Whips are a type of weapon in Dark Souls III.
Whips are characterized by their erratic attack pattern, long reach and inability to be parried under any circumstances. With the exception of the Rose of Ariandel, all inflict slash damage, making them useful against foes that wear cloth armor or who have exposed skin. However, they deal low damage and they are incapable of performing two-attack combos, making their damage output rather lacking. They are also incapable of performing critical attacks on opponents that have been parried or have had their guard broken, and cannot perform backstabs either. As such, whips are useful when paired with other weapons as an auxiliary tool, but not as weapons in their own right.
