The Parrying Dagger is a Dagger in Elden Ring.
When to Use It
Early game. It is found around Murkwater Cave, in the opening stretch of a run, so it is one of the first real upgrades you can carry.
Upgrades
- Upgrades with ordinary Smithing Stones to +25.
- Can be buffed with a grease or a spell, which a Somber weapon cannot.
Build
It scales Str E, Dex C, so Dex is where the levels go.
- Requires Str 5, Dex 14.
- Takes any Ash of War and any affinity, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are levelling.
Critical Damage
Critical 110. A backstab, or a riposte after a guard break, is multiplied by this, where 100 is the baseline most weapons carry.
- 2 weapons of its class reach higher, topping out at 140.
- It pays for getting behind an enemy or breaking their stance rather than trading hits in the open.
Notes
- A knife with curved handguards. Designed to parry, turning foes' attacks against them.
- For masters of combat who anticipate every enemy strike and counter accordingly, this weapon is all they need.
Where to Find
- 1 can be bought from Patches for 1,600 Runes in any of his locations (Murkwater Cave is the earliest).
