Great Club | Elden Ring Wiki

this thing got buffed with the updates, now is just by far the best colossal weapon hammer type, i used it before patch and it was already good but now HOLY S**T it's a monster and poise break anything in 2-3 fully charged R2, due to that, most bosses are a joke with this weapon.

Submit

The most nasty and OP weapon in the whole game. Pure nectar for str/fth boys

Submit

quickest way to send gankers to the shadow realm: a well placed charged R2

Submit

Easiest play through ever, don’t even need wonky infusions or L2, just two hand and jump attack all the way to Elden lord.

Submit

the dreams of the naked club man are real

Submit

Hilarious that the iconic Great Club, which has been a byword for "mindless, crude brute force weapon" throughout the Souls games, is now a unique, sacred weapon with a powerful special ability, just because of the type of wood it was made from.

Submit

after a bit of testing, i see no evidence whatsoever that the projectiles are affected by buffing the weapon. still a wonderful weapon though.

Submit

Bruh, pop a blood flame blade on this big boy and watch that ganja burn lmao

Submit

Unga for my Bunga

Submit

with the exception of ff seal and serpent hunter, this seems to be the only weapon with an innate (no aow equipped) scaling that it has no requirement for. obviously this is due to the post-launch addition of the faith scaling.

Submit

It’s funny I tried making this thing work with Orders Blade even before this update. Always fantasized it should’ve been like Treespear :) It still loses trades to epee on the ~54/45 build this is optimal for… but this weapon with clawmark seal is the king of mixups and spell combos. Guranqs stone combos into r1 and catch flame often catches people off guard into wrath of gold or r1 roll catch. On prophet armor, the one handed r2 can poise great swords fully charged and it charges up fast. And you can chug/buff/erdtree heal under the protection of the L2. Strong synergy with holy ground in duels.

Submit

Started using this after 1.09 and it’s incredible. Let me just note first of all, the charged 2h heavy combo is one of the quickest amongst larger weapons because of its unique animation, which lets you poise break rather easily, and the weapon art is absolutely fantastic. Great all around weapon, deadly close range with the capability to shoot tracking star missiles from afar that do good damage. Weapon art has three stages, you can get a hit slamming the weapon down, it does a burst of holy damage around your character, AND you can combo into a unique heavy slash, AND THEN THE STARS COMR OUT dayuuuum

Submit

Great Club + Order's Blade = Good. Like, REALLY good. My Great Club at level 137 can reach 1127 AR and can even go as high as 1555 AR with Golden Vow, Exalted Flesh, and the Holy Cracked Tear. Patch 1.09 made this one of the best Colossal Weapons in the game.

Alright I’m confused. If you can’t change the ash of war, how can you change the affinity? Am I missing something in the game? Every other smithing weapon like this is locked to standard. No? Lol. This was asked a few comments ago. Any wisdom?

Submit

This weapon cannot be infused, therefore you should just have the standard version of the weapon listed. It is not possible to have a Cold infusion - for instance - when you cannot change the ash of war. The upgrade table is quite misleading as it is.

Hope this helps anyone who might have been confused.

Submit

You cannot infuse this weapon, despite what the table above shows. Hope this solves any confusion.

Submit

Just killed Stonedigger Troll in Old Altus Tunnel and received the Great Club on patch 1.09

Submit

what really sucks about this weapon now is that any infusion other than flame art or sacred completely takes away its faith scaling, making standard the only really good option for a str/fth build

Submit

PRAISE UNGA BUNGA

Submit

Now one of the best colossals. not only does it have a superior R2, but you can take advantage of its holy damage and buff it to high hell with all the appropriate stuff + greases and enchantments.

Submit

The drop from boss Stonedigger Troll is Troll's Hammer after patch 1.09. But I did not find Great Club in Old Altus Tunnel.

Submit

why does the table say its ash cannot be switches, but then shows the table for its upgrades with diferent affinitys?

Submit

PLEASE TELL US WHERE IS GREAT CLUB NEW LOCATION. IT IS NO MORE IN OLD ALTUS TUNNEL AFTER PATCH 1.09.

Submit

Bonk the heretic

Submit

After patch 1.09 great club is no more in old altus tunnel. Did not drop from boss. Please wiki tell us where we can find it.

V 1.09 - This gained Faith scaling and Holy damage.

Submit

As of 1.09, now deals Holy damage in addition to Physical. As a consequence, it now scales slightly with Faith (E/D) Starts at E, switches to D at upgrade level 7. However, the Faith scaling component is a joke -- youll still want to give overwhelming priority to Strength.

To provide an example, a +25 Great Club as of Patch 1.09 deals 789 Physical and 116 Holy (combined total: 905) at 80 Str / 8 Faith. Raising Faith to 80, the holy damage goes up to 149, raising total AP to 939. That's a +34 attack power gain for the sake of a 72-point investment in Faith, or more relatively speaking, a 3.75% damage increase, before defense or negation.

Now, the quesiton is, does the Weapon Skill, Golden Land, now scale with Faith? It didn't before the patch, and the patch notes don't mention it doing so. If the answer is no, then the Faith investment in this weapon is a joke and should only be considered if you're trying to min-max every ounce of extra AP out of it.

Submit

they buffed this weapon today so me and my bunga build are about to clonk some heads.

Submit

This thing just got faith scaling and it actually slaps.

Submit

It scales off faith now since 1.9

Submit

New patch today added faith scaling let's gooo

Submit

investing faith for golden land's a little more viable now :) still better to use with infused sacred weapons obviously but at least benefits are easier to get alongside its funny R2 now

Submit

1.13 patch made this so much better. It was already uninfusable so the Faith scaling and holy damage is just a bonus and makes it feel much more cohesive of a weapon. And despite the added holy damage, you can still buff. Loving this patch. Overleveled 80 str/fth hits 991 AR two handed no buffs.

Submit

FINALLY, FAITH SCALING AND HOLY DAMAGE. (Too bad alot of end game bosses are resistant to it. But this things stupid poise damage makes up for it.)

Submit

And now even more powerful with +112 Holy damages. Perfect weapon against those death rite birds.

Submit

As of Patch 1.09 This weapon now has sacred damage added, and Faith scaling.

Submit

Patch 1.09: 112 holy damage and a D scaling in faith at weapon +25.

So how is it now after the buff of holy damage?

Submit

As of patch 1.09 it doee holy damage and scales with faith

Before patch 1.09: UNGA BUNGA!
After patch 1.09: I UNGA IN THE NAME OF BUNGA!

Submit

This unhappy bunga just got buffed! Hello holy scaling!

Submit

[After 1.0.9] Finally, this weapon makes sense.
Having a non-interachangable Ash of War that scales only off Faith on a weapon that scales only off Strength was odd, to say the least.

Submit

Just got buffed with innate holy damage+ Fth scaling. AND it can be buffed by holy grease... so maybe we have another weapon that will make Orders Blade viable, just like Tree spear?

Submit

Patch 1.09: Faith scaling and holy damage added to this.

Submit

As of Patch 1.09, this has Holy Damage and Faith Scaling

Patch 1.09 added holy damage and D faith scaling but no faith req. Paladin‘s unga bunga

Guys I have good news

Submit

New patch added holy damage and faith scaling.
It's time to test this beauty.

Submit

No, it's not very good - it has low damage among colossal weapons and isn't even the lightest one. But my goodness is it beautiful in a way the weapon icon really doesn't do justice to. You won't appreciate it if you only see it in your inventory or when you're looking at all the weapons you put away and never tried in the roundtable hold, but it really is beautiful in a way I can't explain besides the fact that it's actually covered in golden leaves. It's just a beautiful piece of wood. And that's the story of how a below-average colossal weapon became the signature weapon of my paladin (that, and it's one of sadly few weapons in this game to have unique r2s).

Submit

They should have given it prayerful strike instead, it would make way more sense scaling wise and actually be useful

Submit

i think the optimal way to use this is just spam the heavy attack. its faster than most other colossal heavy attacks and does massive poise damage

Submit

They could have given it literally any physical ash in the game, but no, they gave a pure phys weapon a faith scaling ash

Submit

look how they massacred my chicken leg

Submit

So, using bloodflame blade on this both looks incredibly cool and is extremely thematically appropriate, and also it makes Golden Land proc bleed, which is excellent as it's a multi-hit skill.

Highly, highly tempted to make this my NG+3 build, but I'm sure you'd be able to make a very interesting build around this at a lower level. Mind you, it'll be completely fricking useless against any of the endgame bosses, most of whom are highly resistant to both bleed and holy damage, but it could be the basis for an interesting prophet build, perhaps?

Submit

Unga bunga

Submit

These type of weapons need to be infusable.

Submit

the only reason we cant infuse this is because they knew wed be unstoppable with S scaling strength

Submit

Why isnt this infusable? Its default skill is already an ash of war, it has no elemental damage, and it upgrades with regular smithing stones. Weird that they randomly decided this couldnt have a different weapon art.

Submit

Rev up those charged heavy attacks, because I am sure hungry for ez pz poise breaks

Submit

You guys are crazy, sure the move set changed but god this thing poise breaks the world when 2 handed. Maxed it out as fast as I could and ran over the whole game with it. Unga bunga for life!

Submit

If only I could’ve put prayerful strike on it.

Submit

I am curious as to why the Golden Land skill damage increases with every additional point of faith for this weapon. It says that the weapon only scales with strength.

Submit

Download the Wood Grain Ring from DS3 to increase Wood Damage

Submit

if you cast black flame then use the art, it will do damage over time. it may be the same for bloodflame causing bleed for each hit of the weapon art.

Submit

has the highest poise damage on an r2 in the game, fun fact.

Submit

Drippy af, but slightly worse than most colossals. Best on a str/fai to get better damage out of golden land.

Submit

The secret ending where you get you strength to highest possible value and turn the Erdtree into a club to bonk the stars with

Submit

"imbued with holy power" yet does pure physical

Submit

To me it seems like this weapon was unfinished, since its physical damage lines up with similar weapons like the troll hammer, but lacks any kind of split damage secondary scaling (was likely intended to be holy split damage with faith scaling).

Submit

Why does a great club have less damage than a curved great club , is that a joke?

Submit

great PvE weapon. the charged R2 attacks melt through boss poise, plus it can be enchanted to fit a faith or int build.

Submit

S tier for fashion, negative one billion for usefulness. It’s fun and I like it on str-fth prophet cosplay. It’s one of those weapons that’s so bad you are better off not even bothering with strength investment and instead going for spells and spell weapon buffs. It’s not particularly good with Orders Blade but that’s what looks coolest to me and the ash makes space for heals, discus of light and buffs.

Submit

chicken leg lives, and can be given weapon buffs for all sorts of fun flavors

Submit

Honey... where is my faith scaling?!

Submit

Aah. You were at my side all along...

Submit

why is it a regular smithing stone weapon if it cant take ashes of war

Submit

alright, while this unique heavy attack is sick as hell, I was hoping we could have the smelter hammer spin.

Submit

I mean, its OK. I don't know if its great.

Submit

Even though you use regular smithing stones with a non-changeable Afinity & Ash of War, even though your Ash of War isn't exclusive to just you, even though you have the lowest AR out of all Colossal Weapons, and even though your tied with the Prelate's & Crusher for the 3rd shortest Colossal Weapon,
I will proudly love you; for you carried me through Dark Souls 3

Look at that subtle off-green coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has growing leaves.

where the **** is my faith scaling

Submit

Why'd they drop my child all these years to not have A str scaling boooohooooohoooooo i have to drop down to his little brother to get my club fix

Submit

I honestly love the great club's look, especially for a STR/FAI druid build

Submit

So how exactly does Golden Land scale on this? Just with weapon upgrades, or does it somehow magically scale with Strength as well?

Submit

What the **** is a stone forge key

Submit

ME USE BIG STIKK ME GO SMASH!

Submit

If you’re faith just use large club or curved great club with the same weapon art. Golden land will one shot most players if you’re at 50 fth on sacred infusion. If you’re pure strength just us large club with war cry. This weapon doesn’t have good strength nor faith scaling so it’s useless. I’m gonna look into whether this weapon has any merit when used at 13 int 50 fth, 35 str with Orders Blade buff and regen. Icon shield might be a cool aesthetic too
