The Greatsword is an ultra greatsword in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- This ultra greatsword, with its thick blade, is one of the heaviest of its kind.
- Highly destructive if intolerably heavy.
- There would appear to be some credence to the rumors that this sword tested the true limits of human strength.
- Skill: Stomp
Use one's weight to lunge forward with a low stance and increased poise, and follow with strong attack for a spinning slash.
Availability
Found in the Farron Keep, on top of one of the two broken bridge sections, near the area with the first brazier and opposite to some Purple Moss Clumps.
Characteristics
Although being the third heaviest ultra-greatsword in the game at 20 units, the Greatsword has an incredibly low dexterity requirement of 10 and has the highest attack rating potential on a strength-focused build.
