Bloodhound Claws

Large curved claws used by Bloodhound Knights.

The curve allows the weapon to slip through an enemy's guard.

The Bloodhound Claws weapon can be found at the following location:

• Bloodhound Claws can be dropped by a Lesser Bloodhound Knight in the basement of the Volcano ManorGrace. [Map Link]

• Video Location

• Weapon Skill: Bloodhound's Step.

• This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War

• Can be buffed by Magic or Consumables

• Bloodhound Claws can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones.

• Much like Quickstep, the innate Ash of War Skill: Bloodhound's Step can be used to move through Lava and other slowing environments without any movement penalties making it optimal for certain dungeons that contain them (e.g. Gelmir Hero's GraveGrace and its lava area).

• Anti-block: Light attacks ignore 50% damage negation from blocks; heavy and charged attacks ignore more.

• Sell Value: 100.

• NOTE: As of Patch 1.08, the speed of some attacks has been increased and the recovery time has been reduced. Also, poise damage of Claws has been increased. Weapon Arts remain unchanged.

• NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below.

• NOTE: Patch 1.13 Increased poise damage of dual wield attacks of all Claws (in PVP)
