Barbed Straight Sword | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

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

i love and hate at the same time how it could be a sl1 op sword but it refuse to do so for 2 levels

Submit

Imo, this is the best bleed weapon for a Strength Build. Bandit Knife is a close contender, but I find the extra reach on this makes it better against Dancer, who has rarely stops moving and thus can slip out of the knife's puny reach.

Submit

This is my offhand for my strength build, heavy infusion and it destroys some bosses( I’m looking at you sister Frieda) and does pretty well in pvp as long as you are aggressive asf without letting yourself get parried. I strongly suggest playing with it for sure!

Submit

Bruh i infused this weapon with blood one time, very epic

Submit

Nobody mentions that it has the same stamina use as the shortsword, and does a bit more damage on top of the bleed

Submit

Heavy infusion actually gives this thing an A scaling

Submit

Unupgraded count as +5 for matchmaking, it broke my twink char after upgrading +5

Submit

Blood or Hollow gem infusion? I'm doing a Kirk Cosplay build rn.

Submit

This on a Hollow Build is really fun.

Also top tier for a Penitent One Cosplay.

Submit

The best about this weapon is that its versatile.
You can turn it into a weapon that causes bleed and poison for maximum annoyance and damage over time.
Or you buff it with other infusions or spells to also cause elemental damage.
You can just use it simply as a weapon for Str/Dex build and get bleed on top.
Sure there are better weapons for specialized characters, but this is a viable weapon for pretty much any build.

Submit

What would be the best elemental infusion for a 40 everything build?

Submit

what's the better bleed AR? +10 blood infusion or regular +10 with carthus rouge?

Submit

I'm a barby sword, in a barby world...

Submit

just imagine sticking it in your butt and bouncing up and down

Submit

Looks like a modded weapon from dying light, but at least this game has good storytelling

Submit

Pretty good as an offhand for Hollow/Bleed builds. Infuse with Blood, and pair with Hollow Great Corvian Scythe or Hollow Carthus Curved Greatsword to complement the vertical hitboxes and slower moveset, respectively. I was triggering bleed regularly.

Submit

Come on barby lets go party

Submit

Nasty little thing, I like it.

Submit

At sl85 with 30faith/30int, dark infused gives 450-500

Submit

My Blood Barb Sword has 60 bleed on it it. it had 30 base and the blood infusion +10 has it sitting at 60.

Submit

Not a straight sword for physical damage, but for bleed trigger, for me is recommended only bleed infusion, for the rest go to Anri's

Submit

50 luck with blood infusion give 80 bleed dmg!! Means every second hits blood lose triggers! That thing is a monster!!

Submit

Need an update here. Barbed got an A scaling with Dex with Sharp infusion at +9

Submit

All values are at 7?? Does it mean 70?

Submit

Is this the replacement for the Carthus Curved Sword?

I mean, I'm getting 431 AR One-handed on a Hollow +10 so...

The Most Annoying Build Ever: https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/208432

Submit

Updated some of the values for Crystal and Simple infusions (+7 and +6)

Submit

just wondering... could you apply carthous rouge and frozen weapon to this at the same time and if so would it be any good?

Submit

Heavy infused barbed sword at +10 gets a base of 205 with an A scaling in Strength. at 50 it has an AR of 397 and 2 handed it gets an AR of 418 not the best but its not bad certanly a good weapon to have with a heavy weapon to spam 41 and maybe bleed someone

Submit

mean little weapon, usually gets an extra hit compared to most other swords...the bleed doesn't impress me; the speed and the r1spam work wonders in a knuckle-down slugfest tho...def. use hollow...maybe the extra bleed dmg will start to pay off.

Submit

Buff the FUGS

Submit

What does this weapon scale on?

Submit

My main weapon for SL1. Only need the milkring to 2 hand it, and buffed with Carthus Rouge it destroys the Dancer. Decent damage for a raw weapon, bleed makes up for the lower AR than Astora straight sword.

Submit

The thing works wonders in tandem with the spiked shield.

I recently made a quality/luck build (30/30/40) and when i upgraded this sword, i thought i might as well cosplay kirk and take it to pvp. At first i was sceptical about the shield not being able to parry, but ***** if the bash isn't useful : it's exellent parry bait and it stuns quite well, allowing for a two hit attack with the sword right after. I was surprised it worked so well.

Submit

Currently running a quality-hollow build. Even though it won't out-damage Astora straight sword in raw damage it stacks bleed up very quickly (especially with Carthus rouge) and has very low stamina consumption. Tears most bosses apart in seconds (esp. Crystal Sage. In NG4+ killed him before its first rotation).Would recommend infusing it into Hollow if running luck build.

Submit

This one works wonders. Infused with crystal with my 60 int build sorc and it couples very well for both pve and pvp ( well i've son a few times with it ). A scaling in magic and low req ensures you will have something to fight off when you're out of ashen estus, Plus the bleeding. Got it +10 after doimg the court staff +10 and im still using it in NG+ until i get the chance of getting the sage rapier ( which i overlooked ) and probably won't even overthrow this one

Submit

It's a Straight Sword so you already know the damage-Stam-speed ratio is great. The requirements are low so you don't have to dump a lot of points into STR or DEX. As a bonus it also causes bleed.Very strong choice for Pyro.

Submit

better than dark r1 sword FTW

Submit

If I wanted this weapon for the sole purpose of bleeding targets (greatshield users, mainly), would going down the bleed route be better than staying with the default route? Or does the bleed damage scale off of max AP?

Submit

is it just me or does this sword has as shorter range than the other straight swords?

Submit

***** its raw version has nowhere near the same power as a raw astora...and i was looking forward to a good replacement for my intel char with cmw...

Submit

I recommend this to the final boss fight! He is highly resistant to bleeding but just when you are out of estus and he has like 1/8 of HP left the Bleed effect will do it's magic and did 1300 extra damage to the boss finishing him. :)

Submit

Anyone tried it? Do poison and bleed both trigger on an opponent relatively quickly?

Submit

This is one very powerful weapon. Got it upgraded to +7 now with no infusion but enemies with high health just goes down really fast.

Submit

Does anyone know why I can't get this Dark Spirit to invade me while I am embered? I finished the game and farming before NG+. Ty

Submit

Heavy, Sharp, Bleed, refined, etc...?

Submit

Does it benefit from the Leo ring?

Submit

Straight swords have the bleeding effect by default now, so does that one have higher bleeding damage ?

Submit

My favourite invader from DS1. Great looking armour and weapons hope both return :D
