Uchigatana Location

After you beat the Iudex Gundyr, you’ll go left up the hill, towards Firelink Shrine. Instead of going through the gate, take a left and follow the walls. You’ll see a locked gate at the end of the road, with a man dressed in rags in front of it, holding a sword.

After you kill him, you’ll get the katana, some of his clothes and 2000 souls. He’s a tough opponent – you can try to parry his attacks, dodge them, or kick him into the abyss. If you do the latter, you’ll have to reload the game before you get the items. They’ll be on the ground near where he fell.

Uchigatana Stats & Description

uchigatana weapon stats dark souls 3Item Description:
A unique katana characterized by the fine craftsmanship of an eastern land where it was forged. The finely-sharpened blade cuts flesh like butter and causes bleeding, but breaks easily as a result.
The Uchigatana causes bleeding, in addition to the physical damage it does. The downside is that you’ll have to repair it rather frequently – carrying a few bags of repair powder at all times isn’t a bad idea, either. It starts off with a D in dexterity scaling, but we presume it improves as you reinforce it.

You’ll need at least 16 DEX and 11 STR to use it. It mostly relies on vertical slashing moves, with a few thrusts and a single horizontal swipe. The vertical slashes are great mostly because they don’t collide with walls, which makes fighting in tight corridors and around pillars a lot easier.
