Curved Swords
Curved Swords combine speed, Dexterity scaling, and fluid movesets, making them excellent for players who favor hit-and-run tactics. Their attacks are swift and maintain good forward momentum, allowing pressure even in tight spaces where foes cannot easily evade. Although their reach and damage per hit are lower compared to Straight Swords, their faster swing speed and evasive flip-slash attacks set them apart. Curved Swords also pair well with weapon buffs, enabling them to chip away at opponents quickly before retreating to safety.
Falchion
Small curved sword. Each hit inflicts little damage, but fluid chain attacks are deadly.
The falchion's sharp slashing attacks are effective against cloth and flesh, but not against metal armor or tough scales.

| Damage: |
The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:
Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types. |
| Critical: | One of the multipliers (in percent) for the bonus damage on criticals, such as backstabs and ripostes. |
| Durability: | The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%. |
| Weight: | The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned. |
| Stats Needed: |
The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon. Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. |

Gold Tracer
Curved sword used by the Lord's Blade Ciaran, one of Lord Gwyn's Four Knights.
Ciaran brandishes her sword in a mesmerizing dance, etching the darkness with dire streaks of gold.
Availability
Given by Lord's Blade Ciaran in return for the Soul of Artorias
Drops from Lord's Blade Ciaran if not given her the Soul of Artorias
General Information
Bleed buildup is 40 per strike
When equipped in the left hand, instead of a parry (L2) and single attack (L1), the right handed strong attacks are used instead (L1 is the first attack, and L2 is the follow up attack). Uniquely for left-handed attacks, it still retains the event state of a parry although it has no parry frames, allowing for it to be cancelled for a Parry Backstab.

Quelaag's Furysword
A curved sword born from the soul of Quelaag, daughter of the Witch of Izalith, who was transformed into a chaos demon.
Like Quelaag's body, the sword features shells, spikes, and a coating of chaos fire.
Power affected by wielder's humanity.
Availability
Created by the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo from the Soul of Quelaag and any +10 Curved Sword for 5,000 Souls
General Information
While this weapon has only average stats for a curved sword, it is notable for its high fraction of Fire damage. At low Dexterity and Humanity, Fire damage outnumbers Physical damage nearly three-to-one. Thus, the Furysword is an excellent choice against Fire-weak enemies and shields.
While attacking with this weapon, it will ignite and show a fiery trail. This effect will stop when the attack animation ends. Landing on an enemy also triggers a fire effect.

Key
| Damage: |
The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:
Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types. |
| Critical: | One of the multipliers (in percent) for the bonus damage on criticals, such as backstabs and ripostes. |
| Durability: | The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%. |
| Weight: | The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned. |
| Stats Needed: |
The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon. Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. |
| Damage Reduction %: |
The Damage Reduction stat dictates the percentage of damage reduced while blocking. The Damage Reduction stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
|
| Stability: | The stability of the weapon. The higher this value, the less stamina is consumed when blocking attacks. |
| Frampt Souls: | This is the amount of souls players will receive if they feed the item to Kingseeker Frampt. |
