The Royal Dirk is a dagger in Dark Souls II.

• DkSII
• SotFS

In-Game Description

Dagger fashioned from rare geisteel, boasting an unusually long blade.

Though this dagger was bestowed as a gift by the king of these lands to his chancellor, the fate of its owner remains obscure.

In-Game Description

A dagger fashioned from rare geisteel,
boasting an unusually long blade.

Geisteel was a precious alloy created in the
easter land of Mirrah, its composition long
kept secret from foreign lands.

That is, until Chancellor Wellager was ordered
by King Vendrick to grant the gifted blacksmith
Llewellyn a lifetime contract, whatever the cost,
in order to introduce the rare alloy to Drangleic.

Availability

Gift from Chancellor Wellager after gaining the Giant's Kinship, along with the Espada Ropera.

Characteristics

The Royal Dirk handles more like a straight sword than a dagger when one-handed, and even uses the same critical attack animations as a straight sword, to boot. However, unlike daggers, the Royal Dirk is a rather ineffective weapon for backstabs, but it makes up for this with a very versatile power stance. Despite its versatile moveset the weapon ends up being rather unimpressive in terms of damage, and is generally eclipsed in usefulness by straight swords with similar movesets.
