Fume Ultra Greatsword is a Weapon in Dark Souls 3.
This twisted sword, the heaviest of all ultra greatswords, resembles black slate.
This weapon, said to belong to a traitor from long ago, was so heavy that it found no owner, and became a forgotten relic of history.
Skill: Stomp
Use one's weight to lunge forward with a low stance and increased poise, and follow with a crushing strong attack.
Notes and Tips:
- Can be Buffed but can't be Infused.
- Reinforced with Twinkling Titanite.
- The Fume Ultra Greatsword has a range of 40.1375xl on the 1h R1, and 43.4823xl on the 2h R1.
- The heaviest Ultra Greatsword in the game.
- Patch 1.03 nerfed base damage. At +5 the base damage was reduced from 330 to 260.
- At +5 with 66 STR, it has 647 AR while being two-handed.
- Blocks attacks during Stomp. Each blocked attack will drain stamina as if blocking normally, but wont ever be guard broken.
- Can serve as a pseudo-shield when blocking, with passable damage reduction and stability; although the lack of 100% physical absorption does limit its uses. A good idea to offset the chip damage from blocking would be to stack some HP regeneration.
- Exclusively deals Strike damage, as the weapon has no point.
- Has a higher poise health value than other Ultra Greatswords. While all the other Ultra Greatswords have a poise health value of 27.3, the FUGS has 30.8 poise health. This means you can have 39.3 poise to tank through other Ultra Greatswords instead of 45.9. The higher poise health also applies to the Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords.
- In comparison to the Heavy-infused Greatsword: the Fume Ultra Greatsword has larger range, Great Hammer poise health, Higher resulting damage (despite its ~30 lower AR, it deals Strike damage and most armors have lower strike absorption), the Weapon Art stomp R2 has more range, has enough stability and absorption to be a working shield against non-large weapons while two handed, and has a superior moveset with its rolling r1 poke and r2 poke. On the downside the Fume Ultra Greatsword weighs more (about 15 points in vitality), costs more stamina to attack with, and has lower AR so may end up doing less damage against some armor setups.
Location/Where to Find
- Dropped by Knight Slayer Tsorig underneath the Smoldering Lake. He can be found beyond the areas with the rats and the basilisks, but before the exit that goes up to the ballista. Go to the left of the stairs to the exit and you will find him in front of a pool of lava. A good strategy to take him out is to use a heavy hammer to knock him down so he can't attack you.
Trivia
- Main weapon of Raime, the Fume Knight from Dark Souls II.

The weight is the problem not the damage. FUGS has good damage. But the Cathedral GS has also strike damage, is lighter has the same R1s and R2 moves while you can still wear a heavy armor. Try it out you will love it.

they really didn’t need to make everything good from DS2 pointless in this game. Drakeblood GS turned into a wet noodle, FUGS nerfed into a solid if unexceptionable weapon, Spotted Whip is now completely pointless with new poison, etc. it’s tragic.

Remember when this bad boi required 40 str and 30 dex? I don't miss ds2.

The 2hR2 makes no sense. Thrusting with an unthrustable weapon? At least give it a wide sweep in the 2h moveset

It's such a bummer that this thing is obtained later than the GUGS, but it has lower AR for some reason :(
Still, you can pancake people with it (plus it can be buffed), so I like it just as much as the GUGS

Probably has one of the best variants of the stomp weapon art, if no the best variant of it,
If you time it right it completely negates the damage of a fair few enemy attacks allowing you to either combo into an R1 or R2 and pancake them

I ran an armor optimizer for a typical 125 dark build, and I'm sure it's a loadout you've seen before if you've played PVP: Lapp's helm, Millwood armor, Black Knight gauntlets and Black Iron leggings. Physical absorption w/ prisoner's chain comes out to 32.047, strike is only 23.986. At 66 Str, Heavy Greatsword has an AR of 676, while FUGS has 648. But after subtracting defense and reducing the result by the absorption %, a Heavy Greatsword will have an AR of about 357.68, while FUGS will have 378.48. So don't sleep on damage types, they do matter.

For a while I've been wanting to re download DS3 in offline mode so I can play without any patches. I remember this swords' AR before any patches was like over 800 physical or something crazy like that.

Ah, the Fume. The misunderstood big sword that someone left in the microwave.
Most people compare it directly to the GUGS (that's the ultra greatsword that just called 'Greatsword') but it's not a direct upgrade by any stretch, more of a sidegrade. In exchange for slightly less damage (that comes out to about equal due to FUGS having Strike damage), 5.5 extra units of weight, and being uninfusable, the FUGS offers better poise health (same as a Greathammer, by the way!), a stab for the strong attack instead of a horizontal swing, and a significantly better weapon art that allows you to trade with basically anyone in the game. Seriously, Valorheart wishes its blocking was as solid as the Fume's-- it's entirely viable to block from neutral with this thing because its stability and physical absorption is on par with the best small shields.

The FUGS's stomp does indeed function as a block, however, unlike other stomps, it seems to be in exchange for hyper armor. When I use my LKGS, I can stomp as a reaction to pretty much any attack, poise through it, and then follow through; with the FUGS, if the attack you stomp hits around/behind your block, you get hit and staggered as if you were just standing there.

People dont like it cause it requires pure str. And thats all. No op dark build. No twink material. Just a man and his sword.

Why is Raime's armor not included? It would have made for an epic cosplay

"it deals strike damage, it has cool moveset (bullsht, cathedral knight gs puts this moveset to better use), great reach, s scaling (400 bonus if you get up to 90 strength, wich imo doesn't reward the investment enough), it's buffable, hyper armor, bla bla bla... "
Except for the s scaling, ledo's greathammer has all of avobe. Including buffing, wich is extra physical damage AND AoE. So i see no reason to get the nerfed fugs over the patchless ledo's
And no, this isn't to sell the greathammer. Nothing bests the twinaxes's dps. Im just tired of unproven facts or half-a$$ed excuses
- Anonymous
The block property of the wa seems counterproductive due to how little stability you have to block with. You can't be guard broken, but no stamina means a free hit for the other guy.
- Anonymous
People keep going on about the moveset being better than Greatsword, but honestly I find GS's 2H R2 sweep much handier than the FUGS's weird, sluggish stab. Still, if you're running Strength, this is a better use for Twinkling Titanite than most. Makes short work of Carthus Catacombs on NG+.

I really wish they didn't nerf this beast. 330 down to 260.. I'm really not sure what they were thinking. A 22% damage nerf?? Let's not talk about yorms great machete with 338 ar and A scaling at +5 or dragonslayer great axe with 364 phy/ 136 lightning coming to a whopping 500 ar at +5. Though both of these weapons have less Scaling they also have less functional problems. Sad times :(

Still the best UGS if you don't count paired greatswords. Sure it gets very slightly outdone in damage by the regular Greatsword, but it makes up for that by having a better moveset, strike damage, better hyperarmor and better range. Don't know why everyone acts like it's garbage now.
- Anonymous
Instead of making up excuses, i just buy ds2 and enjoy the fume ugs at it's peak. In this game ledo's greathammer is better in every single way: it's stronger, swings faster, has similar blocking properties, can be buffed with the weapon art (wich gives aoe capabilities, btw) and also deals strike damage.
There isn't any actual reason to use fugs over ledo's, except for not having the dlc.

It may be a good weapon, but compared to what it was in Ds2, this is butchery

at 66 strength this gets outdamaged by the Greatsword with a heavy infusion, i hate how this got nerfed because now it's one of the heaviest weapons in the game but gets outdamaged by something you can get really early on

The "S" scaling stands for "Sh¡tty" thanks to the base damage nerf. If it doesn't outdamage ledo by default, what's the point of using this over the banhammer?
And stop with the excuses, that only prompts me to put this game below ds2 in terms of balance.
- Anonymous
Does this with blessed weapon (or darkmoon blade) make it obnoxiously shiny? Grossly incandescent, if allow me to say?
It did NOT need a nerf. It was the beefiest ugs, and to counter that it weighed a ton and took up a lot of stamina. Now it’s outdamaged by other ugs and it still has those problems.
Bring back ds2 FUGS.

truthfully, an high-strength build can beneficiate more of this rather than the Greatsword because of his higher strength scaling and the strike damage

According to pro pkcs users (all pkcs users are pro, you cannot deny this), this UGS has "S" scaling which stand for "scrub" because noobs using this UGS got pwned by pro pkcs users all the time.

If it doesn't outdamage ledo's greathammer, it isn't worth it. Just use the default greatsword
This weapon has a super good moveset its really underrated. Good combo with the two hand light attack, dodge attack has a great thrust attack thats amazing for catching your enemy off guard, both heavy attacks have good range and good hitbox and the weapon art is slow and hard to land but when it does land it hits like a truck. This moveset is borderline op and outclasses most of the ultra greatswords on its own. Super good weapon, super underrated.

I would've preferred if they just patched the sword to no longer be enchantable by spells/resins over outright reducing it's base damage to greatsword levels. It just hits too soft without going balls deep into STR. Which even then, it's outclassed if you aren't putting enchantments/resins on it.
- Anonymous
I thought that this thing would be utter trash now, but honestly, after my recent playthrough, this thing is still a beast, despite all the nerfs. Despite being about 40-50 AR lower than most of the other ultra weapons, it still hits just as hard. Possibly because of the strike damage which most enemies are weak to.
