Availability

 * Found on a corpse in Blighttown with the Wanderer set, near the end of the scaffolding area leading from the Depths.

 * An Enchanted Falchion is dropped by a Mimic in The Duke's Archives, near where Logan sets up shop.

Characteristics
The Falchion has the same scaling, moveset, attack speed, and stamina consumption as the Scimitar, but has higher base damage. The Falchion has a higher Strength requirement than the Scimitar (although all starting classes have enough Strength for it). The only weakness it has compared to the Scimitar is its heavier weight. In terms of damage output, the Falchion loses to the Painting Guardian Sword at higher levels; however, it possesses greater reach.

The Falchion is one of lowest stamina-consuming weapons in the game, meaning that in conjunction with its fast attacks, the Falchion is capable of quickly dispatching enemies with low levels of poise.
