Whip is a Weapon in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered.

Leather whip. Not intended for battle.
Virtually ineffective against armor and tough scales, but quite formidable against enemies with exposed skin."

How to Get / Where to Find the Whip

Blighttown upper area. On a small platform, near the top of the sewer-shaft that ends up behind the lower bonfire.
Video Location Timestamp 9:25

NOTE

Give to Frampt to receive 50 souls.
No drop attack
Cannot backstab
Cannot Riposte after Parry
Decent scaling and the ability to parry when equipped on the off-hand give this weapon some value when dualwielding. Unfortunately the dual-wield mechanic in Dark Souls is underwhelming, meaning the whip is mostly used as a roleplay/showy weapon.

  I'd love to know why Remastered still has Whips hitting ground during it's animation, cause a deflected blow from something that obviously shouldn't. That's the whole gimmick, you can't pull off Crits and you shouldn't be able to Parry.
