Curved sword of Carthus swordsmen.
This weapon's thick, heavy blade is crafted to cause bleeding, and requires ample strength and dexterity to wield effectively, suggesting that the swordsmen of Carthus were amongst the mightiest.
Skill: Spin Slash
Slice into foes with a large spinning motion, and continue spinning to transition into strong attack.
Notes and Tips:
- Can be Buffed and Infused
- Reinforced with Titanite
- Uses slightly more stamina per swing than most other Curved Swords. Most noticeable when two-handing.
Location/Where to Find
- Dropped by Skeletons using them in Catacombs of Carthus.
- Easily farmed by taking the Catacombs of Carthus bonfire. Go straight and wait for the skeleton ball to go by, go right towards where the ball came from then quickly left. There are 2 skeletons that spawn here with the sword.
