In-game description

Weapon type: Greataxe
Attack type: Regular

This axe, one of the rare dragon weapons,
is formed by the tail of the Gaping Dragon,
a distant, deformed descendant of the
everlasting dragons.
The axe is imbued with a mystical power,
to be released when held with both hands.

Where to find

Tail cut

Depths

Requirements

  • Reach the Gaping Dragon boss.
  • Sever the tail before killing it.
  1. From the Depths bonfire, use the lower sewer route toward Domhnall and the large locked Blighttown door. Take the nearby stairs down to the Gaping Dragon arena.
  2. During the fight, move around behind the dragon and hit the tail itself. Cut it before the dragon dies to receive the greataxe automatically. Its boss soul is a separate reward.

Notes

  • Requirements and weight: Requires 50 Strength, 8 Dexterity and weighs 24.
  • No attribute scaling: Physical attack has no attribute scaling. Needs 50 Strength in one hand or 34 when two-handed, plus 8 Dexterity. It weighs 24.
  • Area smash: The two-handed strong attack produces an area shockwave and spends 50 durability from a maximum of 400. Reinforcement improves the weapon, but does not add attribute scaling.
  • Defense bonus: Adds 20 magic defense and 20 fire defense while active. These points do not mean a fixed percentage of all incoming damage is prevented.
  • Reinforcement and buffs: Reinforce to +5 with Dragon Scales. There are no normal or elemental conversion paths. Can use pine resins and compatible weapon-enchantment spells.
