Nicholas Bashore Harald Curved GreatswordĮven though it may be relatively easy to dismiss the Harald Curved Greatsword at first glance because its damage potential doesn’t surpass the Exile Greatsword you can obtain outside of Farron Keep, this beauty has a few tricks up its sleeve worth spending some time with. Then, simply head back to Firelink Shrine and transpose his soul for the weapon. To get a hold of Gael’s Greatsword for your own collection, you’ll actually have to complete The Ringed City entirely and obtain his soul from the final boss fight. It may be difficult to land, but the tradeoff is worth it. What’s great about this weapon is that you’ll also get access to a weapon art Blade of Peril, giving you the ability to perform Gael’s signature leap and slam attack to deal massive amounts of damage. While it shares a few of the same basic moves with your average, everyday greatsword, Gael’s Greatsword gives you access to a series of quick, overhead and sweeping slashes which can catch your opponent by surprise while you swing away at them in the meantime.

The weapon of the final boss you’ll ever cross paths with in the Dark Souls series, Gael’s Greatsword is a powerhouse designed for players who are interested in a strength-based weapon with the potential for quick attacks that catch your enemies off guard. Unlike most of the other Ringed Knight equipment which you must farm from enemies, the Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords can be found as a drop from the Ringed Knight carrying them right before the cathedral housing the Halflight, Spear of the Church boss encounter. Keep in mind though that these weapons are easy to predict due to their slow movement, so you’ll have to get creative in PvP engagements. The weapon art also allows you to cross them together, igniting a short flame bonus which can be paired with a regular attack for additional damage. These paired ultra greatswords focus on combo attacks, building up ludicrous amounts of damage with each successful hit, much like the dexterity-based Farron Greatsword from the base game. If you’re planning to build a completely new character for The Ringed City, these are the weapons you’ll want to grab for yourself due to the insane amount of damage potential they offer if your character attributes line up with the requirements.
