Weapon behavior

The two-handed strong attack creates a dark explosion centered on the wielder and spends 50 durability from a maximum of 350. The visual flame does not mean its ordinary damage is fire damage.

Reinforcement and comparison

Deals physical damage without Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence or Faith scaling. Attribute levels beyond the requirements do not increase its unbuffed attack rating.

Reinforce to +5 with Dragon Scales. There are no normal or elemental conversion paths. Can use pine resins and compatible weapon-enchantment spells.

In-game description

Weapon type: Greatsword
Attack type: Regular

This greatsword, one of the rare dragon
weapons, is formed by the tail of the
one-eyed black dragon Kalameet,
the last of the ancient dragons.
The mystical power of its obsidian blade
will be released when held with both hands.

Where to find

Tail cut

Royal Wood

Requirements

  • Have the Crest Key and reach Gough.
  • Cut Kalameet's tail before killing him.
  1. Find the Crest Key in the Township Mimic. From the lower street with several Bloatheads and two sorcerers, enter the side doorway and go upstairs. Cross the wooden planks and drop into the room with the fireplace and chest. Defeat the Mimic for the key.
  2. Return to the exit of Artorias's arena facing the Township. Turn left up the stairs, then cross the short bridge to the locked tower door. Open it with the Crest Key and speak to Gough.
  3. Before Artorias's arena, take the slope into the Royal Wood valley, pass the dogs and descend the long ladder to encounter Kalameet. Return to Gough and accept his offer to shoot the dragon down.
  4. Return to the valley for the grounded fight. To cut the tail, work behind the dragon and strike the tail itself, especially after its downward tail slam. Attacking the body does not count as cutting the tail.
  5. Keep attacks on the tail until the Obsidian Greatsword is awarded. If the dragon is close to dying, stop attacking its body and wait for another tail opening.
  • Defeating Kalameet without the tail cut loses this sword for the journey. His death reward and Gough's bow do not replace it.

Notes

  • Requirements and weight: Requires 20 Strength, 16 Dexterity and weighs 8.
  • No attribute scaling: Deals physical damage without Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence or Faith scaling. Attribute levels beyond the requirements do not increase its unbuffed attack rating.
  • Area attack: The two-handed strong attack creates a dark explosion centered on the wielder and spends 50 durability from a maximum of 350. The visual flame does not mean its ordinary damage is fire damage.
  • Weapon buffs: Can use resins and compatible weapon-enchantment spells despite being a unique dragon weapon. It uses Dragon Scales, so it does not follow the normal +15 reinforcement system.
  • 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.
