Bonked my way out of rage quitting. Feels even better in the nude.

Submit

I have a SL 125 Quality (40/40) character and am too lazy to make a pure STR one. Is this thing any good with my current stats?

Submit

Fun fact: there is no difference in terms of damage or move set between a +5 Grant and a +10 Divine great club, besides the 2 handed heavy attack.

I was doing a Paladin Leeroy build when I discovered this, the club was a good substitute for me until I got the Grant.

Submit

One of the easy-mode options in DS1 and great example why STR builds are overpowered in DS1. Other OP path is INT build with sorceries.

If you combine both you get ultimate build -> giant club with crystal magic buff in one hand and manus catalyst with dark soceries in second. No boss stand chance even on NG+6.

Submit

Ahh, Big Log. You were at Unga bunga side, all along.

meth addict approves of this weapon and says that only true warriors wield such an instrument of destruction and righteousness. praise the poo log

one of the kings of PvP. thee iconic backstab stick itself. pretty straight forward weapons tho. low stat investment huge damage on backstabs (hornet ring 4head) and weak r1's and r2's. interesting note though the 2h rolling attack is NOT toggleable. and the rolling r1 has really good range, poise damage, speed and recovery. the 2h rolling r1 -> r1 is a "true" combo if the opponent tries to toggle the attack. very weird interaction on a very strong and popular weapon.

on my first dark souls playthrough, I really wanted to use a shortsword for the entire game. However I felt it's damage lacking, so I tried to turn it into a boss weapon, and f*cked myself by turning it into Astorias's sword that required magic stats I didn't have. In my desperation, I turned to this random big stick I found in blight town. Ended up carrying me through the entire game. Thank you big stick.

Submit

Your gigantic demonic mace made from nigh-indestructible ancient archtree wood is nothing compared to this gigantic poo poo-covered tree branch I just happened to pick up from the middle of some stinky toxic and sludgy swamp

Submit

the game feels so different when not using this, you only need to keep space and find the right moment to lunge, it's satisfying, quick, and keeps the flow of exploration, other weapons just feel so slow despite hitting faster

Submit

Love this thing. Made a joke build with it named Unga Galunga (named after an inside joke with my friends) and it ended up being the most fun and efficient build I've ever done. Pyromancy matches the theming too, so I got a fire orb spell and used that for when I want to provoke something I want to crush the skull of. 10/10, better than trying to make a sorcery build into something that's not the most boring **** ever

Submit

OH, GREAT CLUB, YOU'RE THE UNGA TO MY BUNGA. THIS CAVEMAN ADORES YOUR EXTRAORDINARY CAPABILITY TO BONK EVERYTHING IN YOUR PATH. I WILL ALWAYS WORSHIP THE GIANT WOODEN STICK.

Submit

The best weapon of the game

If you reinforce this to +15 and grab the magic or great magic weapon sorcery, you can pretty much destroy any enemy in your path

Listening to "In Da Club" by 50 Cent while using this weapon gives you +1000 AR

I've played a lot of dark souls, still never used this simply because it looks too stupid.

The perfect bonk-stick for sending the very gods to horny jail, if only it made a loud bass-boosted *Bonk!* Everytime you successfully hit something/someone's with the heavy attack

This thing imbued with sunlight blade will carry you to ng+7 and beyond

Your armor forged by the gods in the primordial fire eons ago has nothing on this tree branch I just happened to pick up.

A big turkey leg apparently outdamages a giant Dragon Tooth and proly most of the other Great Hammers, typical weird fromsoft balancing logic.

This weapon hurts my soul... I mean it's just SO GOOD, arguably one of the best Greathammers in the game... and it's just a piece of wood!

On my faith-strength build, I made it divine. Should I just make it standard?

Submit

Anyone else try to avoid this on strength characters, but fail because it's just too damn perfect?

Perfect weapon for elegant sorcerers, the great staff! Staffs are basically sticks, the bigger the stick is, the more powerful you look! Imaging a sorcerer running towards you with this great staff glowing in blue light... It is as frightening as a dark bead, right? : )

is this good for dex builds

Submit

Take this you filthy dex users!

Submit

Wait wait wait... Is the in-game description seriously "Smashes enemies from upside the head"?!

Submit

Finally, decided to join the "club"...

Submit

so, i've done the math using soulsplanner .

a fully upgraded great club will have better damage output with a physical upgrade path against enemies with decent defenses and other players.
elemental greatclub will do more damage against low defenses / before it is fully upgraded.

so you could go elemental in the early game and then revert to regular, or keep it regular.

for context, at 28 strength 50 faith and two-handed :
- regular greatclub +15 has 642 pure physical AR (add sunlight blade / darkmoon blade with the right talisman for over 1000 AR).
- occult greatclub +5 has 736 physical/magic AR, that means ~ 90 more AR but as split damage.
as most enemies past anor londo have at least 150 elemental defense, physical even as itself is superior in almost every situation.

also remember that the great club naturally only scales off strength, making it easy to softcap the physical damage, allowing you to quickly get the maximum damage and then invest in other stats.

in conclusion, always go physical as your final upgrade, and if you leveled faith/int , buff your great club for big bonks.

hope this was helpful

I’ve heard many things about strength weapons and which one is the best, but I’m not sure what to waste my titanite on, is the great club, demons greataxe, or regular greataxe the best? Or the large club?

A wild, whatever, hostile thing that can be shattered appears.

Chosen One uses great club.

It's super effective.

Submit

WHY does a wooden tree branch deal more damage than the demons great hammer and smoughs at decent strength? Holy **** I thought the weight and requirements for those were the reason I never see them in pvp but now I know the true reason. Why even have those weapons in game?

Submit

there's a lot of people saying they're using elemental great clubs, so ima give everyone a tip. It doesn't matter what your stats are, if you can use the gc pure physical damage (regular upgrade path and crystal) will always be better then elemental. Whether you got 19 str to 2 hand, 28 str to 1 hand, or 50 str for amazing damage, pure physical is always better then elemental.

Submit

I have this at chaos +5 on a level 50 invader and about 80-100 invasions later only 1 host survived the backstab and instantly delivered a fatal backstab on me which was beautiful karma

Submit

The Great Club works really well with the Large Club. The Large Club has an amazing one-handed moveset with crowd control, while the Great Club has a powerful two-handed moveset, with more range. Just swap between them in your right hand when you want to and it gets pretty fun. Just make a Strength character that can fast roll with a Demon's Greataxe (22 Weight) and use these weapons instead (21 Weight). The only thing they won't cover for each other are walls and ceilings, so fight in wide open areas.

HAHA big club go BONK

Submit

BIG BONK

Submit

I use this weapon at +15 with grass crest shield and when equipped with sunlight sword it smashes everything. Best weapon in my opinion given that requirement stats are pretty low and it can be picked up super early

Submit

I think this would be best for 2 Handing with the Grass Crest Shield on your back. You get a ton of damage per hit. I wish I hadn't turned it into Smoughs Hammer.
Although, you can 1 Hand the Large Club and use the Grass Crest Shield, I have that at +15 right now and I'm still light rolling, the strong attack feels amazing.
Idk if this is the best weapon to 2 handing STR build, but it kinda feels like it to me. Still on my first run tho so, idk.

Submit

Everyone remembers Giantdad, but everyone forgets about the powerful Havelmom...

Submit

this monstrosity goes up to whopping 823 AR with the right build but god damn it sucked at manus

Submit

basically a big dagger

Submit

Whenever I main this weapon I always use a reinforced club as well for tight spaces. You don’t have to of course, if you’re a fake club fan

Submit

The two handed rolling R1 is deceptively fast if you happen to be able to fast roll.

Submit

Great club or large club

Submit

Does it mean that lighting is second strongest upgrade if we add all dmg output in single upgrade?

Submit

A fth str build with this thing is amazing. Upgrade it to the +15 and use sunlight blade. GG!!

Submit

Pure str build, whats better: this? Or demon great hammer?

Submit

It should be noted that the Enchanted version of this weapon IS one of THE strongest weapons in this game. It has split damage but the AR is insane. If you're seeking one of the top 5 strongest weapons in the game, the Enchanted Great Club is one of them.

Submit

Does anyone wanna break the meta? Because at the moment I'm getting bored of seeing all these terrible Zweihander spammers. LETS GET THE GREATCLUB SQUAD IN HERE

Submit

Its amazing that you can burn the branch using a coal resin

Submit

This thing is insane. My only problem with it is swinging it in tight spaces, but at +15 with lightning buff it absolutely destroys everything.
