A Bakatwa is a traditional African daggar.
Bakatwa in Castlevania
The Bakatwa appears as a full sized sword in Castlevania, rather than a dagger. It is mistranslated "Bekatowa" in the English version of Symphony of the Night and makes a return in Portrait of Ruin.
Appearance in Symphony of the Night
The Bekatowa is the next strongest basic sword after the Broadsword and not quite as strong as a Damascus Sword. You can first get a tantalyzing glimpse of it when you first make it up to the very top of the Outer Wall and venture onto crumbling the bridge to the Clock Tower. It is perched on a pedestal way just out of reach unless you use the wolf form to jump from it (even with a double jump once obtained), positioned slightly above and between a Shaman Shield and an Ice Mail which are sitting on their own pedestels. You will go through a lot before you are able to reach it with a Form of Bat. If you can't wait until then, you can always challenge the Sword Lord near the bottom of the Outer Wall for his. Good luck. (You can actually get it with the wolf form off the ledge of the clock tower).
