Dark Souls 2 Where to Get Black Knight Greatsword

*When infused: 252 physical dmg/48 elemental dmg and C scaling with chosen element.

Black Knight Greatsword is a weapon inDark Souls 2.

Greatsword wielded by knights who served a lord of light in a long-forgotten age.

Even after their flesh was charred by flame, they remained as strong as ever, and stood watch, challenging visitors to their land.

Acquired From

• Located behind illusory wall after Belfry Sol.
• Rare drop from Kobold enemies at the entrance of Aldia's Keep.

Hints and Tips:

• Despite the clear reference to the Black Knight sword of the first Dark Souls, this weapon bears little resemblance to that weapon.
• When you reach the ledge at the end of Belfry Sol where you can drop back down to the Belfry Sol bonfire there is a hidden wall to the right. There are 2 chests in the room. The sword is in the left chest.
• As of Patch 1.03 this weapon can be buffed with spells.
• One handed moveset is similiar to Claymore, While two handed moveset is same as Thorned Greatsword's two handed light attack, swinging speed is varied by light or strong attack.
• Cannot use resins to buff weapon, however it is buffable with magic.
• Considering the length and damage of this greatsword it's a viable option for STR/DEX fire caster builds, however it uses a sizable chunk of stamina for strong attacks. It can also knock down enemies with lunge attacks.
• Two-handing this weapon alters your stance, allowing the wielder to leverage the weight of their body while striking; however, this greatly reduces the range of this weapon, which may cause inexperienced users to miss swings they expect to hit and leave themselves open to retaliation.
• At Fire +5 with 40 STR/DEX, and 30 INT/FTH the Black Knight Greatsword does 268 + 81 Physical and 115 + 93 Fire Damage (AR 557).
• The stats requirements in Scholar of the First Sin are different; you need 28 STR, 20 DEX, 8 INT (12 INT pre-SOTFS) and 12 FTH.
• Used by Syan Soldiers wielding swords.
