Falchion | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

is this the strongest curved sword?
its a slashing sword not curved at all

Submit

This baby would absolutely be the best SL1 weapon if Heavy curved swords werent all nerfed

Submit

God ridiculous damage values with Raw infusion on low upgrade level.
A simple Raw Falchion +1 deals astonishing 171 damage, while Raw Broadsword +1 deals 163.
This thing is basically Broadsword of curved swords, only without the utility of a weird R2 and stance.

Submit

It seems to be B/B for dark infusion on Int/Fai scaling

Submit

Nice fire-infused weapon for dogs and slimes if you find one

Submit

Pretty ass weapon

Submit

I went to the comments to see everyone saying it’s stupidly hard to grind for this thing only for me to get it on the very first skeleton I killed outside of wolnir’s boss room. If only I had this luck while grinding for proofs lmao

Submit

All weapons should be purchaseable without mods, really limits what the playerbase uses. Farming is also never fun

Submit

I would use this a lot more if the scabbard didn't look so bad. The scimitar just wins for fashion

Submit

Fun fact: this weapon has the highest AR of all non-boss-weapons curved swords while being infused with refined on a 40/40 quality build

Submit

This is a great raw weapon early game if your doing a sorceror build. It's stat requirements are fairly low and need minimum investment and it's raw damage is quite high. Add great magic sword on top of it and mow down your enemies

Submit

Proof of concord: finally a worthy opponent,our battle will be legendary!

Submit

you can get the ones in undead settlement without the grave key as long as you have some spare ankles and an ember. not counting cat ring

Submit

This weapon is my baby. It doesn't do anything fancy, it's not the best at everything, but it does the job right, looks good, and will serve you well on any build. Take it in the arena for a spin, play aggressively, and defense up. You'll find this thing to be quite enjoyable.

Submit

make sure to add on this page the fact that the skeletons below undead settlement are mentioned

Submit

The drop rate on this thing is so stupidly low.

Submit

I thought it was clean at first, but the holder sheath looks stupid hanging off my guy lol

Submit

Darkmoon Blade amiright?

Submit

This or SS twinblades for a pyro build that doesn't use the demon scar?

Submit

An inferior version of pkcs. Trash to be accurate.

Submit

I love this weapon it is really useful but when I say it is hard to get I mean IT IS HARD TO GET!

Submit

this thing does 6 more damage with raw infusion for SL1

Submit

if this thing had the cool backflip thingy it would be meta

Submit

Falchion: “Widely used slashing weapon”

Also Falchion: *Annoying as hell to get

Submit

What.... it isn't effective against dragons, that's a disappointment

Submit

Would this Crystal infused be good for an intelligence build?

Submit

Is the falchion a fast or slow curved sword?

Submit

serious moveset improvement if you ask me

Submit

The best place to farm this is from Wolnir’s bonfire. Run back across the bridge to trigger the skely hoard a bunch have the falchion, run back to the bonfire side of the bridge and pop a coin. Farmed one in 10min

Submit

I just got outranged by this thing with a claymore...guy had insane latency but still wtf

Submit

Dr Strange: I have looked into the future and saw you trying to find the Falchion ME: How many skeletons did I kill? Dr Strange: 14,000,605 ME: How many Falchions did I get? Dr Strange: None

Submit

Very underrated refined weapon, compliments stuff like halberds and greatswords, which are usually refined too

Submit

An Oroboro classic.

Submit

It seems to me that, unlike the other curved swords, the 1H moveset is faster than the 2H. I would like to know if someone has done some actual testing because I'm probably wrong

Submit

I thought I remembered something special about this weapon from DS 1. And I think that you could use one of the boss souls on it, to turn into into one of, if not the best Dex weapon in the game and did fire damage. And with my build, at +10 chaos infused it does sick damage and executes very fast standard attacks creating a lot of DPS. It makes the Ashes DLC massively easier, almost felt like I was cheating, especially as a pyro. Like for Dex builds that also focus on intel and faith, if properly managed is crazy good. I have also had a lot of success using it as a chaos weapon in PvP

Submit

this weapon is a beast for refined builds especially in PVE for it's dumb AR personally if you want a great fast weapon in PVE this is definitely it for the highest AR of any curved sword running most builds however I would not recommend it in PVP due to it's slower speed and stamina usage

Submit

I kid you not... 618 dead Falchion-wielding skeletons, and still no Falchion drop. This was done in the Undead Settlement sewers. Why is RNG-based loot still an acceptable mechanic? This is actual virtualized cancer.

Submit

This sword does not have 40/40 poison/blood buildup at +10, i am at +9 rn and it has 56/49

Submit

I love this sword. a serpentine vibe to it, to me. plus, deals decent damage without being too OP/cheap. in DS1, had to get it near the poisoned swamp, I love swamp areas but not the lowered mobility. too bad my main rings are gold+silver serpent rings, swamp ring and Izalith ring. the serpent rings for my character's religious aspect and the swamp and Izalith rings to boost both my dark and fire/chaos pyromancies.

Submit

So I'm doing a pyromancer, prolly gonna have even STR DEX INT FTH would a Dark Infusion with an added Carthus flame buff be usefull?

Submit

Has the highest AR for using a flynns ring 99 dex set up if naked, just beating the chaos blade. Unlike the chaos blade a sharp falshion can be buffed with resin.

Submit

Could be a good sl1 wep with carthus milkring which u can get in the same area

Submit

I prefer a lot the dark follower sabre, it's nearly the same moveset with better damage

Submit

Has the Highest AR of all Curved Swords, with 40 DEX and a Sharp Infusion is does 399 while one-handed, and 404 while two-handed. While one-handed, it consumes 20 Stamina to attack, and 25 while two-handed, so it's in the middle of all other Curved Swords. It has an average weapon reach when compared to other weapons, but it is comparatively shorter than other Curved Swords. And finally, it's kick is a Normal Kick, rather than the Flip Kick most other Curved Swords have, making it much better at breaking someones guard.


9/10, a very reliable and powerful weapon that isn't to be taken lightly.

Submit

Surprisingly good damage at low levels + RAW.
Get one in the settlement sewers, upgrade it to +2 or so and you can do peasant cosplay R1 spam invasions.

Submit

was good in Demons Souls because we could get it early and that was all there was to it. the DS3 "Falchion" is another weapon now. Irithyll Straight sword.

Submit

Not what i pictured when i read Eragon :)

Submit

Also drops from 2 falchion wielding skeletons in the undead settlement in the shortcut tunnel where you need the grave key to access

Submit

The AR for Fire infusion is wrong. At +10 it gets 212 Slash & 212 Fire. Oddly enough though, when you equip it and check your AR the game says you have 425 so I guess the 212 are rounded up number?

Submit

Channel your inner Jason Voorhees!

Submit

Honestly, with a quailty 40/40 build, this thing has a AP of 445 two handed on refined. Pretty crazy though. I like to use the combo r1 + r1 + r2 + weapon art
Catches a lot of people. Does a bit of damage, but I wouldn't say it's overpowered.

Submit

looks pretty clean as a sidearm for blessed hp regen but the case is HIDEOUS miss me with this falchion son

Submit

Does this weapon have higher then normal ac when infused with fire?

Submit

This page is definitely outdated. Just upgraded my Raw Falchion to +8 and it already has 302 AR one-handed.

Submit

where the parry? XD

Submit

A doubt the curved swords including the follower's saber, falchion and curved carthus sword gets better refined or sharp?

Submit

This needs updating on the Sharp gem, I get A scaling at +4 sharp

Submit

This needs to be updated, at +6 Dark infusion I'm getting D/D/B/B, 112/116 base damage

Submit

So I was just going through all kinds of weapons with MugenMonkey to check whether there are any that scale significantly better now than they used to... and came up with this on a 40/40 STR/DEX set up (all weapons have MAX AR with Refined Infusion):

- Carthus Curved Sword: 410 2H AR
- Follower Sabre: 422 2H AR
- Falchion: 445 2H AR

Again, this is just some info taken from Mugen which could be wrong but... if this true, Falchion is now the strongest Curved Sword in the game?

...

Dark Souls I is back babyyy. Obobobo meme. Do you even R1 bro? Dorkmoon all those blades.

Submit

Can also drop from the skeletons in the small catacombs of the Undead Settlement. Obviously not a very efficient farming location, but it's possible to get an early Falchion this way.

Submit

RIP Obobobo :( you wont be missed

Submit

Don't use for pyro build
