I mean, I know it's obvious, but still

It's closer to his golden age arc sword

It's an endgame weapon available near the beginning of the game. It's great for multiple enemies as well as nimble ones, since the large sweep covers so much area.

Honestly, if anything, I think it's more inspired by Guts and Berserk, since From Soft loves their Berserk references. As for why it's used a lot, it's because it's easy to get, and one of the best Strength weapons in the game, flat out.

This sword looks nothing at all like the Dragonslayer jfc it's not even close.

No, its just really useful

Why is every pve player using this? Is there like a popular guide for dks2 that demands you get the greatsword?

I think the Crypt Ultragreatsword looks more like the Dragonslayer IMO

It has the same shape but a different design.

Try it, won't hurt if you have palestone available as well.

Raw is pretty good if you just want to deal absolute damage. However, I prefer leaving it +10 with the S STR scaling. It's like you're hitting things with a truck with that.

I don't think so, as it has an S scaling on STR it would be an downgrade to remove that scaling

making weapon with S scaling raw is insane ! It's blasphemy and pure madness

Terrible idea. While you get "more" raw damage, that's not the sole drive of damage in Dark Souls. The biggest thing, bar none, is damage scaling. The weapon has an S rank. That 60 more damage you get with a raw infusion is dwarfed by the strength scaling damage you get with it, something like 170 damge. 570 (+10 regular) is more than 460 (+10 raw).

Such a fast test. No, no it does not. It just breaks objects kinda disappointed would've been a nice mechanic for them being such big weapons and all

It will miss really fast opponents when you are locked on and two handing RB attack. The Allone knights are a perfect example, but its predictable and avoidable. It only happens to a small small handful of enemies in the game.

you just don't know how to use it

I know exactly what you mean. Beating the Lost Sinner, for example, was very challenging because of that but you can solve the problem by not locking on your target.
