It's a "curved greatsword" according to my game. Requires 24 str and 13 dex. I made it +10 Fire, but it doesn't get any bonuses from either strength or dex (they're just labeled as - in my game).
You won't do huge damage with it, but it's pretty quick for a greatsword and it restores HP. I'm a huge fan of its attack moves as well, since they are wide sweeping arcs that are even better than the scimitar.
If you want a weapon that straight up scales with str, though, then go with one of the Black Knight weapons, like the Black Knight GreatAxe, which is an insane weapon.

Do you remember where? Apparently you can also get it from killing Griggs - but I wonder if this is 100% of the time; I would hate to kill him for no reason.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
..btw if you hate Lost Izalith as much as me, then it's worth investing in the Chaos covenant and opening up that fucking shortcut from the Demon's Ruins mini-boss down the tree and across the bridge.. the only enemy in the way is a Taurus, and you can cheese the fuck out of him and run directly past those fire breathing things that look like piles of turds and right to Bed of Chaos.
That's my best tip to anybody playing late game. That level is the balls, and the shortcut makes getting to the fog gate all the more bearable.

Just use a common one like a Balder Shield and it should be fine.
Also, honestly, you may not want to make it. Cheapens the difficulty a bit. The hit to durability is completely trivial, especially relative to what it does. It's probably best used for quickly mopping up lower-level zones if you're grinding or looking for loot.

Ughhh... I need to find a weapon/coating that actually does damage to
! I tried just straight up using my Scimitar+4, but I was only doing around 30 dmg with the light attack and 50~ dmg with the heavy. Thirty or so swipes in, I end up backing up into lava and dying.
This was so much easier when I had spells... :/

New Londo Question:
I've drained the water and gone through the seal and gone back to Frampt, but when I enter the white fog, it's just a spiral staircase that leads to death. I tried killing the ghost at the top and still nothing.

You need the ring (Covenant of Artorias) that's is/was in Sif's crib. It's right behind the grave. With it you can fall and... well you'll see.

It was pretty close to the bottom, not too far above those huge things way down in the sewer-type pit. You remember the second time you run onto a boulder path? (Run up the huge boulder path hill into the door on the left, then go through a small hallway, bear left, then you come out onto the second path) You'll notice one of the gold serpents that shoot the electricity at you, I dropped down on her from above, mainly to grab the item near her, then came out on a ledge close to where the ring was. I do remember facing the fortress' entrance when I was moving toward and then picking up the ring.
Sorry I can't be more specific.

Go Kill Sif in the forest, he drops the ring you need
Guys, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm coming to this game from Demon's Souls where you couldn't get invaded by a black phantom unless you were playing online.
I'm off-line (internet connection is switched off entirely), and I'm in the Lower Depths killing off basilisks. Then I get the message that I'm being invaded by Black Phantom Kirk? W.T.F. How is that even possible? There isn't supposed to be an NPC Black Phantom in the level is there?
Can someone explain this to me? Because I am puzzled.

Look for places you can walk to that are off the beaten path
Or, from gargoyle, turn around, head down stairs to right, look at support that is walkonable and go to the church and use the handily broken window

Can I re-join her covenant? I was a member but I left it and joined the forest one.
ding dong!
Whew, that feels good. Actually quite enjoyed blight town, although I wish I'd opened the door in the depths - worked from the Valley of the Drakes through to the second bonfire and eventually to the other entrance, but I couldn't open the door from the inside. Oh well.
Boss was tough, had to whittle her down. Any idea why there is a bonfire just behind her lair? Doesn't seem necessary as there is one just a little further on in Demons Ruins.
Off to Sen's Fortress tomorrow I guess. Have my winged spear at +10 and a divine scimitar +8. Want a fury sword but not sure whether to take my scimitar back to +5 and bring it up to +10, or bring something else up (have a falchion)

go up the flight of stairs after the ball junction. kill three snake heads. drop down a shaft behind where one of the snake heads was waiting for you. If you used the short cut you can also drop down from (twice as far a fall though) the level just after the bonfire upstairs. You can access without going to the bonfire but easiest to explain from there as it is the level after you drop down from bonfire...go all the way right after hoping down from bonfire...drop down shaft.
Once you fall the ring becomes visible along a narrow ledge....have to fall back down to level start..be ready to deal with the normal enemies there.

OH MY GOD CAPRA DEMON'S DIFFICULTY IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON WHAT TYPE OF WEAPONS YOU'RE USING.
Using dex based weapons like spears and rapiers and scimitars? It took me 40+ tries to get past the dogs and take him down properly. This character with it's Zweihander+5? First try. And it was easy enough that halfway through the fight I decided I'd try to take his tail off... and I accidently killed him trying to do that.
I can't wait to see how cockblocky or easy he is vs. a caster.
