drake sword - how to get it

Of course everyone knows about the drake sword but in case you haven't seen the videos or tutorials yet heres my own:

First you have to beat the taurus demon then you will encounter the red dragon perching at the end of the bridge shortly after. Before you try running across the bridge make sure you have bought the bow from the merchant earlier in the undead burg (i think its about 1000 souls) and plenty of arrows (around 50).
The way you reach the dragon is by running directly across the bridge and then half way across right next to the enemies there is a staircase leading down to the right. You should be able to dodge the enmies attacks and then run straight down the staircase whilst the dragons flames burn the enemies granting you 300 free souls :)
Inside the room you've just entered is another staircase leading down, here you can kick a ladder and go back to the undead burg bonfire easily. Once you've done that go back up the ladder and beat the two skeletons underneath the bridge. Then position yourself on the right side underneath the bridge so you have a good view of the dragon's tail. From here you can fire on his tail taking off about 20 damage each shot (if your not doing this amount it means you don't have the necessary stat requirements - so you'll either need to level up your dexterity or strength in order to use the bow properly). Then after a certain amount of shots his tail will fall off and a screen will appear granting you the DRAKE SWORD!!
This is the best weapon in the game for quite some time and doesn't have too high stat requirements so most players should be able to wield it fairly easily. MAKE SURE you don't let the sword break, you'll reach a smith not long after obtaining the drake sword so you can have him repair it for you or alternatively if you can't find him you can buy repair dust from the first merchant for a price of 500 souls each. Using the two-handed power attack on the drake sword also uses up its durability pretty quickly so try to avoid doing that too much, the fast attack should suffice for most enemies anyway :)

So there it is, hope thats helpful and enjoy destroying your foes with the power of dragonsteel!!!
