The Shotel is a curved sword in Dark Souls.
In-Game Description
- Curved sword with sharply curved blade.
- Created by Arstor, Earl of Carim. Requires great skill to wield, but evades shield defense to sneak in damage.
Availability[]
Found in Sen's Fortress, near the first boulder trap, next to Siegmeyer of Catarina when he travels there. Players will need to jump off a fairly high ledge to reach it, so expect some fall damage.
Purchase from Shiva of the East for 10,000 in Blighttown while part of the Forest Hunter covenant.
Characteristics[]
The strong attacks of the Shotel are unique, in that they completely ignore guarding (be it shields or otherwise). While powerful shields are relatively rare in PvE, it is a highly effective PvP weapon to punish anyone who may be turtling behind a shield.
Plot[]
Lautrec of Carim wields at least one and sometimes two shotels, making it imperative for a player who relies on a shield to kill him quickly.
