The Greatsword, aka the big bonk swrod, aka the guts sword, is one of the best Strength weapons in Elden Ring. This guide will show you how to make the strongest possible build with it, and show you how to use it the most effectively.
Link to build: https://er-build-planner.nyasu.business/?b=43e1533d0b40f1
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- This build includes options for players who DO and DON'T have the DLC. Check out the build's inventories in the link above for more options!
- You can add additional buffs to this build, like using Lord of Blood's/Kindred of Rot's Exultation, Black Dumpling, White Mask, Mushroom Crown, etc. with this build if you want to get even more ludicrous damage numbers. I don't like doing 30 minute long buffstacking routines and I'm sure you don't want to do that either, so I don't include them in my builds.
- Other great ashes of war to try out:
- Giant Hunt
- Chilling Mist (keep the sword buffed with the frostbite)
- Beast Roar (ranged attack)
- Flame Spear (keep the sword buffed with the fire)
- Aspects of the Crucible: Wings
- Bloodhound's Step if you want to be cancer in pvp
- Lightning Slash (keep the sword buffed with the lightning)
