How To Get Drake Sword in Dark Souls
You’ll get to a bridge with a large dragon on it, that dragon is very hard/impossible to be killed. Don’t try to engage it directly. Just get beneath that bridge and clear it from the enemies.

Now equip your bow & arrow and aim the dragon’s tail when you see it. You will have to hit the tail for about 15-20 times and its tail will drop off, rewarding you with the Drake Sword – It is one of the most powerful weapons in the game.
