In-game description

Greatsword bestowed upon skilled swordsmen in the demigods' service, and yet had no rank or title.

Featuring a long grip enabling dual-handed use, this weapon was designed to dispatch larger foes. Being charged with such a duty was undoubtedly a great honor.

Where to find

Map pending
LocationSoldiers' camp between Warmaster's Shack and Saintsbridge

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Warmaster's Shack

  1. From Stormhill Shack, follow the eastern road through the woods to Warmaster's Shack. Continue northeast toward the soldiers' camp on the road to Saintsbridge.
  2. Find the heavily armored Godrick Knight carrying a greatsword in that camp. Clear the nearby soldiers and dogs or draw the knight away before fighting.
  3. Defeat the greatsword carrier, collect any loot and rest at Warmaster's Shack to reset it. Gatefront's spear knight is a different weapon farm.
  4. Other regional knights carrying this same greatsword can also drop it. A spear, greatbow or differently named sword is not interchangeable just because the enemy wears knight armor.

Notes

  • With Standard affinity, physical damage scales most strongly with Dexterity, with weaker Strength scaling.
  • Upgrade it with Smithing Stones. Its maximum upgrade is +25.
  • Can use compatible Ashes of War. Your choice of skill and the whetblades you've found determine which affinities you can apply.
  • Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs.
  • Requires 16 Strength and 12 Dexterity and weighs 10. Its long blade gives it useful reach without changing its weapon class into a colossal sword.
  • Its two-handed light chain uses the flowing, more vertical pattern shared with Banished Knight's Greatsword, Inseparable Sword and Leontiel's Greatsword. One-handing it gives a different light-attack pattern.
  • Standard leans toward Dexterity more than Banished Knight's Greatsword does. Heavy can still support Strength, while Keen emphasizes Dexterity; the chosen affinity matters more than the knight who dropped it.
  • Starts with Stamp (Upward Cut). The bracing step costs 5 FP, and the heavy follow-up costs another 8 FP for the upward strike. Bracing is not invulnerability.
  • The weapon has a 4% base chance at 100 Item Discovery from knights carrying the greatsword. Gatefront's spear-carrying knight drops a different weapon, even though its armor matches.
  • There is no innate Lightning coating on the dropped sword. A knight's combat enchantment does not remain permanently applied to the player's copy.
