The Parrying Dagger is a dagger in Dark Souls III.

In-Game Description

Dagger with a greatly curved guard.
A dagger made especially for parrying which is usually equipped in one's left hand in place of a shield.
Skill: Parry
Deflect an attack when timed properly and follow up with a critical hit. Works while equipped in either hand.

Availability[]

Sold by Unbreakable Patches for 2,000 souls.

Characteristics[]

As the name and descriptions suggest, this weapon is used almost exclusively for parrying. It is not recommended to use this a main weapon as its base damage and scaling are incredibly poor, even while having a high critical modifier.

Even then its window for parries are equal to that of a medium shield, requiring you to adjust if you are used to most other parry tools.
