playing on a character with 11 mind rn and the weapon art is surprisingly good even with no fp
Does the little extra range and the Weapon Art make up for the ~150 less AR compared to the Bloodhound’s Fang? At least with 80 levels of stat spread to offenses.
Wanted to try out Curved Greatswords because I’ve never touched them in other souls games. And the Bloodhound’s sheer amount of AR + grease compatibility is intimidating compared to other CGSs.

When having buffed yourself with Golden Epitath, the AOW of Morgott's Cursed Sword just bounces off people. Apparently this was a problem with the Golden Epitath for some other weapons as well, i don't know if they fixed it with the other weapons yet, the forum posts were old, but the problem persists with Morgott's sword.

Crazy, I was rocking a low level dual wield curved greatswords with this on the right, and it’s the first character that defeated Malenia first time, without even buffs. The AR on this thing is crazy, not to mention, the bleed.

Awesome weapon. I'm lvl 92 and I'm powerstancing 2 of them at +7. 18 str, 40 dex, and 20 arcane. With Millicent's Prosthesis (RIP Milli) I'm doing 429 AR, and 62 bleed. Used by itself it has decent damage, and the reach is really nice. I can get 2 or 3 bleed procs on most bosses. It works extremely well with one in each hand. They are light weight so you can wear heavier armor to reach your poise break points, stack bleed quicker, hyper armor, good A/R, and the weapon art is deadly.

I love this weapon, it's just beautiful to look at and the AoW is a work of art.... I really wish it got A or S Dexterity scaling at +10. This is a really unique and special sword, so I wish it was stronger. (by comparison, the Bloodhound's Fang C/B Str/Dex scaling gives it wayyy higher damage)

Love the forward sprint you do with the weapon art before attacking. Allows easy gap closing before initiating those devasting strikes. Allows you to play very aggressively and reminds me of the forward momentum you would have when attacking after dodging in Bloodborne.

I love this thing, it makes dealing with any kind of knight or otherwise high-poise enemy simple. Just L2, do the followup, and then spam R1 until the bloodloss procs or they die, whichever first.

Why does the sword only show a buildup of 36 blood loss in game? Is it 36 or 60 like the wiki?
- Anonymous
Crazy good in PvP on a Dex build. The L2 is a fantastic roll catcher, with good tracking and absurd range. The 2nd hit is a bit hit-or-miss, but you can always follow up the first L2 with an R1, or even R2 if you're feeling cheeky. It doesn't build Bleed as quick as RoB or an infused weapon, but it deals enough physical damage so that the bleed proc is usually the finishing blow.

this weapon would be 10x cooler if you held it how morgott did
- Anonymous
Does anyone have explanation on why the weapon art have those “mohg like” fire as if morgott is slicing the formless mother, which is very uncharacteristic of him since it involves flame and non-erdtree power. Yes I know it is phase 2 exclusive, implying he is desperate, but how did he learn it in the first place?
I know Bloodhounds Fang is the best Curved Greatsword, but this is my favorite. The AoW is so damn cool, and it build bleed quicker per hit.
- Anonymous
Not the best of weapons but it doesn't require a lot of arcane to use it since it primarily scales via dexterity. What I really like is this thing has some serious range and it's weapon art is pretty good.
Plus this thing looks pimp af
I find at 45 arcane this thing can bleed heavy armor people with 1 weapon art combo if you also landed a single hit beforehand, I also use 50 dex to help on the regular damage but It's always going to be worse than any strength curved sword at 125 for single hit damage however the bleed danger at all times is real.
My setup is not min maxed yet at 125, it's bad but 45 arcane is definitely perfect. If you go 60 you literally will drop like 70 AR compared to a strength curved GS on top of them having flame strike buff at the minimum for even more and that's with curved GS being not that great damage-wise.

The only DEX/ARC weapon in the game that I know of that leans heavily in the DEX direction. Compare it with the Marais Execution's Sword, which is the only STR/ARC weapon that leans heavily in the STR direction. Building around the Marais is all about maximizing the damage on its unique AF weapon art and finding opportunities to cast that for big numbers. I think the intention with this one is to equip the Kukri and Poisonbone Dart consumables (the only consumables that scale well with these stats) and use those as your "spellbook" (alongside this thing's WA). You're not going to get any good spells with just 17 ARC, and you won't have points to spare to pump ARC or FTH further because you blew them all on DEX. Could be an interesting fringe build.
- Anonymous
So is this actually a dex/arc weapon or does it just have the arc requirement for the same arbitrary reason so many str weapons have an int requirement? I want to use it because frankly it looks visually stunning but I'd much rather just meet the minimums and go hard on DEX if that's an option.

although it looks like it scales the same way as RoB and Eleonora's, this weapon is the only one of those 3 to actually scale better with DEX than ARC. I'd recommend a 50 DEX 30 ARC split for this one and the opposite for the other two.
- Anonymous
BTW if you're dual wielding magma wyrm curved sword and bloodhound fang, there's no point in swapping either for this. Fang already has blood loss and does more damage, magma wyrm is bigger, does more damage and already has a fire skill that makes you dash forward (which is also funnier to use and does more damage)

Many comments talking about how this sword is cool but not optimal and that's all fair but to that I say: this sword has the most drip in the game and what's even the point of being Elden Lord if you aren't drippy as hell

Someone claiming the gradual bloodloss buildup doesnt exist in the wiki seems to be lying. In the underground roadside i had hit the weapon art a few times to try and get them to bleed. After about a second or two it bleed, AFTER the weapon art had been finished and i was already rolling away, and he was running at me. It bleed the omen and finished him off. Whether it be a bug or a change at some point, this thing at least before was applying the bleed burn.

They really should’ve gave this weapon the bloodflame effect, even a weaker version would’ve been nice (less bleed build up per/s than regular bloodflame). It’s fun to use in PvE, just wish it had a little more going for it.

If you're running a Arcane/Bleed build and having trouble with Radagon and other bosses that are immune to bleed, this is a great weapon as it has good fire damage which most of these are weak to. I melted Radagon/Elden Beast with this

Good alternative choice as a dex/arcane weapon choice after ROB nerf and great curved sword buff. Not op though, for me the after nerf ROB and Morgott curved sword takes about the same time to defeat malenia in 1v1. The bloodflame slice is pure fashion.

I'm buying as much as my inventory can hold and filling my boots with ingredients and upgrade materials as per NG+ checklist before starting my next playthrough.
I really like this sword and it's weapon art, I also have Mohg's sacred spear and I'm toying with the idea of a respec heavy into ARC. But at the same time I don't really want to put the blasphemous blade, godslayer's greatsword and giant's red braid aside by putting what I have in FTH into ARC, any opinions or ideas? I don't see much mention of FTH / ARC builds, is this because I would also need DEX and I'd be spreading my attributes too thin?

Good weapon, would recommend it for any strength arc build. You will have this half way through your first play through and it doesn’t disappoint, in terms of the weapon skill, thank god curved swords were buffed in 1.06. It comes out faster and the bleed buildup is solid. 10/10

Originally picked this up just because who wouldn't want a cool shimmery rainbow sword, but it quickly grew on me and it's my favorite greatsword I've used so far. The bloodflame is such a good roll-catcher and it's surprisingly fast and light for a greatsword. The bleed buildup isn't really the point of the weapon, I find, but a nice bonus suprise when it does proc. Overall a nicely versatile and reliable weapon. I kept finding myself switching to it whenever I was having a tough time with other builds in later NG+ cycles.

Low base damage, poor scaling and a 110 crit modifier on a weapon class that has one of the lowest critical damage multipliers, I can't see any reason to use this other than the weapon art
- Anonymous
This blade far outclasses bloodhound but only if you spec for it. Alexander's shard, Fire Scorpion Charm, Ritual Sword Talisman, and your choice of a talisman as last slot, but I usually use Great Jar's Arsenal for heavy armor at 30 endurance. You could always go for more damage instead. The weapon art hits like a truck in PvP and is pretty good in PvE as well. I also tend to roll catch panic rollers with its delay. It's way better for parries and does considerable damage at 50 dex on riposte even compared to misery-cord.
The one downside to this weapon is that you cannot buff it, but Flame Grant Me Strength raises your WA damage by a ton. I'd say a good buff vs enemy weakness on Bloodhound Fang could make Bloodhound a contender, but not in dps. You want as much Dex as you can get, until you hit the damage cap, and then focus on Arc.
For me, I tend to like to powerstance, which is why I like using Great Jar's Arsenal. Bloodhound is okay to offhand with this, but you can't buff your offhand weapon, meaning that you'd be better off off-handing a different curved greatsword. That being said, I haven't really found any other ones that I like to duel wield with this that scale with arc for bleed. Instead, I like to mainhand swap between Morgott's blade and Bloodhound when I need to be mobile while still dishing out damage like at Malenia. Bloodhound Fang's weapon art has helped me space Malenia's startup waterfowl so many times, while still doing damage. Morgott's blade can't do that.
Can we please get more curved greatswords that actually bleed? Did I miss some of them? I suppose I could mainhand Bloodhound Fang and 2 hand Morgott's blade to use the WA, but then that removes Bloodhound's weapon buff.
- Anonymous
This weapon is awesome but come on man where's the satisfying sword cleaves when Morgott uses it.
Well, I was trading rememberances just for completionist purposes, and this one got me. I was using the Bloodhound Fang+10, but since I liked the Curved Greatswords decided to give this one a try, and upgraded it to +9.
The first point is the visuals, having a Gamer Curved Greatsword is simply amazing, Bloodhoun Fang is nice indeed, but the lore and visuals of Morgott's is simply compelling.
The moveset is about the same, and after almost 70 hours of bloodhound fang, it wasn't a problem at all. But statwise was a drawback for me. In damage output the Fang outperforms the Cursed Sword by a lot, making even the 10% crit bonus useless.
But the WA on the Cursed Sword is (literally) fire. The damage potencial using the followup was doing almost 50% more damage on the Mountaintop Of The Giants Trolls, compared to the BHF. The catch is that is harder to achieve all this pontencial, cause your enemy have to almost dance on you slashes to take all the damage. Other important point is that is also a bit trickier to hit, compared to BHF WA.
I'll definitely be using this (MCS) on areas that the damage output isn't a issue (exploration), but for bosses the BHF will be my main focus.
I might be noting this difference because of my build being heavily invested on DEX, but the D scalling on ARC doesn't seem to be much of a difference on a 50/50 build...
(Well, english isn't my native language, sorry for any inconvenience on this little bible).

There's a reason to use this over Bloodhound Fang? It looks beautiful, but stat-wise does not seem to worth the change, D on ARC does not seem to make it any better...
