Zweihander is a Colossal Sword in Elden Ring. The Zweihander scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity, and is a versatile Weapon for heavy-weight combat. This weapon, the lightest of all colossal swords, is able to set a devastating tempo for an encounter through its flexible moveset.

Just about the largest sword a mere man is capable of swinging. True to its name, it is designed to be wielded in both hands, but those of merely ordinary strength will still struggle to do so.

The long blade is heavy and sharp, sending foes reeling back with its broader strokes, while also capable of a devastating piercing thrust.

Where to Find Zweihander in Elden Ring

Can be purchased from the Isolated Merchant for 3,500 Runes. He can be found in his shack at the very west of the Weeping Peninsula. [Map link]

Zweihander Poison Upgrades

Elden Ring display values for poison and blood include buildup added by scaling via the Arcane Stat. The values on this table reflect the default values only. Your own Arcane Scaling will alter the number while inside the game. If you don't meet the arcane requirements for an arcane-scaling passive then buildup will show as 60% of the base values.

This upgrade cannot be enchanted with Magic or boosted with Consumables.

  I’ve probably started 50 new characters thinking “on this guy I’ll use X weapon for a change” or “maybe I’ll try Y weapon this playthrough”. Who TF am I kidding, as soon as I get whatever that weapon is I feel dirty and immediately make a beeline for the ZWEI.

  Crouch R1 into delayed R2 into jump R1 is a good roll catch three hit combo in some circumstances. Super satisfying to land all three hits on an opponent.

  Two hand the weapon. Use braggart's roar. Running heavy. Charged heavy. Backstep + light attack. Charged heavy. Any target, apart from some bosses will be dead and most players should have had their pancaking needs met to boot. Cheers to @03 Apr for pointing this out, it almost feels like ds1 again. And obviously using all the charged attack / roar boosts will make the the combo all the more deadly.

  I still remember finding this one in Dark Souls and killing my first black knight with it. Zwei was always there for me.

  Can't believe people are still on this page complaining that you can't pancake enemies when War Cry/Braggart's Roar is right there. After using Braggart's Roar your ER Zwei basically becomes a DS1 Zwei for 50 seconds: high damage, pancake R2s.

  Some useless interesting facts: one of the largest real-world Zweihanders is attributed to Dutch hero "Grutte" Pier Gerlofs Donia of early 16th century, and is 7 ft long and 14.5 lb heavy. Most likely it's actually a ceremonial Zweihander, not intended for actual fencing.
  Most of "real" Zweihanders were about 5 ft long and 7-8 lb weight. Still required two-handed grip to handle properly.

  For those curious about the patch 1.09 buffs to this weapon, the Zwei went from B to A scaling in STR with heavy infusion and gets 773 AR at 80 STR two-handed, compared to 755 pre-patch. Not a huge bonus overall, just 18 more damage, but now it's only ~100 AR behind the Greatsword, and with how damage calculations work that 100 AR might still be worth the tradeoff to get less equip load, less stamina consumption, thrust R2's, and lower requirements. Also I think some of the elemental infusions are better too so that's cool.

  For comparable stat requirements and only somewhat higher weight compared to the more gracile Greatsword class, the Zwei offers a Faith or Int build the chance to swing a huge sword around like a Strength chad. There is no infusable regular Greatsword better than the Zwei for casters, and other Colossal Swords tend to be too heavy and stat-intensive for low-END/STR/DEX casters. It also boasts an impressive moveset, mostly for its rolling and R2 thrusts but also its sweeping light attacks and powerful strong running attack. It's far from its origins here in Elden Ring, but its new niche offers some exciting build potential.

  I understand this sword has many benefits in its current configuration, and it is my favorite colossal. But, I do feel like a slight damage or scaling buff is warranted. It does almost the same damage as the claymore on a heavy infusion, despite being heavier and slower. It doesn't need a massive buff, but I feel like it should be doing maybe 30 AR or so more than it currently does, at least on a heavy infusion anyway.

  By far the best moveset of all colossals. R2s can be mixed with pokes, leading to lots of rollcatches. Throw in quickstep or Storm Stomp and you have quite a beast on it's own.

  You shouldn't sleep on this weapon. Yes, it's no longer the Str based R1 monster it used to be, but it has a number of benefits compared to other CS weaapons.
  
  One, it's the lightest in it's class while maintaining all of it's Poise damage. This is important because it allows you to wear heavier armor to Poise trade with it's thrust-heavy nature.
  
  Two, it has a natural Thrust R2 which fully benefits from Spear Talisman, which only one other CS weapon has. And this one has significantly more reach than the other one that does.
  
  Three, the REACH. It has longer range than many spears. You can use light attacks for crowd control while focusing on R2s and crouch pokes for single targets.
  
  Finally, the low requirements. 11 Dex and 19 Str is easy for about any class to meet, including caster classes. No one expects a Mage to pull out a giant sword out of nowhere if things get dicey.
  
  I'm playing through again in anticipation of the DLC announcement, and my Keen Zweihander with Giant's Hunt is either stunlocking or flat out murdering anything I've come across so far. Sure there's options that will do more damage but you'll sacrifice weight or heavier stat investments.
  
  The Bass Cannon is good.

  If you are weird like me and feel like using a colossal sword in a dex build, this is the perfect one. I highly recommend using with a light load, as it has a stab move when used after a roll. I do not know how it does in lower endurance builds, due to me putting an ungodly amount of points into endurance. (I've had higher stamina than health for the whole game)

  One advantage this has over the Greatsword is lower stamina expense, potentially letting you pressure/aggress longer before you have to back up and take a breather. The actual NUMBERS on how its stamina cost compares are hard to say briefly. Here goes. Zweihander / Greatsword: 1h R1 19 19 19 / 22 22 22, 1h R2 29 29 / 34 34, 1h R2c 39 39 / 45 45, 1h run R1 23 / 27, 1h run R2 29 / 34, 1h roll R1 15 / 18, 1h backstep R1 15 / 18, 1h jump R1 15 / 18, 1h jump R2 29 / 34. 2H R1 23 23 23 / 27 27 27, 2H R2 35 35 / 40 40, 2H R2c 47 47 / 54 54, 2H run R1 27 / 31, 2H run R2 35 / 40, 2H roll/backstep/jump R1 19 / 22, 2H jump R2 35 / 40. So it's notable but not enormous differences that probably add up in context to having "enough stamina available" more often, usually.

  After 50 playthrough or so I think this is my favorite Colossal Weapon/Sword in Elden Ring for NG. It's just so versatile and so easy to play with. It doesn't require a lot of investment in stats like some STR/FA STR/INT DEX/INT weapons so it's ideal for NG.
  Sure there are other weapons with higher damage like Prelate Hammer + Lion Claw, but the Zwei is just so fun to play with. Strong without making the game boring.
  I've used bleed build prior nerf, samurai builds, powerstance twinblades, GUGS, Godslayer, Powerstance Rusted Anchor, Cragblade iron fists among many others. Can't believe this weapon that you just buy in early game can be so good.
  
  It's probably the lightest Colossal so you don't have to spend too much endurance points and can still have thick armor to trade hits. Range is insane, crouch poke is insane. I like the Determination ash of war on this weapon which gives 1.6X damage and cheaper than RKR on a low mind build.

  Lmao at all these comments saying the Zwei is bad, sure the Greatsword is better but that's because the Greatsword is absurd, not because the Zwei is bad. Zwei is still a fantastic option for builds that want to utilize incantations or sorceries because it weighs much less, while still having the crouch pokes that can true combo into Catch Flame/Carian Slicer. The points you save in Endurance and Strength can be put into Faith/Intelligence to boost the power of those spells, to the point where the AR difference between the Zwei and Greatsword is made up by having more scaling on your catalyst of choice. And if you are using a build that primarily uses Dexterity, and you want to swap to a UGS for moveset variety, then a Keen Zweihander will always outperform a Keen Greatsword due to the latter having much higher Strength and Endurance requirements.

  While I still think hunk this sword is good, I think it would have been a whole lot better if it had the same light attacks as the godslayer’s greatsword. Would have made its low attack value compared to the others much more worthwhile for a very good moves set in combination with the pokes.

  I dont understand why people are saying this word is bad, moveset is the same as previous games, good range, good poise damage, having a poke for the r2 i like because doing thrust and slash damage adds versatility. I have found i am able to low level many bosses with this weapon because if you truly know how to use its range you can avoid damage quite well for melee and the low req make it perfect for any non strength build that wants a UG. It may not have a flashy gimmiky weapon art or op damage but it certainly has enough going for it to make strategic sense to use, its not so OP to the point of being a crutch like the blasphemous blade or many others but to say its bad is ridiculous, its perfectly good if you know what you are doing with it, if you are a strength build there are probably better options but for just about any other build it makes allot of sense

  For anyone curious, Heavy (STR) and Keen (DEX) infusions have the same scaling as each other. Keep in mind you get bonus STR scaling from 2-handing. This weapon is very good value on 55 Strength (Heavy) and you only get about 50 more AR by going up to 80 Strength. Even if you max out DEX as well and use a Quality infusion, you only get another 100 AR on top of that, definitely not worth all those levels.

  This thing is the nichest of niche. Its moveset and range is awesome so it's really fun to use, but man it's so easily beaten out by other options as far as power goes at almost every turn that you really gotta wonder how much that R2 poke is really worth.
  The Greatsword is about better at almost everything. On my build by, only reshuffling offensive stats to meet usage and weight requirements while keeping VIG at 60 and staying within RL125, the only thing I've found this thing out-damages the Greatsword in is with Keen infusion. In Keen the Zwei can outdo the Greatsword, but a 2-handed Heavy Zwei out-damages a 2-handed Keen Zwei and then a Heavy Greatsword out-damages a Heavy Zwei and we're back to square 1. Only way Keen is worth it is if you (ironically given its name) one hand it and run an offstoc with it; its weight allows you to do that pretty comfortably and that gives you a lot of fun options to play with. That said again tho, a Lightning infusion is directly better than a Keen infusion for that as well, higher AR and the split-damage is beneficial given the generally poor Lightning resistance in PvP, and once again, you're back to just running a Lightning infused Greatsword instead. Really really gotta decide if that poke is worth it.
  
  Only other niche I can think of for it is a Magic infusion on an INT spellblade build. Its light weight compared to Greatsword and Royal means you can run a strong staff with high INT without worrying about neutering your magic damage. The real competition to this now becomes the Iron Greatsword one class below it which on Magic infusion also outdoes the Zwei (oof), but the Zwei does have the advantage of how it plays just by nature of being a colossal, people like keeping their distance against colossals more than other weapons which you can punish with your magic, then poke or pancake em when they're forced to get in close (runs well with Gravitas too to catch them when they're in your space and abuse its range to hit em on the panic roll).
  That's it. That's the only super niche I can imagine it actually excelling at over its other options. Everything else is literally just a game of poke vs power. I really wish it got a little higher AR, just a little bit, that wouldn't have ruined the exploration encouragement they set up for PvE but still would let you run this awesome weapon with its awesome moveset without lingering doubts. B scaling with Dex in Lightning infusion would've been super appreciated too...

  Its sad how much this pales in comparison to the Dark Souls Zweihander, sure it's got low requirements for a colossal sword, is the only one that pokes other than the mediocre Troll Knight Sword, and is the lightest one, but it hits like a rolled up newspaper compared to the other colossal swords unless you're not a strength build or you just love it with all of your heart, it's not bad, but not good either, the only majorly good thing about it is that it has low requirements for it's class, otherwise you might as well ditch it for almost any other colossal sword one you have the minimum requirements for them, its really just a sad shadow compared to the og.

  Charged R2 thrusts of this is more than enough to compensate for the lack of AR, this thing ridicules people in pvp, mocks their grandma, makes fun of their dog, takes their lunch money, it leaves them in shambles.

  Damage wise it's probably best to use this fire or lightning infused on dedicated dex or strength builds. Gets close to or slightly over 800 once you approach 80. Problem is it still gets out-damaged pretty heavily by anything other weapon in its class. Quality infused on a 55/55 build, its two handed AR is equal to the one handed AR of the Greatsword, and you see how that becomes problematic for long term physical viability. So the real use of this is magic infused on an intelligence build. The relatively low requirements mean that it's easier for a pure 80 int build to use this as opposed to any other colossal sword, and it provides a relatively good amount of damage while allowing you access to a weapon class normally out of range for that build. 780 AR for a minimum requirement 80 int magic Zwihander. Not game breaking, but it lets you use that sick moveset without heavy physical investment other colossal sword demand. Likely still better off investing in the points needed for the Royal Greatsword at that point though, 884 at minimum requirements and 60 int (lower int to compensate for the extra physical investment). So... man I wish this was slightly closer in damage to other colossal swords. The moveset and visuals are fantastic, it's just so majorly outclassed in terms of damage on pretty much any build. If it was just a bit higher in damage the moveset would make up for the damage difference.

  this thing seriously needs a damage boost.... it gets outclassed by almost every greatsword for christ's sake. on some builds the AR between a claymore and zwei are little to nothing, but even in the builds where the zwei beats the claymore in terms of AR, it still get outclassed bc its heavier, slower, and requires more stat investment to wield, also the claymore a better thrust R2, and a follow up thrust after it.
  i really wish i could use this on a cold or int build to put waves of darkness on it, but i just cant justify it.
