Made a good str/fai build around this sword. I started off as wretch. Get Godrick's Rune and have it up all the time. Using Oath of Vengeance with the Rune gives you +10 Str right off the bat. Then get the Str tear in your physick for another +10 Str. Talismans could use Starsourge Heirloom and Radagon's scar/soreseal for another +10 Str., totaling +30 in Str when everything is active. Then FGMS and Golden Vow for buffs. Big downside is the sword's weight early game. Could go pure Str and use perfumes for buffs.

So im using lusat's glintston and when i use the ability it Raises all my stats by 5 but my glintstone is actually doing less damage?

If you were to have 99 on every stat, would this give you nothing but the poise buff or will they stack +5 on every stat even when they're maxed out?

Is it just me or is this thing BUILT to work well with frenzy incantations? The AoW gives you 20 more scaling points for frenzyflame seal since it scales with all attributes, the determination effect can be useful for inescapable frenzy and all the bonus defenses added from the AoW should let you tank and trade with things easier to get incants off.

bad weapon overall, it has good damage, but the move set especially for the heavy attack is really not that worth, for not speaking about the lack of range that hurts this weapon over all things.
as a tool how ever is really underapreciated, it literally gives you 40 levels for 20 FP, and it last for 60 seconds, a lot of things happens in 60 seconds, and the best part is that the buff stays with you even if you change weapons, so if you know how to hardswap, this weapon is a blessing, especially for hybrid builds like cold infusions, str-int or str-faith.
also remember that you only need to have 27 str in order to weild it and use the AoW, if you two hand it of course.

I can never get upset from getting killed by this thing in arena. The people who use it are fully aware there are superior options with better aow's, yet they persist for the memes. I respect that
- Anonymous
The key with this weapon is to pair it with some "budget" fire-and-forget spells/incantations (freezing mist, poison mist, swarm of flies, etc).
You won't be burning FP spamming the AoW, and the combo of an AoE status burn plus colossal sword goodness makes for a fun build. The AoW is just the cherry on top to keep you buffed and swinging without having to worry too much about stamina drain.

Not at all worth the ash of war which is a glorified Godrick's Great Rune.

George: i heard you had this ultra greatswords or something alike in almost all your games, so for these colossal swords i designed this for your game. Now, what kind of lore do i build around this weapon?
Miyazaki: that's the neat thing, you don't.

I am doing a save file where i collect all the legendary armaments and im reaching the end of my collection, but somehow im missing this. I have defeated the Leonid misbegotten and i can travel to the arena, but the weapon is nowhere to be found in my inventory or chest.
Very weird...

I wonder how this would run for int faith strength at level 80-90. I reckon you could run ~19 faith and maybe 20-23 int for various spells. 19 for golden vow and 22 for carian spells and haima spells.

For balance purposes I understand why it has a B strength scaling, but considering its the swordiest sword that ever sworded, I kinda wish it was A strength D dexterity.

The only thing that isnt amazing about this weapon is that it boosts vigir but doesnt heal you. It sucks using ritual sword or shield talisman with it because you have to waste an estus for them to work if you use the ash of war.
Would be cool if there was a thrust attack that had a multiplier on Pierce dmg.

When you get good at hardswapping having this in your inventory on strength builds is invaluable. The ash of war on this not only boosts every stat by 5 it also gives you a longer version of endure. If you want a bit of a boost or need some hyper armor to do a slower attack swapping to this then back to whatever weapon you want can work quite well though only if you are fast at swapping. Its damage is also pretty damn good and is only held back by its short reach.

Do you guys think that this weapon's AoW would benefit a Frenzied Flame Seal in the other hand, given it would receive 40 Rune Levels of boost?

Very underrated weapon. The damage is very high on a strength build with this and the ash is actually very good. The +5 to all stats is great early but does fall off late game but you also get 5 seconds of increased poise. You can just tank through a ton of attacks and with axe talisman andd charge attack physick get off guaranteed heavy attacks.

Absurdly easy to get (by far the easiest boss that drops a weapon) and doesn't take that long to get enough strength to two hand it. This is one of the better speedrun weapons, especially for a mostly strength build.

The BMF Sword... Looks good, has a badass story and an amazing skill works faster than Endure, makes it possible to trade with giants and dragons like a savage, not just cast but POISE-CAST a handful of very useful spells like dragon communion incantations to inflict rot and frostbite with ZERO investment. You get a nice little overall buff too.
- Anonymous
When you consider that the buff is basically free 40 extra levels for 60 seconds it's not too shabby.
I love this Weapon for PvE, when you meet the requirements the damage is just nasty + the AoW is really great damage wise since the Buff. Also for PvP the rolling r1 is nasty

The sword itself is lackluster AF especially for a "legendary armament" it's just a boring typical CGS and the greatsword itself is much bette option tbh.
But the AOW is extremely useful especially in pvp it's like having the godrick GR active for 60 seconds. Those extra stats really pay off well.

Y'know what I hate about this thing? When you use its skill and your character gets completely covered up by an entire row of status resistance bars for several seconds as your resistances adjust for your boosted stats. Not a big deal, but it still annoys me.

was trying to farm those misbegotten in leyndell for the iron greatsword, got the idea to use this thing to increase my arcane stat. had no idea it also had the same effect as endure, made dealing with that massive group of misbegotten ganging up on me so much easier.

Amazing weapon on a standard vigor, endurance, strength build. Somber smithing stones make this weapon easy to get to high levels around mid game.
Pair with godricks greatrune for overpowered stats (+defenses).
Pick up a heavy armor like tree sentinel and you are set.
Game actually gets too easy and simple this way.
Greatswords arent bread and butter in pvp though

Honestly great weapon for someone roleplaying as an 'anguished warrior' archetype, carrying the blades of his fallen brethren. I paired this was the fingerprint greatshield for my 'Last of the Knights of Plenty' character. This weapon goes very well with the frenzied flame ending imo. Very fun for strength builds overall, even if the weapon art is a bit boring but still neat thematically.

Im running wolverine build, 2 handin hookclaws cos i only have 1 so i cant dual wield. The buff from this affects the character not the weapon and so its a decent buff going into tough fights. It works with the buff from commander oneils spear aswell because while they both apply damage n protection buffs to your character not your weapon they apply it in different ways. The grafted sword increases your stats by 5 which increase your base damage while the rally from oneils spear just increase damage, mix this with a spell "flame grant me strength" n you got 3 very strong buffs, only 60 seconds but it takes my +23 claws from 320 to 580ish AR for some extra damage buff ust use beast roar ash for extra damage and give your heavy attack a combo just like your norm attack. Starting a boss with these 3 buffs + your flask buff and you chopping chunks of health in a few hits. I know the weapons are heavy but the buffs work, just equip em before the boss

The skill gives a 5 sec buff identical to endure, including dmg negation (45/40% in PvE/PvP) & ability to bounce back some attacks. Lasts longer than endure. Very useful for early game PvE and low level PvP with the huge stats buff. Two handed, with Radagon's soreseal and starscourge heirloom, you need only 17 str for it.

Not surprising, this used to be a reward from Godrick's Rune of remembrance at some point, and presumably his weapon of choice.
They probably went with the Axe of Godrick to more heavily emphasize on his ties to the Golden Lineage.

I forgot what patch 1.04 did for this weapon, we need more comments about that.
No, actually, this is ugly.
It's ash is impressive at all times, but it is just ugly.
When I saw someone using it I thought it was a club of some kind, made to look like a giant, elongated pinecone.
If it looked like the claymore hiding under all the grafted blades I might even use it.
As it stands, it will forever just be the thing I use to cast Law of Regression on my non-int characters, for the Goldmask quest.

The Oath of Vengeance skill was updated in the 1.07 patch. According to its page, the attribute buff now lasts 60 seconds and the poise buff lasts 5 seconds. It may also prevent stagger from the hemorrhage/frostbite effect.

I wish buffs to your vigor or mind stats didn't require you to drink a flask immediately after just to take advantage of them. It would make rune arcs less clunky too since you wouldn't have to rest at the grace a second time when throwing yourself at bosses.

Is Strength the only stat of importance to you? Do you enjoy sending the small and weak flying with the lightest of attacks? Does crushing poise like the pathetic stat it is excite you? Then this is the weapon for you my friend! With B str. scaling at higher upgrade levels and the ability to bring even the largest of foes to their pathetic knees in recognition of your true superiority this weapon will have no problems carrying you to your final destination in overwhelmingly crushing POWER! This thing pairs well with the turtle charm for faster stamina regen, winged sword insignia for MORE DAMAGE with successive attacks. I also recommend the Champions armor set and the Lone Wolf ashes for that truely barbarian conquer vide but your best friend wolves will hunt down and destroy poise even faster.
