What is better than the Drake Sword?

Your best options are probably Zweihaender, Man Serpent Greatsword, Black Knight Axe, Gargoyle Halberd or Claymore. And upgrade that stuff, pronto. The difference between a unupgraded and a +5 is massive, nevermind +10 or +15, which is why all your weapons seem so bad compared to Drake Sword.
