This looks more like a straight sword than a greatsword...

Its one of only two weapons in the game that can get all 4 elemental damage bonuses. Pretty cool on its own.

"-- at the bonfire with the two legged mouth monsters"

carried me through ng+ uninfused at base requirements. Very capable weapon, rarely needs repair powder. Capitalize on the counterattack damage with Stone ring and/or high poise armor!

This weapon is a great candidate for infusion for a sorcerer or cleric, keeps an A scaling in dex while gaining a C scaling in either fth or int on top of the base magic/lighting damage. Very high counter damage for a greatsword.

Best greatsword for dex build. Counter damage is insane. 2H R2 can one shot in pvp if countered an attack.

I don't know why, but I Love this sword. I played DS3 first but when I got this beauty in DS2 I immediately used it because I liked it in DS3 as well. Let's say this thing destroyed Elana on my blind playthrough. Sure I died a couple of times to her but this weapon did insane damage against her. Definitely helpful if you have trouble with her.

The drakeblood greatsword is 232 when 5+
