Knight Sword Analysis

Stronger Than Long Sword But Rarer

The Knight Sword has a longer reach and better offensive power than the Long Sword but it is a bit harder to get. One can be found in 1-4: Penetrator Archstone as a treasure or by farming Red Eye Knights.

Alternatively, the Dregling Merchant in 1-3: Tower Knight Archstone sells it for 20,000 Souls.

Knight Sword Recommended Upgrade

Any path is recommended for the Knight Sword although the Dragon Knight Sword should not be a priority. While it has immense power, it does not have bonuses on stats as the other Long Swords.
