Retainer's Short Sword is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.

 

Short sword wielded by retainers in the Garrison Ward.

Long ago, the retainers attended to the priestesses, but with their disappearance, the retainers were left to wander frigid Eleum Loyce without purpose.

Hints and Tips:

  • Upgraded with Titanite to +10
  • Two handed moveset is identical to Royal Dirk, however it uses Dagger critical modifier.
  • Infuse with Magic to apply an incredible Magic base damage.
  • The only drawback would be its 30 durability, considered to be fragile.
  • Although it is called the "Retainer's Short Sword", the weapon type is actually classed as a dagger.
  • In SOTFS, the INT requirement for this weapon has been raised to 19.
