00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays.
00:07Today, we're looking at the rarest items in every single Souls game.
00:11Be warned, there may be spoilers ahead.
00:18Before we begin, we publish new content all week long, so be sure to subscribe and ring
00:23the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
00:26Pure Bladestone Demon's Souls
00:35FromSoftware's first Souls game didn't manage to perfect the formula, however, it was still
00:40a well-received game and paved the way for the genre.
00:43It still featured some basic RPG mechanics, like upgrading your weapons.
00:46For sharp weapons, you'll need to collect Bladestone Ore.
00:50This only gets the item up to plus 4 tier.
00:52To get them to plus 5, which is the max level, you'll need a pure Bladestone.
00:57Its drop rate is frustratingly low, and it's only dropped by black skeletons.
01:01On average, it's got a 0.5% drop rate.
01:05If you're hoping to farm it, max out your rare item drop.
01:08Otherwise, it could take you hours.
01:10Black World Tendency is responsible for this statistic.
01:13Since sharp weapons are best for a dexterity build, it's certainly worth the grind, given
01:17that dexterity is generally the most overpowered stat.
01:27Symbol of Avarice Dark Souls
01:36The first Dark Souls game has its fair share of rare items and enemies.
01:40For example, the Vagrants are the rarest enemies in any Souls game.
01:43They spawn in response to lost bloodstains or items, and will spawn in another player's
01:48world.
01:49They have a good and evil variation, with the evil one hopping between worlds if a player
01:52can't beat it.
01:53Of all the hard-to-get items, we believe the Symbol of Avarice takes the top spot.
01:58It has a 0.1% drop rate from Mimic Chest, a non-respawning enemy.
02:03There are also only four Mimics in the game, so you can't farm it like other items.
02:08One way you can cheese it is by using the Lloyd's Talisman to put them to sleep, letting
02:12you grab an item.
02:14Thankfully, killing all four Mimics guarantees the drop, but they're spread across the entire
02:18game.
02:23Pickaxe Dark Souls 2
02:31This might be the most controversial Souls game, given it's the only one Miyazaki didn't
02:36direct.
02:37Its rarest item is easily the Pickaxe.
02:39This is because how you acquire it is so completely random that it makes no sense how anyone even
02:44discovered it in the first place.
02:46To get it, you've gotta find a pig at the Royal Army Campsite Bonfire, then lure it
02:51through Brightstone Cove Seldora all the way to the end of the level.
02:55Your goal is the room with hidden ceiling spiders, which has a patch of mushrooms on
02:59the ground.
03:00Now, simply watch the pig gobble up the mushrooms, and you'll be given your prize, a Pickaxe.
03:05It's not particularly difficult to acquire if you know how, but without someone telling
03:09you, how would anyone find this?
03:10It's a complete mystery how anyone found it in the first place.
03:18Ring of Betrothal Bloodborne
03:28This is one of FromSoftware's two most unique Souls games, which includes chalice dungeons
03:33for players to enjoy.
03:34These are randomly generated dungeons featuring random bosses and loot.
03:39The difficulty scales with depth, with 5 being the hardest.
03:42If you're looking to get the Ring of Betrothal, this is where you'll need to be.
03:45It's got an exceptionally low drop rate, and the chalice dungeons are entirely optional,
03:50making it one of the game's most obscure items.
03:52Is it worth finding though?
03:54Well, all it can be used for is proposing to Annalise, ruler of the Vileblades.
03:59This will give you some special dialogue where the Queen politely refuses your offer.
04:03Other than this, it doesn't really do anything.
04:06The chalice dungeons are still great fun, and their final boss Yharnam Thumerian Queen
04:10drops the rare Yharnam Stone, which surprisingly does even less than the Ring.
04:21Eleonora Dark Souls 3
04:35Next on the list, we have the mighty axe Eleonora.
04:38It drops from only one enemy, the first monstrosity of Sin to aggro you in the Profaned Capital.
04:44These foes are powerful, able to one hit you and even swallow you whole.
04:48It's quite niche, usually needing someone else to tell you how to get it, hence many
04:52players will never encounter it in their playthrough.
04:55While other weapons have low drop rates, on a blind playthrough, this might be the hardest.
04:59It has decent damage, but poor scaling.
05:02On the bright side, it has a larger range than most axes, making it an excellent choice
05:06for crowd control.
05:08Another rare item worth mentioning is the Proof of a Concord Kept, which can take hours
05:12of farming to obtain, being only acquired through PvP or from Silver Knights with a
05:161% drop rate.
05:23Dengu Skin
05:24Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
05:35Many believe Sekiro features FromSoftware's best designed combat system.
05:39It's also their most unique game, straying from the standard Souls-like RPG mechanics.
05:44While there are crafting materials to find that can upgrade your Shinobi prosthetic,
05:49it has the fewest collectibles in a Souls game.
05:51Regardless of this, it includes some particularly tough-to-acquire skins.
05:55These three outfits were added in its free update.
05:58While the Flaming Shura Skin is easily the best looking one, the Dengu Skin is the hardest
06:03to acquire.
06:04To unlock it, you must complete the Severance Gauntlet of Strength.
06:07It's essentially a boss rush, pitting you against the game's five hardest bosses.
06:11Guardian Ape, Great Shinobi Owl, Corrupted Monk, Genichiro, Way of the Moi, and finally,
06:17Inner Isshin.
06:18Isshin is infamous for its difficulty, but Inner Isshin is a whole new level of pain,
06:23making it undoubtedly the hardest item to acquire.
06:33Penetrator Armor Set, Demon's Souls Remake
06:42To the surprise of many fans, the Demon's Souls Remake includes an item even rarer than
06:47the pure Bladestone.
06:49It sounds pretty simple to get.
06:50Just give Sparkly the Crow 26 Ceramic Coins in return for a Rusted Key.
06:55This will let you open a hidden door, letting you take the armor.
06:58The main difficulty comes from finding 26 Ceramic Coins.
07:02In the game, players have found a total of 13, and they're all hidden in breakable items.
07:07So it requires two playthroughs to unlock, and is mainly cosmetic.
07:11It's the armor worn by Penetrator, a particularly epic boss from the game.
07:15This sword can also be found with much less difficulty, letting you complete the Penetrator
07:19look.
07:20Wearing it is a badge of honor, essentially serving as a status symbol for the most hardcore
07:24Demon's Souls enjoyers, making it more than worth the grind for some.
07:35Halyx Tree Crest Greatshield, Elden Ring
07:46FromSoftware's largest game has its fair share of low drop rate items.
07:50While some have rates as low as 0.5%, the rarest item drops 4% of the time.
07:56At first glance, you'd expect there to be loads of rarer items.
07:59However, this shield is special.
08:02It's only dropped from one specific Halyx Tree knight who hangs about outside a church
08:06near Elphail.
08:07Other knights appear to carry the shield, but they won't drop it.
08:10So is there anything special about it other than its rarity?
08:13Well, it has the highest holy resistance in the game.
08:16If you're struggling with the final boss, try this.
08:19It'll make them an absolute breeze.
08:21It has room for an Ashes of War as well, if you feel like infusing it.
08:25It's also one of the game's best looking shields, pairing wonderfully with a paladin aesthetic.
08:30Which item was the hardest for you to obtain?
