Royal Claymore location?

[Deucalion]

I saw it's supposed to be in the desert area, but I can't find it for the life of me. The only loot I discovered but could not reach is after the desert "bonfire" on a broken bridge I can't reach or otherwise climb the rock it's on, and it's driving me nuts.

It's in that broken bridge, you need to have light armor or no armor at all to make the jump, also if you have the red cape that gives you 5% movement speed it helps.

Alternatively you can reach the other side by using the Dash ability. I did it that way but it was some patches ago, hope it still works.

Just take note there is no way back out of there, you'll have to respawn.

Thanks guys, I haven't tried any ability yet and always wore heavy armor so I wasn't aware this mechanic even existed. Good to know.

From what I gather there are only three claymores, and they are the only representation of two-handed swords in the game (and there is one ultra-greatsword). The real pity is the slow and clumsy moveset, a lot of devs, including fromsoft should check how swift and elegant these weapons are IRL.
