tbh I've found the opposite approach to be a lot more successful- the base weapon doesn't matter as much as the monster parts I use. Once you start getting a couple of silver bokoblin horns to fuse with, the weapons system "experience", so to speak, improved a ton. The higher-level monsters become a bit easier to tackle, so it becomes a positive feedback loop after that for better monster parts.

I just wish the silver bokoblin horns didn't look so ridiculous, they work fine, but they definitely don't look the part.
There comes a point where you can just waltz around with silver lynel horns and those look really good.
I think options better than royal weapons are pretty limited. You can find undecayed knight weapons in some areas of the depths which are decent. But it’s mostly about what you fuse to them. Mighty zonaite weapons can also be OK if you fuse powerful zonaite things to them, like the flux core 3 or captain IV horn.
You can also try to get tricky with special effects, like using the zora weapons and splash fruit, or getting armor with bone proficiency and fusing a bone.
That said I haven’t finished the game yet so there may be more I haven’t discovered yet!
Where van I get a cap 4 horn. I heard of something late game sounding called the gloom sword, am I aiming too high? I need something with a base better than 20
Captain construct 4 drops them. If you kill enough monsters they will evolve into those. Or I heard there might be one or two on the islands leading up to the water temple.
I think gloom sword has the best attack power in the game but it also afflicts you with gloom when you hit stuff with it. It can have some niche uses but I wouldn’t make it my main weapon. Also you have to kill phantom ganon to get it so depends how you feel about that.
I killed a phantom ganon but I need more hearts to properly use the gloom stuff
One approach would be to find the bargainer statues and get the Depths(?) armor set (the armor set with Gloom resistance). Additionally/alternatively use gloom resistance potion/food.
Gloom weapons have pretty bad durability, I honestly prefer royal weapons.
Commenting to follow the discussion. Hopefully someone has good advice.
