When DS1 came out we thought we were so clever to find this sword. It lets you cheese the burg sure, but the burg is so easy it is much more effective to use a starter weapon and actually git gud early rather than being flattened later on
If you defeat the Dragon without cutting off its tail then you don't get another chance till the next playthrough. Same with most other boss tail weapons. (Of course, if you managed to kill Hellkite Dragon then you probably don't need this weapon.)
u have to go under the bridge before reachin the poison rats and shoot the tail from under the bridge with arrows,i even did it with the cheapest arrows,havnt used the sword yet ,dnt know if i will but i like collecting stuff
Lets be honest anyone who thinks this sword is bad is **** at the game for not knowing a thing about scaling, this sword is easy to get (if you do it the right way not the arrows way) and its just free easy dmg just sitting there and doesnt require much leveling to use, its good for anyone whos making a pvp character and is rushing through the game to get stuff for his build or on a character who doesnt have enough points on str or dex yet to use a reliable weapon
If you simply can't find him after aggro-ing him, and he flies off never to be seen again, you just need to go to an area that you've never been to before, let that map load, and then return. He should reappear from the sky if he isn't actually "dead". Happened to me and I was super upset until I found this fix.
Far too many a weapon have gone down this same road
Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
