Gravelord Sword is a Weapon in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered.

 

Sword wielded only by servants of Gravelord Nito, the first of the dead. Crafted from the bones of the fallen."
"The miasma of death exudes from the sword, a veritable toxin to any living being."

How to Get / Where to Find the Gravelord Sword

 

 

Notes:

  • Give to Frampt to receive 100 souls.
  • Toxin build-up is 30 per hit, and once infected, Toxin does 5.55 damage per second (333 damage per minute) for 600 seconds.
  • One and two-handed Strong Attacks are replaced by a thrust attack, compared to the other Curved Greatswords.
  • When held in the left hand, this sword can neither block nor parry, but will attack instead. Two handing can be used to block.
  • It is worth noting that while being wielded in the off-hand this weapon will only perform a standard slash for both light and heavy attacks; it will not perform its signature thrust attack, making it essentially useless for dual-wielding purposes.
  • This weapon can be acquired very early in game and is very powerful at low levels, though do not forget that you need an eye of death in order to acquire it (which can be picked up from behind the titanite demon).(You can kill the Bell Gargoyles with this weapon in only a few hits).

      Used this weapon on my very first playthrough. I didn't know anything about and put a lot of stats on poison resistance while believing grinding was a sin. Best weapon ever tbh.

      If you ****ed up on scaling and have horrible stats, don't worry, this weapon's got your back and will make your playthrough a cake walk.

        immense dmg, toxic status oneshotting if you can pull it off past peoples resistances, the stunning opens people right up for sword dances, and its the perfect gravelord cosplay weapon, Dont sell this to frampt for what hes offering, just dont.

          Warrior Class: first 3 levels after arriving at firelink go straight into Strength. Bum rush this sword, use it to kill Pinwheel, bone out. Spend souls in whatever (probably VIT or END), continue the rest of the start of the game blissfully over-powered.

            This is the best weapon in the game purely off its longevity. It's not amazing late game due to poor scaling but you can get it within the first 10 minutes and it will absolutely carry your ass without a problem for pretty much the entire playthrough, and if you're a decent enough player there is no reason to ever replace it as it does enough damage that all you need is a little bit of skill and that's it. No wonder I always bummed rushed this weapon back in 2012 lol

              obtainable really early, does great damage, and most importantly looks really cool. whats not to like about this incredible sword?

              • Anonymous

                i remember a PvP shocase in wich the poison stat showed 333 instead of just 300, is there something that affects that?

                • Anonymous

                  just an insane weapon, the literal only problem i have with it is its parry/backstab animations but thats just a personal preference.

                    very good early game weapon for skilled players, warrior class+3 strength upgrade+ 1 minute to enter the chamber, get the eye and running into the coffin-----you get a cool weapon to deal with early game bosses without buying/ farming shards, it's already a +5 level weapon.

                      I adore this sword. Been using it for a new build and it’s great. Heavy attack is a little slow but does insane damage, and the r1’s hurt. Toxic doesn’t do much, but it’s funny when you see your opponents health whittle down second by second. Also, the damage on this thing is pretty solid. 397 damage when maxed? I’ll take it!

                        i got summoned by a gravelord servant few times (same player), he uses this sword. what the problem is, he started attacking me when i am still in the summoned position. I did not receive any damage but the poison buildup already occured, is this a bug? That doesnt make sense as I am unable to move yet, but the posion already started building up. Anyone encounter this?

                        • PVE it's a good enough weapon. PVP, I'd say it is High Tier? or a very good Mid Tier? Not at the very Top, but good enough for sure. It's funny because I used to think this weapon was bad; I guess is so easy to get that you see a lot of bad players using it. But then I started to fool around with it and once I got the hang of it I was really surprised. It has a great move set, very balanced with an amazing Running Attack, a fine R2 and a simple but effective R1. Good for Dead Angles.
                          Bad scaling. And it doesn't have the same range than a Murakumo (a better weapon for sure) but it's slightly faster.
                          The Toxin effect in PVP is for the most part useless (as with all poisons is just too slow for Meta, 5HP p sec) but still is kind of annoying for the opponent, and even if it's just very slow damage psychologically still takes a toll with an unexperienced player.

                              and this means toxin
                              so the games opening video states: (Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease) which also means toxic and umm other sorts of sh!t

                                    I went on a good RNG craze on my first playthrough, getting the Black Knight Sword to carry me through the first areas, and right after getting the Titanite Catching Pole. They were such OP weapons on the start of the game and I never even thought they were random drops, but 100% chance loot. And then, I found myself the Gravelord Sword. It was instant love, definitely carried me through the rest of the early, mid and late game.

                                      Am I crazy or dumb that I used this in my first ever DS1 Playthrough right from the start? A Youtuber from my Country made a video about the best weapons before the first boss and this thing looked badass to me. After using it I kinda thought it was op and eventually switched to the Claymore. Claymore best bud in DS1. But yeah, this thing is amazing but it's kind of a cheese weapon for new players like me. (yes I went through the fast catacomb run to get this thing without really knowing where to go, but in the vid the person just jumbled and skipped half of the level.) I think I needed 7-10 tries to get it but if you are new to this game and have trouble, get this thing. Other than that, the claymore is always your friend.

                                        i know this is the grave lord great sword but it truly looks like a weapon of darkness!
                                        so i use it for my dark lord build!

                                        • How fast were you? Statuses take a few hits to inflict, and start wearing off between hits until you do. You would have to hit said enemy a bare minimum of three times with no obstructions and very little room for delays.

                                            I got the sword upgraded it to +5 used it on a weak to toxin enemy C resistance I think hit it like 6 times no toxin does it only work in PvP? The vids I have seen show the sword puffing out the toxic cloud mine does not.

                                                If you unequip the pants off a starter Knight, you can go fast enough to reach the sword (after a couple deaths setting up the path) as soon as you land in lordran for the first time (within the first 10min. Of the game).

                                                    Had a funny moment last night. I started a new character in remastered and went and got the sword and rite of kindling. Anyway, I murder my way through the game and get to the parish and put down my summon sign since I'm in a helpful mood. I almost immediately get summoned and as soon as I enter, someone invades. Invader is rolling toward my bro, then suddenly stops and starts gesturing at me. I think once he saw I was there and what I was wielding he just gave up. He didn't even fight back as we stomped him.

                                                        Been using this for a big chunk of the game on my strength build, but it has no decent scaling.. What should I switch it for? I find the Zwei so unbelievably slow. I upgraded the man serpent greatsword, but it still hits so much less than this gravelord sword.

I started as a pyro, got my strength & dex both up to 13, went down the catacombs to obtain this sword only to realize i cannot wield it, even with two hands?! The requirements for this weapon are strength 24 and dex 13, so with strength 13 and dex 13 you should be able to 2hand it, right? I was checking for so many things but i still have no clue what's the problem.. -_-

                                                              Very fun sword to use in pvp. It might not be strong from a "meta" standpoint, but toxic is so rare, that it generally causes immense panic whenever it procs on an enemy player. Which certainly fits the whole Gravelord theme.

                                                              • A very devastating weapon for both early game PvE and low level PvP between SL20-30, simply upgrade it once into +1 and it'll become a powerhouse for curbstomping newcomers. On the other hand, it swings much slower than most weapon and is a little bit heavy, having the same weight as the Zweihander, so pay attention to the equip load, the timing for the swings, and when you can telegraph your attacks so your swing can hit your opponent.
