Priscilla's Dagger is a dagger in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

This sword, one of the rare dragon weapons, came from the tail of Priscilla, the Dragon Crossbreed in the painted world of Ariamis.
Possessing the power of lifehunt, it dances about when wielded, in a fashion reminiscent of the white-robed painting guardians.

Availability[]

Obtained by cutting off Crossbreed Priscilla's tail. This can be tricky, due to the small size of her tail and her insubstantial health. Breaking her invisibility then using a low damage weapon with vertical slashes is most advised. It is also possible to obtain the dagger before the battle properly starts, by attacking her tail with a strong attack from a hard-hitting weapon like the Greataxe.

Characteristics[]

Priscilla's Dagger`s damage is unremarkable, and has a lower critical attack modifier than other daggers. It makes up for this by having a very high bleed effect (50% of a target's max health; tied only with the Lifehunt Scythe). Priscilla's Dagger has the advantage that it does not cause bleed buildup to the wielder; however Lifehunt Scythe has the fastest bleed buildup in the game, while this weapon has the slowest.

Priscilla's Dagger is an Occult weapon, making it more useful against specific enemies. It also has a slightly greater reach than the other daggers, but lower critical damage, making it less useful for backstabs and ripostes.

Priscilla's Dagger has a unique moveset. While its weak attacks are the same as other daggers, its strong attacks are a graceful, flowing combo that is difficult to master.

Priscilla's Dagger is uncharacteristically fragile for a dragon weapon, having only 100 durability, the lowest of all dragon weapons. This may be due to lacking the shockwave attack typically associated to dragon weapons.
