Submit

take me back to the land of Lothric;
take me back to my home
take me back to the halls of Lothric,
where grim knights patrol o'er stone

Submit

TAKE ME BACK TO THE LAND OF LOTHRIC;
TAKE ME BACK TO MY HOME
TAKE ME BACK TO THOSE HALLS OF LOTHRIC,
TO THE KNIGHTS THAT PATROL O'ER STONE

Submit

This weapon, while infused with either Dark or Chaos, has the highest AR in the game (935), at 99 in STR, DEX, INT and FTH.

In Elden Ring I think Lordsworn's Straight Sword is the replacement. You can get it almost immediately, along with the brass shield (aka black knight shield, equipped with 69 guard boost/stability, so exact same stats and weight class). LSS also has the 110 critical mod like the LKS has, but I don't know about the range and motion value.

I think it's really cool that the comments here about this weapon have gotten a lot tamer and less toxic. It's a great weapon, especially if you are going for the element dark/chaos infusion. With C C A A scaling this is an insanely powerful weapon in both PvE and especially if used correctly in PvP. I mean the range and DPS, the extra critical bonus, 18 dex, 40/40 intel/faith, massive damage output. I've gotten creamed by this thing many times when I was new to the game, and I was a bit salty, lol. But I practiced on and on to git gud at parrying, and now, if you come at me with this, you best come correct. My parry shield, hornet ring, and chaos dagger are waiting. Cheers to everybody playing DS in 2023. And if you haven't yet, for PC users, check out the Convergence mod, it's pretty sick.

Ah the 2 thrusts on 2 heavy attacks are so good and fun. Can't stand the heavy thrust followed by heavy uppercut slash which plagues most straight swords. Elden ring did not learn properly

Submit

the people saying it has an A scaling with sharp +10 are wrong, its S scaling with sharp at +10

Submit

At +10 with Sharp Infusion it doesnt have S scaling but A.
Has it been nerfed?

Submit

How do I unlock the teleport thrust attack ?

Submit

"Rkss outclasses lkss" that's only true until the latter lands a dagger-tier riposte

Submit

I thought this weapon was a bit OP and cheesy but after playing Elden Ring and mashing sword dance through most of the mobs, I feel like Einstein using the varied moveset of this sword.

Submit

"The Lothric Knight Sword has a range of 34.8389xl 1h R1 and 34.526xl 2h R1."

What in the **** is that supposed to mean?

Submit

malder side sword

Submit

melee marth uses one of these things

I was using this while I waited to find more titanite to upgrade my pontiff sword and It completely blew me away.

Submit

Kirk hammer sword

Submit

I miss this beast in Elden Ring.

Submit

Old faithful... I've missed you :(

Submit

I'm farming this sword for my pyromancer and it doesn't drop f*ck. The knight under Tower of the wall bonfire have droped 6 crosbows and the armor set with several parts repeated and still not a single sword.

Submit

The best SS in DS3 no doubt

Submit

This thing is lunacy. The prodigal great-great-grandson of the balder side sword

Submit

Used this in some pvp matches. It's power is addictive.

Submit

Chaos scaling at +7 is D C B B not D C A A

Submit

Trash weapon, just use the PKCS

Submit

can I use this weapon on my quality build? I realy wanted to make a knight build, improving dexterity and strength status.

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

sad that it doesn't scale well on strength! quite unfortunate personally since i like to boost all my points into the strength stat :(

Submit

eh, I still like the broadsword better

Submit

**** you guys, this weapon takes skill. git gud

Submit

My first character was a strength build, had a lot of fun with it. I heard a lot about dark builds and was told this was the weapon of choice that everyone hates facing, so naturally I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I never really have problems in PvP facing people with this weapon because I find straight swords real easy to parry. So i made a character based on using a dark and chaos version of this, (510 AR) popped a few extra points into strength so I could use the black knight shield figuring that would really tick people off and i have no idea what all the drama is about. I'm no doubt a noob with this build and using SS's in general, but I was getting parried left and right using this thing, and weapons that use the perseverance WA seem to be able to counter spammers if you are not good with parrying, although you should be if you do a look of dueling. I mean its definitely a good weapon, great reach and best SS moveset, really good on my Pyro in PvE but in PvP I thought it was pretty average, just like the long sword but with a longer range and slightly better moveset and scaling. Although the 110 critical definitely sets it apart. But I do not understand where the hate comes from and I was really trying to play like a punk too. hahahaha. I dunno, maybe if my skill level was higher I would do better with it, but i thought all the anger comes from this being a weapon that requires very little skill.

The notes specifically mention one-handed thrust heavy attacks, for the record it has thrusting heavies when 1h & 2h

Perfect moveset, stance, buffable, long as sin. This thing is versatile even by straight sword standards. Miyazaki even stepped in to add an extra 10 critical before the game shipped, the complete lunatic

Submit

Ah yes, The try hard weapon choice.Fit with the broken hit boxes of straight swords and the lag of dark souls 3. Miyazaki, do you hear our prayers?

Submit

where is pkcs guy when you need him

Submit

This weapon is quite bussin early game but then again I’m more of a great sword user so I wouldn’t know

Submit

Ah, yes. thicker balder side sword

Submit

Faith builds benefit more from the sunlight straight sword, if you are playing faith you are going to want to use SSS not LKS

sidenote: lightning infusion spell and dark infusion spell is definitely the way to go when using SSS

Submit

Am I missing something here? After running a bunch of calcs the long sword outdamages this on pretty much every build and has the same r1 r1 r2 combo. Idk how accurate this wiki’s range testing is but according to it, long sword only has .9 units less range.

I don’t know man. Between all that and the lower usage requirements LKSS just kinda seems like a worse long sword. Though LKSS does look cooler for fashion

Submit

The R1 spammers can be bothering some times, but de phantom range/ network is the real issue, this shid outrange almost everything.

Submit

Noobfriendly Knight Sword

Submit

i use this to make people angry at me

Submit

you guys call it meta because everyone uses it, but it gets outperformed by ringed knight straight sword (quality build) or gotthard's twinswords (any build) in the hands of a good player. and that's just mentioning other straight swords, there are other much stronger setups (hello pkcs and murky :))))))))) )
it is good, but far from overpowered, simply a strong all-rounder that is decently effective even if wielded by a bad player, and very popular for this reason.

Submit

got it on my first try killing a lothric knight

Submit

Oh Ja!

Submit

PLS FUKİN END ALL STRAİGHT SWORDSSS EVEN STR WEAPON TAKES MORE SKİLL THAN THİSS AND STRAİGHT SWORD ARE NOT FUN

Submit

This sword screams “ I like wiener”.

Submit

This sword is great with its sword length but let me tell you, broadsword is the mvp for me, carry me throughout the game. But everyone has their own playstyle, we shouldnt mind others using this weapon, its their choice

Submit

soldering iron is just better in every way

Submit

Is the Refined enhancement worth dumping my Strength into for a 40/40 quality build, or would it be more effective to just toss a Sharp enhancement on LKS for a 12/40 Dex build and dump my 30 points elsewhere?

Submit

i used this in my first blind playthrought, guess i am a metaslave natural...

Submit

Filthy fools! Git gud and use Broken Straight Sword like a pro!

Submit

Cosplaying a Lothric Knight right now. The armor is way heavier then I thought it was, but it's pretty fun so far. I'm going to start getting some miracles ready.

Submit

When you have no skill:

Submit

The Lothric knights are masters of illusion in lore, and it is this mastery that allows them to hide 90% of their 6 meter long sword.

Submit

Use this weapon so I could get an easy kill by parrying you to death : )

Submit

I know all you baby wannabe try hards think this is the ultimate meta weapon, but it's actually complete trash compared to the all mighty PKCS! While all you LKSS scrubs are mindlessly r1 spamming away with this inferior "meta weapon" that's way slower than the PKCS and going for predictable parries I'll easily out space you and dead angle my swings to avoid your obvious noob parries then point you down after easily killing you with my PKCS to show you what the real meta weapon is!

Submit

lol sword good

Submit

Probably the best straight sword in the game. It has S scaling in Dex/sharp, lightning/faith and intelligence/crystal and simple, including the BB in refined and 2 A scalings in dark and fire. (Sorry for the long comment ;)

Submit

I used it in the arena and won 3 duels in a row! Definitely give this sword a try if you haven't yet, its truly a hidden gem in this game

Submit

I'm getting back into DS3 and I'm going to be playing so casual that I'll be playing as a full Lothric Knight

Submit

Underrated!
