Cool weapon.

I don't like this sword because it makes players prone to abuse unintended mechanics in the game such as the rollcatching exploit. And before you say it, no, I won't git gud, I will pull the plug and disconnect because Michaelzaki told me so. He appeared in a dream where I was getting invaded by rabid Bloodborne fans yelling at me for pointing any of its flaws. Michaelzaki then whispered in my ear: "Fear not the change, my friend, touch grace and let the healthy routine begin". This quote impacted me so much that I started to slay the nasty beasts that plagued my depressive habits. Before I realised, I was reborn into a new world full of hope, care and understanding. Thanks Michaelzaki, you reminded me to take my meds.

Hand it over. That thing, your PKCS. For my elden ring dlc.

Submit

You shouldn't PvP if all you can do is R1 spam this ****.

Submit

This weapon better make a return in the Elden Ring DLC or otherwise it will be a total flop

Submit

Any game benefits if it has the PKCS

Submit

I have a theory that PKCSUSER is actually Pontiff in disguise. He doesn't use a PKCS in the fight because he doesn't want us to know it's him. Also the biggest PvP area in the game is literally right outside his door. Coincidence? I THINK NOT

Submit

i use this as my parrying sword

Submit

PKCS clears this weapon

Submit

i ****ing love that pkcs troll posts are just a inside joke on this wiki.

Submit

You will get owned by the PKCS and you will be happy.

DS3 community in a nutshell.

Don't worry, men. it's just a phase. I'll punch the PKCS out of you.

Submit

I just killed Sister Friede with this thing. I thought I'd never beat that bee-otch.

Awesome weapon.

Submit

This is on every weapons page on the elden ring wiki

Submit

This is just so powerful,aside from memes and toxic comment section and nerf.
WA already deals a TON of damage and frost increases it even further.
The range is also good,trading hits with spear users and my attack reaches them first.
Our lord our savior PKCS

This is the greatest PKCS of All Time

THE ever holy PKCS I'd die for
PKCS Pope

Submit

Invaded someone using this, they roll caught me more times than I can count, I then had an aldrich faithful invade with me, we killed him and I spam guard, asserting dominance, invaded them again. I got roll caught, I died. Yea I think I learned my lesson.

Submit

PKCS is one of the weapons of all time

Submit

The demon's scar is better

Submit

Why use the Pontiff Knight Curved Sword when you could use PKCS instead?

Submit

some guy on the manus page of the wiki said cutting his tail off gives this weapon and I didn't get what he meant

Submit

What's good about it? I've never used it.

Submit

“Whats wrong big boy? Never had used a meta weapon to R1 spam before?” - some PKCS user, prolly

Submit

This weapon seems a colander, but has more durability compared to the nodachi

Submit

I really like this weapon, but the Lost Sinner Sword is so far superior

Submit

For DPS it's better using dung pie

Submit

Generally I use this only for blocking attacks, not for harming others

Submit

Pkcs, mace, broken straigh sword... that's a real "dilemma"

Submit

The blade is brittle

Also highest durability among curved swords

This, folks, is why FromSoft are so lovable despite the torment they gave us sometime

Submit

This weapon isn't even that overpowered anymore, but its legacy will never be forgotten

Submit

Murky vs pk is such a great matchup

Submit

Objectively worse Earth Seeker. Debate me on this, I dare you.

Submit

Best single use weapon in the game for duels.

So stat friendly you can easily spare the levels for tears of denial and vitality to wear super heavy armor too. After the curved sword nerfs the weapon class was mostly balanced, but this one kinda slipped through the cracks.

Submit

Imagine using PKCS

Submit

After the end of Dark Souls 2, the world was split into 2 -- PKCS and Murky. This marked the beginning of the era known as the Dark Souls 3 Meta.

Submit

pkcs = you
murky = the guy about whom your gf yells you not to worry

Submit

I must be lucky or something, cuz I never had issues with players in PvP with this weapon. Honestly, I can't really remember facing many people that used this weapon and I played DS3 a lot over the years. Maybe because I was on Xbox, I dunno. For me it was the CCS, in the early days, before bleed was nerfed out of existence and the range was crazy, that gave me problems. Fast weapons that do massive bleed with weapon arts that you cannot parry messed me up a time or two. But I kinda miss them as well. I miss DS3 altogether. Pretty dead these days. Ya'll hear the rumor Bloodborne is getting a full remake?

Submit

the #1 top tier pvp weapon

Submit

Michael Zaki when are we getting a PKCS game?

Submit

It's an okay weapon in the base game, but an amazing weapon you can get early on with the Dark Souls 3 Convergence mod. Playing as a Cryomancer focusing on dark and obviously frost magic, plus buffing it with dark makes it massively strong and you can buy it immediately. Can easily take you through the whole game if you want, although the mod is insanely sick and there are so many incredible weapons to choose from, you'll quickly move on. Highly recommend PC users check this mod out. Can't wait to see what they do to Elden Ring in the years to come.

Submit

This weapon is overrated. The Claymore and The Black Knight sword are better than this meta weapon.

Submit

I know it's good and all but I wish you could do more than r1 and the occasional l2 with this boi

Submit

The florida man's sword

Submit

Overrated

Submit

i miss pkcs guy...

Submit

Meh. Almost as good as the Pontiff Knight Curved Sword.

Submit

I hate when people use items that are relatively useful without even considering if *I* want or know how to play against them. It's like they don't even know how my imaginary rules work

Submit

Ah.. you were at my side all along... my guiding curved sword..
Give me your thing... your twinkling titanite.. for my Pontiff Knight curved sword..

where is the S?

Submit

PKCS cringe. Soldering Iron is the best weapon in the game

Submit

Why can curved swords like Pkcs or sellsword twinblades parry?

Submit

top 10 weapons that beats the pkcs...
number 10 murky hand scythe! this bad boy might look innocent and small to you but you know what they say looks can be deceiving. with 40 dex sharp + 60 fai dark weapon + dark clutch ring youll be doing about 500-550 damage!! in addition this its faster and stunlocks your enemies! murky hand scythe is so terrifying after you teach the pkcs users their lesson they will alt f4 next time they see you!
number 9...

Is this weapon useful for sorcerers?

Submit

"The large blade appears to be eaten away by insects, making it lightweight but also brittle."

"Highest durability of all Curved Swords."

Yeah, right.

Submit

Still waiting for someone modded this beauty into elden ring...

Submit

If I see RKSS Canceler, I just pull this out. It instantly changes my life! Thank You PKCS for making PVP more fun. SHOUT OUT To Those PKCS Guys out there! Keep killing those pesky Gankers with those Whiff Punish and Roll Catches.

To any latecomers curious about this weapon's notorious legacy:

The PKCS is, all things told, not even that crazy powerful. Curved swords are quite good in DS3, particularly in PvP, and PK has just enough little incremental advantages to be considered arguably the best, and for that, it was very popular. It has the longest range, the preferred 'light' scimitar moveset rather than the 'heavy' falchion one, and uses less stamina per swing than Carthus Curved Sword. No, Elden Ring players, its weapon skill has very little to do with its power profile, though it is a fine L2 as they go in this game. Basically, if someone toasts your buns with this, they could probably do it with any other curved sword, but if they barely eke out the win, you can blame the PKCS's marginal privileges.

Never use this weapon
Only use fist like me.

Seriously, this "copypasta" thing in general is beyond played-out. It's such a tired schtick at this point that you can stop reading them after a couple words, so why even take the time out of your day to try to force some unfunny meme? You already posted it a dozen times, am I supposed to laugh harder with every mindless comment? Do you smirk to yourself in delight as you type "pkcs good casul!!1!" or are you just drooling all over your Mickey Mouse bib, expressionless, like the rest of your life? Most of the weapons in these games are obviously interchangeable in terms of 'viability,' and I use that term very loosely, because you can beat every boss & some players bare-handed using a dance mat if you have the time & patience. I guess to be fair, at the very least, anyone with a few hours in a Souls game will know there can be stark power differences between weapons because of how much better The Crescent Axe is than everything else, you'd really have to be the most ignorant urine-stained brainlet ever squirted into existence to think this ****ing Gulf War wind sock could halfway compete. The only niche this rolled-up bedsheet could serve is proccing frostbite so The Crescent Axe will hit even harder... but the ultimate reality is that swinging anything other than The Crescent Axe is even more a waste of time than typing unfunny comments on a niche videogame wiki. And having anything but a WA shield in your offhand would prevent you from disintegrating everything in the game with the greatest weapon art ever conceived, and The Crescent Axe definitely doesn't need a dandruff debuff from this herpes popsicle to do that. After The Crescent Axe has been in the series for 12 years, tell me, which weapon looks ****ing mint as hell and which one is full of holes after a run-in with some crickets?

praise the PKCS man

Submit

PKCS is the best weapon ever made by FS, RoB can never live up to the legendary legacy of the PKCS or its user, the PKCS man!

Submit

Tried this in my dex build. I gotta say, the only special thing about pkcs is the weapon art. Outside of it, even the rotten ghru's curved sword outshines it, not to mention how forgettable it becomes when you acquire the frozen weapon spell.

Just stick to the sellsword twinblades. Or if you want a weapon to 2hand for the r1 spam, use carthus's cs, wich has decent bleed for the dps.

Submit

ds3 casul here
what the **** is up with this weapon? i see people talking about it all the time on this site, so there must be.. some kind of big ds3 pvp culture surrounding this weapon but I just don't get it
