Cursed Dual Katana is the game's mythic dual sword: enormous damage and hitboxes with very long range, as long as you land your combos with precision. Its moves don't offer true stuns and are easily dodged with 
Instinct, but its [X] is renowned for punishing 
Dragon users.
How to get it
You need to be level 2200+, have 350 
Mastery on 
Yama AND 
Tushita, then complete the Cursed Dual Katana puzzle (a long quest in multiple stages on the 
Third Sea). No purchase possible: puzzle only.

The puzzle in brief
The puzzle requires you to gather the two cursed katanas then chain together multiple trials across the Third Sea (puzzles, secret rooms and battles). Plan for a full session: it's one of the longest quests in the game, but the sword is worth the effort.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Very high damage with exceptional sword range
- [X] Slayer of Goliath punishes Dragon users and flying targets
- Excellent in combo with a stunning fruit
- Unique dual-blade style, very satisfying to play
- No true stun: easy to dodge with Instinct
- Requires precision, punishing if you miss your moves
- Very long to obtain (level 2200 + dual mastery 350 + puzzle)
Our take
One of the best endgame swords for PvP if you can land your combos. If you're looking for a simpler, more forgiving sword, pick something else; if you want prestige and maximum potential, go for it.
