The Dragon Greatsword is an ultra greatsword in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

This sword, one of the rare dragon weapons, came from the tail of the stone dragon of Ash Lake, descendant of the ancient dragons.
Its great mystical power will be unleashed when wielded with two hands.

Availability[]

Obtained by cutting off the Stone Dragon's tail in Ash Lake. Doing so does not count as a betrayal to the Path of the Dragon covenant, as the Stone Dragon is invulnerable and will always remain passive.

Characteristics[]

Grants 20 points of fire and magic resistance when wielded. Its two-handed strong attack is a ranged vertical cleave. Using this attack reduces durability of the weapon by 50 per use.

In terms of weight, stat requirements, and attack rating, the Dragon Greatsword is outclassed by the Demon Great Machete, regardless of stats. However, the two handed strong attack can make up for these deficiencies as it gives the ultra greatsword a very effective ranged attack that can be done continually and blends well with other attacks.

The Dragon Greatsword cannot be augmented.

Resistance defense[]

Along with Physical and Elemental damage reduction, weapons also have hidden stats that reduce the amount of status build-up while blocking.
