I didn't realize this till most of the way through my first playthrough, and then looking around at the weapons on here, but did you notice we don't have flail weapons? For those that don't know, the basic idea of a flail is a metal weight, like a spiked ball, or club, at the end of a chain that connects to a handle. Its like the medieval version of a nunchuck or one of those ninja weapons with the sickle on a chain.

But point being, its always one of my favorite weapon types to use in games or in D&D stuff. What bugs me though is that the game didn't just leave this weapon type out of our hands, but some foes actually have them. As I was saying, I realized this when I was going through Door of Pharros area the first time. There are two guys that are sitting with back turned to you, Real easy to back stab and finish off before they get up if your weapon does enough damage. Well when one got up and came after me that's when I noticed his weapon, its a flail (sorta). The guy has an anvil tied to a chain attached to a handle that he swings around. When I saw this I was excited, since pretty much up to this point in the game just about every weapon that foes have exists as weapon drops in the game. So I cleard this zone out till they didn't spawn anymore. Used a bonefire thing, then did it again. (I was wearing various item drop gear on as well, and using all my rusted coins.) I did this through 3 full clears and then looked around online before I realized this weapon wasn't available. Its really the only let down about a weapon in the game I can't get so far.

So yeah, anybody else wish we had flails or what are some other weapons, specifics or types, you wish we had? Though don't start naming every other ninja or Japanise weapon there is. Its understandable those are not in the game as they don't really fit the setting. Which is weird we have katanas. They really don't fit compaired to everything else. They just kinda stand out to me.
