Lore
Greatsword with a broken blade, also known as the Giantslayer for the residual strength of storm that brings giants to their knees.
Yhorm the Giant once held two of these, but gave one to the humans who doubted him, and left the other to a dear friend before facing his fate as a Lord of Cinder.
Skill: Storm King
Assume stance to imbue sword with storm. Most effective when facing giants.
Effect
Availability
- Found on the altar behind Yhorm the Giant.
- Dropped by Siegward of Catarina.
Moveset
Notes
- The weapon's Skill deals massive damage against Yhorm the Giant. Upgrading the weapon does not improve that Skill's bonus damage. Much like how you can defeat Storm King from Demon's Souls with that game's Storm Ruler.
- Despite the description, this weapon has no additional affect against any other giant other than Yhorm the Giant.
- The "dear friend" mentioned in the weapon description most likely refers to Siegward of Catarina.
In other games
- Storm Ruler (Demon's Souls)
