Bat Staff is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.

Staff used by hollowed Drangleic sorcerers, A catalyst for sorceries and hexes.

The bat affixed to its tip is a simple charm. It has no bearing on the staff´s powers, but the germs on the cadaver poison foes upon contact in strike attacks. 

Acquired From

• Drops from Hollow Mage encountered in Brightstone Cove Tseldora

Hints and Tips:

• Staff bashing inflicts poison, also affected by Sanctum Soldier Gauntlets and Crest of the Rat, although it isn't shown in the weapon stat due to the reason below.
• Oddly, staff bashing from Hollow Mage himself does not deal any poison buildup, contrary to the acquired staff.
• Before Calibration Patch 1.06, it had poison damage and bonus which affected Dark Fog, making it poison almost instantly. This is no longer the case.
• Now, the staff no longer deals any poison damage while casting, but it still inflicts poison while bashing.
• It acts as a hex dedicated version of Lizard Staff if infused with Dark, but with a much slower casting speed.
• In short, this staff is inferior to Sunset Staff and Black Witch's Staff, but the weight is same as Sunset Staff, slightly lighter than Black Witch's Staff.
• 333 magic bns with 50 int.
• 384 dark with 30/30
