulkas, it was one of the best weapons I got in my very first playthrough and carried me so much in the inverted castle. It was eventually replaced with the Alucard Sword as my main weapon, but I still found myself using the Fist because of the "Hadouken".
overall Crissaegrim >> Muramasa Not only is muramasa really rare (rarer than crissaegrim) The amount of grinding needed to make it useful is ridiculous, compared to crissaegrim that does great damage with the fastest Attack speed.
An extremely rare drop is Gurthang, it deals just a little less damage than Masamune, I think. And it's one-handed. Without the insane grind needed for Muramasa, it is the third most damaging sword in the game.
@@tonyyoung1991 You don't need the highest damage all the time, and could just use Dark Metamorphosis on bosses. It also has a quarter-circle forward special that gives a flat bonus to its ATT, just in case you need it without DM's cast time.
By sheer raw stats, the Muramasa takes the #1 spot... however, I am firmly in the camp that the Crissaegrim is the #1 sword, when you take every factor into account. You can dual wield the Crissaegrim, which (by frames) can keep your attack rate at a solid 100% of the time you are attacking, doesn't root you in place for the attack, and does comparably high damage with the Masamune, rendering any enemy that gets into range (besides high HP bosses) dead on arrival, and even that said, the bosses will go down in sheer seconds, compared to the Masamune, which requires time between swings. While the Masamune is more powerful by sheer damage/DPS, the primary killer of it taking the #1 spot is the length of time necessary to get the sword up to snuff to top out the Crissaegrim. Plus, as far as personal preference goes, the Crissaegrim is more easily obtained as a drop, by swinging on the same Schmoo repeatedly after stepping through a door in the Forbidden Library. The Masamune is somewhat more difficult to obtain (due to the placement of the enemies which drop it).
@@joerihuffmeijer3247 Breaks the game spectacularly. One possible combo that works like a charm as well is shield rod and alucard shield. The game has them as default items in the normal and in the inverted castles which is just ridiculous. And i love it.
Shield Rod has 2 specials. The one you demonstrated by using it at the same time as a shield, and then the down to forward combo which fires out a spinning star that sticks in the air for a fair amount of time and can actually block projectiles that come at you.
This isn't the first time ive seen the rapier get mentioned and not the were bane :( Also i would put fist higher. Not just strong with multiple moves and defense but of you time it right it can be used at same time as the Crissagrim
While full powered Muramasa is powerful, dual Crimsaegram is still better. Much wider, longer, and ability to move during the attack simply surpasses everything.
@@3dhYT What? Really? I'm fairly certain double Crimsaegram is faster (assuming you mash both buttons at reasonably fast speed), but I never tested it. But I do know that Crimsaegram is better in going around the castle.
Shield rod+ Alucard shield combo is the only acceptable answer. Both very easy to find. No farming/drop rate required. Kills any and all enemies and bosses in literally under 5 seconds 🤷🏽♂️. I can see the only downside being you dont get the Alucard shield until the Reverse Castle, but if you’re on a 2nd playthrough, you can even keep that with Luck name password 🤷🏽♂️
In my opinion Sword of Dawn can be also #1 since it summons dawn warriors over and over, and combined with thunder subweapon u can destroy all enemies easily 💪🏻
dude Crissaegrim is most broken weapon in SOTN i mean if once u get that weapon u basically is a walking bulldozer that demolishes everything in ur path including all the bosses. honestly i think that weapon should only be obtainable after u beat the game once. and you use that weapon specifically for speedrun. honestly Crissaegrim is pretty anti-fun
They couldn't contain all that explosive power in 1 video! But yeah, Marsil sword is one of my favorites... even if there's a decent amount of enemies higher up that it doesn't work so well on, but that special is just damn fun!
Mine as well. Dual-wield while alternating attack button presses and you can literally walk around whacking everything. Not the strongest weapon but oh so much fun.
@@3dhYT Even by your own dots system Crissaegrim beats it out. Although to be honest at this point it's splitting hairs, once you've got one or the other there is nothing in the game to challenge you anymore. A high damage muramasa or a crissaegrim both trivialize all endgame content lol
Depending on your stats, Shield Rod + Alucard Shield is the best. I guess max Dmg you can get is 3,998, I believe with Muramasa, but that's far unrealistic for most players. SR+AS damage is always about 255, DPS is over 1,000, I guess and you get healed for 8 HP and like a second of invincibility per hit. MP consumption is very low and slow as well. And you just got to hold the shield button and stay close to the opponent. It kills anything really quick and safely.
SoTN is a game that always refreash my understanding every time I watch video about it. So many secret....That fist can shoot projectile? How??? lol...
These are amazing! I just picked up the game on the PS store for the Halloween sale and I'm loving it, but how are you doing the "special"? Are those unique to those weapons? I'm at the Succubus fight so far because I killed Richter thinking "Oh, maybe I wasn't supposed to kill him.." so I'm missing a whole upside down castle experience I'm told. Thanks for the great content!
Holy rod was also decent, it is fast and had a holy attribute, and you can also raise damage by doing a special. I remember how something dropped a Rune Sword for me in the hall, and I was like, is it really just hitting half a screen away and deals good damage.
@@tendousouji14344 it was from the dodo, and its only found on the upside down castle in that one hallway. The drop rate is like donkey's a$$ low, and even with a lot of luck you're still slowed down by the fact there's only 1 dodo in that one hallway every time you enter it, so yeah... just be prepared to spend at least a good portion of a day trying to farm for it.
Is there a faster way of leveling up instead of killing the royal gaurds in the inverted marble gallery? Im level 50 and its getting harder to level up 😅
@@DougiePwnZ3 _Translator:_ Guardian gives the most experience points, but after some time all enemies will be worth 1 exp. Then it's best to level up Alucard (and also Muramasa) on Medusas, but Spectral Sword is probably an even better opponent for leveling up.
You forgot to show the other special ofnthr shield rod. The gradius-like shield thingies that float in the air. And muramasaay not be the #1 since you to grind it to power it up. :) but over all damage, it will he the number 1 if it's fully powered up.
It's slower, you get three attacks in a given time from Crisaegrim, while Vorpal does two. I tested this years ago because I initially thought the same thing. Unless they fixed that in one of its many iterations between platforms, Crisaegrim hits faster and more often. I'm surprised that flame weapon off the Flame Demon from the Inverted lab wasn't mentioned though. Hit like a truck, has a short duration aoe that burns projectiles, and a special that blasts a large portion of the map.
Duplicator + meal ticket! Food for days!!! (until your stomach bursts... or diarrhea strikes, because there is not a single toilet in the entire castle)
as far as my favorites goes always enjoyed using masamune and rapier/werebane and chakram which I find much better than runesword. But never say no to shield rod with a good shield spell
_Translator:_ I prefer Muramasa. This is the most powerful weapon (ATK 999 vs ATK 36 Crissaegrim) and thanks to Muramasa I had a reason to play longer. And believe me, one strong cut is better than 4 small ones 😏
@@3dhYT I think many players use Gurtham with Dark Metamorphosis for extra benefit, or another bloody equipment that enhances it but I'm not sure what it is
Crissaegrim too OP at is broken! ur attacking and defending while moving in the same time without any animation delay and hits almost everything in its path and so powerful even at 1 str you can finish the game with it.. again while moving without any animation delay no hindrance on the game play at all.
I made this game my bitch with the shield-rod and the medusa shield. Using gear to get my attack as high as possible I pew-pew'd with laser-beam eyes to victory. xD
Death: Ahh... Alucard... have you reconsidered opposing Dracula? No... well to bad... prepare to die! Alucard : I'm firing my lasers! Death: Wait... what?!? 😅😂🤣
Runesword is faster, deals more damage and has the longest range. The Heaven Sword special attack is cool, but it's not enough for me. Thanks for comment.
Top 10 1. crissaegrim 2. Vorpal Blade 3. Masamune 4. Marsil 5. Malbung Sword (similar to shield Rod) 6. Sword Familiar 7. Alucard Sword 8. Moon Rod 9. Fist of Tulkas 10. Yasutsuna or Osafune Katana Honorary mention: Duplicator and Power of Sire. Top 5 can can absolutely break the game.
@@Deverik1981 Yeah the drops can be painful. The Rune Sword from the Dodo Bird can be a bitch. Every year I learn something new about this game. Like equipping all Alucart equipment will boost your luck. Stack it with the luck name code and other luck equipment helps with item drops.
How did you get so much HP and hearts??!! I'm at the end of the game and all i have is 668 HP and a little over 225 heart max.. Please share with me your secret?
@@cocodojo Some of them weren't meant to be but were made into Tolkein references in the English translation, some of which are rectified later. But there are actually references to several different books in SotN.
This and 2 ring of Aries makes it the best weapon in the game hands down. Yeah it's 2 handed, but if you alternate button presses it's 4x faster than the crisagrim. It seems to get critical hit way more often than any other weapon. Ps. You can use it while moving.

I prefer Muramasa. This is the most powerful weapon (ATK 999 vs ATK 36 Crissaegrim) and thanks to Muramasa I had a reason to play longer. And believe me, one strong cut is better than 4 small ones 😏
Crissaegrim ruined the game for me. Broke the skill curve.
Where would you place Gurtham, Vorpal, and Heaven Sword?
@@Hanesboi close to top 10.
@@3dhYT I think many players use Gurtham with Dark Metamorphosis for extra benefit, or another bloody equipment that enhances it but I'm not sure what it is
Can you test Yasutsuna, alternating R and L spam? It might do more damage than crissagraem.
No. Yasutsuna's hitbox is actually a bit janky. So occasionally you would lose dps.
Crissaegrim too OP at is broken! ur attacking and defending while moving in the same time without any animation delay and hits almost everything in its path and so powerful even at 1 str you can finish the game with it.. again while moving without any animation delay no hindrance on the game play at all.
how cant be the crissaegrim be on top?
absolutley overpowered wep (love it =D)
Because 999 damage is greater than 36 😉
I made this game my bitch with the shield-rod and the medusa shield. Using gear to get my attack as high as possible I pew-pew'd with laser-beam eyes to victory. xD
Death: Ahh... Alucard... have you reconsidered opposing Dracula? No... well to bad... prepare to die!
Alucard : I'm firing my lasers!
Death: Wait... what?!?
😅😂🤣
How can I use the ability of the Elo Card sword, I can't do those moves and how can I use the gravity shoes
Hit down and up with the jump button 😊
Swipe down and up with jump
Idk. I used the one with the best dmg, but vs boss with12k hp i used shield rod+ alucard shield. Reverse castle is way easier than normal
The normal castle is the real struggle. On reversed u r going with bat or gas+ posion 0% of fun
Honorable mention: Red rust 😂
instead of rune sword I would say heaven sword x2, using 2 deals tons of dmg
Runesword is faster, deals more damage and has the longest range. The Heaven Sword special attack is cool, but it's not enough for me.
Thanks for comment.
I usually use the katana
Top 10
1. crissaegrim
2. Vorpal Blade
3. Masamune
4. Marsil
5. Malbung Sword (similar to shield Rod)
6. Sword Familiar
7. Alucard Sword
8. Moon Rod
9. Fist of Tulkas
10. Yasutsuna or Osafune Katana
Honorary mention: Duplicator and Power of Sire.
Top 5 can can absolutely break the game.
Marsil! Yes!
Couldn't think of that flame sword with the nuke. Gosh, that drop rate was so ridiculously bad... like ring of Varda or Crisaegrim bad.
@@Deverik1981 Yeah the drops can be painful. The Rune Sword from the Dodo Bird can be a bitch. Every year I learn something new about this game. Like equipping all Alucart equipment will boost your luck. Stack it with the luck name code and other luck equipment helps with item drops.
How do I use the weapon abilities?
down, down-right, right + attack
or
left, right + attack
How did you get so much HP and hearts??!! I'm at the end of the game and all i have is 668 HP and a little over 225 heart max.. Please share with me your secret?
I marked out over getting Masamune do hard
Heaven Sword?
Double Rune Sword
❤
Just realizing that the developers were Silmarillion fans
There was a lot of Tolkien weapons or Tolkien inspired items in the game, and they were all pretty damn awesome!
@@cocodojo Some of them weren't meant to be but were made into Tolkein references in the English translation, some of which are rectified later.
But there are actually references to several different books in SotN.
@@mechanomics2649 The translators were definitely having fun then. But as Dracula would have said "Enough talk, now make me a new one!"
needs more Marsil
Dual Chakrum
mourneblade and grissaegrim broken
ugh where are the dual chakrams?
I never liked this weapon, but you're probably the 2nd person to mention it.
@@3dhYT so much fun tho xx
Yasutsuna
This and 2 ring of Aries makes it the best weapon in the game hands down. Yeah it's 2 handed, but if you alternate button presses it's 4x faster than the crisagrim. It seems to get critical hit way more often than any other weapon. Ps. You can use it while moving.
I like marsil
Bro where is the Holy Rod
Where it belongs, i.e. in your heart 😉
How can I do the weapon special move?
down, down-right, right + attack
or
left, right + attack
@@3dhYT thanks a lot
Marsil is my favorite weapon easy
1. Alucard sword
THANK YOU BRO
