The Crystal Straight Sword is a straight sword in Dark Souls.
In-Game Description
- A fully crystallized straight sword. How such a weapon was created is entirely unknown.
- The crystallization boosts its attack, but makes the blade brittle. The sword cannot be used for long, as it cannot be repaired.
Availability[]
- Can be purchased from Domhnall of Zena for 4,000 souls.
- Dropped by Undead Crystal Soldiers in The Duke's Archives.
Characteristics[]
The Crystal Straight Sword's high base damage means that at the point where it first can be bought, it will be quite powerful and effective in both the Depths and Blighttown, being about equal to a Longsword +8 in terms of attack power and moveset. However, it can't be upgraded or repaired, making it unsuitable for sustained use or high level play.
