The Greatsword of Artorias (Cursed) can be created by ascending any straight sword (with the exception of the Straight Sword Hilt and the Broken Straight Sword) +10 at the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo, with the Soul of Sif and 5000 souls.

Characteristics
While the Cursed variant of the Greatsword of Artorias does not scale as well or do as much damage as the un-cursed version, it does benefit from having lower stat requirements, as well as having the ability to damage ghosts in the New Londo Ruins without the need of a Transient Curse.

The cursed Greatsword of Artorias shares the same moveset and average all-round scaling characteristics as the uncursed version. With average all-round scaling, the cursed version of the Greatsword of Artorias can potentially deal very high damage, but cannot be utilized to its full potential by more specialized builds.

Unlike the uncursed Greatsword of Artorias, the cursed version deals exclusively physical damage (despite still scaling with intelligence and faith).
