Acquisition

Loot: Ruined Forge Starfall Past ^{(Scadu Altus)}

• Obtained upon examining the altar of the dungeon.
  • The altar is found on the second level of the dungeon. To reach it, you must pull the lever to make the iron door rise, and use it as a platform to jump across to the second level where the altar is.

Notes

• The Arcane-scaling applies to both the Physical and Magic Attack Power.
• Has unique one- and two-handed heavy attacks and charged heavy attacks, where the first attack in each two-attack chain is replaced by a thrust. This trait is shared with the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword , Moonrithyll's Knight Sword , Troll Knight's Sword, and Zweihander.
  • This gives the weapon the versatility of having a thrust attack besides the crouching light attack.
• Makes great use of the Spear Talisman since its moveset consist of many trusting attacks, including its Unique Skill.
  • Do note that the Talisman isn't quite effective as it can be since it only applies to Pierce (i.e Physical) Attack Power, but since that's still usually about 82-86% (depending on Attribute allocation) of the weapon's total Attack Power it's still quite effective.
• Effectively scales about equally well with both Strength and Arcane due to the latter's scaling applying to both damage types. Even a pure Arcane build can use this weapon quite well, though the minimum 35 Strength to wield it (only 24 Strength if two-handed) can make it difficult to fit on such a build.
  • To compare: 80 Strength and 19 Arcane (minimum requirement) grants 860 Attack Power (AP) (898 AP if two-handed), 45 Strength and 45 Arcane grants 837 AP (905 AP if two-handed), and 24 Strength (effectively 36 Strength due to the two-handing Strength boost) and 80 Arcane grants 868 AP.
  • The skill scales entirely with the weapon's Attack Power, so Attribute allocation isn't particularly important for using it either.
• This is the longest Colossal Sword.

Upgrading

• Upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones.
