Dark Greatsword is a hex in Dark Souls II: Crown of the Sunken King.

In-Game Description

Hex adapted from an ancient sorcery.
Brandish Dark like a sword.
By its nature Dark is normally tranquil,
but this hex releases a focused blade of Dark in an uncharacteristic flash of brilliance.
Catalyst: staff

Availability[]

Found near the Priestess' Chamber bonfire in Shulva, Sanctum City. The player must drop down onto the platform from an elevator near the bonfire.

General information[]

Similar to Soul Greatsword; when cast, creates a greatsword composed of Dark energy, which the player swings in a horizontal arc in front of them. However, unlike Soul Greatsword, it also unleashes a mid-ranged projectile in mid-swing, similar to that of the Moonlight Greatsword.

Notes[]

  • The arc of the greatsword can go through walls if close enough.

Attunement milestones[]
