Elden Ring Onyx Lord Greatsword Novels & Stories

I can tell you that the Onyx Lord's Greatsword is one of those weapons that feels heavier in your hands than it looks. From what I've gathered in the community and my own experience, it weighs 11.5 units in-game. That might not sound like much, but when you're mid-roll trying to dodge Malenia's Waterfowl Dance, every decimal point counts. The heft is part of its charm though—it swings with a satisfying weight that makes each hit feel impactful. Compared to other colossal swords like the 'Guts' Greatsword', it's slightly lighter, which gives it a nice balance between power and mobility. If you're building a strength-focused character, this is a fantastic choice for its unique moveset and aesthetic.

What's really interesting is how the weight affects gameplay. At 11.5, it's just heavy enough to require careful stamina management, especially in PvP. I've seen players pair it with the 'Great-Jar's Arsenal' talisman to offset the load, and the results are brutal. The weapon art, 'Onyx Lord's Repulsion', adds another layer of strategy—timing it right can turn the tide of battle. Whether you're a lore enthusiast drawn to its connection with the Onyx Lords or a min-maxer appreciating its scaling, this greatsword is a heavyweight in more ways than one.

' I can confirm the Onyx Lord's Greatsword is one of those drops that'll test your patience. It only drops from the Onyx Lords in the Sealed Tunnel or the Royal Grave Evergaol, and the rate feels abysmally low—somewhere around 2-3% based on community testing. I remember farming for hours with max Discovery gear (Silver Scarab, Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot, and 99 Arcane) before it finally dropped. The sword itself is a beast, though, with that unique gravity skill and sleek black design. If you're going for it, brace yourself for a grind.

One thing I noticed is that the Onyx Lord in the Sealed Tunnel seems slightly more generous with drops than the Evergaol one, but that might just be RNG messing with me. Either way, bring something to kill them fast (like bleed or magic) because you’ll be doing this a lot. The sword’s worth it if you’re into strength/arcane builds, but prepare to lose a chunk of your sanity first.

I can confirm that the Onyx Lord’s Greatsword is dropped by the Onyx Lords, those towering, obsidian-clad warriors you encounter in certain areas. The most reliable farming spot is the Sealed Tunnel in Altus Plateau, where one guards a somber stone coffin. Their moveset is brutal, but the reward is worth it—a sleek, gravity-infused blade that scales with strength and dexterity.

What makes this sword stand out is its unique Ash of War, 'Onyx Lord’s Repulsion,' which creates a shockwave of gravitational force. It’s perfect for crowd control or knocking pesky invaders off cliffs. If you’re a fan of greatswords with flair, this one’s a must-have. Just brace yourself for a tough fight; these lords don’t go down easy.
