The Lothric Knight Sword is a straight sword in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- A well-crafted straight sword designed for thrusting attacks, wielded by the venerable Knights of Lothric
- The Knights of Lothric, with their drakes, once crushed anything that threatened their shores. Of course, that was a long, long time ago.
- Skill: Stance
While in stance, use normal attack to break a foe's guard from below, and strong attack to slash upwards with a forward lunge.
Availability[]
- Dropped by Lothric Knights who wield them.
- Firelink Shrine
- Sold by Greirat of the Undead Settlement for 4,000 souls once he returns from his second scavenge expedition in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley.
Characteristics[]
The Lothric Knight Sword's strong attacks are reminiscent of the Balder Side Sword's strong attacks, which are explicitly thrust attacks instead of the typical upward slashes (one-handed) or broad, horizontal slashes (two-handed). The two-handed strong attacks have impressive range, and, much like spears, can hit for very high damage as a counterattack.
This, coupled with the ability to charge strong attacks, can make the Lothric Knight Sword deal astronomical damage if timed correctly in combat. As such, the Leo Ring complements this weapon excellently, as it will make the already substantial counterattacks even stronger.
It should be noted that the Lothric Knight Sword has a slightly higher critical modifier than the other straight swords (110 instead of 100).
It has the second longest reach of the straight swords, and scales remarkably with Dexterity. With a sharp infusion and sufficient upgrades, the sword gains an S scaling in Dexterity.
