Godslayer's Greatsword is a Colossal Sword in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find in Greyoll's Dragonbarrow.

The Godslayer's Greatsword is the sacred sword of the Gloam-Eyed Queen, who controlled the Godskin Apostles before her defeat at the hands of Maliketh, and the black flames wielded by the apostles are channeled from it. It lies in a chest behind the Godskin Apostle's arena in the Divine Tower of Caelid. Its light attacks are faster than those of other colossal swords, and its unique moveset can link true combos. Its unique skill, The Queen's Black Flame, sets the blade ablaze for a sweeping slash with a follow-up, and the black flame keeps wearing down HP based on the target's maximum, which rewards it against high-HP bosses.

How to Get Godslayer's Greatsword Guide

Skill

The Queen's Black Flame costs 15 FP. The wielder sets the greatsword ablaze with the god-slaying black flame and delivers a sweeping slash, and an additional input adds a heavy follow-up slash. The black flames keep burning away the target's HP for a short while after each hit. The skill cannot be parried. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"Set the blade ablaze with the god-slaying black flame before delivering a sweeping slash. Additional input allows for a follow-up attack. The black flames will continue to wear down HP for a while."
