Exile Greatsword | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Shrek sword

Submit

Maidenless weapon if you use it in pvp. Always fun killing scrubs carrying this weapon cause they can't rollcatch or play against someone who can actually parry to save their lives.

Submit

No ****ing shot this gets S scaling in faith / int with those infusions.

Submit

It upgrades with titanite shards

Submit

"Upgrade with Titanite"... Thank you wiki, that was so helpfull

Submit

Pair this with 40 STR, heavy infused, 40 INT, and Great Heavy Magic Weapon;
And dear god, this damage is so easily obtainable early game it’s not even fair for the bosses

Submit

This was the weapon that carried me through the whole game in my first playthrough and for that it will always stay being my favorite (plus it looks badass and the moveset is sick).

Submit

Chaos or Dark Exhile Greatsword in right hand with Lothric War Banner in left while wearing sword and chaos/dark clutch rings with 24 Strength 16 Dex 30 Intelligence and 30 Faith makes this a nasty 967 one handed blender of death. Also 17 endurance with ring of favor gets you 5 slashes.

Very fun for glass canon enthusiasts.

This might be the single strongest Blesses Weapon in the game, as long as you're still investing a bit in strength.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Submit

This is the best Curved Greatsword in Dark Souls 3. Nothing really flashy about it, but it hits like an absolute truck on a pure strength build and is viable with most infusions as long as you meet the minimum stats. I remember this used to be absolutely broken on release as an R1 would combo into the full weapon skill. I would invade in Farron and get a combo off and kill everyone, the 1st Vigor check of Dark Souls 3. Overall, this weapon just feels like home when I use it.

This thing is crazy. Invading in Farron as a watchdog and I keep getting matched with the same guy using it. I can dodge most of his attacks, but I get hit once or twice? Game over. Man is just built different I guess

Submit

Made the switch from the now-terrible GUGS to this until I got the stats to effectively use the FUGS, and I haven't looked back

Submit

Helps if you do a strength build for most of the bosses

Submit

R1 to jump attack is true combo. Does around 1050 damage most of the time.

Submit

what does it scale with?

Submit

Dark infused Exile seriously destroys Friede on NG+.
2, or 3 decent spankings and she is toast... oh wait, she came back, this spanks the old man until she falls over again... oh wait, she came back, hey Friede have some Chaos Bed Vestiges then, sleep well.

Submit

The unga bunga sword.

The Professional Unga Bunga Sword.

Submit

Definitely favourite weapon. Hits hard, relatively speedy and wide swongs, but it also requires some skill. Range is quite short, and animations are long. All in all, very good weapon. Stagger for life.

Submit

In my opinion this is the strongest dark weapon in the game 926 ar at 60 faith 60 intelligence 50 dex and 66 strength

Submit

best physical infusion?

Submit

I like to think I'm fairly decent at pvp. I've taken down murky quickstepping pontiff survival hosts, estus canceling ringed city ganks, duel arena PKCS tryhards, you name it. But I hate this thing. I cannot beat an Exile CGS. It just rollcatches me no matter how unpredictable I try to be. Heavy, dark, whatever infusion they have it just rips out like 800 hp a hit. I truly don't get why it's not more popular, but I'm thankful.

Submit

This things scaling is unreal. Literally almost everything gets to A or S. I keep 3 of these bad bois with me for different infusions.

Submit

is sharp or heavy better for AR?

Submit

you should edit the scaling with heavy, at this right moment i have it heavy +4 and it's already at A scaling

Submit

I am the best pvp player alive, I laugh at all the scrub advice in these forums

Submit

Trying this on a 60 FTH 16STR build and it has a really good damage, try blessed
it has S scaling for blessing but not for lighthing for some reason, it's not the best infusion but pair it with a blessed caestus, sun princess ring and bountiful sunlight and you have a nice little regen build with a weapon that does good damage

Submit

Was trying out a bleed build, and noticed this for some reason gets a boost with blood infused. It is actually better than the carthus greatsword which has an inate 36 bleed, it does more damage and has the same bleed when infused with blood gem despite not having inate bleed like the carthus greatsword.

Submit

Am I the only one who thinks this is cooler looking than Harold's sword

Submit

Guys, the reason for this weapon to deal such damage is simple: it's slash damage, and no one wears armor because is practically
useless.

Submit

What happened to all the comments??

Submit

dark +10 actually has A scaling in intelligence and faith

Submit

Bruh someone killed me with this thing from 2 whole sword lengths away of THEIR SWORD. Does lag really break the game that badly? Why tf do people take pvp so seriously in that case? This game’s pvp sucks balls

Submit

I'm surprised how this weapon still retains a decent strength scaling even after for eg. simple or dark infusion

Submit

This weapon does not get enough flack for the ultimate broken, try-hard weapon that it is. People always rip on the Lothric Knight Straight Sword, but this weapon is 10x more overpowered. While it is widely used, fortunately it's not as popular as some straight swords. In that way, I guess I'm glad it doesn't get as much hate as it deserves. Then try-hards would flock to it.

Submit

Fromsoft. We need to talk about your concept of balancing...

Submit

I see this weapon all the time. It's a good weapon, even if it's rather ugly and simplistic looking.
It's such a good weapon that everyone and their mother uses it, and seldom with much effect. I see gankers use it more than the theoretical spankers do. I've personally fought it so often that I have memorized the moveset even despite never touching it myself. Thus when I see it I know what to do, and I win more often as a result.
Clearly despite being a staple of the meta since this games earliest days it's deceptively hard to master. plenty of people have outplayed me using the exile curved sword, but so many more haven't.
In conclusion it's a easy to use meta weapon for casual and aspiring players, but considering it's ubiquity I would pick up something else.

Submit

Charged r2 + jumping r2: mostly death. The hard part is landing the charged r2 but oh boy, that secures a kill too many times.

Submit

I was avoiding this until Wolnir (drang hammers 4 lyf) and I wanted to shake stuff up and try some more things.

Pretty flashy, versatile in different move types, fast and hard hitting even unupgraded. This is pretty lit

The shhitier version of pkcs, use this at your own risk of getting owned by pkcs players

Best upgrade path for this unit of a weapon?

Submit

This is terribly misleading. With a sharp infusion, the scaling is C in Str and C in dex. It is not D and A, like this uninformed page says

Submit

Imo, I think this is the best weapon for a strength/sorcery build, S scaling in int and B scaling in strength,

Submit

The best gank-spanking weapon in the game in this hollow's humble opinion

Submit

Refined > Sharp?

Submit

oh dear

Submit

It's actually an S scaling in strength at +9

Submit

Not that bad compared to the PKCS, its just a slower PKCS tbh. Still kind of trash though

Submit

This weapon is overpowered late game this is what I do: be SL231 have 45 in str dex int and faith infuse the weapon with chaos and do this combo(TWO HANDED R1 R1 jumping R2) in arena battles this one shots almost everyone

Submit

Rocking pve? Stunlocking friede? Dealing amazing dps without any buffs or low range dual wield bullshit? Asking urself why everybody says dark souls is hard but somehow it isnt? Then u are using this weapon and congrats to you for that choice. Its not even bad in pvp too.

Submit

this weapon weirdly get's a much much higher poison buildup then every other curved greatsword when given a poison gem

Submit

I'm a noob and this is my favourite weapon, what's up?

Submit

kebab

Submit

what's the best gem for this weapon? refined?

Submit

Exile Buffer detected. I’m going to fkn kill myself!

Submit

This weapon deals insane amount of critical damage. At 66 STR it deals 125 more damage than Ledo's even though Ledo has higher AR. Weird.

Submit

This is a go to weapon in any aspect of the game for 1. Its ability to hit hard. 2. Its fast for a greatsword and doesnt take as much stamina to swing, so u can hit 3 times and still block. 3. Its enchantable and infusable. 4. It has A scaling on STR once its infused with a heavy gem. So a Heavy Exile Greatsword +10 with 60 STR and using carthus flame arc with a +10 pyromancy I hit 733 all day.

Submit

So I tested a Heavy exile greatsword 10+ with gold pine resine and 57 str and i killed Soul of Cinder with 27 attacks, then I went to the Nameless King, with gold pine resine, i killed the dragon with 11 hits, and with carthus flame ark with a +4 pyroflame with 10 int and 12 faith I killed the NK with 18 hits, this weapon is OP. (I didnt use any R2 or WA, only R1)

Submit

This or Harald curved greatsword to infuse chaos with?

Submit

+10 Heavy w/ 60 str you hit 1250s with a charged R2
