Secret Dagger is a Dagger Weapon in Demon's Souls and Demon's Souls Remake. The dagger is a type of weapon which is small and fast straight sword type weapons with high attack speed and featuring a horizontal slash and pierce moveset.
This versatile single-edged dagger is standard issue for the King's spies.
Slashing weapons inflict heavy damage on soft flesh but have a limited effect on metal armor and hard scales.
Daggers deal the most damage after parrying, or better yet, stuck squarely in an enemy's back.

I got a +4 Crescent Secret Dagger after only doing 1-1, 1-2, and 4-1. I have 19 Magic and this thing has +83 Physical ATK and +90 - Bonus +36 Magical ATK. I killed the phantom in the pit Patches kicks you in one, 1H R1 spam with base stamina. This dagger is super fun so far. Would recommend for Magic users so far.
Very easy to get as well, just have to traverse two floors of the prison. It's on the floor above the arcstone in the room with all of the prisoners crowding the door (same room with the claws).

IDK who is the dumbass who said this is on the second floor of the prison, but its located on the fourth. its in the prison cell where like 5 or 6 prisoners are crowding the entrance

I mean I have the meat cleaver, but I find myself almost exclusively my quality secret dagger. At 30/25 str/dex it stun-locks anything even remotely human to death. The only time i find myself using the MC is to DONK big uglies.

There's a mistake in the secret dagger +10 row; the strength scaling is under aux column.

This weapon sucks. There is a lot of information about it leaked, including here, so clearly its not a secret.
The new piratey look is awesome, but unfortunately the crit damage is outclassed by a fatal estoc

On an SL1 playthrough, would the loss in base damage from going fatal still result in stronger crits than keeping it normal or going crescent? Fatal seems like it loses a lot of AR if you don't have high dexterity and I'm curious if the crit multiplier outweighs that on an unleveled character.
