6. Nightrider Glaive

The Nightrider Glaive has tremendous reach and power. Find it by taking out the Night’s Cavalry boss between East Raya Lucaria Gate and Bellum Church at night.

5. Ruins Greatsword

The Wave of Destruction skill is the main reason to use the Ruins Greatsword. Acquire it by defeating the Misbegotten Warrior and Crucible Knight bosses in Redmane Castle Plaza.

4. Giant Crusher

For raw power, use the Giant Crusher hammer (or two). Find it by opening a chest south of the Outer Wall Phantom Tree Site of Grace in Atlus Plateau.

3. Greatsword

The standard Greatsword has lots of reach and deals high damage. Find it in the caravan moving throughout Dragonbarrow in Caelid, close to the Caelem Ruins Site of Grace.

2. Prelate’s Inferno Crozier

From all-out power, to its devastating Prelate's Charge skill, the Prelate’s Inferno Crozier is no joke. Collect it from the Prelate inside Fort Laiedd.

1. Starscourge Greatsword

The Starscourge Greatsword’s Starcaller Cry skill can take out bosses in just a few hits. Defeat Starscourge Radahn, and trade its Remembrance with Enia at Roundtable Hold to acquire it.
