New Game wise, this weapon is an excellent early pick up. The Catacombes run is a beast, but it fits nicely in that dead space between having the starter weapon, and killing the Undead Burg Black Knight for his sword. Or the Asylum Black Knights. Or if one dares chance it, head to the Catacombs Black Knight for the GreatAxe. Sadly, after that, with the ease of getting Twinkling Titanite (6 by the time you hit the Taurus Demon Boss, and another 6 not long after), the Gravelord Sword doesn't stand much of a chance.

Still, later it the game, with proper leveling it becomes a viable option again, though by that point you might want to just save the Demon Titanite you find for Boss Weapons. PvE wise, Gravelord Sword and Black Knight Sword/GreatSword/GreatAxe cover pretty much the same ground, so something lighter, like the Quelaag Fury Sword, or longer, like the Demon Spear, might be a better investment.

On that note, the Gravelord Sword is also good should one choose NOT to upgrade the Black Knight Sword/GreatSword/GreatAxe, perhaps in hopes of getting the Black Knight Halbred, or upgrading armor? Can't say I ever had enough restraint for that myself.
