Barbed Straight Sword is a Weapon in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. Barbed Straight Sword is a thrust-only straight sword that inflicts severe bleed buildup, making it effective against enemies weak to bleeding. Straight Swords offer a balance of power and reach, trading the raw speed of daggers for heavier, more impactful strikes. Their slower swing is compensated by a longer range and the ability to hit multiple opponents with a single, broad motion.

"The choice weapon of the infamous Darkwraith Kirk, also known as the Knight of Thorns for the gnarly spikes on his favorite weapon.
This frightful sword deals only thrust attacks, and causes heavy bleeding."

How to Get / Where to Find the Barbed Straight Sword in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered

• ‍Possible drop from Kirk, Knight of Thorns in any of his three encounters.‍

Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered Hints and Tips:

• Can be given to Kingseeker Frampt to receive 50 Souls.
• The only straight sword that inflicts bleed. Even with high stat investment the weapon's damage will be fairly low, but still a passable choice against targets weak to bleed.
• Bleed build up is 33 per strike, and once inflicted will tear 30% of the opponents HP.
• This sword would reappear in Dark Souls 3.
