Whip Sword DoS Icon

The Whip Sword is an extendable sword with a whip-like blade, probably a reference to the Vampire Killer or to whips in general, which have been one of the most notorious features in the Castlevania universe.

Game specific information[]

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow[]

The Whip Sword has the longest range for forward pointing weapons. It is swung in a horizontal manner, which releases its extendible blade forward a long distance. Still, other than this functional characteristic, it's really not all that different from any normal sword attribute-wise. It is found in the Study, in a room behind the giant demon face statue which only opens its jaws when facing facing away from it; use back dash to get through (this room is located opposite to the boss's room).

The Whip Sword is one of the most powerful weapons Soma Cruz can find at that point in the game and it can prove very useful against the next boss, the Great Armor, as it will allow him to deal good damage while also keeping a moderately safe distance. Due to this particular characteristic, even when more powerful weapons will become available to the player as the game progresses, the Whip Sword can still prove to be useful against certain other bosses (such as the Big Golem).

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow[]

The Whip Sword returns in Dawn of Sorrow. While it keeps its characteristic extendible blade, its range has been reduced a bit, and instead of swinging the weapon, Soma now uses it in a stabbing manner (this design would be retained in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair).
