DS2 Blue Dagger Hints and Tips

  • Having the Blue Dagger equipped as your active weapon reduces your own elemental defenses by 200.
  • STR or DEX scaling does not seem to increase with upgrading. However, upgrading does improve the scaling of infusions.
  • Upgrading or infusing does not have any effect on the spell strengthening effect.
  • Spell strengthening effect is approximately 5% and works with all forms of magic.
  • The Blue Dagger's spell strengthening effect stacks with the Black Witch Domino Mask
  • The spell strengthening effect works with all catalysts including weapons that can cast spells such as the Blue Flame and the Mace of the Insolent
  • You do not need to meet the stat requirements to benefit from the spell strengthening effect.

      Less of a weapon on its own and more of a tool for spell casters who still want backstab capability. Most other daggers would be better, but that spell damage boost is hard to pass up.

        Only just got this after hours of farming.
        Symbol of Avarice, Prisoner's Tatters, Gold Serp. +1, and Watchdragon Parma.
        Farmed the 'maze' with the four sorcerers and keg hollows. Really quick, can easily kill 1-2 of the sorcs. with the flame traps, other two are easy enough with backstabs.

          Semi-rare my ass. I've been farming the 2 Sorcerers on the wall near Foyer bonfire - covenant of champions, NG, prisoner's head/torso, G-Cov +3 ring and Watchdragon Parma... 200+, no sign of it, and I've managed to get a perfect two of every other item they drop - 2x Umbral Dagger, 2x Sorcerer Mask, 2x Sorcerer Gloves, 2x Sorcerer Leggings, 2x Sorcerer Robe. The past 80 or so haven't dropped anything, so I dunno if it's just my luck, but I wouldn't disagree if someone said each one only drops their 'set' once and only certain ones drop this Blue Dagger.

            Finally got one after FAR too long farming, disappointing that it doesn't make a good side-arm (very low damage), and if you have it in the left hand you can't backstab or riposte. Also noticed that if you don't meet the stat requirements, it actually reduces your spell damage instead?

              One of the most obscure items in DS2. If you are not interested on the wikis and forums, or the fume sorcerers haven't dropped it for you, you probably would never know this even existed
