The Great Lord Greatsword is a greatsword in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

Greatsword born from the soul of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder. As bearer of the ultimate soul, Gwyn wielded the bolts of the sun, but before linking the fire, divided that power amongst his children, and set off with only this great sword as his companion.

Availability

The Great Lord Greatsword is created by ascending any Standard +10 greatsword, ultra greatsword, straight sword, or dagger at the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo with the Soul of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder and 5,000 souls.

Characteristics

The Great Lord Greatsword has a fairly quick swing speed compared to other greatswords and has good base damage. However, its stat scaling is unremarkable. Additionally, its strong attack moveset has a long windup, leading to the player being hit and potentially staggered. For PvE, it is usable but tricky; for PvP, it is not recommended.
