Knight's Greatsword is a Greatsword in Elden Ring. The Knight's Greatsword scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity and is a good Weapon for melee combat. Its skill, Stamp (Upward Cut) also allows the user to prevent recoil from enemy attacks and follow up with another strong attack.

 

Greatsword bestowed upon skilled swordsmen in the demigods' service, and yet had no rank or title.

Featuring a long grip enabling a dual-handed use, this weapon was designed to dispatch larger foes. Being charged with such a duty was undoubtedly a great honor.

      It's so cute to see some comments already complaining about this weapon on 1.08.

      Enter 1.09: now it also has functional hyperarmor r2s that are AT LEAST as good as claymore pokes. And satisfactory running attacks for a good measure.

        I’m so sick of chasing you people for 3 minutes while you do nothing but fish for the jump triple combo some YouTuber showed you. Miyazaki please, add bonus instability damage to jumps again.

        • Anonymous

          THis weapon is incredibly fast for a GS. I used Claymore here and there and when compared attack speed, this is faster. Probably comes with a price of less poise dmg? Anyway Lion's claw is amazing, comboes well wil spells, square off can kinda do the trick untill lion's claw looted. All in all it has less utility ( no thrust ) compared to swords capable of that, but AS pretty amazing.

            you're get true combos if you flick your camera from side to side while not locked on, dunno if intended or not

            • I've added this to my weapon rotation on my Int/Dex/Arc build. So when I'm not using Darkmoon/Eleonora's/Moonveil, I use this. It has great Dex scaling, the good two-handed light attacks and really good reach. Paired with Piercing Fang AoW, this thing hits like a freight train!

                  i think the description is a berserk reference since it looks like guts golden age sword. Serving a demi-god is a nod to griffith and the no rank or title is a not to his band of the hawk mercenary group.

                    This greatsword is good, really good. Has great scaling for any physical type affinities. Is the 2nd longest greatsword. Has fairly unique 2-handed light attack move set. Sadly it doesn’t have a thrust attack, but implaling thrust is a great substitute. With the range of the sword and lunge, it’s amazing at roll catching right after a previous hit. If you ever want to try a quality build, this is an amazing choice. 10/10 favorite weapon in the game.

                      So how does keen and heavy scale better than quality? STR and DEX alone scale better than STR and DEX together.

                        Very good weapon I would rate it 10/good

                          I like the 2H R1 but to really make this good it should have kept the 2H R2 and roll attack from the Hollowslayer/Mirrah Greatsword.
                          As it stands it's a bit weird to be doing skilled and technical attacks and then transition into a clumsy ground slam.

                            Sleekest European style sword in the entire game. The devs used the DS2 Drangleic Greatsword moveset and DS3 Hollowslayer moveset. Its the only western style moveset that has a historical look to it.

                              Something that's interesting about this weapons is that the quality affinity actually performs well here, even competes with heavy. Very rare to see quality actually being viable on anything outside of non-meta high levels.

                                "KNIGHT's Greatsword": "Greatsword bestowed upon skilled swordsmen in the demigods' service, and yet had NO RANK OR TITLE." Apparently I'm not the only one waiting on the great Kenneth Haight to get his act together and start knighting knights.

                                  Now, this weapon is otherwise quite pretty, but that ridge is absolutely ridiculous. It would stop any cut in its tracks. Really dumb for an otherwise completely reasonable weapon design.

                                    "The Knight's Greatsword is the longest weapon in it's class."

                                    FALSE. Sacred Relic Sword is slightly longer.

                                      Does a jumping R1/standard R2 true combo into an R1? That's pretty nifty in a game where combos are pretty rare.

                                        The actually **** is the drop rate in this game.

                                        I’ve went through over 30 silver pickled fowl foot things in two hours and still haven’t gotten this ****ing sword.

                                        I can kill the Godrick knight in the camp by the war master’s shack 3 times before the silver pickle fowl foot runs out. That means I killed that Knight at least 90 ****ing times. WTF

                                              I'm having so much with this thing, either powerstanced or two-handed.
                                              Reminds me of my beloved Mirrah's Greatsword, because it's not as powerful as the Hollowslayer from DS3.
                                              I love it.

                                                Pretty important to note that just like the Hollowslayer GS from DS3 two handed R1s are unparriable following the first R1

                                                  Anybody ever notice how aesthetically similar this looks to Artorias' GS? My guess is they were considering adding it yet again but then decided against it. Wouldn't have been their brand of bizarre-lazy otherwise (just look at the scope of this game) .

                                                  this, the fact that it looks a little more mundane, and the flippy Mirrah style moveset.

                                                  PS only missing the unique 1HR2 long range thrust of its DS3 incarnation. That was actually a third signature move most ppl ignored since it's 90% show and hard to connect, but so very Artorias :)

                                                    I love the look of this sword. Wished at least one damn straight sword had a style similar to this. Farmed the knights because I thought it was a straight sword too. Not that I have anything against greatswords. I just really like square off

                                                    • Tested both this and the Claymore on a Quality build, both at +25 and with 55 Str and 55 Dex and infused with the Quality Infusion/Set to Quality Infusion with Ashen of War.

                                                      Claymore: 671 damage
                                                      Knight's Greatsword: 679 damage

                                                      Damage of each weapon with each physical infusion is quite interesting, with the the Knight's Greatsword beating out the Claymore in the Keen and Quality infusions by a mere 5 and 8 damage points respectively, and the Claymore beating the Knight's Greatsword by 12 points. So theoretically, the Claymore would be a better Str choice (If one doesn't go with the Iron Greatsword, Bastard Sword or Gargoyle's Greatsword) while the Knight's Greatsword is a better choice for Keen or Quality.


                                                      In game however, it really depends on the user. Personally I find that the Claymore works better with counter-plays with the bonus thrust damage and the quicker R2 pokes being great to trade our punish opponents. The Knight's Greatsword is slightly longer than the Claymore, and is better for more aggressive playstyles, pushing the opponent with your 2-handed R1s and baiting people with the 2-handed R2, and its R1 has a higher likelihood of catching an opponents panic roll if they roll left or right. Its 1-handed R2 however is a tad bit too slow compared to the crouch/roll R1,but both will usually be dodged by rolling backwards unless latency says something. All in all both are really flexible and can be interchanged depending on the player's playstyle/mood.

                                                      TLDR:
                                                      -Difference between Claymore and Knight's Greatsword's damage is negligible. (5-12 points of damage, and TESTED on a quality build.)
                                                      -Claymore shines more for players who like to counter-play or trade with their opponents due to its poking R2s.
                                                      -Knight's Greatsword shines more for players who are aggressive and may want a tad bit more reach on their Greatsword.
                                                      -One-Handed Moveset of Claymore is easier to master compared to Knight's Greatsword.
                                                      -This is an OPINION, pick whatever weapon you like more!

                                                        Try it with Quickstep skill. Moving through an enemy stance to appear by his back or his side in one click. In particular against bosses using huge front defense or counter attackj. The range and the rate of the strike make this weapon insane.

                                                                • OMFG I just found this out...powerstancing and hitting a backwards dodge (NOT a backwards roll) and then hitting a L1 thrusts both weapons forward. So there's your thrust with the Knight's GS.

                                                                  I ended up going to +25 with this thing because even though the claymore hits a little harder the added reach on the Knight's GS is completely worth it.

                                                                  • Anonymous

Anyone had the greatsword dropped from this particular mob?

I just wish it was a little stronger or a little better scaling to keep up with the competition. It has good reach and a cool moveset, but I don't think that makes up for it's lack of scaling in just about any build.

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                                                      Also, all the moves employ fully the length of the blade to its maximum extent.
                                                                                                      Add that it swings so fast that you will stun an enemy even if you get a shield counter incoming... it's a nearly unpunishable moveset.

It's not like that specific greatsword moveset originated from DS2 or anything. Nah, DS3 invented it.

The default strength build character starts with 16str and 9dex, so for a 50str build you need to invest 34pts, whereas for the quality build that would give you the same dmg output, you need 52pts. TLDR: between heavy and quality, this weapon favors heavy.

                                                                                                                However, with this beast you've got great r1-r2 combos anywhere in your moveset, with this much range you can open with an r1 OR r2 on almost any mob in the game without being punished (with this much range i'd argue it's better then a claymore r2 because of the cleave potential and the r1 works well in tight spaces) and oh yeah and did I mention thing can use wild strikes unlike either of those? You can get some good scaling very quickly with heavy and quality too, this weapon is a blast, and it matches gold/brass guilded armours damn near perfectly.
