this is probably the easiest weapon to use for people who wanna see big numbers in two r1's, i love it. On a dark build, this thing can 3-4 shot most players, literally all you have to do is land two r1r1's on anyone before they can estus and you win. Its stupid but i love it.

believe it or not, there are hollows that exist out there who not only believe this weapon is garbage, but that all greatswords curved and straight are BAD

don't listen to them, this is EASILY one of the strongest weapons in the game - and it's fun

I wonder how fast you could proc bleed with this thing's WA and a blood infusion

Submit

I'm a huge sucker for curved greatswords in general, they're all so damn cool and fun to use.
And every single one of their AR's is ****ing terrifying on a 40/40/40 STR/DEX/LUCK Hollow build.
This bad boy included, infuse with heavy if you're pure STR, but consider Hallow!
Sever them toes!!

The wa attacks are just as fast as curved swords's 2h r1, but slightly stronger and up to 4 hits can be connect with it + hyperarmor. When true comboed with the first r1, only 3 hits connect.

If this doesn't demonstrate you how flawed this poise system is, nothing will ever open your eyes.

L2+hold R2 to chop toes of those quick stepping casuals dancing around you.

Its funny how the R1 spam roll catches as a regular moveset. Makes sense since those fatbois be roll catching for days.

Submit

Thats a nice long health bar you got there…. Would be a shame if someone were to delete it in one WA..

Submit

best weapon ig! better than lkss and pkcs (both are so bad (duh)) imagine using a bad tiny sword to attempt to kill gankers and then rage cuz u got killed by them and lied to by ur friend that said that the sword u were using was a 'good' sword. we all know that the harald curved greatsword is the best in terms of range and damage! anyways if u don't use this sword then i can only suggest one thing! GIT GUD! however if you are using this godly weapon i praise you and the sun!

infuse heavy + oath of sunlight + sunlight blade = delete hosts

Chinese Chef Cleaver WA

Submit

Essentially a pay-to-win WA

Submit

Lets make a WA that starts fast, has hyper armor, and combos into a final hit that'll take half of most peoples hp. And to top it off, give it the already wonky hitboxes of a curved greatsword. I feel like Memezaki designed this monstrosity for his personal use to rekt scrubs, but it got placed in the game by accident.

Submit

this weapon is kinda painful to fight against, somehow it completely destroys my puny quality build in 2 combos or 3-4 slashes

Submit

Ok who edits this page? It shows in greatsword category here but in normal (all) weapons page it shows in curved greatswords.

Submit

Use frozen weapon on this and you have pkcs's big brother.

You only use it because you're just a tryhard who doesn't want to admit by using pkcs

The only reason this weapon is good at roll catching it because it has a ****ed up hotbox good damage but requires no skill what so ever in pvp 4/10

The scaling for Blessed is wrong on here, mine can get an S scaling for faith while only at +9.

Stupid ass weapon art

Most of the curved Greatswords are already solid weapons, but Harald has some strange properties that make it extremely powerful.

Right off the bat, it's a weapon that is not only great for Strength, but also scales well with Dark when infused, even though the weapon doesn't give much indication that it should so well with a Dark build. While its AR is slightly outpaced by other curved swords, and a twinge slower, it also has slightly higher range which is fantastic for clipping enemies that would normally be out of reach for the other swords.

Yet the weapon's big surprise is that weapon art: it has crazy strong armor frames making you difficult to stagger, and a true combo that can slam enemies for well over 1k damage if executed properly from start to finish. Now, the start of the weapon art is fairly short-range compared to the rest of the weapon, so you're not looking to spam this move - it's a one-time punish against a PvP opponent who chooses to attack at the wrong time, not something you just use whenever you can, but if you can hit it, you can definitely spank a gank.

It is a great curved greatsword with good damage and S strength scaling with heavy gem it is also good for roll catching and on top of that it looks cool i highly reccomend it for NG+ or a late game strength build you can't go wrong with this weapon

Submit

The second 1handed r2 is the light curved sword's attack from cs like carthus's

Submit

People roll catch gud wid dis wepon. Me don't );

Submit

shouldve made one of the 1 hand R2 attacks the uppercut slash that the Haralds' do

Submit

im doing a STR/DEX build, and is the Heavy infusion any good with that fat S bonus? or is Sharp/Refined just better in general?

Submit

Roll spammers beware, this weapon will mess you up

Submit

I'm surprised at the lack of info on this page, despite the fact this is easily one of the most used weapons in the game.

Submit

So yup the best weapon for a dark infusion and even outclasses the exile curved sword. Keep this a secret from the tryhards at least we can still backstab them when they’re using the paired meme swords

Submit

I jumped on ds3 after 4yrs off and got 2x running R1's to the face for death.. I had 1500hp. Time for me to try the ringed city dlc. If you can't beat em, join em

Submit

the weapon art was originally used for pizza

Submit

Just a perfect weapon for Orphan of Kos cosplay!

Submit

If you dark infuse this and use the weapon art+jump as your main tactic in pvp, then you have my deepest respect.

Submit

I know alotta people love the WA on this thing but I just wish it was better in Pvp, I still use it over the exile for range but spin slash would make this a BEAST

Submit

Hey guys, Miyazaki here! Hope you dont mind 1300 damage delt with a 3 hit pseudo combo dark build!

Submit

This weapon has a slower attack speed than other CGS such as the exile but the hilarious thing is that it’s speed is perfect at roll catching. A 3rd R1 is automatically timed perfectly and if someone rolls to your side they will take 4 swings.

Just noticed the golden lion head decoration on this weapon s handle. Is it a reference to vengarl and/or his beasthood?
