Queelign's Greatsword is a Heavy Thrusting Sword in Elden Ring. It comes from Shadow of the Erdtree and is found in Shadow Keep.

Queelign's Greatsword belonged to the Fire Knight Queelign, who devoted everything to the crusade and reforged his weapon into a weighty piercing sword with a blade that undulates like fire, shaped after the lance of his liege, Messmer the Impaler. It is obtained in the Prayer Room of the Shadow Keep by giving Queelign an Iris of Occultation after defeating him in two invasions. It uses the heavy thrusting sword moveset and pairs physical with fire damage, scaling with Strength, Dexterity and Faith, with a critical rating of 117. Infused with Flame Art and paired with Faith, it reaches very high attack power, especially with the Flame Spear skill. It suits a Faith character who wants a fire-wreathed thrusting weapon.

Skill

Impaling Thrust costs 9 FP. The wielder gathers power, then lunges forward into a strong piercing thrust that punches through an enemy's guard. Most of the damage gets past a raised shield, which makes it a reliable answer to turtling enemies and players. The thrust can be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Skill that lets piercing armaments overcome enemy shields. Build power, then lunge forward for a strong thrust that pierces an enemy's guard."

Critical Damage

Its critical rating is 117, above the 100 most of its class carries, so backstabs and ripostes land noticeably harder. Nothing else in its class has a higher one.

Suggested Build

Infused with Flame Art and fitted with Flame Spear: the charged skill strikes distant foes and coats the blade in fire for melee follow-ups.

Stats	Faith to 60, then 80, Strength 14, Dexterity 18, Vigor 60, Mind 25, Endurance 30
Affinity	Flame Art, which shifts its scaling toward Faith; at 80 Faith it hits well above its Standard values, more so with Flame Spear's buff.
Ash of War	Flame Spear for a ranged burst that also enchants the blade with fire, or Royal Knight's Resolve to empower a charged or running heavy attack.
Talismans	Godfrey Icon, Fire Scorpion Charm, Two-Handed Sword Talisman
Pairs With	Golden Vow, Flame, Grant Me Strength

Notes

"Greatsword of the Fire Knight Queelign. A weighty piercing sword with a blade that undulates like fire. Queelign devoted his all to the crusade, and remade his sword in the shape of the lance wielded by his liege, aspiring to become a second impaler."
