A weapon that attaches to the hands.

The wearer attacks in a scratching motion with these three-pronged claws. Claws inflict deep wounds and cause bleeding.

Acquired From

Purchased from Laddersmith Gilligan (1500 Souls after moving to Majula or 1200 while still in Earthen Peak)

Hints and Tips:

Note that you cannot use items (Pine Resin, Aromatic Ooze, etc.) to buff the Claws, however, infuse and buff them with spells.
Inflicts bleed by default, you can infuse it with bleed to slightly increase the bleed build up, and keep striking with power stance light attack.
Infusing this weapon with poison increases both bleed and physical damage making it one of the best infusions for the Claws. You can also use hte Crest of Blood ring and the Crest of the Rat ring, making it one of the hastest ways to apply both status effects.

  Who is in charge of reviewing revisions? This is atrocious! Bad English is bad, and also no weapon increases physical damage when infused with a poison stone, let alone bleeding. If that were true the table showing all the values would most certainly reflect it. Stop playing Souls games and start looking for your brain. You're embarrassing yourself.
