"The cursed Ghosts of New Londo are formidable foes. To face them, you will require special arms... Or a cursed body."

Curse is an Auxiliary Effect in Dark Souls.

General information[]

Curse is a hidden effect that is innately imbued on a very small number of weapons.

Effect[]

The Curse Auxiliary Effect allows the player to damage the Ghosts of New Londo without needing to consume a Transient Curse or be inflicted with Curse. If using a cursed weapon two-handed or in the left hand, it can also be used to block the attacks from ghosts.

Despite not actually using the weapon, kicking while using a cursed weapon in the right hand will still affect ghosts.

Lore[]

When New Londo was flooded to seal the Four Kings, its inhabitants were also sacrificed to contain them. Now they wander the city as ghosts.[1]
