Aquamarine Dagger is a Weapon in Dark Souls 3. It is part of The Ringed City DLC.
A dagger fitted with aquamarine crystal.
Engraved with a prayer in the old tongue to ward off incident. Perhaps it was a parting gift given to one sent off on great travels.Skill: Crystal Blade
Release magic for the aquamarine crystals, creating a fleeting blue crystal blade, lengthy enough to swing as a straight sword.
Notes and Tips:
- Cannot be Infused or Buffed
- Reinforced with Twinkling Titanite.
- All weapons have motion values assigned to each attack, which are modifiers to AR that are associated with the attack being used.
- The Aquamarine Dagger has a motion value of 300 on backstab, 360 on riposte, and 60 + 350 on Hornet Ring riposte. The motion value of a backstab with a dagger does not change with Hornet Ring.
- This means that aside from a difference in AR, no infusion is strictly better for ripostes, as all infusions will get the same motion value, with the only difference being AR. Use whatever infusion will net the most damage for the best results.
- The Aquamarine Dagger has a range of 25.5161xl on the 1h R1 and 28.4497xl on the 2h R1, and 19sp on the WA Stance R1.
- sp, or Shield Pokes, are a unit of measurable distance to determine the range of a weapon. Certain actions create different distances from a wall, allowing one to test the range of certain attacks. While this testing isn't 100% accurate, it is a very good indicator of the ranges of each attack.
- As per unit of the coordinate system, 10xl=“one unit”, however the testing of this is in its infancy and we only have 1h and 1h R1 data currently.
- The stats make this weapon an amazing choice for an int/dex build.
- The Weapon Art has a full moveset and significant reach, slightly exceeding the Shortsword while maintaining dagger speeds. Furthermore, the R2 can rollcatch easily. In the right hands, this weapon is a force to be reckoned with.
- However, the Farron Ring doesn't offer any benefit due to the low cost of the Weapon Art. A simple-infused Weapon Skill shield is a good pairing, however.
Softcaps & Scaling:
- 2 Handed Stats:
- 7/14/18 = 269 AR = Base Stats & Str Softcap
- 28/14/18 = 278 AR
- 40/14/18 = 279 AR
- 7/14/41 = 307 AR = Int Softcap
- 7/41/18 = 312 AR = Dex Softcap
- 7/40/40 = 349 AR = Combined Softcap
- After Softcaps it gets less than 1 AR per level
- Int/Dex weapon
- Scales reasonably well with both stats
- 1.6 AR per level up to 41 Dex
- 1.7 AR per level up to 41 Int
- Very poor Strength scaling
Location/Where to Find
- The Ringed City: From The Dreg Heap bonfire, head forwards and drop down. Head across the bridge and immediately turn left. Head forwards and up the spiral staircase. Head up the next set of stairs towards the Harold Legion and he will drop down. The Aquamarine Dagger is on a pile of rubble behind where he stood: Video Example

I upgraded this on my 40/60 DEX/INT build, not knowing what to expect. This thing is ridiculously good, I tested it in Archdragon Peak on NG+, and it two-shots the lesser men-serpent and deals over 1200 damage to the big ones on critical hits. It's amazing for a sorcerer, can't recommend enough.

Hello DS3 player, I am come to you for a little favour, and I will carry this message to everywhere in DS3 community.
There is a glitch that allows you to summon white sign mad phantom in Gael’s Arena (Credit to Dashingsaint), if you keep Shira alived while she invade you (you can escape her simply sprint out her aggro range), you won’t trigger gael boss cutscene, and then you could put down you purple summon white sign or summon other white purple.
Thus, a new fight club is founded, an arena in a long lost dessert under the sunset sky which sprinkle with fainted galaxy.
If you’re watching this, kindly please help me share this and invite any ds3 enthusiast you known to this new fight club, your little effort would be much appreciated.
SL25+2, SL40+4, SL60+6, SL72+8, SL90+10, SL125 Meta, SL 351++, all SL range are acceptable.
Welcome to the Gael’s Sunset Arena, the most beautiful map in the entire series, the last arena at the End of World.
I will await you there, in the End of the World, and we shall fight eternal, shiny and incandescence.
LONG MAY THE DARK SOULS COMMUNITY LIVE

The comment about Farron Ring not affecting the weapon is incorrect. While the WA R1 and WA R2 don't gain benefits from the ring, you can use running and rolling WA attacks, which do cost 8 fp by default, in turn making the Farron Ring usable. Is it a good idea? No, just pointing out that it technically has a use.

This thing has standard critical damage yet, when I backstabbed some hollows it seems like it did more damage that it should. Do daggers have more backstab damage in general to other weapons or am I missing something? I didn't use any buffs or Hornet Ring, just tested it and it does like the equal ammount
of damage my Drakeblood GS does when backstabbing.

The WA stamina consumption is atrocious. Plus, you basically need a 40/40 Dex/Int build. Then a ton of Endurance, Ring of Favor +3 and Prisoner's Chain. Then you also need Attunement to utilize sorceries.
Seems purely a 125 build weapon?

My only probmem with this weapon is the color. Why isn't there a ruby dagger with fire damage? Or a gold dagger with lightning damage?
Anyway, 9/10. It's a dagger versatile and solid enough to use as a main weapon.

Could it be? A weapon page that PKCS guy hasn't commented on yet? Amazing, this is a miracle
- Anonymous
if you manage to guard break someone with the WA you can follow up with two WA R2s which deals quite a bit of damage due to the WA dealing thrust damage or just the guard breaking effect (or both we)

Whenever two people wielding aquamarine duel, they'll both always WA at the same time and slowly walk towards eachother. Advancing towards the most badas* duel in their lives. A sight to behold

WA attacks can't be parried unless you have a shield with spell parry on it.
Thought it was important to note.

Are there any reliable methods to countering this weapon? As rare as I see it in PvP, those rare moments feel like I am handing my a** to them on a silver platter. It's so quick and can make my healthbar go from full to zero in just mere seconds.

what a cool weapon and looks awesome. Too bad the mechanics ruin it. Using the WA makes you slow walk for some reason, and if you dodge roll you have to wait for a few moments after your roll before the WA will re-activate. So if you're against a shield using enemy, the window of opportunity to strike after you dodge their attack is too short to wait for the WA to re-activate. If you strike before it re-activates, you will be using the normal dagger attacks.
I guess I can keep it around for the aesthetics, but it's pretty useless in combat.

Easily one of, if not the, best daggers. The WA has retarded reach and damage. So easy to combo. Only competitor is the corvian greatknife with it's insane forward reach on it's shield piercing WA.

Absolute Garbage in Pvp. Dont even attempp using it unless you are a masochist.

Just try not to spam R1, or you’ll get poised and destroyed. Use this with Crescent moon sword and poke them with CSM WA. 2 WA R2 is guaranteed, dealing 450ish damage. It’s the only true combo that AqDgr has.
Hi there! I have a few questions, what does "WA" mean? I assume "Weapon Art" but I want to confirm. In turn does the activation of the weapon art cost FP or is it attack when its activated cost FP? I really appreciate any help!

Does anyone know about what the AR increase that the Weapon Art gives to this weapon? I want to use this on my future Sorcerer (17/20/50, the extra point in strength to be able to one-hand the Greatsword of Judgement as well as the Moonlight GS) as a sort of backup weapon but I'd rather know about how much of a damage increase the WA would give me first as without it I only have an AR of 330 with it. If the AR doesn't go to at least 400 with the WA then I probably won't use it.

Anyone who thinks this weapon is anything less than one of, if not THE, top tier dagger just hasn't fought with or against this yet. That WA is devastating, the reach and AR is just SO good, it can't be parried either. This has everything going for it that the Corvian greatknife has, about as much reach on the WAs. Literally just don't touch your r1's, just time your WAs right and you'll get SUCH easy wins.

The full moveset for this weapon is fairly impressive, as it effectively has Bloodborne-style transformation attacks with it's weapon art. From my testing; the WA itself can be used straight out of a roll or sprint to get a unique attack, and you can chain the WA to any two-handed R1 or R2 to get a "transformation" and follow up with the WA-R1/R2s freely.
It may well have the most extensive moveset of any weapon in the game.

Gets way too much*****, it's a decent sidearm for any mage with the dex to use it.

You can use the weapon art with running and rolling attacks. Really cool.
My favourite offhand weapon on my Dex/Int build. WA is insane, it's one of the best weapon to use against Friede infact as it stunlocks the***** out of her.

I really love this for PvP.
40 dex, 45 int. Pair with a weapon art shield & murky longstaff on the left hand.
Spam deep soul & affinity. Use the insanely fast R1s to mash the crap out of people who try to rush you. If they're running away and/or keeping a medium distance from you, use L2R2 to catch up then use the speed and length of L2R1 to catch them down.

I run a Dextelligence Build so when I use Crystal Blade and R1 three times it does somewhere above 950 damage and it is a dagger!

If you're gonna use this it's probably a good idea to equip a shield with right hand weapon art. The weapon art reverts to one hand usage so I don't think you lose any dmg when special attacking. Been having a blast with it paired to the ethereal oak shield.

For a dagger this isn't That bad since it can stunlock for a few hits, only when using the weapon art though
Beating the ringed knights while using this and wearing fallen knight set+force miracles in left hand is really satisfying
