Colossal Swords are a type of Weapon in Elden Ring (not to be confused with Colossal Weapons). Colossal Swords replace Ultra Greatswords from the Souls series. As their name implies, Colossal Swords are oversized swords, with lengths often exceeding the height of the Tarnished themselves. While they are extremely heavy and swing much slower than other swords, they make up for it with a long reach and massive damage output. Colossal Swords typically require very high Strength to wield properly- if the player falls a few points short of the requirements, wielding them two-handed can compensate for this.
Colossal Swords are compatible with a range of different Ashes of War, allowing you to mix and match for whatever your needs may be.
Note: As of Patch 1.08, the Speed of Crouching and Rolling Attack has been slightly increased
Note: As of Patch 1.09. attribute scaling and the speed of guard counters for colossal swords has increased
Shadow of the Erdtree added 5 new Colossaal Swords: Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, Fire Knight's Greatsword, Greatsword of Radahn (Light), Greatsword of Radahn (Lord), and Moonrithyll's Knight Sword

Give us the spine of a fire giant as a UGS kind of like if we got a UGS combo of Sword of Milos/Blasphemous Blade, make it a STR/FTH weapon, and then give it a skill that buffs the wepons so every time you swing or thrust it a wave of fire comes out of it

They need their recovery time made less just a bit because currently this problem alone makes them rather unusable in a lot of places. PvE, you can line up a perfect punish and attack once but an enemy that cant be staggered with this will hit you before you can recover out of your attack. PvP, you can simply dodge in and backstab the poor chap before he can recover out of his attack.
- Anonymous
The true colossal sword experience: somehow your attack misses for the 94758686th time in a row but it doesn't really matter because when it hits it will destroys your foe's health bar. Who cares if using a colossal it's as slow as a slug? Stance breaking everything in your path and seeing the big damage number on the screen comes to save the day once again.

IDK why this isn't mentioned anywhere, but this weapon class has, at least in my experience, a physical damage negation increase when swinging regular attacks. You can see this in PVP, as attacks do substantially less damage if they're swinging compared to if they aren't.

The only thing someone needs to do to entirely invalidate these weapons in PvP is to use a Dagger, the recovery times are so short you can bait any attack so they miss, hit them once, then roll away before they can even attack again, completely unpunishable. Every attack from a Colossal Sword is reactable, so the only way they would be able to hit you is if you let them or they predicted when you would try to attack, they attack in anticipation as a read, then your brain doesn't catch up to your hands and you make a mistake and trade on accident. Lights Bows are just as bad if not worse, just roll away any time they try hitting you and perform a rolling shot, they literally can't do anything to stop you other than literally changing to a faster weapon. This is why every user of these weapons is spamming the crouch and rolling attacks, they are the only attacks in the move set that are barely fast enough to be usable in a setting where the opponent is of equal skill and kind of know how to fight Colossal Swords, and even still they are too slow to the point where they get bullied by Daggers and Light Bows. You can still beat 99% of players you encounter online who aren't aware of the counters, but it's still completely disheartening to occasionally watch my character get shanked to death for trying to do anything with a Colossal Sword.

Zweihander my beloved, you look as beautiful as ever. It's a perfect colossal sword for someone who just wants to cosplay as a simple medieval knight. Royal Greatsword is also a great option if you're trying to look more fancy.

DS3 ultra greatswords: Zweihander was your baseline, great moveset, thrust attacks, low stamina costs, does fine with basically any infusion, relatively low weight and requirements. Astora greatsword was incredibly light and uniquely good in dex, int, fth, and luck infusions, and had Charge on L2, making it drastically different from the other UGs. Greatsword was your classic heavy infuse high damage high range smacker, no thrust attacks, none needed. Fume did Strike damage so despite its lower AR would often hit harder than Greatsword, blocks like a shield during Stomp, and has thrusts. Similarly Cathedral GS also did strike and thrust, albeit with lower damage, but had less insane requirements than FUGS and could be infused, doing quite well on a Refined or elemental gem. Profaned had such low requirements that it could be wielded at level 1, and could buff itself, making it the best for low levels but still quite viable at high level quality. Farron had a completely unique playstyle and moveset, then RKPG came along and was similar in some respects, but still markedly different, with a unique L2, different L1s, and innate fire damage. Lothric GS had massive innate lightning and was incredible on heavy, sharp, and lightning infusions, doing absurd damage if you managed to hit that full charged thrust. Black Knight was a compelling reason to play quality, with its rocket launch 2HR2 and tricky-timing thrust 1HR2, not to mention the bonus damage to demons for PvE. And Lorian's was the only truly redundant thing there was, it was quite similar to the Profaned GS, but a bit stronger and with higher requirements.
And in Elden Ring we have four infusible options, which should really be considered just two. Zweihander is lighter and has lower requirements, Greatsword is bigger and does more damage. Watchdog's is just worse than Greatsword in just about every way and Troll's is worse than all of them. Troll Knight's is an embarrassing disappointment, it looks so cool but a Cold or Magic Zweihander will lap it all day, and it is locked to a pretty bad L2, unlike Zwei, which can use the same L2 among countless others. Royal is decent, though it REALLY should always deal frost buildup, but co-op guys, I'm telling ya, you are not gonna hit the invader with that L2. Unless you're Blaidd cosplaying, try just using a cold zwei with a better ash. Grafted is a magic wand that casts Endure+Godrick'sGreatRune and then goes back in the backpack, because Greatsword is just better. Ruins is a magic wand that casts LegallyDistinctFromBlasphemousBladeL2. Starscourge also tends to devolve into an L2 machine because its dual wield moveset is tragically disappointing. Godslayer's does less damage, both physical and fire, than Blasphemous, despite being a colossal, and its L2 is unusable as of 1.10, a butterfly could blink in Taiwan and it will stagger you. Maliketh's is okay for PvP as colossals go, though again being locked to a slow L2 is a tough sell, but positively insulting as a super-lategame reward right before all that is left in the playthrough is a gauntlet of bosses that massively resist Holy. So basically the somber ones are cool but most of them are pretty terrible. The infusible options are Zweihander and Greatsword. The ash of war system was the worst thing to happen to a Fromsoft game.

What's the point of trading if we do the same damage as most of the other weapons, you always tie the trade or lose. older games had combo to hyper armour -> combo. with combos gone trades need to be worth it. good luck trading with someone with dual spears with thrust dmg boosted. Give this bad boy and other collasal the well-deserved damage boost that is not just hinged on crazy weapon skills.

Why tf is everyone on about “thank da lawd dat the schtewpidt gugs thing is gone!”
Like, what about it was stupid? It’s a clear reference to berserk, it would be confused with the great sword class if it was called it’s actual name, and a metric buck-ton of dark souls players play elden ring as well, so they’re probably used to the colossal swords being called Ultra Greatswords. Hell, I’ve played dark souls III for about thirty minutes, maybe an hour, and even then I don’t say “go touch the grace” I say “light the bonfire”.
So, would anyone kindly give me context as to why someone would see it as stupid? Do ya’ll just detest and loath berserk?

Recently watched some Berserk video and the GS is really simular to one of Guts sword.
Considering Elden ring have many inspiration from the manga, the graph does checks out.
Its a fun little easter egg to be had.
Shame thay removed it though, missing a chance of learn a great manga but it does helps with new comers that cant understand the relation of two franchise.

Having lots of fun dual welding colossal swords, even with suboptimal stats, just having the minimum requirements to use and not fat roll, I'm destroying everything in my path in high level areas like Dragonbarrow.
That said, the power stance rolling attack kinda sucks. Not only does it has pretty bad range but also bad tracking too.

The crouch attack looks so stupid.
That is not what a proper attack looks like, you just flop the sword forward without any power behind it.
It is also faster than the crouch attack of greatswords, which makes no sense considering these are the heavy slow versions.

There always be type of people who use Zweihander or GUGS and repeatedly press guarding whenever they're going to attack or when they defeated the opponent like as if they're a pro player. Surely, it's not disrespectful, but it's kinda cringe, like why can't you just be normal? Why do you need to always act cool and edgy even though you're really not?

Good critical hit weapon on a blood build in pvp, since it hits twice it will usually trigger bleed in a single backstab or riposte
There's like only 2 non boss enemies that wield a colossal sword, odd since in ds3 there were like 4 or 5. I imagine we'll get a group of knights in the dlc that use only heavy stuff like Greataxe/sword black knights

I believe crouching and jumping should both leave you open to instability dmg. Crouch/jump spam need risk/reward rebalancing and I don’t think crouching attacks should have hyper armor either… unless you think spears should do double damage and get the same speed/hyper armor as collosal pokes?
Not too bad of a farming spot in Giant-Conquering Hero's Grave. I had 212 Discovery while farming and I got it on the 10th Watchdog. Just keep at it everyone!

Not saying these weapons are bad, but in terms of PVE they're nowhere near as good as the Ultra Greatswords in the previous games, particularly back in Ds 1 and 2 where they were some of the strongest weapons in the game if you could get used to the timing, Their movesets and damage in this game is so nerfed compared to Ds1 and 2
Ancient Ore Meteoric Greatsword is still listed incorrectly on this page. It requires 35 STR, 10 Dex, and 19 ARC. It doesn't require INT.
