Rakshasa's Great Katana | Elden Ring Wiki

Unbleeds your Rivers of Blood

Submit

Love this weapon, I was worried the fire knights would be a pain on my dex guy, but this slices them up quite nicely. No Arc scaling is wild though.

Submit

does the dmg taken further increase if 2 are wielded?

Submit

Looks pretty sick with the Fire Knight’s set

Submit

Despite claiming to only have B scaling in Dex, it's actually quite good. 80 Dex compared to a Keen Guardian Swordspear, its AR is only 2 lower.

Submit

this is literally just a longer rivers of blood wtf kind of pointless **** is this

Submit

Beat promised consort with this guy. Just heavy enough to deal damage, just fast enough to punish tight windows between combos. Didn't proc bleed more than twice but it was enough to make a difference.

Submit

> “the wielder is less likely to stagger from counterattacks”

Youll never guess how i cheesed this boss

Submit

Could be Oceans of Blood if it had any Arc scaling

Submit

1) It does NOT work with other weapons if you have it on your off hand. It only works when you are attacking with this particular weapon (even though the icon of the buff is shown when you have it in your off hand, i didn't do anything for my main hand while i was attacking).

2) The hyper armour is decent but not great. You still get interrupted.

3) The frames that the hyper armour occurs are not forgiving. You have to be well into the attacking animation.

4) The best way to use this weapon for me was through trading attacks with the charged heavy attack which is a poke, so it does counter damage. If you stack 2 handed talisman, the axe talisman, and the spear talisman and do a charged heavy, you are dealing stupid amounts of damage, and they are far easier to land than -say- the Zweihander, because of the hyper armour and the higher speed.

5) Can potentially be very strong in PvP, but i don't know because i don't PvP like ever.

Submit

If you hold down the heavy attack and then press B, it gives a different attack.

Submit

we found it, the mountain of corpses..

Submit

Can go off hand just for its passive and can be useful if your AOW lacks hyperarmor

Submit

This one is definitely the one that stands out more between the three great katanas imo. The thrust on the heavy attack is very good, the scaling is great and the weapon art is very, very good. Outside of that, it looks absolutely great too.

Submit

Is the extra poise during attacks buff applied to the weapon in your other hand?

Submit

I wonder how it will do with the infinite stamina physick...

Submit

The Ash of War can’t proc bleed?

Submit

A huge issue is that there is no bloodflame damage on this given it's a mohgwyn dynasty weapon

Submit

Pond of Hemorrhage my beloved

Submit

Absoulute flop of a weapon. It is just a worse, less versatile version of Great Katana. Ash of War is trash, and u cant even change it, because it is a "unique" somber titanite weapon. Looks like "Mohgwyn Dynasty" style blood weapon, but doesn't have fire damage and arcane scaling or even bloodflame VFX on its weapon art. I am extremly disappointed...

Submit

I laughed when I saw the 12 strength requirement. This huge bloody odachi demon katana requires much less than all curved greatswords.

Submit

Oceans of Blood

Submit

This and Dragon-Hunter not scaling with Arcane is my 9/11.

Submit

I love it, still figuring out how to use the hyperarmor properly tho

Submit

Jet stream Sam Sword

Submit

no arcane scaling? why???

Submit

Can you apply weapon Buffs to this?

Submit

Kinda weird this doesn't have arcane scaling, unlike the very similar looking Rivers of Blood and Eleonora's Poleblade

Submit

One of the few areas of the DLC where I think FromSoft dropped the ball a bit. There were so many niches they could've filled, and "RoB but bigger" certainly wasn't one of them. Like, I don't know, give us a Faith Katana, and give it a Wing of Astel kind of R2 (double hits with built-in projectiles that deal Holy damage).

Submit

can you have it in your offhand and still gain the effect?

Submit

if you use two will it double the effect?

Submit

Does anyone know how much more damage you take with it equipped?

Submit

Oceans of Blood...

Submit

The AoW on this weapon is an "I win" button for any humanoid npc, they just cannot avoid it.

Submit

-10% Negation to all damage types while attacking. Also combines with -15% pierce negation reduction that occurs during all attacks (counter attack window) for a total of -26.5% pierce negation (these values are without any negation from armor/talismans, values will change when wearing armor due to negation calculations).

The poise effect seems to work similarly to bull goat talisman, where it reduces incoming poise damage but this time only while attacking.
49 poise normally doesnt let me take a light poke from a spear soldier, but i was able to take one during a one handed light attack (other great katana one handed light attacks still resulted in a stagger)

Submit

charged heavy has a feint if you input a dodge during

Submit

Monster hunter longsword monster hunter longsword

Submit

I'm so glad they didn't include the giant sheathe that clips into the ground like the other great katanas.

Submit

I don‘t understand why this sword is scaling with Dex instead of Arcane. It‘s wielder was known to be a blood lusting maniac which is showcased and described by her Armor. The dragon great katana is already scaling with dex, would have been nice if they would have taken the oppurtunity and let this one scale with Arcane. I hope they change it in the future.

Submit

The extra poise on this is really nice and damage is good at +10 and full set. Would the Dragon crest greatshield talisman negate the overall extra damage percentage?

Submit

Finally, the Murasama to my Jetstream Tarnished

Submit

they really couldnt come up with a more imaginative aow could they lmfao thats so basic

Submit

bro rivers of blood was so good they made rivers of blood 2

Submit

daedicars woe status symbol does that mean this katana makes me take 100% increased damage??? tf??

Submit

Ahh, Finally

Oceans of blood

Submit

rob if it was based

Submit

NPCs don't even try to escape Weed Cutter, which chains infinitely. You can just keep pushing L2 until they die.

Submit

You get counterattack resistance penalty for all non-physical and physical, not just for pierce damage. 10% increase damage taken every time you swing for physical and non-physical. Makes you take 26.5% increase damage for pierce damage.

Submit

it's only me that i spite as i stand up and fight, the only thing i know for real-

Submit

Tested in limgrave just by holding the weapon and I didn't receive any aditional damage

Even though the I had debuff icon beneath my health

Is only when attacking? Maybe using the ash of war?

Submit

pair this with rakshasa set, def and consecutive hits or other offensive talismans, and slap on the newly buffed malenias great rune = monster

Submit

is this and the set bugged or something? i'm taking the exact same damage i was taking without the armor and sword

Submit

I use this one because it looks cool :)
It also has no sheathe

Submit

Thank you for using this weapon hosts and gankers, parrying you into oblivion has never been easier

Submit

Completely unbalanced. Infinite hyperarmor, really long range thrusting running attack, weapon art that you can spam forever, if PvP is not already dead thanks to the chainsaw glitch, this will kill it for good

Submit

why no arcane scaling? useless.
Blood infused great katana wayyy better

Submit

This weapon has hyperarmor for both the 1H and 2H moveset unlike any other Great Katanas but it lowers your defenses.

Submit

how much is the % of damage recieved?

Submit

-sheathe on back.
-comes from a legend.
-red blade.
-Double wide slash weapon skill.
THE MORTAL BLADE

Submit

Great Katana with Claymore heavy attacks?? Let’s ****ing go

Submit

the damage is great, I have it at +10 with 55 dex, rakshasa set and I get 775 when two handed

Submit

Any normal sized humanoid enemy, shade, blah blah gets slapped with this thing's weapon art. Carried this thing on my back just for the ho slapping potential. Stagger chain until you are out of stamina. This thing is awesome, and if you haven't slapped some ass with it you haven't even been playing yet :P

Submit

LAKES OF BLOOD

Submit

I hope this gets Arcane scaling added in a later patch. From a thematic perspective, all of the other red-stained weapons (RoB, Eleonora’s Poleblade, Bloody Helice for example) have Arcane Scaling, and while Mogh isn’t mentioned, Raksasha’s bloody nature still fits the Arcane blood theme.

Submit

can it be buffed with spells/greases?

Submit

Looks cool but wack scaling, sadge

Submit

LET'S DANCE

Submit

anyone know the scaling at +10?

Submit

welcome back chaos blade

Submit

they made one of the coolest looking swords and armour but it makes you take extra damage.

Submit

> Big Rivers of Blood
> 0 arc scaling
> Bruh

Submit

the meme come real, it's ocean of blood guys

Submit

I think the reason it has no arcane scaling or fire damage is because it has nothing to do with Mohg, it's only red because Rakshasa has slain one too many people with it.

Submit

not worth it unless they add arc scaling. I can't break the game enough without the bleed.

Submit

fat river of blood

Submit

This thing.... DOESN'T scale with arcane?!?! Why?!?!?!

Submit

where is the ladder?

Submit

*Oh, good. Why that's very good! Yes, i like that!"

Submit

Does bloodflame blade work on this? Like bloodfang? It should...
