Description

Curved sword wielded by the Pontiff's knights, frigid spirits that linger in Irithyll.

The large blade appears to be eaten away by insects, making it lightweight but also brittle.

Skill: Frost Blade
Execute large spinning motion to imbue blade with frost, and follow through with a strong attack that slashes with a giant blade made of frost.

Location

Dropped by Pontiff Knights who wield it in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley.
