Puzzling Stone Sword is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.
A sword with a segmented blade.When swung its segments separate and the sword strike in a whipping slash.
Crafted with rare magnetic stone of remarkable strength only found within caves of the gutter.
Acquired From
- In Dragon's Sanctum, in the long, narrow pathway with the little staircase (with the hole). Jump over the hole in the staircase and search for a quadratic hole in the wall; shoot at the plate you see at the the end of it using a bow to open a door, but don't go in yet. Afterwards, follow the hallway; at the end of the hallway, search the high wall for another plate and shoot it. Now go back to the previous door and enter. There will be an enemy to left, two downstairs to the right, and a floor switch that activates a trap. After you've killed them, you should see three chests: two wooden and one metal one, the metal one holds the sword.
- You can receive one as a rare drop by helping another player with Graverobber, Varg and Cerah.
- You can receive another one as loot on the big Worm before the Graverobber, Varg, and Cerah boss.
Hints and Tips:
- Upgraded with Twinkling Titanite to +5.
- The only straight sword in the game to have a 2 handed R1 thrusting attack.
- The sword when swung certain ways appears to spread out into smaller pieces and whip around in an elastic motion before quickly regaining its original shape.
- Although the R2 looks like an whip attack, it can be parried.
- Has exceptional 2H tracking stab attacks. This is the only straight sword in the entire game with a handed thrusting normal attack.
- Can also do large combos with enough stamina: 2HR1 2HR1 2HR2 2HR2 as the first 2HR2 is 360 degrees and wide, depending on endurance can hit a total of 6 times.
- This weapon is also used left handed by the 'Faraam Warrior' in the Frigid Outskirts.
- Due to the unpredictability of this weapon, it can be very effective at catching foes with their guard down.

Parameter Bonus: Strength, Dexterity,Magic, Fire, Lightning and Dark bonuses - The scaling multiplier applied to the [Attack: stat]. Scaling quality is from highest to lowest as follows: S/A/B/C/D/E.
The higher the player's [Str, Dex, Mag, Fire, Light] stat, the higher the [Attack Bonus: Stat] is (found on the player status screen). The higher the scaling letter, the higher the percent multiplier applied to the [Attack: Stat].
This resulting bonus damage is added to the base physical damage of the weapon and is shown in the equipment screen in blue numbers as a "+ X".
Durability: The weapon's HP, when the durability hits 0, the effectiveness of its attacks become weakened to the point of almost uselessness. When an items durability is low, a message will come up saying "Weapon At Risk!" at this point the weapon does not perform at it's best.
Weight: How much the item weights when equipped.
Stability: How well the player keeps stance after being hit
Attack Type: Defines what kind of swing set the weapon has.

Give Dark Souls 2 crap all you want, you have to admit that it has some of the coolest, most unique and downright beautiful weapons in the series.

Love this sword for a sorcerer. Don't need super high damage because of weapon buff, low requirements, plus looks super cool with crystal magic weapon.
- Anonymous
Am I the only one that loves this weapon, but hates how poorly it upgrades? If it was only going to upgrade to 145 base, why not start lower? Puzzling indeed.
One of the lowest requirement weapons that's actually any good, a sorcerer can two-hand it and its long range makes it useful as a safe option to dispatch enemies without wasting spells or as a last resort.

Infused it with magic and despite still showing me S scaling in dex it produces a minuscule bonus. +5 normal was 145 + 101 in physical, now its 91 + 34, which is only about a half of the original bonus multiplier

Awww man, when I found it I thought maybe it could kill these ghost thingies. Missed chance at awesomeness and lore.

this is my favorite weapon in this game. but i am disappointed that powerstancing 2 of them doesnt have a special moveset. just the typical powerstanced straight sword moveset

Kind of a late note but it can be enchanted through spells and items even after you infuse it with an element, really ups the damage and it's probably one of the best swords for dex builds with int / fth

Although the moveset is very handy and has a unique effect in PVP, it unfortunantly has almost zero benefit in upgrading it. Don't bother with the fifteen twinkling titanites, you'd get way more extra AR from more dex.

The 2 handed R1's tracking is honestly not good. One handed R2 has low damage and poisebreaking. Come on. Don't be like NG newbie. We all know that this is not that viable weapon for real PvP. Just tricky.

I'm pretty sure this thing was a prototype of the Threaded Cane in Bloodborne.

Power stancing two of these gives you a basic straight sword power stance moveset, nothing special :(
- Anonymous
Super late, but I infused it with dark and can confirm it keeps S scaling for dex
- Anonymous
It keeps the S scaling in dex even with infusion, os that correct?

Very good weapon for its combos, range and speed. Might deal less damage than others on paper, but the combos more than make up for it.

Stellar damage output when combined with Ring of Blades and Flynn's Ring. Makes for a nice pocket-sized trick on low-carry builds.

This weapon isn't intended to be smashing*****...But it's bloody fantastic in the black gulch to shatter poison statues with it's whip attacks. And it's got excellent durability for a small sword. Fun to play with, 7/10
