Weapon behavior

The two-handed strong attacks use Artorias-style spinning and somersaulting movements. Their commitment and recovery differ from the ordinary greatsword swings, so leave room to finish the animation.

Reinforcement and comparison

Physical damage scales equally with Strength and Dexterity. Held Humanity adds further attack power up to 10. The Intelligence and Faith requirements do not provide additional damage scaling.

Reinforce to +5 with Demon Titanite. This weapon has no elemental upgrade branches and cannot use pine resins or weapon-enchantment spells.

In-game description

Weapon type: Greatsword
Attack type: Regular

This greatsword belonged to Lord Gwyn's
Knight Artorias, who fell to the Abyss.

Swallowed by the Dark with its master, this
sword is tainted by the Abyss, and now its
strength reflects its wielder's humanity.

Where to find

Boss-soul forging

Anor Londo

Requirements

  • Reach the main cathedral in Anor Londo.
  • Keep the Giant Blacksmith alive and friendly.
  • Retain Soul of Artorias and a normal +10 Dagger.
  1. Enter Oolacile through the Darkroot Basin portal after rescuing Dusk from the golden crystal golem and obtaining the Broken Pendant from the crystal golem near the beginning of the Duke's Archives. Return to Dusk's former cave at the rear of the basin to find the portal.
  2. Defeat the Sanctuary Guardian, continue through Royal Wood and defeat Knight Artorias in the arena before Oolacile Township. Keep his soul for the weapon.
  3. Prepare the normal +10 weapon. Andre can make the +5 to +6 modification after receiving the Large Ember from the chest beside the first butcher in the Depths. Continue reinforcing to +10.
  4. In Anor Londo, enter the cathedral hall with the two large sentinels. Reach the upper walkway beside the Silver Knight archer, cross the connecting passage and go down the spiral stairs to the Giant Blacksmith.
  5. Open Modify Equipment and select Abyss Greatsword. Check the result before confirming: the soul and the +10 weapon are both consumed. The forging fee is 5,000 Souls.

Notes

  • Requirements and weight: Requires 22 Strength, 18 Dexterity, 18 Intelligence, 18 Faith and weighs 9.0.
  • Scaling: Physical damage scales equally with Strength and Dexterity. Held Humanity adds further attack power up to 10. The Intelligence and Faith requirements do not provide additional damage scaling.
  • Special attacks: The two-handed strong attacks use Artorias-style spinning and somersaulting movements. Their commitment and recovery differ from the ordinary greatsword swings, so leave room to finish the animation.
  • Ciaran choice: Giving Artorias's soul to Ciaran rewards her two tracer weapons and consumes the soul. Killing her can provide the tracers without spending it, but permanently ends her appearance in that journey.
  • Ghost limitation: This is a separate DLC sword. It does not inherit the cursed Artorias sword's ability to hit ghosts without a curse.
  • Reinforcement and buffs: Reinforce to +5 with Demon Titanite. This weapon has no elemental upgrade branches and cannot use pine resins or weapon-enchantment spells.
