Damascus Sword

A Damascus Sword is any sword created with Damascus Steel, a semi-mythical alloy that is both hard and flexible. Their surfaces can show complex designs.

= Damascus Swords in Castlevania = Damascus swords first appear in Symphony of the Night and then return in Curse of Darkness.

Appearance in Symphony of the Night
The Damascus Sword in Symphony of the Night appears as a double sided straight and purplish Long Sword. It is the second sword you can afford to purchase at the Master Librarian's shop and is about three times as costly as a Saber, but a less than half as costly as one of the elemental "brand" swords (such as the Firebrand). It is a basic sword slightly stronger than the Bekatowa (which is also a Long Sword) and slightly weaker than a Bastard Sword. The only other way to acquire this weapon is to take one from a Corner Guard in the Royal Chapel. It is the most powerfull basic sword you can find (other than some dropped swords) without defeating Shaft's hold on Richter and venturing into the Inverted Castle.

Appearance in Curse of Darkness
The Damascus Sword in Curse of Darkness evolves from a line of ornate severely curved sword, the Kris Naga and its predecessor, the Ada. This sword loses much of its curvature though and contains a dragon-shaped Hilt. To make one, just add a Damascus Steel to your Kris Naga.

This sword forms the center blade of the 7 Bladed Sword, from which six Short Swords will protrude from when combined with a Beelzebub's Seal and a Dark Crystal. You will need to add another Damascus Sword to your 7 Bladed Sword along with several other swords to create the legendary Laser Sword.

To create a Damascus Sword from scratch, you will need the following materials: The selling price is $750, which is just over the combined selling price of its component materials of $630.
 * 4 Bronze
 * 2 Wild Memory
 * 1 Ceramic Tool
 * 1 Ancient Memory
 * 1 Dragon Steel
 * 1 Ether
 * 1 Damascus Steel

Appearance in Portrait of Ruin
The Damascus Sword makes its third appearance in Portrait of Ruin. It is the strongest horizontal swinging sword in the game.
