In-game description

A curved sword with a single-sided blade.

Delivers slashing attacks with its sharp blade, but is ineffective against thick armor and hides covered in tough scales.

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Deathtouched Catacombs

  1. From Saintsbridge in northern Limgrave, follow the road west uphill. Before the roadside camp, take the slope on your right to the higher cliffside ledge.
  2. Look for the double doors with a seated spirit beside them. Open the doors, go inside Deathtouched Catacombs and activate the grace.
  3. Descend toward the sealed boss door, then take the stairs to the left into the skeleton rooms. Hit fallen skeletons again while they begin glowing to stop them reassembling.
  4. Defeat the skeletons carrying curved swords, including the sword-and-shield carriers. Strike their glowing remains before they rebuild themselves, then collect any dropped loot.
  5. Rest at the entrance grace and repeat. The sword is a random enemy drop; the boss and the Uchigatana corpse are separate rewards.

Notes

  • With Standard affinity, physical damage scales most strongly with Dexterity, with weaker Strength scaling.
  • Upgrade it with Smithing Stones. Its maximum upgrade is +25.
  • Can use compatible Ashes of War. Your choice of skill and the whetblades you've found determine which affinities you can apply.
  • Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs.
  • Requires 7 Strength and 13 Dexterity and weighs 3. It is lighter than Shamshir, which weighs 3.5, but its shorter blade gives up some reach.
  • Its one-handed and two-handed light chains share Shamshir's flowing steps. The extra forward movement helps close a small gap; it does not give the weapon a special bleed effect.
  • Starts with Spinning Slash. The opening spin costs 6 FP, with another 12 FP for the follow-up input. Leave room for the follow-up rather than spending all your stamina on the opening attack.
  • Warrior starts with two copies, while the Twin Maiden Husks sell one for 600 runes regardless of class. Other classes can farm another from eligible curved-sword skeletons.
  • The skeleton drop chance is 2% at 100 Item Discovery. Archer skeletons are not the targets for this sword, and the weapon has no innate Blood Loss.
