Greatswords are a weapon type in Dark Souls III.
Overview[]
Greatswords are two-handed swords which are slightly smaller than ultra greatswords. They are characterized by sweeping one-handed attacks and powerful two-handed attacks. They have mild to moderate stat requirements in Strength and Dexterity, and are capable of dealing heavy damage, albeit being slower than straight swords.
