Large Sword of Moonlight
From Wikidsouls
As implied the Large Sword of Moonlight has 100% shield bypass and ignores all attempts at blocking. The only other weapon in the game to share this property is the curved sword Blind. It is also the only weapon in the game that does pure magic damage and as a result is highly effective against any enemy without magic resistance. At additional levels (+1 and so on) the stats of the weapon remain the same but the rate at which it scales with Faith improves exponentially. Lastly it has highest durability of any weapon in the game as well as being the lightest "large sword" and comes in second to only the Dark Silver Shield on Magic Cut percent when used to block a magic attack.
This weapon is in many ways an Easter Egg and a nod to the past as it is blatantly modeled on the Sword of Moonlight from the King's Field series, which is also referenced by several laser blades from across the Armored Core series. King's Field is the first game created by From Software and considered to be the spiritual predecessor to Demon's Souls. Other than this sword and perhaps thematic inspiration the two games have no other common ground.
It can be found inside the Slug Nest in 5-2, and to get it you have to attack and destroy the nest in order for it to fall down on the ground below. beware as this also releases all the slugs in the nest around the sword, so prepare for a fight to get it.
