The Straight Sword Hilt is a straight sword in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

The hilt of this lost sword was found discarded in the Undead Asylum.

Only slightly better than one's bare hands, and not recommended for extensive use. Be certain to find a replacement quickly.

Availability

The Straight Sword Hilt is given to the player in their cell in the Undead Asylum. It is the starting weapon for all classes in the tutorial.

Characteristics

The Straight Sword Hilt can be used to dispatch the harmless Hollows nearby the player's cell as a means to introduce the basic combat mechanics of Dark Souls. However, by the time the player makes their first encounter against the Asylum Demon, it will eventually be replaced by their own starting weapons, depending on their class.

While useless for the entirety of the game, it is one of two weapons that can be crafted into the true Greatsword of Artorias (the other being the Broken Straight Sword).

If one nevertheless wishes to use it as a standalone weapon, it is best to entirely ignore its scaling and instead rely on weapon augmentation, with the Sorcery ones (such as Magic Weapon) being the best alternative due to their relatively early availability and reusable nature.
