Black Knight Sword

The  is a Greatsword in Dark Souls.

Availability
Semi-common drop from Black Knights wielding the Black Knight Sword. One (non respawning) is encountered midway through the Undead Burg; two sword Black Knights respawn in the Kiln of the First Flame.

Characteristics
The Black Knight Sword deals a medium amount of physical damage. Its fairly good reach is offset by its cumbersome moveset.

Overview
Since the Black Knight Sword can be obtained so early in the game (if players are lucky and get the drop), it can be useful in early stages where its damage output is very high compared to other weapons found at that stage. However, due to its average scaling, poor moveset, high weight and slow swing speed, it is best to replace this with something else as the game progresses.
