In-game description

Weapon type: Fists
Attack type: Strike

The Darkwraiths, incited by Kaathe, use the
power of the dark soul to absorb humanity, an
art shared by this weapon, which also acts as
a special shield. The ancients, particularly,
could sap the humanity of even a replete
saint in the blink of an eye.

Where to find

Covenant reward

The Abyss

Requirements

  • Defeat the Four Kings before placing the Lordvessel.
  1. Obtain the Lordvessel but leave it unplaced. Defeat Sif for the Covenant of Artorias ring. In New Londo, speak to Ingward on the ghost-house roof to receive the Key to the Seal, then use it to open the floodgate and drain the lower ruins.
  2. Equip the Covenant of Artorias ring, pass through the Four Kings fog and descend into the Abyss. Keep the ring on and defeat the Four Kings before placing the Lordvessel.
  3. Speak to Kaathe in the Abyss, accept his proposal and follow his Lordvessel instructions. Return with him and join the Darkwraith covenant. Placing the Lordvessel for Frampt before this route prevents this meeting.
  4. Joining the covenant awards the Dark Hand immediately. No Humanity donation is needed for this joining reward.

Enemy drop

New Londo Ruins

Requirements

  • Drain New Londo with the Key to the Seal.
  1. After opening the floodgate, descend into the lower city and defeat the armored Darkwraith enemies. Inspect their loot for the Dark Hand.
  2. These enemies respawn after resting, so repeat if needed. This drop route does not require joining Kaathe's covenant.

Notes

  • Requirements and weight: Has no attribute requirements and weighs 0.5.
  • No requirements or scaling: Has no attribute requirements, weighs 0.5 and gains no attack from attribute scaling. It cannot be reinforced or receive a normal weapon coating.
  • Hands: In the right hand it punches and can attempt a Humanity-draining grab on suitable targets. In the left hand it guards and can parry. The shield blocks only part of incoming damage and has low stability.
  • Humanity drain: The amount that can be drained depends on covenant rank and the target's remaining Humanity. It is not an unlimited source from every enemy. A failed grab against an awkwardly positioned NPC can become a damaging punch and make that NPC hostile.
