Black Dragon Sword is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.
In legend, this oddly-shaped straight sword is said to be forged from the black dragon's tail.
As it is told, the black dragon lost its tail to a brave warrior in a magnificent battle, and the tail was later used to forge several legendary weapons.
Acquired From
- Very rare drop from Black Dragon Knight in Dragon Shrine. Only the one wielding the sword at the very top of the stairs will drop the sword. In SOTFS the Black Dragon Knight at the bottom of the spiral stair case before the dragon egg drops it as well.
- Very Rare! Use all luck increasing items such as the Jester's Hat, Covetous Gold Serpent Ring and Rusted Coins.
Hints and Tips:
- Upgraded with Petrified Dragon Bone to +5.
- Shares the same move set as the broadsword: all one- and two-handed moves are horizontal sweeping strikes but is even shorter in reach.
- At +5 Raw, this weapon has an impressive 345 Attack Rating, surpassing Enchanted path. Only 5 points less than a Drakekeeper's Sword with 40/40 str/dex.
- Very receptive to elemental infusion, with a net increase of AR greater than a Raw infusion even with the Ring of Blades.
- Just like Black Dragon Greatsword, this weapon loosely resembles Quelaag's Furysword from Dark Souls, buff it with Flame Weapon to bring back Quelaag's signature weapon to life.

Table Key
There is a third sword-wielding knight, right next to the corpse with the skeptic's spice in the with theDrakkeeer en route to the egg. If the sword only drops from those bearing swords (as is standard), this is another option.

Says it has shorter reach than the broadsword but looks about the same length of the Drakekeeper's Sword. Can anyone confirm if the reach is that bad?
- Anonymous
Raw +5 and the Ring of Blades +2 -- 395 AR
Any elemental damage +5 and no rings -- 420 AR
I'm sorry, but how exactly is Raw the best infusion for this weapon?
- Anonymous
the second best straightsword...and requires almost no stat investment for you hp or stamina builds

so with fire infusion and flame weapon it deals 210 physical, and (210+50)x1.3 fire damage (338), before rings. as long as i'm doing quelaag's fury sword this looks viable to me

Wiki seems incorrect - I farmed one off the two sword-wielding knights up the stairs to the left of the mace-wielding drakekeeper, close to the beginning of the level (also got a warpick and a shield despite neither wielding a warpick, so that's weird). You can easily run by the first two drakekeepers so you only need to fight the 2 relevant dragon bros. The 2v1 fight can be tedious and it takes forever to farm this damn thing. Probably the hardest to farm weapon in the game, I think it took me longer than collecting the 50 souls for eleum loyce and the 30 sunlight medals for the sun sword combined, ugh. Personally I went with a dark orb setup, worked pretty decently. Good luck!

It would be a pretty good backup weapon for a mage if it didn't require 20 STR and 15 DEX. If you must use it, infuse it with Raw since it already has no scaling to speak of.

Without scaling what’s the point there are way better weapons I figured these would be op but noo

If anyone has a spare one they don't use, can I have it? KingGhidorah999.
The guy from FromSoftware in charge of the loot system and item drop rate of DS2 is a f***tard. Especially considering the non respawning enemy system. Even using personnal saves, obtaining this sword is such a drudgery, and is the opposite of fun. DS1 loot system was better balanced. TBH, in DS2 I spend most time copy-pasting my personnal saves than playing the game, because there is so many items that need an incredible luck to drop.

Anyone got an extra? (no luck so far farming with champion covenant for the scales/sword both) lol got the shield/pick already though.

Does the game officially designate this as a straight sword? Because it doesn't look like one.

sooooo can you grab the sword from any of the Black Dragon Knights who have the sword on them or only the one at the bottom of the stair? because I see no difference in him or the others, this website really *****s up on alot of specific details that are very important.

mundane +5 lowest stat 40 makes 360 damage + rign of blade 2 = 410 damage
Wiki is wrong this can be farmed from any Dragon Knight with a sword it seems, I think the wiki has this mixed up with the greatsword
