The Fire Knight's Greatsword is a Colossal Sword in Elden Ring. It comes from Shadow of the Erdtree and is found in Shadow Keep.

The Fire Knight's Greatsword is the greatsword of the Fire Knights, a long, slender blade that undulates like fire and is blessed with a flame incantation, and further flame imbuement greatly increases its power. It drops from the Fire Knights who wield it in Shadow Keep, one of whom guards the lift near the Storehouse, First Floor grace. It shares its light attack chain with the Godslayer's Greatsword and the strong thrust of the Zweihander, so it handles like a greatsword with the stance damage of a colossal. It scales with Strength, Dexterity and Faith at D, accepts Ashes of War, and its innate fire damage suits Fire and Flame Art infusions.

Skill

Stamp costs 5 FP. The wielder braces the weapon and stamps into a low stance that keeps most enemy attacks from staggering the wielder, letting the wielder absorb a hit. Following with a strong attack unleashes a heavy upward strike for extra FP, while a normal attack instead flows into the second swing of the light combo at no FP cost. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Brace armament and step into a low stance that prevents recoil from most enemy attacks. Follow up with a strong attack for an upward strike."
