LocationCastle Morne

Weeping Peninsula

Starting Site of Grace: Castle Morne Lift

From Agheel Lake South, follow the southern road over Bridge of Sacrifice into the Weeping Peninsula. Watch for the ballista at the far end of the bridge.
Continue south along the main road past Castle Morne Rampart grace toward the castle on the coast. Avoid the giant archer's shots on the exposed final approach.
Enter Castle Morne, activate Castle Morne Lift grace and ride the lift into the courtyard.
Keep to the right and pass the burning mound of bodies, watching for dogs and Misbegotten. Use the doorway just beyond the mound on that side.
Open the chest immediately to the left inside the room for Claymore. You do not need to climb the battlements or reach the beach boss.

Requires 16 Strength and 13 Dexterity and weighs 9. Standard affinity gains more Physical damage from Strength than Dexterity, despite its higher Dexterity requirement than some early greatswords.
Its heavy and charged heavy attacks use thrusts. Its two-handed rolling and crouching attacks also give it a forward-reaching thrust option.
Those Pierce attacks can benefit from counter-hit bonuses such as Spear Talisman while an enemy is attacking. The benefit belongs to the Pierce hits rather than every attack.
Its starting Lion's Claw costs 20 FP and performs a forward somersault into a heavy downward strike. It has strong interruption resistance, but you still take damage from attacks that connect.
The chest gives Lion's Claw already fitted to the weapon. You do not need to defeat the Lion Guardian at Fort Gael just to use that skill on this Claymore.
Its critical rating is 100. Its distinctive advantage is its thrusting moveset and flexible skill choice rather than a higher critical modifier.
The weapon pickup does not depend on Edgar's quest or defeating Leonine Misbegotten.
Upgrade it with Smithing Stones to +25. Can use compatible Ashes of War; changing the affinity can change which attributes improve its damage.
Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs.
It has no innate blood loss, poison or Frostbite. An appropriate affinity or compatible buff is needed if you want one of those effects.
