The Frozen Blade
A huge greatsword made out of crystal-like ice. Within the ice you can clearly see an old, white sword. The sword within releases a strong, shining aura.
Description
This sword was one of the five swords forged out of a rare metal to hunt dragons. Forged within Astora, it was blessed with the rays of the sun, able to pierce through the scales of a dragon with no difficulty whatsoever. At some point it was lost within a cold cave, slowly being frozen solid within the ice.
Effects
The weapon slowly damages the wielders health, as well as slows the stamina recovery. Whatever it hits, gives the same effect.
If it hits any surface, such as a wall, floor or roof, it will crack, take some damage and release a cold gas that damages anyone within it.
Moveset
ALL attacks take durability from the weapon.
One-handed:
Regular attacks are slow, and when in contact with any object(such as hitting a wall or the floor), pieces of the sword will break, releasing a cold gas that damages anyone within it, including the wielder.
The Strong attack starts off with a slow horizontal slash, but pressing the button again leads to a very fast vertical attack. As it hits the ground, the weapon will lose 50% durability.
Two-handed:
Regular attacks work the same way as one-handed once, but are faster. However, two-handing it means that the weapon takes even more durability. As you use the strong attack, the character will lift the weapon above his head, and then shove it into the ground. Ice will come out of the ground around him. If an enemy is targeted when using this, the ice will appear near its location instead. Using this attack takes 75% durability.
Other attacks:
Rolling, no matter one-handed or two-handed, always leads to a vertical slash. Using the jumping attack, your character will point his sword downwards, getting stuck in the ground, or hitting an enemy in the chest/back, depending on if it's succesful or not. If it gets stuck in the ground, you'll be left open for attacks, as you try to pull it out. The weapon will also take 60% durability damage if it gets stuck in the ground. Backstabbing someone, has you slashing them by the ankles, quickly swinging the blade in a 360 degree, then hitting them in the chest as they lie down on the ground. Riposting someone has you stabbing them in the chest, lifting the sword up in the air, then smashing it into the ground with them still on it.
Location
Found within a frozen cave. May be hard to spot as it's made out of ice, just as the rest of the cave.
Other Notes
Going to a blacksmith, you can for a huge amount of souls, crack the ice, getting the sword hidden within it instead.
The sword inside is a legendary divine longsword aka Sunray Blade.
Sunray Blade
A longsword, with a golden hilt shaped as two dragons. The edge, shiny white, carved in an ancient language. The sword releases a strong, shining aura.
Description
This sword was one of the five swords forged out of a rare metal to hunt dragons. Forged within Astora, it was blessed with the rays of the sun, able to pierce through the scales of a dragon with no difficulty whatsoever. At some point it was lost within a cold cave, slowly being frozen solid within the ice.
Effects
Wielding this weapon highly increases your defense against dragons.
Works as a source of light. Even better when the two-handed strong attack has been used.
Moveset
One-handed:
Regular attacks are quick and do piercing damage.
The strong attack is a healing spell, healing 10% of your health at the cost of 75% of its durability.
Two-handed:
The regular attacks are slower, more precise(piercing damage) while two-handing the weapon.
Using the strong attack, your character will lift the sword up in the air, releasing the aura upon any foes nearby. It does divine damage, as well as blinds foes temporarily. It also makes the aura of the sword shine stronger than usual, making it a even better source of light. It costs 50% durability.
Other attacks:
Rolling, while one-handed, leads to a stabbing attack. Rolling while two-handed, however, leads to a 360 swing. The jumping attack works the same way any other longsword's jumping attack would in DkS. Instead of kicking, you hit an enemy with the sword hilt. Backstabbing someone results in you stabbing them close to the neck, forcing it in. Riposting someone has you kick them down, then stab them in the chest as they lie on the ground.
Location
Found within a frozen cave. May be hard to spot as it's made out of ice, just as the rest of the cave.
Other Notes
The sword is found inside of The Frozen Blade.
