Crystal Upgrades | Dark Souls Wiki

Just dupe crystal +5 weapons so the durability is not an issue.

Seeing the differences between +15 and +5 Crystal, I’ve come to realize that’s it’s not THAT amazing. You gain around 20 extra raw damage, but your weapon can’t be repaired. As what most of the comments imply, use these exclusively on bosses, and maybe get a +15 version of the same weapon for general use

i personally think that crystal shields are very worth it, even with the durability loss you will have to try really hard to get it to break, usually you only block one attack here or there, it wont break nearly as fast as a weapon would. also having more stability makes a huge huge difference, it depends on the shield ofc, but some shields get really good if turned crystal.

What if a fully upgraded crystal weapon is broken? Does it become unusable?

Saved my crystal weapons for invaders exclusively. It's like bringing out fine china for the guests

There is a Crystal Halbert on a mimic chest guarded by 2 sentinels next to the smough statue in anor londo, to the left from the bonefire. You can use that weapon to get the achievement instead of wasting materials in a +10 weapon.

This is one of those things that you hate the fact that it exists. I don't want to use it because I feel it isn't worth the trade off but I don't want to fight it because of all the extra damage

Submit

can you use the item force glitch to repair crystal weapons, or does it have a hard stop somewhere in the code, like trying to invade with a phantom in your world

I imagine people have been abusing this upgrade since the remastered came out as you can rewrite your save file as often as you want

It should be added that the Crystal Straight Sword and Crystal GreatSword you can purchase from Domhnall of Zena are technically not Crystal weapons and cannot be reinforced. It must be a +10 weapon or shield that's been upgraded to Crystal. I'm trying for the max reinforce achievement and it took me awhile to figure out why it wasn't showing up when I spoke to the Giant Blacksmith.

With Crystal Weapons you want to limit their use and finish enemies as efficiently as possible.

Try Crystal with weapons with high AR such as Crossbows, weapons with higher durability such as the 3 heavy Demon weapons, any weapon you have in massive stock or weapons you only bring in for occasions such as boss fights and pvp.

Most Shields can do well with Crystal, but do not use them in your main hand since attacking and blocking together will consume their durability fast.

So putting crystal upgrades on weapons such as the estoc, claymore or halberd is a really dumb f*cking idea since you can only get one of these weapons? Got it.

Is this good on demons greataxe for str since it has a high durability?

Submit

This doesn’t say anything about how much the durability decreases, which is why I came here. I want to do a Quality/Dex build, and I want to know if I should one or two weapons along this path, and how much durability is lost in exchange for the (also unspecified) damage increase. Plz Help.

UPDATE REQUIRED: Note: Crystal Weapons CANNOT BE REVERTED to Normal+10

The fact this page doesnt mention the specific handicap crystal weapons give you as a trade off for their strength really turns me off of this website.

How can I repair my crystal Halberd

Is there a way to descend a crystal weapon? I accidentally crystallized my claymore, and I want it back.
