How to get the Dragon Slayer's Great Katana in Shadow of the Erdtree

Where to find the Dragon Slayer's Great Katana

To obtain the Dragon Slayer's Great Katana, you must defeat the boss of the Dragon's Pit dungeon located in Scadu Altus. To find this dungeon, follow the path southeast of the Grace Waypoint past the castle until you reach the Grace Waypoint of the Pillar Path. From there, continue south and you will be invaded by the Ancient Dragonman. Continue south and you will find the entrance to the Dragon Pit.

Once in the dungeon, follow the tunnel to where it opens and fight the enemies inside. Continue through the tunnel until it opens a second time. You might be tempted to jump through the hole in the wall, but this will result in your death. Take the long path that goes around near the archer.

In the stairs area, continue going down to avoid having to fight a Great Wyrm. This will lead to a room with pillars and a large cliff. Get off the cliff. It's a long fall but don't worry, you will survive the landing unscathed. This will bring you in front of the boss's wall of fog. Enter and defeat the boss named Ancient Dragon-Man. By doing this, you will obtain the Dragon Slayer's Great Katana.

Introducing the Dragon Hunter Great Katana

One of the new large katana weapons exclusive to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, this large weapon stands out for its size and ease of use. It has a slower swing speed than a normal katana or similar weapons such as light swords. Of course, he hits a lot harder thanks to his size as well.

This weapon scales with dexterity and strength, but requires more dexterity to use. It has a weapon art that shows the player rising into the air before slashing with a red mist. This red mist can fire a forward projectile similar to that of Rellana's Twin Blades. This weapon art is useful when facing multiple enemies.
