Dark Souls III eGuide (Steam) Equipment Melee Weapons

Whips

Unusual weapons all around, Whips require high Dex to use, but have light weight and quick strikes. They can also deal Bleed or Poison damage, and the Impact move gives them a means of bypassing shields and damaging Stamina recovery.

This makes Whips an interesting choice for PvP players, and they can be a viable alternative to Daggers, Curved Swords, or Thrusting Swords if none of those suit your Dex build tastes.

A whip with thorny spikes that shred skin, causing heavy bleeding.

The Cleansing Chapel uses whips such as these in order to produce the drops and puddles to wipe clean during its rituals.

Skill: Impact

Strike from the left to evade shields and deal a stinging blow that temporarily slows stamina recovery. The shackles of bondage lie deep in the hearts of all humankind.

Spotted Whip

Whip mottled with venomous-looking spots. Favored by some female pyromancers of the Great Swamp.

As its noxious appearance would suggest, damage from this whip poisons its victims, slowly but surely guiding them to their deaths.

Skill: Impact

Strike from the left to evade shields and deal a stinging blow that temporarily slows stamina recovery. The shackles of bondage lie deep in the hearts of all humankind.

Found/Dropped: Undead Settlement outside Cornyx’s cage, defeat Old Demon King with White Phantom Great Swamp Cuculus

Whip

A leather whip that was never intended for use in combat.

Of little use against armor and tough scales, but quite formidable against enemies with exposed skin.

Skill: Impact

Strike from the left to evade shields and deal a stinging blow that temporarily slows stamina recovery. The shackles of bondage lie deep in the hearts of all humankind.

Witch’s Locks

A whip fashioned from the black hair of a daughter of the Witch of Izalith, creator of the Flame of Chaos.

The long, shining locks woven together to create this whip are imbued with the essence of fire, which can be channeled through the use of its Skill.

Skill: Flame Whip

Temporarily coat the whip in fire, the self-same fire as that which consumed the Witch herself, it is said.
