- For the Dark Souls III variant, see Demon's Greataxe (Dark Souls III).
The Demon's Greataxe is a greataxe in Dark Souls.
In-Game Description
- Carved from the bones of fellow demons. Wielded by the lesser Taurus demons.
- This axe is imbued with no special power, but can merrily beat foes to a pulp, providing you have the strength to wield it.
Availability[]
The Demon's Greataxe is an uncommon drop from Taurus Demons. It can also be bought from Shiva of the East for 10,000 Souls.
Characteristics[]
The Demon's Greataxe has the highest physical damage potential of any weapon in the game. It is very heavy with a short attack range, but can be surprisingly fast. The Strength scaling at high levels makes it one of the strongest weapons for characters with very high strength.
