The Parrying Dagger is a dagger in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

This dagger is useful after parrying and is normally equipped in the left hand.

A favorite of the knights of Carim, who are famous for fighting without a shield.

Availability

The Parrying Dagger is found on a corpse in the New Londo Ruins. The corpse is located directly after the first flight of spiral stairs. There is a Ghost inside the wall next to it, lying in ambush.

Characteristics

Intended for wielding in the offhand, the Parrying Dagger's parry window is longer than that of most other shields and weapons, allowing for easier parries. The Parrying Dagger is an average dagger for use in the right hand slot, featuring high critical rates and low damage typical of the dagger class.

The Parrying Dagger's parry hitbox lasts just as many frames as the specialized parrying shields, such as the Target Shield; on the other hand, it cannot block, making it an inferior choice defensively.
