The Exile Greatsword is a curved greatsword in Dark Souls III.

In-Game Description

Bloodstained greatsword wielded by one of the Watchdogs of Farron, who preside over the slumber of fallen warriors. The blade is a reminder of the exile's past misdeeds.
Inhuman strength is required to wield this heaviest of curved greatswords.
Skill: Spin Slash
Slice into foes with a large spinning motion, and continue spinning to transition into a strong attack.

Availability[]

Dropped by the Exile Watchdog that wields it in the Road of Sacrifices.

Characteristics[]

Widely regarded as one of the most powerful Strength weapons in the game, the Exile Greatsword brings tremendous raw damage to the table.

Possessing the standard curved greatsword moveset, this weapon has a steep Strength wielding requirement as well as a non-negligible Dexterity wielding requirement, meaning that players must invest a large amount of stats in order to even use this weapon in the first place. However, the investment is well worth it, as it has a very high Attack Rating even among all ultra weapons, and competes with the Harald Curved Greatsword for being the most powerful curved greatsword.

This weapon's main drawback is that it is by far the heaviest curved greatsword in the game, meaning that even with high Vitality investment the wielder will be unable to stack as much heavy armor to increase Poise as compared to wielding any of the other curved greatswords. However, should this hurdle be overcome, the Exile Curved Greatsword is capable of inflicting staggering amounts of damage to any foe unfortunate enough to be hit by it.
