Royal Dirk is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.

A dagger fashioned from rare geisteel, boasting an unusually long blade.

Geisteel was a precious alloy created in the eastern land of Mirrah, its composition long kept secret from foreign lands.

That is, until Chancellor Wellager was ordered by King Vendrick to grant the gifted blacksmith Llewellyn a lifetime contract, whatever the cost, in order to introduce the rare alloy to Drangleic.

Acquired From

• Gift from Chancellor Wellager in Drangleic Castle after defeating the Giant Lord boss. You must visit and talk to him. He will give you this weapon along with an Espada Ropera

Hints and Tips:

• Reinforced with Twinkling Titanite to +5
• This dagger features a long blade, and was originally carried by Chancellor Wellager.
• Despite the game labeling it as a dagger, the 1H moveset is the same as some straight swords, however the 2H moveset gives the weapon the generic Dagger moveset. (Similar to the Black Flamestone Dagger)
• Consequently, due to the weapon being a mixture of a straight sword and dagger, the backstab and riposte animations are that of a straight sword, and therefore lack the damage of normal daggers on those animations.
• Alternatively, you can wield Espada Ropera on the right hand to replicate the "Rapier & Dagger" style.
