Profaned Greatsword | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Gwyn's sword, but actually quite good.

Submit

reminds me of the sword of goujian

Submit

Profaned Flame and Profaned Flame accessories

Submit

Crackhead theory: is this the original Gwyn’s Great Lord Greatsword? It looks slightly similar, and when Gwyn had the sword it was also on fire. In this line of thinking it can also be inferred that Gwyn’s action was profaned. Orrr I’m just overthinking and this is just a reference to the old chaos of DS2

Submit

I have nothing against this weapon at all, I love it’s unique R2’s, perfect quality weapon, reasonable weight, and sexy design.

I was personally under the impression that the charged R2’s would temporarily buff your weapon regardless for a good amount of time, and that the WA would do that AoE move that the Pontiff uses against you. For a weapon related to the Profaned Flame from one of the most evil characters in Dark Souls, it’s not an entirely bad weapon in its own, but I feel like it could’ve used some more pizazz.

Submit

Surprisingly functional in SL1, even with the low endurance (although I wouldn't use it without prisoner's chain). At +5 it does 410-ish AR, (almost 500, with the WA buff) which is really good, for only 15/10 str/dex. Its long reach mitigates the risk of its slow swing speed, and it's good at stunlocking things to death (or sending them flying). Also very fun.

Submit

Works best two handed at str/dex softcaps around SL 80-90 upgraded to +4.

Submit

The charged R2 does not do more damage after being buffed. It's the exact same.. unless that was wrote before a patch I don't know about or something. Tested it with the summoned knights right next to the Dragon-Kin Mausoleum bonfire..

Submit

This weapon almost kills my profane flame build idea. Quality weapon when the spell is a pyromancy. But I swear, I'll find a way to make a build for this underused piece of lore.

Submit

The discarded final boss's revenge.

Submit

would you recommande this or the LORIAN GREATSWORD ??

Submit

In PVE it feels so good to be able to toss enemies around like rag dolls for once

Submit

can't stop using ot, it's just too damn fun!!

Submit

10/10 would send small helpless enemies into orbit again

Submit

good but its no pkcs

Submit

Cool weapon, but I wish the fire would last longer after using R2

Submit

I love launching people into the air 10/10 weapon would recommend to everyone

Submit

I sell profane and profane accessories

Submit

I use this in invasions at that spot in the painted world where the snow cliff gets destroyed by walking on it, getting a sneaky launch off on other players from below is hilarious

Submit

Best weapon in the game easy

Submit

Basically, what gwyn's sword in ds1 should've been......

Submit

This sh*t hard my niqqa. Tha mf has a lauch and a poke for pvp dominance

Submit

Basically,what great lord great sword from ds1 should've been.........

Submit

If i get the host with the WA, i don't even care if i die.. Space Program Sword has done his job. Btw fav weapon, changed my dex build to quality just tô use it

Submit

Hank Hill's sword of choice.
I wonder if it comes with propane accessories

Submit

My favorite weapon. It's big it's high damage but looks really sophisticated which should as 5 meter tall pope uses it

Submit

Is it just my imagination or is this slightly slower than other ultra greatswords (particularly zweihander?)

Submit

Almost perfect for a Gwyn cosplay build!

Submit

PROPANE GREATSWORD!

Submit

Finally a weapon that deals elemental dmg but doesn't suffers from split dmg. My only nitpick is the extremely high stamina consumption especially during weapon art. Other than that, top tier weapon

Submit

The fuk is this? another useless good for nothing shiitty slow ass UGS? Why would anyone wants to use this sword over pkcs. I mean, it's fire buff is absolute trash, only 50? No wonder nobody brings this to pvp, cuz they'll be obliterated real fast by pkcs users

Submit

Damn, that weapon is an absolute beast. I tried to defeat Nameless King with different weapons, LKSS +10 on quality build, WKGS +5 also quality, DSS +5 to deal faster with dragon... and boom. It took me about 7 tries with that weapon. That sword is devastating when it comes to raw output damage. Also we can stagger bosses preety easily once we learn theirs moveset and find good openings.
But what I love the most about that weapon is that how good it looks with Nameless King set :D I wanted to cosplay Oerstein but that flame over nameless king crown once we use WA is amazing.

Submit

One of the few, if not only weapon in the game that gets really good scaling at 60 STR and DEX.

Submit

My favorite quality weapon. Not as boring as the claymore and still has great moveset and damage.

Submit

By combining 2h R2s and rolling R1s, I use it as a thrusting ultra greatsword. It’s honestly a great moveset for thrusting damage

Submit

great for f***ing halflight in the ass

Submit

Would this work for a gwyn cosplay

Submit

Is there literally any weapon more powerful than this? Even my sharp murakumo isn't as strong

Submit

Used this against Sulyvahn on a quality build. Got him down in 2 minutes, revenge has never tasted better.

Submit

Awesome weapon, the weapon art is more than enough to send most invaders and mobs flying, and the fire buff makes it even more deadly against enemies weak against fire.

Submit

Pros:

1. nice looks, being a ceremonial weapon after all!

2. very good moveset, both horizontal swings and thrust 2hr2s and poke roll atack

3. good damage output 628 AR 40/40 build

4. WA hits like a truck and also buffs the weapon with fire for a short period

5. low enough weight for an UGS

cons:

1. cant be infused, it can be buffed with WA but not with resins/spells

2. quality weapon so more stat investment

Others: a simple, yet deadly weapon. place stats in str and dex 40/40 and use this weapon without worry about buffing it with resins or infuse it. It s very good for area PVE and PVP alike, also a decent option for bosses, especially those weak to fire. A weapon that can carry ashen one in ng 7 without issues. It does excel in moveset/weight/damage ratio, and it s not particulary bad at anything. Enjoy Pontiff weapon!

Submit

Perfect for wandering through cold paintings with!

Submit

On my first playthrough and I ****ing love this thing, you have a Stomp AND a fire effect that does insane damage and knocks over most enemies, it looks cool as hell, haven't done too much PvP but when I get summoned it does well at punishing those guys who start running and panic chugging.

Submit

I wonder how this thing is with 60 str and 60 dex

Submit

How is this for PVE? I'm considering swapping away Yhorm's Great Machete for this monstrosity.

Submit

For low and mid-level duals (As in, lvl 20 and lvl 50ish respectively) this actually outpaces almost every other UGS; or is so close that it doesn't matter. Add in some free fire damage it's pretty darn usable; despite pvp weapon tier lists putting it pretty low.

Remember to unlock against better players, use the weapon art to tank into a hit and deal pretty massive damage, keep a side arm for mixups; I make mine Simple to recharge the WA mana if the pvp is running long.

Submit

i'm in looooove

Submit

Space program owns all other stomps... Show offy fire is just that but love it... Got bored so I only use boss soul weps now.. they favor quality

Submit

Was this orginally a ceremonial sword of Lothric? There is a statue of Prince Lothric holding this sword in the High Wall

Submit

Pontiff's Space Program Machine (this is all could come up with lol, sorry)

Submit

To the person I oneshotted three times in duels with this greatsword... I'm sorry. Please give your character more vigor. He deserves it.

Submit

Is this any good at high SL? I'm deciding whether to use this over lorian's. Lorian's has a***** ton more ar tho.

Submit

This is probably the best or second best Ultra for quality builds. Great scaling and pure physical damage. The buff is just icing.

Submit

This sword trashes everything in the game

Submit

Propane greatsword

Submit

perfect for a lord gwyn build!

Submit

This thing s l a p s. NG+, clapped Dragonslayer, the Twin Princes, Friede, Gundyr, and every mob in between so far, and looking forward to the journey ahead. How did I not start using this earlier??

Submit

I think the charged r2 buff and the wa buff stacks. Can anyone confirm this?

Submit

Stun-lock City

Submit

AR is very close to the black knight UGS, but lighter and self buffs

Submit

I just got parried while 2handing this! Dafuq! D:<

Submit

40/40 has 628 + 80 when buffed with WA

Submit

How well does it perform on a Strength build (60/12)?

Submit

Propane GS is an absolute beauty. Remember I used to hate it ages ago when DS3 came out... I have seen the error of my ways. Hands down my favourite weapon for SL10 invasions in High Wall of Twinks. Pitchfork with Thrall Axe and Iron Round Shield swap and basic rings for genuine lowbies, Propane GS with Dank Hand and Iron Shield swap and end game rings for all the Havels and Dragon Slayers who think they're gud.

Submit

you can actually wield this weapon at SL1 if you've picked up the knight ring. unfortunately one swing consumes about 70% of your stamina :(

Submit

My favorite weapon in the entire game, I don't know why but I love it.

Submit

Does anyone want to trade this sword for an items or something else

Submit

I like pvp with this piece of mastery, 2 shots ppl everytime, this WA can be delayed a lil to make it harder for dodgers

Submit

I love it... 10/10

Submit

This thing is my go to invader spanker. Most of em dont know the dodge timing on the WA, and then panic like hell when it lands. 10/10 would transfuse again

Submit

I used the zweihander with carthus flame arc and absolutely demolished Sulyvahn. After I got this sword, I could finally become the badass flame swordsman I wanted to be without having to use pyromancies. 10/10 would transfuse again.

Submit

lol im patokia now

Submit

STR:28, DEX:40 = 608 AR , 2-handed, pure physical damage. moveset same as Lorian and LKGS. This is one of my favour UGS

Submit

I straight up annihilated Pontiff, Aldrich, and the Dancer with this sword. Its weapon art is absolutely devastating

Submit

This weapon is what Gwyn's Greatsword SHOULD have been. Sure the scaling barely improves at +5 but it has a similar look and it has a innate fire buff. It's almost everything we wanted. For me though it would be perfect if it scaled with strength and faith and even without the innate buff it did fire damage alongside physical damage. It would have B scaling in Strength and C Scaling in faith.

Submit

Propane greatsword

Submit

This is Tarkus' real weapon, Greatsword is a fake animu version.

Submit

709 physical ar with 66 str and 99 dex unbuffed. Highest one stat ar in game together with bkgs excluding the bk axe. Makes bosses a joke. The weapon art can hyper armor any gael's attack.

Submit

Even if this weapon was really bad (which it isn't), I would still probably use it because it looks freaking amazing!

Submit

One of the worst Ultra Greatswords.Pouring 40-50 points into str and dex gives you a disappointingly low ar compared to other ultra gs.Offically a waste of points

Submit

A ceremoinal sword(!) REPRESENTING the Profaned Flame. That means he forged this weapon and that it is not the "Profaned Flame" he found. Only a tool to cast the flame on it.

Submit

Best UGS in the game for quality builds.

Submit

While two handing, it only requires 15 STR.

Submit

I'd say this is Dark Souls 3's own bass cannon. Insane AR and a fire buff to boot.

Submit

Did it got buffed in terms of damage?

Submit

The blade of the weapon strongly resembles an elven swords blade in Skyrim imo

Submit

If only you can dual wield this with Sulyvahn’s other sword.

Submit

this UGS is my favorite in terms of fashion souls, the Astora UGS too. And to me a weapon in terms of fashion souls is really important

Submit

This is the only UGS i like aswell as the Zweihander. All other feel like weeb weapons.

Submit

Can anyone confirm if the WA scales with Faith/ Int, making it viable for a pyromancer?

Submit

SEND THEM FLYING WITH FIRE

Submit

I took on a Friggin Nameless King For Crying Out Loud and U Now Exactly What I'm Going To Say...

Submit

same moveset as black knight greatsword and i ended with same exact AR on both of 709

Submit

The Propaned Greatsword.

Submit

I would like to think this is Gwynn's Great Lord Greatsword reforged in the Profaned Flame by the Pontiff after his coupe against Gwyndolin. Given the resemblance to the Great Lord Sword, which is only differentiated by the hilt, which is often easily replaced over centuries, that's how I'm going to interpret it. After all, what was it before it became Profaned, since Profaned implies at one time it was NOT a Profaned/Defiled/Desecrated Great Sword, but one with sacred and reverential meaning? What other great sword would command reverence in Anor Londo? There is no better symbol for a New Order and Authority than taking the sacred weapon and symbol of the former Great Lord Gwynn and, like Gwyndolin's body being devoured and corrupted by Aldrich, remaking it in your own image. All the evidence I have is the location, Pontiff's campaign to corrupt/supplant/usurp/destroy Gwynn's family and former seat of power, and the implication that it could not be Profaned if it had not been sacred and treated as inviolate before hand. And only one weapon in the series would make a sensible candidate for such treatment: The Great Lord Greatsword. Which is, all in all, a weapon I quite liked, though not a winner for PVP purposes.

Then again, given how out of whack the Profaned flame is with everything in terms of Lore, take it as you like.

Submit

In the High Walls of Lothric near the Dancer bonfire, a winged knight is patrolling a statue holding the Profaned Greatsword. The statue might represent Pontiff Sulyvahn.

Submit

Don't get the love for this one. It dosn't have a fun or varied moveset.

Submit

Honestly the only UGS I use....I can't stand UGS but this one, I love it.

Submit

This is my new favorite. I actually launched Sister Friede with this thing's weapon art today. Pairs well with the ethereal oak shield.

Submit

but is it better than The Dark Sword???

jks, this one-shot R2 Fire fling them up in the air move is real fun diddly fun.
