Balder Side Sword

The  is a Straight Sword in Dark Souls.

Availability
The Balder Straight Sword is dropped by Balder Knights (Balder Shield) found in the Undead Parish and Sen's Fortress.

Characteristics
The Balder Side Sword improves on the already good straight sword moveset by making the second strong attack another thrust rather than the usual upward slash (which has shorter range). Combined with its innate long reach the Balder Side Sword can almost be considered a straight sword/spear hybrid. It scales well enough with Dexterity to make it a viable +15 weapon, and makes a decent occult/enchanted weapon as well.

Upgrades
Requires: 200 Souls and Titanite
