Great Club is a Colossal Weapon in Elden Ring. The Great Club scales primarily with Strength and is a good Weapon for dealing Physical Damage. The skill attached to this weapon also has a unique ability that unleashes a blast of energy and releases them as golden darts.

 

An enormous club of hardwood. Wildly hammering foes with this
striking weapon requires no dexterity; only brute force.

While it may seem sacrilegious, this weapon is said to be a withered branch of the Erdtree.
Imbued with holy power, this weapon will never snap.

      Works very well when you want strike and holy damage. Be sure to add golden grease for 120/135 extra holy AR, this hits pretty hard.

        Ridiculous weapon. Did a Caveman run... took 45mins to get the club, then just 3 hours to obliterate the Demigods and beat the game at level 98.

        Genuine baby mode. Highly recommend for a chill run. Solid one and a half evenings of entertainment. No thinking, just smash.

          Guys, I'm going to open up a Great CLUB Club.

          For you to join, you need to only have 99 Str and at least 10 Int.

          Cause I don't speak Unga Bungese and only Ingurisshu.

            Highest Stance damage in the game at 47 with a 2h charged heavy. Add order's blade and other buffs and you're doing 5000+ damage to undead dragons

            • Anonymous

              Even on just a pure strength build with no faith investment, this thing is still insane with the right setup.

              I use an offhand weapon outfitted with golden vow, two handed sword talisman, and finally buff with golden grease. At 60 strength and only 8 faith, status screen shows 1195 damage, and I don't think that even includes the damage increase from the two handed sword talisman. R2 uncharged does close to 1000 damage in PvP against most players.

                Use scholar armament for a beautiful intellectual blue Unga Bunga. With Carian Greatblade to deepen the complex debate about the concept of stance breaking.

                  The charge attack is surprisingly fast, kinda makes me want to use a build focusing on order blade+axe talisman+ charge tear

                    Adore running Order's Blade and Blackflame Blade alongside this weapon. Holy Bonk for clearing levels. Evil Bonk for killing bosses. Truly the most versatile weapon in the game.

                      I don't see why this article is memeing that the projectiles are affected by weapon buffs, they clearly aren't

                        I have a feeling this weapon 2 handed with 54 strength and buffed with orders blade at 80 faith using the erdtree seal is going to wipe the floor with the dlc enemies/bosses. Holy being highly resisted in the base game has got me thinking that it will be strong in the dlc compared to fire, magic, and lightning.

                        Huge stance damage and stagger. Huge hyper armor. 1204 damage with 791 strike and 413 holy. Double damage against undead enemies, which we have already seen as part of the dlc and will likely occupy most of it.

                        The AoW is incredibly powerful too, a downward thrust in front with a hitbox, followed by a powerful aoe with 30 stance damage, that can be followed up with an R2 for a wide swing. All topped off by 4 golden orbs hitting the enemy. That's 7 total hits, which is equivalent to being hit by 4 motorcycles, a car, a pickup truck, and a boeing 777. The AoW can be cast faster too if you keep strafing and keep pressing L2.

                        Remember this can be further improved with Golden vow for 15% more total damage, Holy tear for 20%+ holy damage, and Alexander shard for an even stronger Aow.

                        Compared to a Heavy Giant-Crusher at 80 strength, it does a bit more damage to Malenia. This is taking into account she has a massive 40% Holy negation and 10% strike negation. Split damage at such a high attack rating will wipe the floor with pure physical, unless you're against the elden beast.

                        It really is Holy Boy Summer.

                        God I hope they don't patch it.

                            Do you like losing trades to storm blade? Or storm assault or even Loretta’s slash? Boy do I have the weapon for you. The amazing synergy this weapon has with incantations is rendered moot by any great hammer with golden land ash of war… and sacred blade does it all but way better. I want my smithing materials refunded.

                                17 endurance (12 + radagoons) is the minimum required to perform the full charged heavy -> charged heavy combo and then roll out of the recovery animation.

                                  The R2 animation is so fitting for a weapon like this. All the effort goes into lifting it up, then at that point just drop it, and let the weight of the weapon do the rest.

                                    Nice to see the Great Club finally graduated to Colossal weapon type after all the years as a Great Hammer, now he's bonking with the big dogs

                                      Currently running a strange build with this using 54 strength and 62 faith (67 with heirloom seal or godrick's rune) on a wretch. Combining Order's Blade with this weapon and a high faith stat gives you what amounts to an incredibly strong split str/fai weapon. With my current setup the AR gets up to 1160 (790 physical, 370 holy). Of course the damage won't be 100% reflective of that because of the split damage, but for some reason it seems to send the Ash of War's damage into maximum overdrive. I don't know what interaction is doing that, but it kicks ass.

                                        Most people are mad that it has faith scaling, and a holy aow, but me personally I'm happy because it absolutely SLAPS on a str/fai buld

                                          not as sad as dragon greatclaw, but it's still a crime that you can't change the skill

                                          upgrades to +25, can be buffed, and the skill ISN'T unique. its only gimmick is having elemental damage, but the clayman's harpoon has magic damage and int scaling, so that isn't an excuse. please let me put prayerful strike on this thing

                                            I guess it really shines in NG+? Something like Str 54/Faith 80 and then adding a weapon buff. That would put the AR around 1200.

                                              Ok nevermind then.. I was upgrading this for my pure strength character when I noticed that it has faith scaling. It doesn't show that on the wiki image, though it does say so in the notes. I got upset because I thought I just screwed up, but I opened the EIP elden ring character planner and it's showing that if you have 99 strength and just 8 faith, the AR 1 handed is 319. If you have 99 strength and 99 faith, it is just 327. The numbers could be wrong but it's totally practical to use this without any investment into faith whatsoever. I am power stance with the giant crusher so I never planned to use the club's skill anyway. I'm just holding this till I get another giant crusher lol

                                                      Hits like a pool noodle in pvp. Any number of L2s are faster than a great club R1 and hit harder. You can put stormblade on anything and suddenly have all the perks of a collosal weapon with no down sides. And then the Faith scaling on this weapon is terrible so the great clubs own L2 is worse than golden land on any other weapon. The range also leaves much to be desired, you’re too slow to really pressure and if you correctly time yourself to roll catch an opponent, you’ll find you came up too short. The R2 also has negative range from what the model appears. Until a G9 enthusiast can be two shot by great hammer r1s, the class will be useless.

                                                            It’s viable and a lot of fun in pvp. But it’s very demoralizing to lose trades against great swords and any hyper armor L2. I decided to try orders blade glass cannon but I’m just a glass pistol. Worse, buffs got nerfed so there’s no longer golden land/barrier of gold synergy. For all the trouble, tree spear does more damage, more range, lighter weight, better spell synergy and allows me to wear armor… oh and max casting speed. Not like golden land is great tho it can be useful

It’s also great at killing dogs since you poise through their attacks and the explosion annihilates the whole pack. I mean unga bunga

                                                                  • This might just be me, but I think this weapon is a combination of two different yet similar recurring weapons from previous games. It's both the "Absurdly Large Primitive Bonking Stick" of the Great Club line, but it's also the "Religious Great Hammer" like Grant and Morne's Great Hammer (which also have explosive special attacks) and also potentially Bramd and the Sacred Chime Hammer which are all great hammers used by paladins or paladin-like figures from previous Souls games. That's actually something I noticed regarding the NPCs of Elden Ring, there's isn't a "religious knight" character like Garl Vinland, Leeroy, or Morne despite there being other character archetypes that made a return like the "soft spoken damsel" that is Roderika, or the "cherry yet also depressive warrior" Alexander. This is all just speculation on my part, but I thought it interesting enough to share as I hadn't seen anyone mention something similar yet.

                                                                    • Anonymous

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

                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                              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.

                                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                                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.

                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                  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

                                                                                  • 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.

                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                      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?

                                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                                        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.

                                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                                              • Anonymous
