- For the Dark Souls II variant, see Great Machete.
The Great Machete is a greataxe in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- This giant machete has a slash attack, and is a worker's tool in the Undead Settlement.
- This dismantling tool was not originally intended for use in battle.
- Skill: Sharpen
Scrape the blade to sharpen and enable a cleaner cut.
Availability[]
Dropped by Hollow Manservants in the Undead Settlement.
Characteristics[]
The Great Machete provides one of the earliest accesses to heavy weaponry in the game, should the player is lucky enough to obtain one as a drop from a Hollow Manservant while traversing the Undead Settlement.
While its 24 Strength requirement will have the player investing frequently in this attribute, the rewards are well worth the effort, since the force with which each swing with this weapon is performed will kill most enemies in only one or two hits, making it also a good choice for spending the first upgrade materials obtained on it.
It has the basic greataxe moveset and also has decent reach.
Its skill, "Sharpen", boosts the weapon's attack rating by 10%.
