What weapon should I use for the Four Kings?

For the Four Kings, use a high DPS weapon like Quelaag's Furysword, a buffed Painting Guardian Sword, or a strong fire/magic infused weapon, focusing on quick, successive hits to burn them down before more appear, while also using high magic-resistant armor (like Havel's) and the Covenant of Artorias ring. Pyromancy (Great Combustion) and weapon buffs (Gold Pine Resin) are also extremely effective due to their weakness to fire and magic.

What is the best weapon to fight the Four Kings?

The ideal weapon is a Painting Guardian Sword, upgraded as high as you can get it (naturally). The PGS has the highest DPS of any weapon in the game. You're going to want to two-hand it, and then just spam the weak attack.

What are Four Kings weak to?

The Four Kings in Dark Souls are weakest to high-burst damage and elemental affinities like Fire, Lightning, and Magic, but primarily they are a DPS (damage per second) check, meaning you need to kill them fast to prevent more from spawning. Staying close to their bodies minimizes damage from their attacks, and high Poise armor helps tank hits while you unleash heavy attacks, making high DPS weapons or buffed weapons extremely effective, especially with buffs like {!nav}Power Within{/nav}.

Why can't I hit Four Kings?

They're difficult to hit because you have to hit them dead on. I just used the target and it worked out fine. The abyss removes all of your depth perception, so you might think you are hitting them, when in fact they are still out of range.

What is the hardest Dark Souls game?

There's no single consensus, but Dark Souls 3 (DS3) is often cited as the hardest for its faster combat, complex bosses, and less exploitable mechanics on a first playthrough, while some veterans find Dark Souls 2 (DS2) harder due to artificial difficulty from enemy swarms and punishing level design, especially in Scholar of the First Sin (SotFS). Ultimately, difficulty is subjective, depending on playstyle, but DS3's speed and DS2's mob density are frequent complaints.
