The Dragon Greatclaw is a Colossal Weapon in Elden Ring. It arrives late in the game, in Leyndell, Royal Capital.
The Dragon Greatclaw is said to have been whittled from the claw of a great, ancient dragon and is wielded by grotesque Tree Sentinels who yet serve the Erdtree. It drops from the Draconic Tree Sentinel fought at the Capital Outskirts before Leyndell. The claw is wreathed in lightning, splitting its damage between physical and lightning, and it deals 30 percent more damage to dragons and 15 percent more to ancient dragons. It has the lowest attack rating among colossal weapons at its minimum stats and at 80 Strength, but at later levels with split Strength and Dexterity investment it becomes a reliable quality weapon.

Skill
Endure costs 9 FP. The wielder braces in an anchored stance that for three seconds raises damage negation by 45 percent and greatly boosts poise, so most attacks fail to stagger. Some light one-handed attacks even bounce off, though headshots and launching attacks can still interrupt the wielder. Heavy weapons take noticeably longer to enter the stance.
Suggested Build
A quality colossal weapon for dragon fights, using Endure to take hits while landing heavy strikes.
| Stats | Strength 55 and Dexterity 55, Vigor 40 to 60, Endurance 24 to 40, Mind about 10 |
|---|---|
| Affinity | Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling. |
| Talismans | Lightning Scorpion Charm, Axe Talisman, Great-Jar's Arsenal, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman |
