The Dragon King Greataxe is a greataxe in Dark Souls.
In-Game Description
- This axe, one of the rare dragon weapons, is formed by the tail of the Gaping Dragon, a distant, deformed descendant of the everlasting dragons.
- The axe is imbued with a mystical power, to be released when held with both hands.
Availability[]
The Dragon King Greataxe is obtained from cutting off the tail of the Gaping Dragon, located in the lowest section of the Depths.
Characteristics[]
The Dragon King Greataxe boasts impressive base damage but does not scale with any stat.
When held with both hands, the Dragon King Greataxe can execute a special attack by using the strong-attack. The player slams the axe in the ground, creating a shockwave all around them. This special attack burns 50 durability with each use and hits twice.
Unusual for a unique weapon, the Dragon King Greataxe can be augmented. It grants 20 points of fire and magic resistance when wielded.
