General Information
This weapon cannot be upgraded except with the Pureblood Demon's Soul to upgrade it to the Blueblood Sword. It can be found on a corpse in the western half of the Valley of Defilement's poison swamp, guarded by a Black Phantom wielding a Meat Cleaver. Without being buffed or upgraded, it is one of the weakest weapons in the game even when the player has sufficient stats to wield it effectively.
