Spiral Rapier is a Thrusting Sword Weapon in Demon's Souls and Demon's Souls Remake. Thrusting Swords are fast, and are mainly used for thrusting. They specialize in piercing attacks and are best used to counter or follow-up an enemy's attack.
A rare rapier with spiral grooves carved into the blade. It is the weapon of choice of the stone gargoyles in Latria.
It is meant to inflict pain and cause bleeding rather than deal damage, which provides a glimpse into the insanity of the Old Monk.

AnonymousIs it a good idea to take this down the mercury path? Dealing poison and bleed at the same time sounds fun.
- Anonymous
this weapon does bleed damage
but you can't upgrade it to tearing? why
- Anonymous
I wonder if FS used this as inspiration for the iconic coiled sword in the souls series following Demon’s Souls.
- Anonymous
Am I the only one who thinks this is a really cool weapon?!?!
The original spiral rapier looks like it would break the moment you hit anything with it
