The Marais Executioner's Sword is a Greatsword in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find.

The Marais Executioner's Sword is the storied sword of House Marais, the family of executioners who presided over the Shaded Castle, and one of the legendary armaments. Elemer of the Briar, the Bell Bearing Hunter, snatched it from the site of his own execution and furnished it with battle skills from his home of Eochaid, and he drops it when defeated in the Shaded Castle. It deals physical and magic damage, scales with Strength and Arcane, and has a unique slam-down heavy attack. Its unique skill, Eochaid's Dancing Blade, flings the sword forward in a corkscrew that keeps dealing damage while it spins, and charging it extends reach and duration. It suits a Strength and Arcane character who wants to stunlock lighter enemies.

Skill

Eochaid's Dancing Blade costs 15 FP. The wielder infuses the sword with energy and flings it forward in a corkscrew that hits repeatedly as it spins, then snaps it back to the hand for a closing diagonal slash. Charging extends the reach, the spin time and the number of hits. Each spin hit counts as a separate attack, so boosters such as the Winged Sword Insignia and its rotten version stack up quickly, and a roll can cancel the closing slash. It is exclusive to this weapon.

"Infuse the sword with energy, then fling it forwards in a corkscrew attack. The sword continuously deals damage while violently spinning. Charge the attack to increase reach and duration of the spin."
