Weapon behavior

The long blade combines straight-sword slashes with consecutive one-handed strong thrusts. Those thrusts give it a different strong-attack pattern from the Longsword.

Maximum durability is 120. Repair between farming runs or longer areas rather than assuming every straight sword has the same durability.

Reinforcement and comparison

Normal physical damage scales mainly with Dexterity. Strength adds a smaller amount; meeting the Strength requirement does not make this a Strength-focused sword.

Normal reinforcement reaches +15. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11. Normal, Raw and Crystal versions can use resins and weapon-enchantment spells. Crystal reinforcement prevents ordinary repairs.

Magic and Enchanted add magical damage with Intelligence scaling; Divine and Occult use Faith. Fire and Lightning remove attribute scaling, while Chaos gains damage from held Humanity up to 10. These magical and elemental versions cannot receive temporary weapon coatings.

In-game description

Weapon type: Straight Sword
Attack type: Regular/Thrust

The knights of the ancient kingdom of Balder
wielded these rock-solid, long swords which
are excellent for thrust attacks.
Balder was the home of Knight King Rendal,
but the kingdom was reduced to ruins after
a widespread outbreak of Undead.

Where to find

Enemy drop

Undead Parish

Requirements

Reach this farming area.

Start at Andre's bonfire and climb the stairs toward the church. Cross the walkway and look for Balder Knights carrying a straight sword and a large shield.
Defeat the sword-carrying knights in and around the church and inspect their loot. The rapier variant has a different weapon drop. Return to the bonfire to reset these enemies and repeat.

Enemy drop

Sen's Fortress

Requirements

Reach the rooftop section of Sen's Fortress.

From the rooftop bonfire, climb back onto the roof and follow the upper walkways toward the Flame Stoneplate Ring side of the fortress.
Kill the sword-carrying Balder Knights on this side and check the loot. Rest to repeat; a sword is not guaranteed on each kill.
