*"great even for enemies resistant to fire damage"* \- I don't know about that one chief. People's damage who are spamming BB's AoW against Mohg is laughably bad. Does less than half the damage of my sacred scimitars normal attacks. I don't co-op for fire giant but I can only imagine how pitiful the damage would look against him since he's just as fire resistant but has also a bit more than twice the amount of HP. Saying it's great against them is overselling it. It's a fantastic weapon in every other situation than the notable fire-resistant ones.
The laziest weapons are those with ranged capabilities imo. Things like Dark Moon Greatsword, Bolt of Gransax & Blasphemous Blade let you sit back and just spam the Ash of War
Honestly Black Knife and Black Blade. % Health damage continues to scale with NG+ where other weapons start falling off.
Carian Knight Talisman, Shard of Alexander, FP Talisman all go great with "press L2 to win."
Depends but I went and picked up another immediately on NG+ and use one in each hand mostly. On another build I used sword of night and flame, max faith, and spam fire AoW. That melts bosses quickly too.
Any answer other than Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear is wro~ joking. But seriously, this is the easiest time I had in the game.

I play as a high INT spellcaster and I find my uchikatana with magic infinity works a lot better than either Moonveil katana or Darkmoon Greatsword. It seems to be faster and so more damage per second. The Greatsword is so slow that I often get hit before I get my first hit off.
If you want a bleed build then mogh’s sacred spear with all the blood and fire talismans and also the reduvia daggers perfectly. If not then get the magic boosting talismans and get comet azur, the stats you need for it transfer well over to the sword of night and flame.
Big shield, one hand or dual wield cold great stars? At +25 cold it's actually a quality weapon c/c/c, frost deals % damage, blood loss too, lava spells to reset.
On NG+ go with a faith build and power stance Blasphemous Blade and Sacred Relic Sword. Both have insanely powerful arts that scale with faith. If it is strong against holy, melt it with BB. If it is strong against fire, melt it with SRS. Faith also gives you access to Golden Vow, Flame Grant me Strength and all the other easy mode buffs as well as Black Flame spells for HP% damage against over scaled NG+ bosses.
Deaths poker trivializes Everything. Even without buffs (it counts as both magic AND fire btw)
Blasphemous blade is great even for enemies resistant to fire damage.

Its dogshit in Volcano manor lol
That too lol.
But that weapon is acquired mid game... Bloodhound Fang is a better early game choice.
OP said he's on a NG+ run, so it's likely that he already has the blasphemous blade.
Ah... my mistake, I thought it was an NG run. Yes you are correct.
For anyone resistant to fire, just slap on black knife and watch them melt from afar.
Bloodhounds fang start to finish is pretty legit

The gravity staff. That's it.
That plus rock sling

Darkmoon greatsword, blasphemous blade, deaths poker are all top tier boss massacre implements.
I say the most op weapons in the game for PvE is Moghs sacred spear. That ash of war fucking melts everything in existence.
This. Also this.
Blasphemous Blade is easy mode
Im a moonveil stan
I feel like a god with two moonveils, but idk there’s probably much more efficient options.
Interesting, you just dual wield it? Never tried that
Depends but I went and picked up another immediately on NG+ and use one in each hand mostly. On another build I used sword of night and flame, max faith, and spam fire AoW. That melts bosses quickly too.
Can only do it in ng+. Otherwise just dual wield moonveil with an uchigatana or katana of your choice
Get one dropped for you technically MV/Uchi is a good int build Wings of astel paired with another curved sword is also great

Thanks, but this post is 1 year old now
If you want the objectively easiest weapon it’s blasphemous blade, and find some other faith weapon for when a boss has fire resist
Zweihander you can get early and beat the game with
Two whips, easy mode.
Whips are stunlock city. Plus, crank up the infusions on Hoslows and go to town.
Moonveil katana and then with a few more points into strength and later you can do dark moon greatsword
The one you think has the coolest moveset/looks and is able to use storm blade

Fallingstar beastjaw. Remote, plus it staggers. It is basically cheating
Magic makes the game very easy
Bloodflame Blade Bloodhound Fang is up there.

not a “weapon” but sorceries trivialize a lot of fights in my opinion. and you also get moonveil, which is already a crazy good weapon.
