How to Get All NEW OP Katanas and Great Katanas in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree (DLC Quest Guide)
The Great Katanas are scattered across the map, and players will have to traverse a fair amount of terrain to find them. Below are all the Great Katana locations and information on how to obtain them:
All three available Great Katanas have their own quirks and advantages that make them suitable for different playstyles. The base version can be infused, and the Ash of War can be turned into something more useful. The Dragon-Hunter's Great Katana is best when used against dragons, while Rakshasa's Great Katana does the most damage and really shines in PVP battles.
Overall I would say Rakshasa's variant is the best, especially when combined with Rakshasa's armor set which increases attack power significantly. Ash of War using her Great Katana increases balance tremendously, and most enemies and players will not be able to break it.
