Dragon Greatclaw | Elden Ring Wiki

From Elden Ring Wiki

Dragon Greatclaw is a Colossal Weapon in Elden Ring. The Dragon Greatclaw scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity and is a good Weapon for going against dragon-like creatures and enemies. In addition to general Physical Damage, what makes this weapon great is that it does Lightning Damage which can be especially effective towards specific enemy types.

Weapon said to have been whittled from the claw of a great, ancient dragon, wielded by grotesque Tree Sentinels who yet serve the Erdtree.

The claw is enwreathed with lightning, and tears through the dragons' feeble descendants with ease.
