Didn't think people would even stumble on this video so I didn't bother to clarify from the start : this was just me having a bit of fun trying out the weapon, not a showcase of the weapon true potential or something like that. I was using suboptimal stats - something like 22 dex/ 40 str/ 60 fth - but from what I've read on the fextra wiki the weapons scales primarly with dex.

There are some comments from nice people explaining which buffs should be used with this weapon, I recommended checking it out. I also wasn't using the best talismans damage wise (except maybe radagon's soreseal), which if I had to guess would be something like fire scorpion charm or alexander shard.

The buffs that stack to give this weapon a major dp is the vow buff, flame give strength buff, and the physick that give you more damage with the fire affinity. It's beast of a weapon with these buffs
Blasphemy I find is way better for this. It weighs less, does more damage per strike on the Ashe of war, uses less fp, and heals u you. I can easily get up to 2500 dmg to 3k really easy on this build. Fire scorpion charm also adds to this Having a shield charm to take reduced damage while ur full hp also fits really well into this build, especially with the erdtree Heal over time spell.
@@epicboyfive I been using godslayer urs actually really good no matter even without buffs I do 2700 damage with a the lowest requirement but your normal and charged attacks are weaker than greatswords
Yeah the moveset is the best thing about this sword cuz the ash of war suck af, it casts for 1000 years and is very easy to stop by poise break from any bigger enemy, it could just cover the sword with the black flame that deals higher damage and over time, it could work like with HELPHEN'S STEEPLE if you ask me ;d
@@marclenraymagdaraog691 I used a grand total of 4 buffs (so much !!!), the only 2 offensive buffs used are golden vow and +10 fth from flask. The other two are blessing of the erdtree and dragonbolt blessing, both doing absolutely nothing to increase my damage. I was just having fun playing like a dumbass while trying out a weapon I think looks cool, my build wasn't tailored to use this weapon and I doubt it was even fully upgraded when I made the video so of course anyone with a half decent build would be able to do more damage.
I remember using this weapon on my first playthrough. Upgraded it to +6 and carried me until I came to Nokron with 2 crucible knights. Then I realized, this weapon, if ranked. Is actually B - S tier, depending on how you build around it. Slow weapon, they did not even add the damage tick per second when damaging an enemy with a normal attack even though the enemy is burning with black flame particles. High burst, but only works if you are tanky enough to land two hits. Against a crucible knight, the weapon wind up will punish you harder than you damaging them. However, it is probably the most effective boss killing weapon next to blood types if built properly. Flame grant me strength, Fire Charm, Alexander Shard, Fire buff physick and the overpowered Iron skin perfume. This weapon will turn you into a literal boss, if only for a minute.
Yeah, sadly no, you can get better results on faith or strength build just by slapping black flame tornado on polearm or twinblades, has the same stagger, takes similar time, but deals multiple hits which with black flame properties is much better...
Malikeths black blade +10 is great for boss fights especially elden beast if he gives you trouble. Also nice for taking out dragons and other tough enemies but for pvp I'd say its much too slow to be viable.
Ironjar aromatic is not OP, it gives its users an extreme weakness to lightning. Anyone using it can be one shot by a simple lightning spell, and being they cant evade efficiently, makes for an easy target.
The moveset is fast and awesome for it class , tbh this weapon doesnt even need wa to be good , this wa indeed slow but if used right is hell for anything got hit by it , even out dmg starscouger sword full wa ! This wa actually have 3 stage of dmg , 3rd attack can pull out immedialy or delay a bit , the first fast attack animation can deal low dmg and good stagger if connect , used it at advantage for people or small enemy and timing 2nd or 3rd attack again bigger enemy , it so underrated weapon
@@nikoc.280 I mean this wa has 3 attack dmg with the first dmg come from the hand swing when the flame not come out yet , it has low dmg and fast but good stagger for small enemy , other two attack dmg are 2 swing with black flame that deal shit ton of dmg
And this wa hyper armor is one of the highest in the game , used it with good poise armor and u will trade very good again many people , trade dmg with this baby mean DEAD ha ha 😆
@@bakapi2866 That is false lmao this weapon has not one of the highest hyper armor.. idk what stuff you ate but Hyperarmor on this weapon is only at the slash. basically end of the first slash making it terrible WA. 1. slow 2. Not long enough Hyperarmor. It's a collosal weapon and if you find other Collossal weapon with Faith scale (Maliketh's) You see what Hyper armor really means. You can also check the end game hammer used by radagon that is the definition of HIGHEST hYPER ARMOR. You literally don't get staggered by anything the moment you cast the spell.
You can just spam lightning spears at him until he dies. He can't dodge that incantation for some reason and his dragonbolt blessing means he takes a ton of damage from it.
This guy deals ridiculous damage, it was such a pain on a melee character because he can easily two-shot you, so you have to be careful. The weapon that helped me the most was the Golden Halberd, as I didn’t have to get so close to him (or tank with ultras) to hit him, I just did running R1s and R2s and he couldn’t even hit me.
Most human-sized enemies can be jump-staggered. Waves of Destruction in the Ruins Greatsword is a perfect way to do it. It even allows you to make Malenia jump. Not always, her stagger bar is higher than normal.
Godslayer stuff is my favorite thematically, but they just feel so weak in the sense of their special effect of burning%health unless you count beings like the dragon near the fort that doesnt fight back, who has an insane amount of health. The sword buff incantations duration is ridiculous low too. Feels bad using it. I'd prefer if they dealth a lot less damage and dealt a lot more % max health dmg overtime for longer duration.
Only reason I managed to get through ringleader fight was timing this and blowing her away while tanking a couple hits, this beast has carried me through the entire game like a breeze with only the occasional buff Incantation. Was stupid excited to find it
I picked this up a while ago but don't quite meet the faith requirement. After watching gameplay with it I'm thinking about putting a few more points in faith to use it myself
It doesn’t matter what weapon you used . What matters is that you are using the best looking shield in the game . Now , accent that shield properly by using a full set of Cleanrot Armor . Red on Red , FTW .

Edit : Answers to some questions I've seen popping up several times (minor spoilers about items location) :
- The sword can be found by defeating the boss of the divine tower of caelid.
- The shield is the distinguished greatshield which you can buy from a merchant at the hermit merchant's shack, located in the outskirts of the royal capital.

- The boss is Vyke, Knight of the Roundtable, found in the evergaol of the moutaintops of the giants.
- The buff used are :
- +10 fth from flask, I do not remember what the second flask buff was ( +10 dex would have provided more damage in my case)
- Golden vow ( 15% damage increase and 10% damage reduction in PvE)
- Blessing of the Erdtree ( Heals for 12 HP/sec for 90 secs )
- Dragonbolt Blessing ( Increase your resistance to all ailments and make some attacks bounce off of you but decrease your lightning resistance, sadly I had no idea the boss would use this element).

What was your level on this character?
@@thetrueking6137 I do not remember exactly but I think I was around sl 140 for this fight.
You can actually do stagger damage on the wind up of the attack
Damn bless you for all of this explanation
Don't try this at home!
I need a Dogslayer Greatsword to finally beat those magic dogs that hit 30 times in one attack.
*Crows*

All those buffs for a drop of blood
Then again, this amount of buff is child's play compared to people who manage to one shot some bosses stacking a ridiculous amount of buff haha.

Absolutely amazing weapon in pve, have yet to hit someone in pvp sadly but i keep trying
man literally has only like 10 vigor
It reminds me so much of my favorite weapon in DS3, the onyx greatsword. Im ashamed I haven't picked it up yet...
"Look at me look at me, I'm the boss now"
bro just prayed the whole bible before the fight
Feels so nice when you can bully the bosses and they aren’t bullying you 😌
When the player look like the boss, and the boss look like the player
I just call it onyx blade because its like the onyx blade in dark souls 3
*Walks into a room* *Pops 10 buffs* *Doesn't elaborate any further*
the only colossal sword i used for my dex/faith build, and i went the entire game without realizing the weapon art had a follow up swing
The follow up swing do higher damage than first one too
dude went full d&d with the buffs, was expecting him to also pop a Haste

So this is what it’s like watching a boss fight from a boss’s point of view 😮
I don't see this weapon on any Elden ring tier lists but it's fucking amazing
Ngl the flames of that greatsword looks like amaterasu

Bloody helice skill make this boss a piece of cake.
That ash of war gave me flashbacks to Sekiro. A solid 10/10
I love the GSG cause it reminds me of the Fierce Deity sword from Majora's Mask
The poise on that weapon is crazy

This was the only way I could defeat the Ringleader as well. Such a cool weapon that most people overlook.
@@jonwarburton1145 haha based godslayer bro
i like how this weapon is just the inverse of the elden beasts weapon
Clearly the Boss music is for you.
POV : You are the boss in Elden Ring
The great thing with this, is that its quite fast for a colossal
Godslayer greatsword is just the onyx balde from ds3, from weapon art to looks.
“I’m the boss this time”
Let us slay the gods TOGETHA
Why do these weapon arts look like the armament upgrades from SAO Alicization?
I picked this up a while ago but don't quite meet the faith requirement. After watching gameplay with it I'm thinking about putting a few more points in faith to use it myself
It actually hits 3 times, knees first and will stun if you hit.
For a moment I didn't know who is the boss
Vyke: "Why I hear boss music?"
That's "becoming the boss" if I've ever seen one.
That sword hits like a truck
Puts on 30 buffs and titles the video: God slayer Greatsword
I mean I just flattened this guy with my greatsword and lion’s claw
Clearly the boss music was for you
faith users in PVP:
buff self 4 times,
run towards invader
gets 2-3 shot anyway
that weapon art gives me big empowered mortal blade vibes from sekiro!
This video-"I need more power"
Heavy onyx blade vibes from this
my brother in Christ where your vigor 😭
Yooo this is like the other Mortal blade that Genichiro used in Sekiro.
Did what a ultra great sword could've done in 3 hits
I was one of the blood lose weapons fan but after this sword bro it's fabulous 🤩
Surely I pop 10 spell puffs as soon a boss fight starts.

first thing that popped in my head? divine sword of nunoboko
That sword is so anime i love it
What armor is that? Cape looks sick

U make it look so easy while I get two tapped by a person using bloodhounds step.
He got a chocolate dragon eclair!
When you’re the boss
Mortal Blade???
That Weapon Looks Cool As Hell!!!
I am also using the same sword its just awesome
The only dex based scaling Colossal weapon. Very cool if you are going dex faith
how do you do the continuation of the sword art? mine stops on the first swing
press left trigger again
