The Great Katana is a heavy weapon introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring. This powerful weapon is ideal for players who favor katanas but want to break through enemy defenses more effectively and deal significant damage. The core principle of this new addition to Elden Ring can be summed up as "go big or go home".
Stats and Characteristics of the Great Katana
The Great Katana has a weight of 9.0 and requires the following stats to wield:
Strength: 14
Dexterity: 18
This weapon comes equipped with the Ash of War: Overhead Stance. This technique allows you to take a stance, raising the katana above your head. Performing a normal attack propels the character forward to deliver a single overhead slash, while a heavy attack executes a series of overhead strikes.
IMPORTANT
The Great Katana can be upgraded to +25 using standard Smithing Stones
Description of the Great Katana
The item description for the Great Katana includes the following information:
“A great katana with a long, heavy blade. This weapon is unique to the warriors of the Land of Reeds. Designed for aggressive combat, it requires the warrior to put their entire body into the swing. The sharp blade's slashing attacks cause significant blood loss.”
To find the Great Katana, you need to reach the Great Bridge of the Northern Location of Grace in the Plains Tomb. Then, head west towards the nearby water body and look out for the Phantom Fire Dragon in the center of this area. Near this dragon lies a corpse where you can find the Great Katana.
You can obtain the Great Katana without having to fight this powerful enemy. Simply mount Torrent, quickly grab the weapon, and leave the area. You can return to battle the dragon later when your character is better prepared.

I’m Mr.Brauwn, and I’ve been part of the Minecraft world for over 10 years. Like many others, I started playing with friends in the early versions, but soon I discovered that servers had enormous potential to create unique experiences. Servers and Projects Over time, I specialized in creating custom servers, developing private projects, events, and collaborations with content creators. Configuring plugins, designing systems, and shaping communities quickly became an essential part of my daily life. The Leap into Content Creation After so many years working on servers, I realized I could also share all that knowledge and those experiences visually. That’s how I started streaming on Twitch, showcasing my own servers and playing on them with the community. From Twitch to YouTube Later on, I understood that this content shouldn’t only remain in livestreams. I decided to launch my YouTube channel, where I share curiosities, tutorials, plugin reviews, updates, and technical aspects of Minecraft. It’s a space for other players and creators to discover the same potential I once found in this game. What Minecraft Means to Me For me, Minecraft is more than just a game. It’s a part of my daily life: recording, editing, testing mods, configuring plugins, building, and sharing with my community. After more than a decade, my goal remains the same: to create, inspire, and enjoy this infinite world alongside everyone who joins me on the adventure.
