Demon's Catalyst | Dark Souls Wiki

Using this catalyst for melee is as idiotic as using a shield for melee

If you are playing INT/DEX build this catalyst is better for dark sorcery than any other.

So go for this and forget about Manus Big Bonk and it's halved spells casts.

Worth noting that the Demon's catalyst, and various spells or weapons result in fewer total souls dropped by enemies, provided they land the finishing blow.

IE: The flames produced will burn away a portion of the target's souls, resulting in less payoff.

EX: 360 souls dropped from killing an enemy with a normal weapon or spell
300 souls dropped if killing blow was from demon's catalyst boop, or fire tempest, fire surge, etc.

Love the poke on this catalyst but damn I wish you held it lower

This is a very solid melee weapon for quality builds and mages. 10 intelligence is the minimum to follow Logan's story so it's far from wasted stat points. Int is also needed for any of the three Artorias swords. Strike damage, for armor, shields, skeletons and even stone demons. Flame damage for most undead, plants, slimes, painted world and flame stagger. Mages should consider 12 Strength to use this one handed as there primary melee weapon while casting with Ivory (Demon 4 weight + ivory 0.5 weight) until intelligence level 28. At that point you should have a +5 magic weapon as an alternative.

This thing is very good for people using dark spells, or who mainly uses buffs and focuses on melee with magic weapons! I often use it on my pyro/dark sorcerer build for an effective melee quick attack if I have my hands full with my casting tools. ... now if only they'd brought it back for dark souls 3, and made the weapon art temporarily make sorcery do fire damage instead, or give a small fiery AoE akin to what the Demon Firesage does in this game.

While I can't fairly evaluate this catalyst's poke damage, it's -very- high compared to other many other weapons and it scales primarily with INT but also secondarily with STR and DEX! If you want to melee and cast, this is a solid all-around item to use!

Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag on this thing's crazy poke damage, LB. Now every low-SL twink in existence is going to have one of these in their left pocket.

The dark orb casted with this catalist also deals fire demage
