Description

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇯🇵🇨🇳🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹🇵🇱🇧🇷🇷🇺🇪🇸🇹🇭🇹🇼

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.

人が振るい得る最大の剣
その名の通り両手持ちの武器であるが
両手でさえ、尋常な筋力では扱えない

長い刃は重く鋭く、叩きつけ敵を吹き飛ばす他に
深く貫く刺突攻撃も可能となる

人类能挥舞的最大把的剑。
正如其名，是需要以双手共持的武器，
但即使以共持挥舞，都要具备非凡的力气。

剑身长而重，剑锋锋利，除了敲飞敌人外，
也能使出贯穿敌人的突刺攻击。

Das größte Schwert, das ein Mensch führen kann.

Ist für den beidhändigen Einsatz gedacht, doch wer nur durchschnittlich stark ist, dem dürfte selbst das schwerfallen.
Ausladende Angriffe mit der langen und schweren Klinge lassen Gegner rückwärts taumeln. Sie ist aber auch scharf genug für tödliche Stoßangriffe.

Sans doute la plus grande épée qu'il soit humainement possible de manier.
Cette arme se manie à deux mains, d'où son nom, mais elle n'en requiert pas moins une force colossale.

Avec sa lame longue, lourde et acérée, ses attaques de taille font valser les ennemis et ses coups d'estoc percent presque tout.

La più lunga spada mai brandita da un essere umano.
Come suggerisce il nome, è un'arma da impugnare a due mani, a condizione di possedere una forza fuori dal comune.

La lama lunga e affilata consente di travolgere i nemici con fendenti ad ampio raggio oppure di trafiggerli con affondi devastanti.

Chyba największy miecz, jakim może władać zwykły człowiek.
Zgodnie z nazwą, używa się go dwiema rękami, choć ci
o przeciętnej sile mogą mieć z tym trudności.

Długa klinga jest ciężka i ostra. Zamaszyste ciosy potrafią odrzucić wrogów, ale bronią tą można również wykonywać straszliwe pchnięcia.

Praticamente a maior espada que pode ser brandida por um mero homem. Mesmo sendo feita para duas mãos, aqueles com uma força meramente comum terão dificuldades para empunhá-la.

A lâmina é pesada e afiada. Ela faz inimigos cambalearem para trás com seus golpes mais amplos, mas também é capaz de estocadas perfurantes devastadoras.

Один из самых больших мечей, какие только может поднять
человек. Как следует из названия, такое оружие нужно
держать двумя руками, но далеко не каждому это под силу.

Мощные удары тяжёлого и острого длинного клинка
отбрасывают врагов назад, а колющие выпады наносят
сокрушительный урон.

La espada más grande que un hombre es capaz de blandir.

Como su nombre sugiere, esta arma está diseñada para empuñarse con ambas manos, pero será una odisea para aquellos de fuerza mediocre.
La larga hoja es grande, afilada y hace retroceder a los enemigos con sus amplios golpes, a la vez que
también puede ejecutar una embestida punzante devastadora.

ดาบใหญ่ที่สุดที่มนุษย์กวัดแกว่งได้
เป็นอาวุธถือสองมือตรงตามชื่อ
แต่หากแข็งแกร่งไม่มากพอ แม้ใช้สองมือก็ไม่อาจถือไหว

ใบดาบคม ยาวและหนัก ไม่เพียงแต่ฟาดศัตรูกระเด็น
แต่ยังแทงทะลวงได้ลึกอีกด้วย

人類能揮舞的最大把的劍。
正如其名，是需要以雙手共持的武器，
但即使以共持揮舞，都要具備非凡的力氣。

劍身長而重，劍鋒鋒利，除了敲飛敵人外，
也能使出貫穿敵人的突刺攻擊。

Acquisition

Purchase: Weeping Peninsula

• One is sold for 3,500 Runes by the Isolated Merchant at the Isolated Merchant's Shack at the westernmost point of the Peninsula.

Notes

• 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 , Fire Knight's Greatsword , Moonrithyll's Knight Sword , and Troll Knight's Sword.
  • This gives the weapon the versatility of having a thrust attack besides the crouching light attack.
• Lightest Colossal Sword in the game.
  • This makes this weapon useful for dual-wielding.
• The third longest Colossal Sword, after the Greatsword and the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
• Leans towards Dexterity for Cold and Blood/Poison affinities.
• The Vagabond origin can wield this weapon two-handed without any additional levels.
  • For other origins and two-handing this weapon, Heroes need 2 more points in Dexterity and Confessors and Samurai need 1 more point in Strength.
• Due to the relatively low wielding requirements and weight, this weapon is the infusable Colossal Sword that is most easily used for build that want to use non-Heavy, non-Fire Affinities.
  • It's also still fairly useful for those wishing to use either of those two Affinities, as the aforementioned advantages and early accessibility means that stat points can be focused on increasing other stats such as Vigor for more HP and Endurance for better armor, until the higher Attack Power of other Colossal Swords become more advantageous.
• Low overall Attack Power on most non-Dexterity Affinities.
