📋 About This Mod

✅ Slightly slower attack
✅ Long range
✅ Medium/High Stagger Output

By FunkyGandalfCat

A long time ago, a warrior thought it would be a good idea to forge a enormous blade to scare and cut his foes in two. Sir, and he was right!

Everytime he showed up at a town, people would give an astonished look to him, always thinking: "How can he travel to far places with this gigantic piece of metal?"

Some soldier used to make jokes of him, saying how dumb he was for using such an big blade as this.

One day, while visiting a town, 2 giants invaded the place and started slaughtering and looting everything they could find. The arrows and common weapons of the soldiers were no match for the giants. Everything seemed to be lost, when the warrior appeared and destroyed the 2 giants with ease, they were no match to his heavy greatsword.

After this the warrior became a hero, soldiers and other warriros would start using the same weapon as him, not becoming so popular though, not everyone had the strenght to wield it. Nonetheless, who would be so stupid to mess with a man using a gigantic greatsword? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This mod was based on "Greatsword" weapon from Dark Souls series.

The gigantic Heavy Greatsword attacks slightly slower than other greatswords. But that does not matter, since the long range and high stagger output matches that with no problems.
