TheDark Soulstrilogy is writhe with exciting weapons that players can use against unholy monsters and phantoms, and while it’s always worth knowing the best weapons inDark Souls, it’s also worth knowing the largest weapons in the series so that players can wield the heaviest and physically largest swords, hammers, and clubs so that they can bash their foes into a bloodied pulp.
In the trilogy ofDark Soulsgames, players can acquireall sorts of large weapons, and listed below are some of the biggest of the bunch that will make players question how they are even held in the first place, considering their whopping size compared to the small hollow that wields them.

While these ultra greatswords are not the heaviest found inDark Souls 3, they are extremely weighted in terms of appearance. Not only is this a heavy beast of a metal sword, but it’s two of them, so wielding both provides players with quite the heavy selection of swords that will certainly get their biceps pumping as they try to hold up and swing both swords at once.
The swords themselves belonged to the Ringed Knights, and players who are fortunate enough to get one for themselves will reap the benefits of a slow-attacking yet skillful blade that’s perfect for horizontal slashes and intimidating design.

The Dragon Greatsword is one of the most unique weapons inDark Soulsfor how it is obtained. Players must cut the tail off of the Everlasting Dragon in Ash Lake, and doing so will reward them with this great blade that can be wielded, despite its heavy size. While the weapon may require two hands to hold, it doesn’t prevent it from being just as effective as other weapons.
The Dragon Greatsword is a beauty to behold, and its sheer size showcases the importance of dragons and how they once ruled before the age of humanity. In what other weapon would players possibly wield the literalmystical powerof an ancient dragon’s tail?

One of the most mysterious weapons in theDark Soulsuniverse is the Malformed Shell, a weapon with seemingly unknown origins. The weapon itself appears to be fragments of a shell from an unknown creature, bound to a stick so that players can wield it and bash it against other living beings with unrelenting fury.
This weapon is certainly one of thelargest and heaviest, and its damage capabilities prove just that. It’s a peculiar one, though, as its unknown origins make it extremely intriguing, but the main takeaway from the Malformed Shell is how brutal it’s going to hit thanks to its raw size.

There’s really nothing special about the Great Club. It’s not born of a dragon or crafted by giants. Instead, it’s a humble tree branch that players can decide to pick up and wield to their heart’s content as they smash enemies on the head andknock them downwith great and ferocious swings.
The Great Club certainly deserves its name, as it’s a giant club that provides plenty of physical damage thanks to its unparalleled size. It doesn’t need fancy incantations or lore behind it; all it needs is a healthy tree branch and then to be swung wildly.

The Fume Ultra Greatsword once belonged to the Fume Knight, perhaps one of the hardest bosses in not justDark Souls 2, but in the entire series.Defeating the Fume Knightwas a reward in itself, and its somewhat sad to see this weapon become a heavy burden and a forgotten relic, for inDark Souls 3, it is found as a weapon far too heavy to be remembered for its former glory, and so the heaviest ultra greatsword awaits a new champion to wield it.
Even with nostalgia aside, the Fume Ultra Greatsword impresses with its massive scale, and the fact that it’s basically a blade made from rock and black slate, providing players with an increase to poise thanks to its mass, along with a great forward lunge and slash to make it a worthy weapon for those who like the biggest weapons they can find.

The Dragon Tooth is one of the most famous weapons in theDark Soulsseries, so it’s no surprise that it features in all three iterations. The Dragon Tooth is a literal tooth of a dragon that is wielded by none other than Havel the Rock, the knight who possesses immense poise and durability thanks to his hulking armor. The Dragon Toothdoesn’t need Havelto wield it, but a hollow that’s determined to get over 40 Strength.
The Dragon Tooth is harder than stone and sits rather uncomfortably on the shoulder of players who attempt to hold up its great size. It’s ridiculous in concept, and entirely cool in execution, providing players with a natural weapon of winged everlasting beasts.

Executioner Smough is extremely impressive, and when players meet himalongside Dragon Slayer Ornstein, they are most likely going to be extremely intimidated by the absurd size of the wielder of this great hammer. For those who conquer the battle, they can wield Smough’s Great Hammer and enjoy the very weapon he used to torment lesser foes and grind their bones into a tasty dust to fuel him.
Smough’s Hammer is ridiculously big, and it’s like something out of a cartoon. With its harsh slams, thin handle, and heavy blunt side, players are in for a treat of a weapon that can squish enemies underneath it, so long as they’re prepared for the slow wind-up and swing.
