Straight Sword Hilt is a Weapon in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. Straight Sword Hilt is the most basic starter weapon, useful for parry practice and dealing minimal harm due to its extremely low damage output. 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 hilt of this lost sword was found discarded in the Undead Asylum."
"Only slightly better than one's bare hands, and not recommended for extensive use. Be certain to find a replacement quickly."

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

The weapon every newly created character starts with, equipped in right hand.
Can only be obtained once per character, unless dropped by another player in co-op. It cannot be farmed, found on a corpse, or generated when starting a New Game plus.

Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered Hints and Tips:

Can be given to Kingseeker Frampt to receive 50 Souls.
The lightest weapon of all Straight Swords, which has 1.0 weight compared to Broken Straight Sword's 2.0 weight. It also has less range and deals significantly less damage than the Broken Straight Sword.
The best weapon while unupgraded to use if one were to practice parrying against various foes without killing them too fast, or at all.
Can be upgraded to +10 and later ascended with the Soul of Sif to make the uncursed version of Greatsword of Artorias. Although, it is better to use the readily available Broken Straight Sword for that instead.
