Watchdog's Greatsword is a Colossal Sword in Elden Ring. The Watchdog's Greatsword scales primarily with Strength and is a good Weapon for cleaving many enemies at once.  

 

Stone greatsword wielded by Erdtree Burial Watchdogs.

Though decorated with the watchman's eye, the pupil was taken by graverobbers and is now hollow, leaving this sword a mere lump of stone.

 

Where to Find Watchdog's Greatsword in Elden Ring

The Watchdog's Greatsword weapon can be found at the following location:

  • Dropped by the sword wielding Watchdogs in the Mountaintops of the Giants.
  • Giants' Mountaintop Catacombs: This dungeon is located East past the Zamor Ruins grace. Follow the normal progression path until you see a group of  enemies and a Fire Prelate. Then double back to your right to find the entrance.
    Once you enter the dungeon, you will eventually come across a lift. Take the lift down, and then trigger the lift but quickly get off. Another lift will rise up from underneath and by taking that new lift down, you will enter the area with Two Watchdogs as well as other various enemies. The second Watchdog can drop it.
  • Giant-Conquering Hero's Grave: This dungeon can be reached by heading West of the Giants Grave Post site of Grace (just past the guardians garrison), and jumping over a small ravine.
    After entering the Dungeon heading down a short flight of stairs, a Fire Monk will approach from your right. Head right down the hall where the Fire Monk approached from and peer over the windows.  There will be a place to drop down. The Watchdog enemy in this room must be led into the light before defeating, but note that it enters a Vulnerable State after entering the light.
  • Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs: One sword-wielding Watchdog can be found guarding the Imp Head (Elder), which has a chance to drop the sword.

      Needs more base damage, maybe at the cost of some str scaling. Currently, outside of fashion/cosplay reasons, there is no reason to not use the Greatsword over this every single time. Gugs has better range, better guard stats, and higher damage on every infusion while being almost the same weight.

        Drop rate on this cannot possibly be 8%. The math just isn't mathing. 2 hours farming ar 210 discovery and all I got was experience killing watchdogs.

          Please, for your own sake, do NOT farm this above NG. I waited until past NG+7 to try to grab one for a cosplay build and dear god the Watchdog that drops it is harder than any boss in the regular NG cycle. It has thousands of HP, is immune to status, has seemingly unlimited stance, kills you in two hits no matter what armor or buffs you have, can't be made easier with spirit summons, and requires a long runback to try again. 8% feels like .01% when every attempt takes 5-10 minutes.

            This doesn't have the insanely slow heavy and charged heavy of the GUG. Instead it has the regular downward slam as R2 which is faster.

            • Anonymous

              this feels like gaslighting, the S scaling on this compared to the A scaling on the GUGS still does less damage total.

                would've liked a unique r2 on this bad boy, maybe reminiscent of the quick downward strike that the watchdogs do

                  Because of how jank weapon art scaling is, this keen infused with lightning bolt ash of war hits like a freight train

                    Bluemoon greatsword has evolved! Decent enough in physical infusions, but works wonders with elemental ones.

                      People always seem to compare this with GUGS but this one actually has a niche use that might make you wanna use this instead. It's the best blocking weapon in terms of guard boost. With the 2 handed bonus, heavy infused gives you 66 while standard infused gives you 72.

                        one of few weapons that has a B scaling in Lightning...not that it synergizes with the weapon at all, but yea it's there.

                          If the base drop rate for this weapon is at 8%, I'm gonna eat my cat. I killed about 100 of these damn watchdogs in the Giant-Conquering Hero's Grave and never saw one drop at 171 discovery.
                          Can someone verify if all of the three watchdogs in this damn grave can drop them? Or even one of them? Or is the drop rate secretly lower and it is stated wrong here in the wiki? It's sooo frustrating to farm these enemies

                            Please buff this, maybe buff its quality or dex dmg, give it a strike attack or the watchdog spin attack, or any other of its moveset's.

                              There is one discernible benefit I see to this weapon over Greatsword, and that is having a lower Dex req. A Champion start would only have to level Dex once to wield this, vs. 3 levels for Greatsword. But who doesn't start vagabond anyway?

                                The bare minimum they would have to do to make this a great alternative to the greatsword is change the damage type from standard to blunt. It also makes lore sense to do so since this is a stone sword from a stone cat statue.

                                    It may be just my luck, but at 239 discovery, I could not get this thing to drop at the Giant-Conquering Hero's Grave after nearly 30 attempts.
                                    got it 2nd try at the Giants' Mountaintop Catacombs.

                                    I did some additional grinding to see if this was a fluke (on account of I have no life) and did 20 runs at each location. 0 drops at GCHG site, 3 drops at GMC.

                                    I have seen videos of people getting it to drop at the GCHG watchdog, but it would be cool to see someone do a deep dive to see if there is a difference between the watchdogs at these locations in terms of drop rate - or if my experience is just a statistical fluke (which I am not denying is possible.)

                                      Even though this scales S in HVY, I still find the Colos. Greatsword more viable in terms of DMG.
                                      Maybe I'm not using it correctly. Any suggestions in terms of getting the most out of this sword?

                                        Outshined by the greatsword in almost every way, which is a shame since I like the aesthetics of this weapon a lot.

                                            Got it within 7 minutes with 147 discovery.
                                            Went to Giant-Conquering Hero's Grave and just jumped out the opening next to the fire monk.
                                            Pass the Watchdog, sit in the circle of light and wait for the imps to debuff, then go for the watch dog after.
                                            I used the memory of grace to send me back after each time instead of running back every time, saves a lot of time.

                                              I had one of the watchdogs chase me to an elevator and commit suicide with a plunging attack into the pit beneath it....then saw this appear in my inventory.

                                              Was a pleasant surprise since I didn't know it existed, especially after reading these comments...

                                                    Guard boost values on here are wrong, it does not get 66 stability, in your sweet dreams maybe. It has lower guard than Greatsword.

                                                      Giants Mountaintop Catacombs is the best spot IMO, you can jump through the window right after the Fire Monk and survive the fall while landing right in front of the Watchdog. You even get a free critical from the dispelling light thingy.

                                                        This thing is made of stone, gets S strength scaling, and is found far later than Greatsword but doesn't catch up to its AR. It could have been this game's FUGS! But no. Just standard damage. Just an incredibly rare, incredibly lategame, worse version of the Greatsword you can get for free minutes after starting the game. Its base damage is so much lower that despite the higher scaling, it does less even at 99str 2H.

                                                            They should reduce the weight, so it can be preferable over the guts greatsword for different build/armor.

                                                                Shame that there isn't another version of this weapon with the Glintstone jewel still inside. Could've been like the staff where it's still a pure strength weapon, but the Ash of War is something magic related.
                                                                I think it would've been cool to have a special, more primal version of the Carian Greatsword weapon art, and instead of the blade being a vertical slash it could've been a horizontal sweep.

                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                            Easy Farming Strat:

                                                                            1.Head To the Giants Mountaintop Catacombs, progress and head down the large lift and then activate it again and jump off to bring up a hidden lift then head down that one.

                                                                            2.Once at the bottom of the secret lift you should reach a Stake of Marika up ahead you'll come across a imp atop some stairs and below a Staff Watchdog run past them and straight down past the first frost pillar trap and towards a second.

                                                                            3.Kill a second imp in right side alcove just before you reach the second frost pillar trap, behind the trap is the sword watchdog you need to farm. Pretty easy kill but If you're struggling to kill him you can reactivate the frost pillar trap by hitting it and kiting the watchdog into it for extra damage with good timing.

                                                                            4.If it dies and doesn't drop the sword, make sure you deactivate the trap if you reactivated it and then go suicide yourself into the staff watchdog you ran past, respawn at the nearby Stake of Marika the rush back and repeat 3-4 until you get the drop.

                                                                            Took me about 8 tries with 118 discovery.

Two casts will stagger them, and can be pulled off before the watchdog can do a single attack. You can chain stun/riposte them to death without taking a single hit.

                                                                                            • Anonymous

The reach is also not as long but I still like this weapon for the fashion, and it performs basically the same.

                                                                                                This chop puts your character in a low stance for a second that can duck under a surprising number of attacks.

                                                                                                For example, vs Omens, the R2 chop can interrupt anything except their slap attacks; but it also ducks under the slap attack, making it completely safe on wake up.

                                                                                                Give it a shot!

After lowering the trap behind the first Watchdog, run past it and raise the trap again. Then use a bow to aggro the second watchdog. Keep shooting at it until it is in range of the trap but then stop to prevent it from continuing to advance. Both will be dead in 9 blasts of the trap in NG.

When onehanded, the Watchdog's has less AR than the Greatsword up to 28 FTH, the same AR between 29 FTH and 33 FTH and starts to overtake the Greatsword at 34+ FTH. With STR 99 and FTH 99, the Watchdog's beats the Greatsword bei a WHOPPING 20 AR when twohanded and 9 AR when onehanded. Lmao
