Greatsword of Solitude is a Greatsword in Elden Ring. It is a brand new Greatsword in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Greatsword of Solitude scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity and is a good Weapon for pure Strength Builds.

 

Steel greatsword wielded by the Knights of the Solitary Gaol. Through a secret rite, they relinquished their hearts for heightened battle prowess. Next, they engraved their blades with two crests: one depicting the light of birth, and the other, solitude.

      this is my new fave greatsword/large two handed wep. i was kinda getting sick of them but this is keeping is fresh and the block is awesome

        Game says it has standard/pierce damage but it doesn’t have any thrusting attacks. I guess that means that the wave launched by the weapon skill does piercing damage? Either that, the description is wrong, or i’m missing something

        • The sword looks like a mini dragonslayer. Even the description is akin to how the berserker armor works. Guts' relinquishes his sanity and awareness of who is companions are (his heart) for increased battle prowess when wearing it.

            This things is stupid.
            89% phys negation? 54 stability?! Over 800 damage on pure strength build? Solid ranged option packed with gap closer which cause knockdown...
            Use this with its set, equip deflecting hardtear, hp regen, Dragoncrest, bullgoat, and curved sword and blue two handed talisman.
            If you never witnessed poisebreaking absurdity of two handed Greatswords then you will see how busted this thing is... Wtf Fromsoft, I guess it's an apology for how weak str builds were at the launch of base game
            You cooked this time From . _.

              Ermm, this is too good i'm afraid is gonna get nerfed.

              I just went back to a catacomb in the normal game, i'm a greatsword player usually, no greatsword knocks down stone imps with a charged heavy...this thing does :))

              • It's a damn good sword. I'm sad it can't be infused or buffed. The damage rate caps out on my build around 840 with GV but my Ordovis great sword goes to almost 1100 with GV. Still a really REALLY badass endgame weapon though.

                    Why is this just behind Giant Crusher in damage while being an effective blocking weapon. This thing is too much and I can’t stop using it

                      Man I'm running this sword with Blessed Blue Dew Talisman, Carian Filigreed Crest, Shard of Alexander, and Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman for a knight build and I am able to spam the ash of war out without investing anything into mind or FP flasks. I was most excited for the bear claws but can't stop using this.

                        Wow that r2 after the weapon art staggers everything medium sized or smaller. Not much else to write home about besides the drip from what I can tell.

                          At 77 strength the +10 version of this was doing more damage than a +25 heavy brick hammer with S scaling in strength. Just absolutely disgusting

                            Great stats, nice weapon skill but, alas, yet another GS with the inferior GS moveset. What's even the point of having pierce damage on a weapon that can't actually deal pierce damage with any of its attacks?

                              I was thinking about doing a two handed guard counter build with the Guts Greatsword or the Beastman's Cleaver. Miyazaki was like I gotchu and gave us this beast instead.

                                The design is very similar to the dark moon greatsword, even the mini lore seems to be the opposite. The ability is also similar to one another. Sigma male lone wolf great sword.

                                  Man I love this thing SO MUCH. At first i thought this was just a basic gs with vacum slice 2.0,but after getting it and using it I realized it's my favorite weapon rn. High guard boost makes it a good shield, fast attacks and the skill is just what I always wanted from vacuum slice: quick slashes (it goes ****ing upwards too) and a blitz attack. Amazing dlc so far

                                    Since it weighs as much as a zweihander and makes the colossal sword swing noises when it’s swung, I wonder if it can poise through colossal swords?

                                      The Knight of Solitude was giving me hit stun with every two handed hit, it may have hidden enhanced poise damage

                                        I've been using this for quite a bit of the dlc, and I gotta say, It's been kinda carrying me a little.
                                        I feel like its hyper armor Is quite a bit higher than other greatswords, the projectile from the ash seems to do some pretty high stance dmg, and the follow-up also seems to have insane hyper armor. It feels amazing to have a ranged attack on a heavy hitting greatsword for enemies above you or ones that like to dip in and out.
                                        (I've noticed there is a very small amount of pure strength weapons in the dlc, and that worries me a little, I might be forced to use this thing for the entire dlc)

                                          2nd try the boss. Saw the Greatsword. Checking:
                                          "SCALES HOW WITH STR?!"
                                          Really, scaling of this blade is fckn insane, almost matches my Blashphemous Blade in terms of damage. Also the weapon skill is... Not great, but good enough and cheap. 10/10, let's go

                                            Falling in love with this GS, skill is cheap and very good. The moveset is pretty solid. Very heavy though, iirc tied for heaviest Greatsword

                                              Knew I was in good hands when I fought this boss for 30 minutes on a level 200 build. first fromsoft dlc for me

                                                A STR and D DEX at +10, seems to be slightly longer and slower than the Iron Greatsword. As a Gael's user I was hooping for something similar and loving it so far.

                                                  Gave myself an hour to play the dlc and spent the entire time beating my head against this boss. Fromsoft does it again <3

                                                  • Better than iron greatsword for strength builds. AoW projectile is short ranged but the followup hit covers some ground. Reminds me of my favorite sword dance.

                                                      Saw the stats just now on a New Zealander's stream. It requires 27 strength and 13 dex, and at base level has B strength and E dex scaling, no other reqs. Pure physical damage. It looks like a Somber weapon, having an AoW called "Solitary Moon Slash" - the fact that the ash matches the name of the weapon means it's probably unique/locked.

                                                      • Please, don't be another Faith greatsword... please, don't be another Faith greatsword... just give us a solid hunk of steel that we can swing around like Guts in the Golden Age arc... please, Michael Zaki, you're our last hope.
