- Not to be confused with Jagged Ghost Blade.
The Ghost Blade is a dagger in Dark Souls.
In-Game Description
- The ghosts of New Londo clutch this wickedly sharp dagger with their bony hands and make mincemeat of the living.
- One of the cursed weapons which can inflict damage upon ghosts.
Availability[]
1% drop from the Banshee in the New Londo Ruins.
Characteristics[]
Ghost Blade has the rare curse effect, meaning it can innately damage Ghosts and when used two-handed can block their attacks without needing a Transient Curse while going through New Londo Ruins.
The Ghost Blade has the highest base damage of all the daggers, however, it cannot be buffed, does not cause Bleed, and has the second lowest (although still significant) critical modifier of all daggers. Although it is listed as a slashing and thrusting weapon, almost the entirety of its moveset uses slash attacks.
