Broken Straight Sword is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.

Straight Sword with its blade broken near in half. Nearly useless in battle, but "nearly useless" trumps "empty-handed. 

Acquired From

• Warrior starting equipment.
• Sold by Merchant Hag Melentia for 400 souls.
• Treasure in the Forest of Fallen Giants: Right next to the Heide Knight (Knight In White) on the big tree In The Crestfallen's Retreat.
• SOTFS: Two can be found on corpses strewn around the big tree.

Hints and Tips:

• Curiously, when dual-wielded with the Estoc (Broken Straight Sword in the left hand), L1 attacks cost just as much stamina as R1 attacks, but with the additional damage bonus.
• Despite the comparatively low attack power, the Broken Straight Sword has extremely low stamina drain. This can result in heavy damage, provided the target doesn't get pushed out the weapon's reach or manage to "poise out" of the combo.
• Highly recommended for Mundane build.
• When elementally infused, the low weight and VERY low stat requirements make it useful for providing auxiliary elemental damage options for a variety of builds.
