Curved Greatswords are a type of Weapon in Elden Ring. Curved Greatswords are capable of slash-based attacks, allowing users to deal a large amount of damage against enemies, but sacrifice mobility, making the wielder vulnerable to Enemy and Bosses' attacks.

Curved Greatswords are compatible with a range of different Ashes of War, allowing you to mix and match for whatever your needs may be.

      all of these except for the beastman sword suffer from painfully mediocre scaling, making them very lackluster at 100-150 range

      • Anonymous

        morgotts cursed sword straight up stops most enemies from attacking just from that initial charge animation, nevermind the combined bleed and fire damage that can shred enemies like omens, banished knights, etc. that being said its the only curved greatsword ive used with any dedication. onyx sword, or as i call the STEP OFF sword, has potential and ive enjoyed the experiments ive done using it, but the weapon art is very slow to activate at first, meaning timing is of the essence in using it

        • Anonymous

          A lot of the time the damage isn't the greatest on these things. Damaging greases and ashes of war that apply coatings like lightning slash and flaming strike can help though.

          • On paper, these appear mid but they're actually underrated. First off, they're a lot longer than you think. The beastman cleaver's hitbox is just barely shorter than the kgs, which is nuts when you realize we're comparing the shortest cgs to the longest infusable gs. Second, they have insane coverage on their jump attacks, comparable to a halberd jr2. Third, while the initial hit is comparable to colossals, the follow up hits are not—which is to say they're actually useful for mixups. Lastly and most importantly, they have something so few weapons can claim... an r2 that's useful in pvp. The r2 will roll catch people if you toss it out after landing the initial r1. So put it all together and what do you get? A weapon class with insane range/coverage, with useful followups to the r1's that can be mixed up with the r2. My personal favorite chain is reverse jr1->r1->r2 roll catch->rr1 or jr1 again.

            • Anonymous

              They feel slower to use than other weapons because of their animations, but they're also actually pretty slow. They get high AR but it's slash damage. They also don't have much moveset variety, just the Zamor R1 which no one uses and the Butchering Knife R2.

              • Anonymous

                Currently this weapon class has some problems:
                1. They hit slower then colossal swords.
                2. On some of them damage is average at best.
                3. They have almost no hyper armor.
                4. They have no answer to jump attacks, flying enemies and anything in the air.

                • Anonymous

                  Kinda wished there was one with a thrusting heavy like the Gravelord's Greatsword. The omen cleaver would've been a good canidate for this too.

                  • Anonymous

                    This weapon class is great for spellblade builds. CGSs onehanded moveset is fantastic, poise damage is great and it has wide swings and good reach.

                    • Anonymous

                      This might not be the most powerful weapon class,(albeit still quite strong) but these weapons are so satisfying to use. They have really slick attack animations when used, and I find their attack sound to accompany that slickness perfectly.

                      • Anonymous

                        CGS got super nerfed.. In Ds3 they had the same dmg output as ultra greatswords, now they do as much as regular greatswords. Phantom limb pain

                          Since we seem to be thinking about what swords we want in the game, I want another Arced Sword. oversized pirate sword which would fit nicely with a ship to explore.

                          • Anonymous

                            this weapon class would be even better if rolling attacks (and now crouching attacks) with an R2 did the second R2 input. why did From have to remove that from ds3? the second charged R2 in elden ring would have been amazing if rolling R2s were still a thing

                              you are all complaining about the lack of murakumo while im here not getting that sweet stab r2 CGS since darksouls 1, why micheal zaki i beg you please to add gravelord sword or smth similar in dlc

                              • Anonymous

                                The Cgs animation might seem slow but it is the exact same speed as the normal great sword with higher stagger damage. Why does no one talk about these?

                                • Anonymous

                                  It's a shame they need and scale so much with strength. Strength already has a bunch of weapons and curved swords should logically be the dexterity analogue. Ugh.

                                  • Anonymous

                                    anyone else feel like curved gs are kinda mid? like, outside of like two they don't offer enough. they have the speed of ugs with the poise damage of a gs, and largely only a single damage type and mostly middling damage. feel like they should've been given a wider niche. them being so slow is especially bad since it makes fights drag on as you can't hit unstaggerable enemies more than once usually.

                                        There is not a single Pure Dex Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring. What a big letdown, considering how badass Murakumo was in Dark Souls trilogy. Hope they will at least add one in future DLCs.

                                          For an early game power stance curved greatsword build you can easily obtain Bloodhounds Fang and Dismounter from Limgrave. To meet requirements early use Radagons Scarseal and Starscourge Emblem. Jump L1's are great early boss quick kills.

                                              not sure where to put it, but - in the little bottom menu box on each individual curved greatsword, the forked greatsword and helphen's steeple, both greatswords, are included.

                                              • These have the same poise damage as Greatswords. In my opinion, curved greatswords should do greataxe-tier poise damage.

                                                Hell, in ds3 they did the same poise damage as ultra greatswords.

                                                  Curved greatsword guide:
                                                  Dismounter: light, great scaling with most infusions
                                                  Omen: slightly better ar, and unlabeled "punch" makes it not bounce off shields and rock people.
                                                  Beastmans cleaver: remember Exiled from ds3? That but JUST heavy scaling. Makes it great for str/ any...

                                                  All the others work in related builds, bloodhounds is easy early bleed, but one min to reach the bloody slice makes it a Mute point. Cool weapon art.

                                                  I'm assuming the others pull their weight (pun intended onyx) wyrm is hot.

                                                    Each individual Curved GS page lists "Forked Greatsword" as "Elden Ring Curved Greatswords" which is false.

                                                      I wish some of these had A scaling for DEX with Keen affinity.

                                                      I don't think it would be OP becouse they all have high STR reiquirement, so you can't just pump DEX and forget about other stats.

                                                        It's a shame that From never had any forward-curving blades outside of the shotel and Server from Dark Souls. With the new horseback combatants, I'd hoped we'd get some hook weapons for dismounting foes.

                                                          The ones of these I tried are very effective, almost any of them seem like they could easily carry you through the game, great stagger and stun damage. Only problem for me is, their moveset is super boring. R2 is barely any different from their r1, jumping r1 is literally the same as their r1, same for backstep r1. Jumping r2 and rolling r1 are good tthough the rolling r1 is a bit slow. Idk, every move feels like a wide slash, super effective but not the most interesting imo.

                                                          • I've only checked this visually, but I believe the order of longest to shortest reach is (don't have beastmans)...

                                                              There's no curved greatsword with a guaranteed location/drop that can be infused with ashes of war? Kept expecting to find one and finally had to look it up.
