Astora Straight Sword is a Weapon in Dark Souls 3.
A well-crafted sword named after the ruined land.
Astora, before its fall, was a land replete with royal blood, and this weapon is both a reminder and heirloom of that era.
Skill: Stance
While in stance, use normal attack to break a foe's guard from below, and strong attack to slash upwards with a forward lunge.
Notes and Tips:
- Can be Infused and Buffed.
- Reinforced with Titanite.
- All weapons have motion values assigned to each attack, which are modifiers to AR that are associated with the attack being used.
- The Astora Straight Sword has a motion value of 200 on backstab, 250 on riposte, and 60+225 on Hornet Ring riposte. The motion value of a backstab with a straight sword does not change with Hornet Ring.
- The Astora Straight Sword has a range of 34.0479xl on the 1h R1 and 33.6371xl on the 2h R1.
- The Astora Straight Sword has thrusting R2 attacks when used 1h.
- If the Faith requirement is not met, attacks will bounce off heavily-armored enemies and any blocking opponent in PvP. It will also have a greatly increased stamina cost.
- This weapon is generally not worth using very far past the room you can obtain it in. While it does have high base damage, its scaling is terrible even when infused. This terrible scaling with infusions, coupled with the fact that its Raw, Fire, and Deep infusions have significantly reduced base damage, makes it replaceable very early on. The Broadsword you can find in the very same room has better AR when infused with Raw, however it lacks the range and moveset of the Astora Straight Sword so it is not necessarily a straight upgrade. The Longsword however can be obtained from Greirat, and the key to his cell is obtained in the very same room as this weapon. The Longsword is stronger when infused with Raw, and the Longsword has the exact same moveset, weight, and weapon art as the Astora Straight Sword but does not have the 12 Faith requirement, so it can be seen as a straight upgrade to the Astora Straight Sword the moment you infuse it. Since it is so easy to get a weapon that completely outclasses this sword mere moments after finding it, it is hard to argue for its usefulness past when you first pick it up, but it does at least beat the Longsword and Broadsword before you can return to Firelink Shrine and infuse them with Raw.
- Because this weapon has terrible scaling when infused and is weaker than the Longsword with the three infusions that remove scaling, it will pretty much always be outclassed except at extremely low base stats and upgrade levels. This does at least make it okay for Crystal, Chaos, Lightning, and Dark infusions very early on since it can beat an infused Longsword below around +3 reinforcement and nearly base stats, but past around +4 reinforcement and once you begin raising your stats, the Longsword quickly overtakes the Astora Straight Sword.
- In contrast to its terrible scaling for almost every infusion, this weapon has a very powerful Hollow infusion. At +10 with the base stats to wield it and 40 Luck, it has an AR of 354 compared to a Hollow Longsword's 296. However, Anri's Straight Sword beats it with an AR of 386. With 40 Luck, there is a sweetspot of around 30 Strength and 30 Dexterity where the Hollow Astora Straight Sword actually beats Anri's Straight Sword, and these stats are low enough that the Hollow Longsword has not caught up in damage yet. This means on a Luck build there is a point where this weapon is the highest AR straight sword that isn't a Broadsword. Once you begin raising Strength and Dexterity a bit higher the AR of the Hollow Longsword will eventually catch up, but even going to the softcap of 60 Strength, 60 Dexterity, and 60 Luck, the Hollow Longsword only has an AR of 487 while the Hollow Astora Straight Sword has an AR of 482. At this point the Hollow Lothric Knight Sword is possibly a better option than both of these weapons, coming in at 477 AR but having much longer range, a higher critical multiplier, and arguably a much stronger moveset.
- This weapon uses 18 stamina per swing versus the 20 that a Longsword uses and the 17 that a Shortsword uses.
Location/Where to Find
- Located in a chest on a platform in the High Wall of Lothric just above the room with 3 large undead and 2 dogs (where the Estus Shard and Cell Key are). Break a crate wall on the top floor walkway to expose a hidden rafter which leads to a drop down to a middle floor where the chest is located.

People forget that when Dark Souls 3 came out, this weapon used to be broken for lower level PVP (think Farron Woods). With a raw infusion, this thing would outclass pretty much every other weapon besides Dark Hand and maybe Dragonslayer's Crescent Axe buffed with Lightning. It was so monstrous that they nerfed it into nothingness. I think the nostalgia factor of this sword is immense and visually it's very pretty. I'm sad it couldn't find a niche after it was nerfed so hard.

I guess if you’re solely focused on attack damage and killing enemies/bosses as quickly as possible then yeah this sword isn’t the best. But I just beat the game with this raw infused version and it was so much fun not spending every moment focused on what my strength was and how much damage I was dealing out.
Its low weight allows for heavier armor without fat rolling, and I given that I’m terrible at parrying. It’s perfect for my agile tank play style

It's amazing how in a straightforward physical build, this piece sucks... but yet, raw, infused with fire or dark, or poisoned/bleeded... it's a much more effective weapon, and to sweeten that deal, it's 18 stamina to swing this bad boy instead of 20. So, low level builds, or builds specialized in non-damage stats, or just the sorcerer build made with pyromancer and just enough faith to use tears of denial, can all use it to diversify their damage types still.
It's also okay hollowed, doing a slight hint more damage than a plain old longsword infused with hollow. It's no match for it's brother in damage, Anri's Straight Sword, but still it has the lower stamina per swing advantage, thus giving it an added bonus to luck builds lacking in endurance... or to even people just not interested in regeneration over +5 luck when hollow-formed, and it's gotten earlier on for those not planning to kill Anri early.
That said, back to physical damage... we all know that physical is -still- not it's main thing anymore... even shortsword can outdo this thing, and swinging one costs only 17 stamina, and that only takes 2 weight.
But, earlier in the game, this thing can outdo an uninfused shortsword, so it might still be useful if you are going to incidentally meet the stat requirements early, before moving back to use the shortsword or passing onto other weaponry.
[Of course, this is just me recapping all i've read about this weapon, and what i've tested in-game on a slow day while curious... and toying with character stats. If someone wants to use it on a physical dex/str build just for swag souls, then who are we to judge?]

If you're looking to use this, imo it fits best on +2 > +7 tanky Raw builds. Comparable AR to longsword, lower stat requirements than Lothric knight straight sword, lower stamina use than either. LKSS is better overall, but Astora is a fun, scrappy alternative at lower levels. It really should've had a base E faith scaling to better compete at +10, it's a shame seeing a beloved weapon sink into obscurity.

At 40 Str, 40 Dex, 12 Faith, 9 Int, 7 Luck (knight start, quality build + base req), uninfused is higher AR than any physical infusion

Did some blue sentinel counter ganks with this thing and killed multiple twinks with it at +1 and a flynn ring equipped. Sitting at around 161 AR at SL20. Broadsword does more damage, but it's range is bad and so is it's move set. If you use the thrust attack at different intervals it's really hard for parry fishers to get a read on you.

Ah, bookends. I beat Dark Souls 1 using it's version of this weapon, and Just beat Dark Souls 3 for the first time today by using a Lightning Infused +10 Astora Straight Sword. You've served me well my friend.

To anyone who wants to use this weapon, to get the best results you'll want to have around 40 Strength, 40 Dexterity and 32 Luck (37 when Hollow) and use the Hollow infusion. You'll get 448 AR one-handed and 457 AR two-handed, however this is still outclassed by the Long Sword at these stats, but it's actually good damage making it usable.
The Hollow infusion is the ONLY infusion that this weapon benefits from in a way that keeps it's damage viable. In fact when one-handed at 40 in Strength, Dexterity and Luck it's in a tie for 2nd place in AR for Strait Swords with the Long Sword just behind the Broadsword. However it drops behind the Refined Broadsword and the Hollow Long Sword when two-handed.
It's a shame that this weapon is so difficult to use in the late-game, the ONLY reason that I know this is because I was trying to figure out how to make this weapon viable on a Knight of Astora theme build.

What a disappointing weapon... Truly a shame that the iconic sword of the series was reduced to this. Literally worse than the very basic Longsword you get as a starting knight. Heavy infusion does nothing on it, sharp doesn't do much better. Refined on quality seems to be the way to go, but even then Lothric SS will win in both damage AND range.
That being said: i think there is ONE niche role that this sword fulfils: a Raw Gem saver.
When you find this sword - if you compare it to the other unupgraded and uninfused weapons including Broadsword - you'll find that it will deal higher damage than any of them. Now yes, they will out-damage it once infused with raw but that's the point. At a small price of some FTH and minor hit to early game damage output you get to keep the gem for a better time. Just don't use it on ASS itself, it will give it like 4% extra damage which is a complete waste.

Bruh, the A.S.S has received hate cuz Longsword is overused. Simple as that. Not anything wrong with that, since Longsword is a safe choice, but it get dull when everyone uses it. I catch myself thinking 'oh god longsword user again' in any DS game I play nowadays.
- Anonymous
Why do people hate this weapon so much, it does similar damage to the higher damage swords and can beat almost all the other straight swords at +10 uninfused. and the swords only downside is the faith requirement, but 12 is quite low in early game, so the only classes that cant use it are going to be the mages and assassins. It's also worth noting, this weapon consumes slightly less stamina then the straight sword.

Just in case some are not aware, during the same patch that made this sword an outclassed pointless weapon, the Broadsword got a buff, and I according to a 100% walkthrough I watched by GheyForGames on Youtube, they state that the buff the raw boardsword gets gives it the same stats that the ASS used to have before the nerf. I'm personally not a big fan of the boardsword because of the range and moveset, but its got the same WA and is literally found on the other side of the same room that you find the ASS and can easily carry you through the first half of the game PvE. So they basically just switched the damage values in the patch between these two weapons. A +10 raw Boardsword has a 322 AR and has no faith requirement, just 10 str and 10 dex.

MG this ss sucks ass. Like seriously it's the worst all. I was about to assert my dominance with my pkcs but now I feel bad.
Since no one seems to know, this is a quality str/lck weapon. At 40/40 str/lck it rivals Anri’s SS with the same stats and beats out a few others. The “problem” is it’s a QUALITY weapon but, not the kind people wanted, meaning everyone wanted it to scale with faith. The “good ol days” as they say. That being said, as quality weapons go it isn’t bad. It hard caps at 40/40 like others, has over 400 AR, has thrusts and works well as a raw weapon for pure faith builds. Making it a lightning infusion also makes it powerful on pure faith builds, on par with any other straight sword you could use on the same build more or less. As far as Anri’s goes, the only thing Anri’s SS does better is the innate heal and being a non-quality weapon. Ultimately it depends on what you want, quality weapon or pure scaling weapon. Saying Astora’s is bad is like saying the Black Knight weapons are bad because you can get more AR on a different build.

Wow I’m surprised at the negative comments. This has been my primary weapon for my very first run and it’s worked wonders. I have it infused raw +10 currently and I use carthus flame arc I just beat champ. Gundyr and dragon slayer armor with it. Some bosses I had to switch to a different weapon, but overall I’m very satisfied.

I dont know why people hate this weapon, it's a broadsword with thrusting R2 if you are not interested in scaling. And even if you are this weapon rarely needs an extra hit to kill an enemy comparee to other SS. It's also longer than a broadsword. And it doesnt even need scaling. This is a really good SS for invasions you dont need to scale it just get around 25 vigor and 25 vitality and you're good to go. It can also be buffed which means it has the means of dealing with nasty bosses weak to certain elements. Overall not too bad again it requires not stat investments.

Like it was in the first game, it's a crutch until mid game, then it become pretty worthless. You can go Faith and get it Blessed, or infuse it Raw. Trust me, ditch it when you the Boreal Valley.

If you picked a starting class that has 10 faith or more I highly recommend this weapon. Available early in the game and has damage comparable to the LKS and BS right out the chest. Infuse it with raw and this sword will carry you all the way to irthyll, although this shouldn't be your main weapon. The scaling on it are subpar and are outclasses by the other SS. Overall, a fantastic early game weapon, but a mediocre main weapon.

Im pissed off for this falling because I'm just started the playthroughand I'm still in the undead settlement. I' Hope that was not a invaluable weapon, because I have still to choose my build and I was to pondering a faith build.

This use to be my favorite sword, so I wanted to see how viable it still is. For low SLs, it's slightly weaker in it's Raw form then the Longsword, however, it uses less Stamina per swing meaning it can deal more damage per Stamina bar. At +4, 20/20 is the breakpoint to get rid of Raw. Surprisingly, it does better with no Infusion then Heavy/Sharp/Refined. That stays true for the life of this sword. It's either Raw or no Infusion, everything else sucks. At 20/20 +4, it's only 5 AR behind Raw Longsword or Sharp Lothric. That's pretty much the breakpoint. If you're pumping STR, it's always a few AR behind the Long Sword. If you're pumping DEX, it falls behind the Lothric Sword quickly. If you want Raw or Quality, the Broadsword is the new top dog. But, if you're running a low stamina caster, it's still a great sidearm due to the low Stamina usage.

You only get about 1-2 extra swings than the longsword, but with less stamina consumption, that little bit of stamina can save your life

For people who wonder if this sword shine anywhere or if it's just worse version of others straight swords. Astora sword not good as raw infused weapon anymore, but it's one of the best choises if you go poison\bleed infusion. Here some tests. (BL=bleed, PO=poison) +10 upgrade, 60 luck, 12 str, 11 dex short sword BL 76 PO 85 AR 180 longsword BL 74 PO 83 AR 198 broadsowrd BL 74 PO 83 AR 210 astora sword BL 81 PO 91 AR 217 barbed sword BL 82 PO 42/80 AR 197 lothric sword BL 77 PO 86 dark sword BL 74 PO 83 So, if you're playing luck build and want some bleed/poison straight sword, barbed sword and astora sword are the best ones. (barbed sword deals more damage with bleed, but has less range, more stamina consumption and 20 less AR)

after the nerf it got it's literally a useless weapon, no need for pick it up, not even at low soul level since you need to invest on faith and a long sword doesn't need that, it has actual scaling and it's is basically 10 times better.

so i deal 230+ less damage than a lothric knight straight sword with a dark infusion, a bit less of range compared to the lothric sword and a terrible scaling for a few swings? seems legit. this weapon is barely good for a few places and then you should delete it from your inventory after sl 35 tbh.

Why would I bother infusing this with ANY gem? At +8 regular it's at 232 + 82 for me... that's 314 attack. That's MORE then the +10 RAW at 301 total... Went back to the shrine and checked the blacksmith, Refined +8 is 208 + 100 (308), Raw +8 is 270, Crystal +8 is 335 total, Simple +8 is 307 total... everything's lower. Top that off, my +8 regular with 314 attack jump to 389 when I use Magic Weapon on it (buffing it with more attack). Wouldn't be able to use Magic weapon if I infused it, meaning crystal version's weaker... simple would regen some FP but it's even weaker then crystal. I infused some other weapons making them better, like my Heavy Spiked Mace... why is it any infusion on THIS sword just sucks? lol Or am I missing something?

Maybe it doesn't matter to the people who say it is trash but it consumes less stamina than the lothric knight , depending what you're fighting extra swings are important.

this weapon isn't so bad... i mean it was nerfed quite a bit, but it has its merits. It is almost like a shortsword in terms of damage and stamina consumption, but has the range of a longsword. This thing might also have a slightly higher-then-normal requirement to use, but it is still cheaper to wield then the lothric straight sword. So if you wanna use astora straight sword because it looks cool, then try to remember the benefits it still does have as well.

Pyros can put one point into dex and have a slightly less damaging longsword, with less stamina consumption. It leaves pyros and heralds more stam for magic without compromising range. Buff with any of the magic weapons, CFA, or eventually LB to make up any damage you could have wanted, in the element that most damages the boss. Love this sword.

Well, at SL120 I have it up to 434 ar. Used a hollow infusion with 35/30/40 Str/Dex/Lck. For reference, a refined longsword with 40/40 Str/Dex is 428. The downside to the Hollow ASS is it costs a lot of points into 3 stats to attain that ar at SL120. One upside though, is the ASS uses less stamina than all the other popular SS's, and the Hollow infusion of course gives +5 luck, mitigating the 12 Fth requirement.
At SL 135 40/40/40 it would be 454 ar, it would beat out most of the other SS's as it scales well with LCK.
In short, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. At higher SL's it can actually reach a higher damage ceiling than most other SS's. But it takes high investment, making it terrible at lower SL's where each stat point is precious.

The ONLY upside to this thing was raw infusion. Sure it was hella strong but you had to basically waste two levels into faith to use it. On a twink, two levels is a lot. Every stat counts. That's what made it balanced in the first place... but now it's sadly just a useless weapon with terrible scaling. You could use it if you find the game too easy or you just want a unique looking ss. Which it is stylish so
