Knight’s Greatsword Guide
The Knight’s Greatsword is one of the many Greatswords found in Elden Ring. It scales with Strength and Dexterity and is a drop from most of the Knight class enemies found in Elden Ring. It shares its fairly unique moveset with the Banished Knight Greatsword and Inseparable Sword. It’s also the second longest of all Greatswords.
Greatsword bestowed upon skilled swordsmen in the demigods’ service, and yet had no rank or title.
Featuring a long grip enabling a dual-handed use, this weapon was designed to dispatch larger foes. Being charged with such a duty was undoubtedly a great honor.
