Dark Sword | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Don't spam the r1 so much juat because it has range, just take advantage of the r2's powerful truecombos. Treat it like a greatsword and it will perform as such.

Is this weapon still good for PvE?

Submit

man this one is a pain to farm it.....

Submit

dark dark sword.

Submit

In my first playthrough 4 years ago I farmed these dudes for hours to get a single sword, now I'm farming the Darkwraiths for pale tongues and I get like 3 dark swords for every tongue. RNG is insane.

And then he turned his own texture into a sword, funniest sh*t I've ever seen

Submit

New guys don't recall why this sword is infamous in the DS3 community.

Submit

The R2 is the most stylish attack in the game.

Offhand estoc, reclub and handaxe combo into uncharged R2. The estoc combo is particularly interesting as the sword doesn't have a poke move... Yeah, heavy estoc ftw!

Submit

When I use it: A straight sword.
When the Darkwraith use it: Pocket UGS.

Submit

There's a typo in the last bullet point in Notes and Tips here I think. Somebody typed Dark Souls instead of Dark Sword lmao

Submit

When DS3 first came out this sword was THE meta.

The AR on it was legitimately broken - PvE was a joke if you sword-and-boarded your way through the game and PvP was more or less just as easy.

Submit

I know it's not very optimal but i like this weapon with sharp

Submit

It's easy to misjudge someone as calling him a noob or an edgelord just for using this sword and thinking he ll spam that r1 with huge range like... Pretty much every ss user in the game.

Then the misjudge gets corrected when an actual pro smacks your chin and forehead with the r2 the whole match, only using the r1 when 2 handed. It really shows whoever truly understands the weapon can deal amounts of damage that rivals ugs users.

Submit

Damn, the weapon art r2 hurts more than a fully charged r2

Submit

Its literally a shrunken down stretched out Darkwraith. Hilarious.

If u want to get some soul and dark set early, farm the guy guarding the coal in the farron keep since he is the easiest to kill and give 2500 soul. Don't need to fight him, just lure him into a bunch of slugs near the wall. If you're lucky, he will kill most of those slugs and die. If you're not, lead him to any single slug you see on your way. That dude kills everything for u, gives u his soul and all the equipments. Man, he is such a good friend!

Submit

Awwww cmon I actually hoped it would be called "Dark Dark Sword" when you infused it

Submit

why is this sword so hated tho?

Submit

it gets a s faith scaling when blessed infused, needs to be updated

Submit

How is this with a dex build? Or should I just use the Lothric Knight sword

Submit

Got A on sharp +5. Table needs to be updated

Submit

I think it would be cool if this did dark damage

Submit

Fun fact: you can spam the stomp repeatedly for infinite poise and +50 absorption until you attack.

mini cathedral greatsword

Submit

i thought this would be bigger lol

Submit

LOL, this shi* is no longer a casul's favorite toy

Submit

oddly reminds me of a stick of chocolate

Submit

Is this sword still viable for PvP and PvE as of now? (March 9th 2021). It's so cool looking, it's a shame R1 spammers led it into the ground...

Submit

This thing with a dark infusion is a freaking beast at late game..
I had LKS until NG+8 and i thought it was really good.
But the dmg when u got alot of stats on all 4 Str,Dex,Int,Faith is reallt skyrockeging compared to any other SS.
It consumes little more Stam , but the Dmg is worth it.Like with 30 End i do 7 attacks with LKS and with Dark Sword 6.

Submit

Dark Sword? More like goddamnit why was one of the coolest looking weapons so broken and widely used by idiots that it had to be nerfed into the ground and now if you use it everyone thinks/knows you are an imbecile sword.

Submit

It has A's in both int and faith, when infused with chaos or dark now

Submit

Best sword in the game!

Submit

the buff force glitch you could make this a dark dark dark sword :)

Submit

I'm a noob pvp'er and I've liked using this +heavy compared to other straightswords but I can't find a weapon I really enjoy, any suggestions?

Submit

“Unique sword technique” means 13 R1s followed by a point down

Submit

That hitbox was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too laggy, and too powerful, it was more like a large hunk of meme.

Submit

Finally, black knight dagger

Submit

It’s always going to be Deep Dark Sword to me.

Submit

how to delete weapon

Submit

Having trouble figuring out which move does thrust damage, any help? thanks!!!

Submit

It has an S Faith scaling with blessed gem instead of A. I’m not sure if this was after an update or something but just thought I’d point it out. It’s actually pretty good with blessed gem. I’m using it, the Ancient Dragon Greatshield, and the sun princess ring. I love my hp Regen build haha

Submit

So you are telling me that its reinforced dark sword not dark dark sword? interesting...

Submit

This thing has a C in strength and dexwhen sharp infused, yet, every other ULTRA GREATsword, only an E ins strength, and like an A or B in dex, what kind of a$$ backwards convoluted horse hock is this?

Submit

This sword has A scaling with int and faith when infused with a dark gem. Not B.

Submit

this + crystal magic weapon, boom, diamond sword, you're welcome

Submit

The damage doesn't look so bad and the scaling is pretty decent. Why you say this was nerfed?

Submit

why doesn't it just become the "darker sword" when infused with dark?

Submit

This is a broken greatsword...

Submit

Broadsword is better, bastard sword is cooler, Ags got more big D energy, zwei stabs my shoulder

Submit

artorias's favorite weapon

Submit

Dose it get R2 r2 combo?

Submit

Was this nerfed recently? I was invaded at SL 88 or smth by a dark sword user and he barely dealt any damage. Was that just coincidence or was it nerfed?

Submit

dark sword is the weapon of the chads, only a true knight would wield such a big weapon and swing it that fast

Submit

that thing is a greatsword with the moveset and stamina cost of a straight sword

Submit

DEEP ♂️ DARK ♂️ SWORD

Submit

This is supposed to be the noob meme weapon but my question is, how is it that so many first time players get this to drop so easily? I think I only ever got it once and that was after some deliberate farming on my third playthrough

Submit

Elden ring better have a dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark sword

Submit

As far as I know, the Dark Sword and Lothric's Holy Sword are the only straight swords that are sheathed on the back.

Submit

It will always be dark dark sword in our hearts, and with force casting, dark dark dark sword

Submit

I'm sad that this swords dark dark name would never function in my language. In my language it's called "Finsterschwert" and the Gem is called "Dunkler Edelstein" if you infuse the gem into this sword, it'll be a "Dunkles Finsterschwert" which means Dark Darksword but isn't nearly as funny as it's English infusion. Oh German you poor translating language...

Submit

I prefeer to spam r2 with this sword rather than that boring r1
