Tips

  • The Durendal is a good choice to use with the Blade Staff due to its high summon tag damage.
  • If the player can switch weapons fast enough, they can get all the melee speed buffs from the Snapthorn, the Durendal, and the Dark Harvest at the same time. Strike an enemy with one, then select the next, and finally select the last whip and receive its bonus. However, this strategy is very impractical without other bonuses, because by the time the player selects the last whip, the first buff might have already run out. The strategy could be complemented by equipping the Obsidian armor, or by only using two of the whips at a time.

Trivia

  • This item's name is in reference to a historical sword of the same name, wielded by the paladin Roland of Charlemagne's court.
  • The Durendal's inventory sprite is unique among whips in that it resembles a sword.
  • The design of the Durendal being a sword with a long, segmented, and flexible whip-like blade could be a reference to the urumi, a similar weapon originating from the Indian subcontinent.
