Erdsteel Dagger

The Erdsteel Dagger is a royal dagger whose damage also grows with Faith. It scales D in Strength, Dexterity and Faith and needs 7 Strength, 12 Dexterity and 14 Faith. Its skill is Quickstep.

It really comes alive with a Faith-based affinity, making it a natural sidearm for Faith characters.

Where to find it

Kenneth Haight gives it to you after you help him retake Fort Haight.

Another copy is in Leyndell, Royal Capital, in a sunken area beneath the wing of the great fallen dragon, near a fire-breathing gargoyle statue. From the Avenue Balcony Site of Grace, go northwest along the avenue and drop into the pit on the far left.

Item description & lore

Members of the Erdtree royalty carried this finely made erdsteel dagger for self-defence in peaceful times. A grass crest is engraved on the blade.

Notes & tips

  • Excellent on the Flame Art and Sacred affinities, and below average on the rest. Its Faith scaling applies to the physical damage too, so these affinities let it double-dip, especially with Flaming Strike or Sacred Blade.
  • Has a special double-hit heavy attack shared with the Black Knife, Blade of Calling and Fire Knight’s Shortsword.
