Ultra Greatswords are a weapon type in Dark Souls III.
Among the largest weapons available, ultra greatswords are very slow but inflict tremendous damage with each swing, and their great length allows them to strike targets from farther away. Their immense weight and bulk allow them to take advantage of Hyper Armor, meaning that Poise becomes a strong advantage when wielding one of these weapons. However, their cumbersome weight and voracious stamina consumption means that heavy investments in Endurance and Vitality are mandatory, and their slow swing speed and long recovery leave the wielder vulnerable in situations where faster weapons would not.
When wielded in both hands, attacks from ultra greatswords cannot be parried, with the exception of running and rolling attacks.
