How To Get Guts’ Berserk Greatsword In Elden Ring

This guide shows you where to get Guts' Berserk Greatsword in Elden Ring, the ridiculously huge sword used by the anime protagonist.

If you are a fan of Berserk, you will want to know where to find Guts’ massive Greatsword in Elden Ring.

You might be surprised to know that Elden Ring, as well as the previous Souls games, have all been inspired by Berserk, a popular manga series that has since then been adapted into anime.

Guts is the name of the main protagonist in Berserk who carries a massive Greatsword on his back to cull all sorts of demons and monsters.

In Elden Ring, Guts’ Greatsword is a Colossal Weapon, and here is where you can find it.

Guts’ Berserk Greatsword location in Elden Ring

You can find Guts’ Berserk Greatsword in a wagon that is stranged in the Caelid region of Elden Ring. This is one of the more difficult areas to explore in the early game.

If you do make it to the wagon location marked on the map below, you will still have to defeat a number of enemies before you can loot Guts’ Greatsword.

Take the northern Caelid Highway and continue on the highway. Near the Minor Erdtree, look to the south and you will find a large field with lots of giant dogs guarding a single wagon.

Behind this wagon is a chest that contains the Berserk Greatsword (though it is named just Greatsword) in Elden Ring

You can either try to kill all the dogs that are standing between you and the wagon, or you can simply sneak past them and get the sword. If you come to Caelid early on, fighting the dogs is out of the question as they will kill you every time no matter what you do.

However, if you come here with enough skills and strength, you can go on slaughtering the dogs and get the Greatsword for yourself.

Berserk Greatsword stats, is it any Good?

Greatsword is a Colossal Sword with excellent range and the basic colossal sword moveset.

You need 31 Strength and 12 Dexterity to one hand the weapon. Greatsword has an initial scaling of C in strength and E in dexterity. Being a colossal weapon, Greatsword is one of the heaviest weapons, weighing 23.

The default weapon skill for Greatsword is Stamp, followed by an Upward Cut. This weapon skill can be switched out for any Ash of War, and this also allows you to change the affinities for your Greatsword.

The weapon is upgraded using Smithing Stones, and hence, has 25 upgrade levels. The weapon also has good defense when used for blocking while dual-weilding.

The Guts Berserk greatsword is best used as a Strength-based character as it scales at 162 physical attack, without the need for any enhancements. This makes this colossal sword one of the best and strongest greatswords in Elden Ring.  

The Greatsword’s staggering power is another advantage, as it can interrupt enemy attacks and create openings for counterattacks. Its relatively longer range allows players to strike enemies from a safer distance, granting an advantage over opponents with shorter-range weapons. Of course, the satisfaction of its attacks is something that will be enough for most players.

However, this Greatsword does have weaknesses of its own. Being a greatsword, players might find their character quite slow and they will have to plan their build accordingly. However, if you like greatswords in general, this sword can get you through most of the game especially if you have upgraded it fully. But is it the best greatswords in the game? No, it’s not as there are better options like General Radhan’s Greatsword and Blasphemous Greatsword. Dual-Weild Great Swords with jump attacks have been found to be very effecting so you should kee that in mind as well while deciding on any Greatsword in Elden Ring.
