Fool's Errand
You hear a faint whisper in the back of your head; unified in word, but spoken from a dozen tongues. A ghostly choir pleads with you. <i>"Descending these dungeons is a fool's errand, can't you see? Turn back while you still can."</i>

Other Two-handed Greatswords
Same category — likely alternatives at the same level band.
- Spiked Greatsword
Every rose has thorns - and sometimes, nature can serve as inspiration for weaponry and design!
Lv 41 - Guard Of The North Sword
Lord Vorgoth's once-trusted blade was discarded before the war and replaced by a weapon more befitting of vile acts. It still clings to a semblance of sanity and light, shining brightly in the dark like the North Star.
Lv 40 - Princely Greatsword
A noble sabre that impresses with its golden glow and broad blade. Perhaps the former owner was compensating for something.
Lv 28 - Sickle Greatsword
Once upon a time, Orpheus, a dark dragon, descended from the mountains to wreak havoc on the people's crops. Determined, the farmers laid down their scythes to join in the righteous crusade against the creature, forcing it to retreat with but one blow. While their names were forgotten, their fabled blades served as inspiration for many blacksmith apprentices.
Lv 28 - Goldlaced Greatsword
An azure gem, curved guard, and gold-patterned edge embellish this sword. All in all, it is both beautiful and deadly.
Lv 27 - Protector Greatsword
Girdles and cloth wrap tightly around the hilt, proposing the story of an unlikely protector having to adjust the grip on the weapon spontaneously.
Lv 15 - Barbarian Greatsword
Miscreants, brutes, and evil doers of the past would often wield similar blades. Perhaps this weapon was forged in the shadows of a back alley and changed hands on the black market.
Lv 9 - Greatsword Of The Old Order
Before the fall, many guards and knights of Embervale would brandish swords such as these. Perhaps their spirit lives on through your fighteous strikes.
Lv 3 - Chimerical Greatsword
A weapon born from the amalgamation of bones, earth, and liquid fire. As your eyes travel across it, the mess of cartilage and moss at the hilt gives way to a light-swallowing obsidian blade.
- Fell Thunderbrute Greatsword
The great Fell Thunderbrute Greatsword - shrunken for your convenience.
- Fine Copperblade Greatsword

- Fool's Demise
A voice reverberates through your bone marrow each time you grip the greatsword's handle. <i>"King of fools, hear your fate foretold: Your skull shall shatter, and from within the hollow dome, you will gaze up through eyes rolled inwards at your soul; an incandescent fountain, spouting from the cracks."</i>
