Step 1: Join the Path of the Dragon Covenant
The first step in obtaining the Dragon’s Greatsword is to join the Path of the Dragon covenant. This can be done by visiting the altar located deep inside the Ash Lake. To find Ash Lake, you need to first reach the bottom of the Blighttown swamp, and then head towards the Great Hollow tree. Upon reaching the tree, continue downwards, and eventually, you will come across Ash Lake.
Once you reach the altar, you need to use the “Offer Dragon Scales” option to join the Path of the Dragon covenant. This covenant allows you to offer dragon scales to rank up and gain access to unique items such as the Dragon Torso Stone and Dragon Eye.
Step 2: Obtain the Dragon Eye
After joining the Path of the Dragon covenant, you need to obtain the Dragon Eye. This item can be obtained from the Undead Parish, where you encounter the Hellkite Dragon guarding the bridge. The Dragon Eye is located on a corpse near the area where the Hellkite Dragon was first encountered.
Step 3: Use the Dragon Eye in Anor Londo
After obtaining the Dragon Eye, head to Anor Londo. This area is accessible after defeating the Iron Golem in Sen’s Fortress and interacting with the glowing portal.
Once inside Anor Londo, head towards the central area where you encounter two knight statues. Use the Dragon Eye in the center of the area to initiate PvP (player versus player) combat. Defeating another player in PvP combat while in the Path of the Dragon covenant allows you to obtain a dragon scale.
Step 4: Offer Dragon Scales to the Path of the Dragon Covenant
After obtaining a dragon scale from PvP combat, you need to offer it to the Altar of the Path of the Dragon covenant. This can be done by interacting with the altar and selecting the “Offer Dragon Scale” option. Offering dragon scales allows you to rank up within the covenant and gain access to unique items such as the Dragon Head Stone and Dragon Body Stone.
Step 5: Obtain the Dragon Head Stone and Dragon Torso Stone
As you continue to offer dragon scales to the Path of the Dragon covenant, you will eventually obtain the Dragon Head Stone and the Dragon Torso Stone. The Dragon Head Stone allows you to breathe fire, while the Dragon Torso Stone transforms you into a dragon, granting increased attack power and a special roar ability.
Step 6: Obtain the Dragon’s Greatsword
The final step in obtaining the Dragon’s Greatsword is to offer 10 dragon scales to the Altar of the Path of the Dragon covenant. This will cause the Everlasting Dragon located at the altar to reward you with the Dragon’s Greatsword.
In conclusion, obtaining the Dragon’s Greatsword in Dark Souls is a challenging but rewarding task. Joining the Path of the Dragon covenant, obtaining the Dragon Eye, engaging in PvP combat in Anor Londo, offering dragon scales, and obtaining the Dragon Head Stone and Dragon Torso Stone are all necessary steps to obtain this powerful weapon. With perseverance and skill, any player can wield the Dragon’s Greatsword and conquer the challenges of Dark Souls.
