For the Dark Souls III variant, see Astora Straight Sword.

Astora's Straight Sword is a straight sword in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

Straight sword of an unknown knight, likely one of Astora's superiors.
High-quality sword imbued with a powerful blessing.

Availability[]

Astora's Straight Sword is located on a body by the Undead Dragon in the Valley of the Drakes. It is possible to grab the sword without waking up the Dragon by approaching it slowly from the side of the New Londo shortcut.

Characteristics[]

Astora's Straight Sword is basically a Divine Longsword with equal split between Physical/Magic damage and a 120 Divine auxiliary effect. It is a useful starting weapon for Faith builds as it can be acquired within minutes of arriving at the Firelink Shrine (assuming the player has the Master Key). Astora's Straight Sword cannot be enchanted. It has only average scaling and will perform poorly in later stages of the game.

Trivia[]

  • This sword is one of several pieces of equipment used by Oscar, Knight of Astora, along with the Elite Knight armor set and Crest Shield, all of which are described as equipment of a high-ranking knight of Astora. Since Oscar uses all of these items, they may belong to him.
    • Oscar's equipped version of Astora's Straight Sword is upgraded to +8; the weapon normally only reaches +5.
  • On the sword's handle are engraved runes in an unknown language; these have not been reliably decoded. Whether or not an intended meaning lies within this is unknown.
