Bayonet Pistol | Bloodborne Wiki

Reiterpallasch (pronounced 'Rhyterpallash') is a Trick Weapon in Bloodborne; it's one of three skill-based "firearm" weapons.


"Weapon wielded by the Knights of Cainhurst.

Combines an elegant knight's sword with the peculiar firearm wielded by the Cainhurst order.

The old nobles, long-time imbibers of blood, are no strangers to the sanguine plague, and the disposal of beasts was a discrete task left to their servants, or knights, as they were called for the sake of appearances."

Reiterpallasch Information

• This particular trick weapon transforms between a rapier and gun with bayonet attachment (which is technically the same blade as the rapier).
• Similar to normal firearms, the transformed mode can fire Quicksilver Bullets.
  • However, it's not fired with L2 like a normal firearm. Instead, you click R2 while transformed to shoot.
  • As a result, it's possible to run Bloodtinge builds that can wield two firearms at the same time.

Location

Normal

• It's found in a chest located in the entrance hall of Cainhurst Castle, where the Bound Widows are first encountered. When you first enter the room from the main entrance, run towards your two o'clock. The chest will be found in a corner.

Uncanny Reiterpallasch

• Cursed and Defiled Root Chalice - Fetid/Rotted/Cursed (it is unknown whether these Offerings are required for it to appear there)(they are not required, glyph rm9skkef has no offerings applied)
• Glyphs: rm9skkef (Layer 1, pre-boss), 7h87j4h7 (Layer 3), pdzhstqg (Layer 1,first bonus area)

Lost Reiterpallasch

• Pthumeru Ihyll Root Chalice
• Sinister Pthumeru Ihyll Root Chalice
• Glyphs: rra4n2eq (Layer 1, pre-boss; Fetid, Rotted), 5543imxn (Layer 4), 57qjvat6, pwmf22gu (Layer 1, pre-dungeon, FRC)

Player Notes

• The normal mode's transformation attack will fire a shot (useful for parry baiting), but the transformation attack from gun to rapier is a simple thrust.
• R1 attacks are generally thrusting when wielded in normal mode, and slashing when wielded transformed, with a few exceptions.
  • The mix-up between the attack types (thrust and regular) can help if opponents are resistant to one form of damage but not the other.
  • Also note that the R1 attacks can also help you remember if the Reiterpallasch is transformed or not. Since this weapon can be difficult to remember which form it's currently using in the heat of battle, simply watch how your R1 attacks are swung at first.
    • If they thrust first, it's in regular mode.
    • If they slash first, it's in transformed (gun) mode.
• You can still perform a leap attack (Forward + R2) even while the weapon is transformed; no shot will be fired.
  • Be careful if you attempt this attack when you have no Quicksilver/Blood Bullets remaining. If you fail to do the leap attack and instead try to fire the gun, the Hunter will attempt to shoot the gun but fail; this starts an animation which leaves the Hunter defenseless for a quick moment.
• This weapon can be buffed by external sources (e.g. Empty Phantasm Shell).
  • Keep in mind that the Reiterpallash cannot be buffed with Bone Marrow Ash.
    • Bone Marrow Ash can only be used on left-handed firearms.
• Bloodtinge only affects the damage of the pistol shot from the transformed mode.
  • However, Blood Gems that increase physical attack will also increase the blood attack value used for the pistol shot.
  • This can potentially put the built-in pistol on par (damage wise) with regular left-handed pistol firearms, before buffs are taken into consideration.
  • Keep in mind that the Bloodtinge scaling for the Reiterpallasch is also fairly low at the same time.
• Despite having Arcane scaling listed, the weapon cannot be converted into Fire/Bolt/Arcane damage from blood gem fortification (though flat elemental damage gems will still apply).
• This weapon's tranformed mode can unleash some interesting combos/build choices.
  • Since you can wield a gun in the right hand, you can parry opponents even if your left-handed choice cannot. As a result, you can equip the following to add more versatility to your builds:
    • Torches (Torch and Hunter's Torch), which allow you to fire a gun while being able to illuminate dark rooms.
    • Arcane Sprayers (Flamesprayer and Rosmarinus), giving you mob control options.
    • Shields (Wooden Shield and Loch Shield), allowing for a degree of protection.
    • Other Firearms (can mix up different firearms for different ranges/purposes, such as the Church Cannon for mob control or the Piercing Rifle for narrow corridors).

Trivia

• The Reiterpallasch (from German Reiter "horseback rider" and hungarian pallos [ˈpɒloʃ] "sword") is a 17th century Hungarian straight sword with a typically double edged blade and guarded hilt that was used by Hungarian noble cavalry and later adapted by most western European armies.
• As pointed out in its description, the rifle spear is possibly made in imitation of "a lost Cainhurst weapon" (i.e. this one).
• Wynne D. Fanchon from Armored Core: For Answer; another From Software title, pilots a NEXT named Reiterpallasch
