There are two NPCs in Dark Souls 2 who are able to provide you with very special variations on existing weapons in the game. There's a price to pay, however, and you need to obtain a soul from a particular boss to unlock each one. Here's who you need to talk to, and what you need to bring them, in order to get your hands on every single boss weapon in Dark Souls 2.

Straid's boss weapons

You'll find Straid just above the bridge that leads from the Lost Bastille to Sinner's Rise. You won't be able to talk to him until you've unpetrified him with a Fragrant Branch of Yore, however. When you've revived Straid, make sure you light the bonfire just behind him so you can dart back easily whenever you have a new soul to trade in.

Ornifex's boss weapons

You'll find Ornifex deep underground in the Shaded Ruins region of Dark Souls 2. You'll need to free her first, however, and to do that you'll have to get your hands on a Fang key. Simply use a Fragrant Branch of Yore on the statue by the bonfire in the Shaded Ruins, then kill the monster that spawns to get the key.

Once you've freed Ornifex, keep talking to her until you've worked through all of her dialogue trees. After that, she'll set up a new home in Brightstone Cove Tseldora. Make your way to the Lower Brightstone Cove bonfire, then take a left and walk through the door to find her.
