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.
