It features a potent thrusting attack when two-handing, making it exceptionally fast and versatile. The weapon has a full set of thrusting attacks, except for the one-handed strong attack, which delivers a slashing motion.
Standard straight sword.
This straight sword is sufficient in most respects, and effective in most situations if wielded properly. Those who aspire to master the sword are certain to wield this at some point during their journey.
How to get Longsword in Dark Souls 2
- A Fire Longsword can be acquired from a cavern near the Cardinal Tower bonfire (The one with the Flame Lizard at the end, behind a broken grate), this variant is commonly used by beginners and seasoned players alike, as enemies in this area are susceptible to fire. Most enemies later on are not.
- Sold by Blacksmith Lenigrast for 1300 souls.
- Drop from Darkdwellers in No-Man's Wharf.
- In Majula Mansion as limited edition reskinned weapon during the release of Crown of the Ivory King DLC, and with the 1.10 patch. See Events for seasonal details.
DS2 Longsword Hints and Tips
- The Longsword has slightly lower base damage than a Broadsword, but it has a powerful thrusting attack when 2-handing and exceptionally fast, which the broadsword lacks and is overall one of the most versatile weapons in the game.
- Has a full suit of thrusting attacks except for the one handed strong attack which is a slashing attack.
- The 2 handed thrust has a Counter Modifier of 100 instead of 110. Therefore you can't inflict Counter damage with it unless you have the Old Leo Ring equipped.
- The one handed normal attack is incredibly fast and can easily catch opponents midroll if they try to roll through your attack.
- Most heavily armored enemies, such as the large sentinels in Heide's Tower of Flame and many bosses, are resistant to straight sword slashing damage but weak to strike (blunt) damage. Upgrade weapons with different damage types or you will struggle with some enemies.

old reliable at its finest here, put on stone ring/leo ring and call up rob flynn and enjoy the easiest pvp wins you'll probably ever see with running 2h r1>r1>r2>r2

Very good moveset, low stamina consumption, quick startup on most attacks. Lightweight. Deceptively high DPS. The 2hR2 is particularly good.
Don't be afraid of the simplicity, it's a great weapon for pvp or pve.
- Anonymous
Every NPC invader in the game is utterly baffled by the 2-handed R2 poke. They walk right into it, over and over, and then they die. It's both funny and sad.

If you beef up that fire longsword you can find in cardinal tower , it will serve you well, and serve your enemies well done.

How about you have a taste of my *Looong Sword*
That line will forever haunt my dreams :3

Idk, I can't unequip it even though I am about to fight final bosses already. Its moveset is just too good. Not a single other sword felt as good as this one.

This, with off hand mace, and maybe a crossbow for range, will cover almost everything you will need.

It requires 10 str 10 dex, Not sure why it's showing it as 10 str 9 dex here...

I’m destroying everything with the fire long sword from early game. R2 spam, tank build with heavy drangleic armor, just feeding it all the stones for dmg instead of piddly plus one from strength levels ups. The split dmg is so good. Got to the lava place but the knights can’t take 4 thrusts.

Get the Petrified Something gift and trade it at the tillo nest (reroll as needed) to get titanite slab. Get longsword and make it +10.

Probably one of the most basic weapons in the game. Which ironically, makes it one of the most useful, too. No crazy gimmicks or stat requirements to worry about.

Versatile weapon (with fast swings and a thrust), and as such is good for early game when you don't have many materials for upgrade nor much variety of weapons in hand. The game even give you a fire infused one for free in the 1st area with B scaling for fire (useful for magic/pyro/faith/hex builds). But as the games progress the gap between it and more specialized weapons gets more and more obvious. Matching the enemy weakness with a appropriated basic weapon (rapier, mace, varangian sword) even with minimum stats requirement will already outperform long sword by a far margin.

this is literally the most basic weapon in the game... and also the strongest
the fume sword is not much worse
I really don't see how you guys think this is a mediocre weapon, it has the best moveset in the game, with the 2 hand thrusts and the 1 hand sweeps (the strengths of the drakekeeper's sword and sun sword). It even has good damage with the right build. It isn't the longest straight sword, but it is still long enough.
- Anonymous
Not only longsword but every straight sword that has two-handed thrusting attack(the same moveset) has 100 counter modifier for that moveset. Shortsword, Ashen warrior sword and Foot soldier sword.

Only 110 counter strength, none with 2H thrusts and no 1H thrust attack. Shame.

So in this day and age are you still able to get the reskins that were first available during 2014? Shame if no.

In my opinion this is the best overall weapon in Dark Souls 2 It contains everything that you need : good scaling C on STR and DEX , an okay durability, excellent moveset in all terms one handed R2 attacks are excellent for crowd control , two handed R2 perfect to stun lock opponents , and roll attacks are thrust attacks wich if you combine with the Old Leo Ring gives you a sweet combination and most important this weapon it's pretty easy to get it.

Best sword in the game in my opinion I do around 435 damage 40 strength and 30 dex 50 intelligence I switch with fire clutch and lightning clutch and dominate I also use red twin blades for resistant foes but otherwise even in ng+ long swords are really effective

Isn't this more strength even tho it says C for scaling on both?
- Anonymous
You forgot to mention that the 2-handed thrusting strong attack can stun-lock most of the enemies infinitely, making it a very over-powered weapon.
