A rare weapon category, there are only four such weapons in the game. While Greatswords and Ultra Greatswords have significantly different movesets from their Straight Sword children, Curved Greatswords retain a significant amount of the grace of their smaller versions.
Curved Greatswords still require a healthy attribute investment however, demanding both Str and Dex to use, and with moderate weight requirements. Three of them share the Spin Slash skill, while the fourth makes use of a leaping strike that emulates the Abyss Watcher’s graceful fighting style.
If you want a larger weapon but don’t enjoy the movesets on Greatswords, try a Curved Greatsword and see if it suits your playstyle.
