Parrying dagger is a Weapon in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. Parrying Dagger is a specialized off-hand blade designed for follow-up attacks after a successful parry. Daggers are swift, precise weapons with a short reach, ideal for close-quarters combat. Their rapid attacks allow players to weave in successive strikes to stagger foes while maintaining the mobility to dodge. Typically featuring high critical damage and good Dexterity scaling, daggers are versatile enough to be wielded in the left hand, where they can also be used to Parry incoming attacks.

This dagger is useful after parrying and is normally equipped in the left hand."
"A favorite of the knights of Carim, who are famous for fighting without a shield."
