Yhorm's Great Machete is a soul-transposed greataxe in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- Great machete wielded long ago by Yhorm the Giant.
- Yhorm once lumbered on the frontlines with a greatshield. But one day, in place of his shield, a left-hand notch was added to his machete, enabling the smashing technique that would become the legacy of his later years.
- Skill: Warcry
Let out a spirited warcry that temporarily boosts attack, and enables a crushing strong attack.
Availability[]
Obtained by transposing the Soul of Yhorm the Giant with Ludleth of Courland.
Characteristics[]
Widely renowned as one of the most powerful Strength weapons in the game, Yhorm's Great Machete is capable of laying waste to any foes unfortunate enough to be on the wrong end of its blade.
Uniquely, unlike other weapons, its scaling soft-caps at 45 Strength, rather than 40, which allows it to reach higher levels of raw damage more easily than its ilk. As well, much like the Great Machete it has very long reach, being the longest greataxe in the game and allowing its wielder to more easily out-space foes. And finally, its unique version of Warcry enables it to perform special crushing attacks in place rather than the forward-rushing chain attacks of its cousins.
However, because it is a soul-transposed weapon and highly specialized towards Strength builds, this means that it is incapable of being easily wielded by anything short of Strength-heavy or quality builds. As well, being a machete-type weapon, its two-handed weak attacks are incapable of staggering foes long enough for two-hit combos, short of situations involving elevation disparities between the wielder and target. This means that in order to be wielded optimally, Yhorm's Great Machete is best held in only one hand, further requiring a specialized build to make use of it.
