Straight Sword Hilt is a Weapon in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered.

 

The hilt of this lost sword was found discarded in the Undead Asylum."
"Only slightly better than one's bare hands, and not recommended for extensive use. Be certain to find a replacement quickly."

 

How to Get / Where to Find the Straight Sword Hilt

  • The weapon every newly created character starts with, equipped in right hand.
  • Can only be obtained once per character, unless dropped by another player in co-op. It cannot be farmed, found on a corpse, or generated when starting a New Game plus.

 

Hints and Tips:

  • Can be given to Kingseeker Frampt to receive 50 Souls.
  • The lightest weapon of all Straight Swords, which has 1.0 weight compared to Broken Straight Sword's 2.0 weight. It also has less range and deals significantly less damage than the Broken Straight Sword.
  • The best weapon while unupgraded to use if one were to practice parrying against various foes without killing them too fast, or at all.
  • Can be upgraded to +10 and later ascended with the Soul of Sif to make the uncursed version of Greatsword of Artorias. Although, it is better to use the readily available Broken Straight Sword for that instead.
