Mytha's Bent Blade is a dagger in Dark Souls II.
In-Game Description
- Dagger forged from the soul of Mytha, the Baneful Queen. Coated with a potent poison.
- Mytha was the fairest queen in the land, until something unhinged her. Was it the poison found deep within the earth, or the passion that consumed her heart?
Availability[]
Trade the soul of Mytha, the Baneful Queen and 1,500 souls to Straid of Olaphis.
Characteristics[]
Boasts a high poison resistance, but its other defenses are the typical values for dagger-class weapons. Although the Bent Blade has an innate poison effect, it is superseded by many other non-upgraded weapons infused down the Poison path, even when fully upgraded. It also only has 40 Durability, so it may be prudent to keep some Repair Powder and a Bracing Knuckle Ring or a spare weapon in case it breaks.
However, Mytha's Bent Blade has the distinction of being the only weapon in the game able to inflict the Toxic status, which does significantly higher damage than poison with the trade off of having fewer means to build up the enemy's toxicity (the only other source being Toxic Mist). It would also be helpful to equip the Sanctum Soldier Gauntlet and the Crest of the Rat for a flat 100 increase in toxic buildup.
Unlike many weapons, Mytha's Bent Blade cannot be infused down any path.
