Carthus Shotel | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

where to farm

Submit

Not great, but viable in PVP at SL120. Your best bet is a hollow gem with min strength 12 with 40/40 or40/50 dex/luck. You get very little damage going from 40 to 50 luck, but you get a bit of extra bleed build up. Works fine but is basically just a worse straight sword on dex/quality build with respective infusions. Useful against Havel Monsters I suppose. 7/10, mostly for style points and because I'm bored of straight swords.

Isn't this (infusions aside) technically a direct upgrade to the Carthus Curved Sword?
Shield pierce sounds pretty useful.

Carthus Shotel uses the same moveset as the CCS, it does not share the moveset of the Scimitar. The Shotel has a kick.

"riddle me this"

It’s a flippin’ khopesh, I don’t care if it’s good, ITS A KHOPESH!!!!

Submit

i have the carthus shotel to +10, dunno how, but i can actually raise the bleeding from 30 to 60, would it be worth it ? would it be alot easier to cause bleeds ? not really on expert on that tbh

thanks in advance

I just had the best idea ever: I'm going to make a Sly Cooper cosplay with this.

I feel like this weapon doesn't get nearly enough love. I hardly ever see it in PvP, but the combination of shield pierce, bleed buildup, multi-hit weapon art and a good chasedown moveset makes it absolutely melt players who are hiding behind shields. My SL60 Dex build runs with this in the mainhand and Great Corvian Scythe in the offhand (for even more shield pierce and bleed with a lot more reach), and it has a very consistent win rate against sword-and-board players. Just remember that some medium shields can parry, so don't spam R1s.

Submit

Good for one thing: cosplaying as a Dothraki/Khal Drogo.

Submit

I saw a lot of people compare this and carthus curved sword. It is simple, CCS for dex build with a touch of bleed, CS is good for quality dex/luck due to the B scaling!

Submit

Only has 30 bleed not 33.

Submit

Everybody gangsta till the sharp question mark starts killing

Submit

Please just kick or use stance... turtlers deserve to be ended rightly, not plinked to death

Submit

It looks also like the Assyrian sword sapara

Submit

almost the most obscure weapon in the game.

Submit

Does the bleed build up better along side the shield pierce?

Submit

So... did this weapon recieve the same nerf as the CCS and FS ?

Submit

Good damage and respectable reach for such a fast weapon AND it has bleed. Use this if you love turtle soup like I do.

Submit

50 dex + dark or chaos infusion makes it one of the best weapons you could ever ask for as a hexer/pyromancer. Not only is the damage fantastic, the weapon skill on it, when used as a follow up for a normal swing, can hit for around 800-900 damage. Oh and the shield damage on it is pretty good. 1 swing against even the mightiest of shields will still do at least 75 damage. (2 swings without a shield will normally hit in the 500-600 range.)

My only problem with the weapon is that doesn't look all too great but eh, the range on it makes up for it.

Submit

Now it is just the R2s on the Shotels that ignore shields, is that correct?

Submit

lot more reach than the barbed ss. me like :)

Submit

This or the barbed straight sword for a bleed/hollow build?

Submit

find skeletons with this weapon, just on the left corridor, after the down stairs on the left, by the rolling skeleton ball from Catacombs of catrhus bonfire.

Submit

Can this parry when used in your offhand?

Submit

Log Entry #436: I've been farming the Carthus Shotel for about 20 years now. I promised my wife and kids I would come back, however I don't think i'll make it. Tell them I love them.

Submit

Is it worth it to infuse that thing with Crystal if you go for a 60 int, 40 dex build?

Submit

If you leave this un-infused and buff it with crystal magic weapon, with about 50 int it can do some pretty substantial damage for a pure caster.

Submit

Egyptian?

Submit

I have been trying to farm this weapon for about an hour and a half and it won't drop, is the drop rate low or something or am I just unlucky

Submit

Both are infuse able and can be buffed. At 45 Dex and 16 strength the car this curved sword does 212+169 damage sharpened while this shotel only does 196+161 damage. The curved sword is also faster and has more range with a slight advantage on the bleed stat. The shotel is lighter by 2.5 pounds and takes one less fp to do its skill, which is the same. So I would only use this if I didn't have the curved sword. Plus the curved sword I found to be easier to farm. Curved sword wins every time.

Submit

The carthus curved sword is better in every stat except weight and the shotel uses one less fp point...

Submit

Which bonfire is the quickest to find the shotel wielding skeletons? I was able to farm both the Carthus Curved Sword and Greatsword fairly quickly going in from the Abyss Watcher Bonfire, but I can't seem to find the shotel wielding ones

Submit

This little beast has carried me through most of my first playthrough, definitely recommended for a dex build. Only downside is it requires a lot of patience to get.

Submit

I wish we could use the dual wield carthus shotels those skeletons use that has the same skill as the dw katanas

Submit

Is this weapon good? I know carthus curved sword is *****ing beast, but how is this shotel version doing ?

Submit

The best place I found for farming for it is near the catacombs of carthus bonfire. From there, take a left and down the stairs where the rats are (if you're quick enough you can sprint through without having to stop and wait for the skeleton ball) after that, take a left and there's a guy with one, after him, take the stairs to the right and there is another one (you have to kill him twice) and then keep going down that way to find a third on dual wielding the shotels (I don't know if his drop rate is any different, but it doesn't seem like it). I also found out that the skeleton ball will break after slamming into the wall too many times, don't know if that info is on here or not, but just in case.

Submit

Can it parry if is offhand?

Submit

hi therebase damage for +10 sharp/heavy is 186 (NOT 196)tested 27th april 2016

Submit

Does anybody know what kind of moveset this has? Hope it handles like other curved swords...

Submit

Whats the scaling when infused dark +10

Submit

In the description its said to bypass shields, but nothing is mention elsewhereany informations on that?

Submit

I'll need to get a second one, as I totally blanked on writing down info as I was building it up.Obnoxious to get, though. Took me a good half hour to farm for it.

Submit

I can't get the sword to drop for the life of me, is it even real?

Was able to Crystal Infuse it, Dex goes to D, Int goes to C. Mine is +4 with B Int scaling, though I'm not sure when it received that.
