Carthus Curved Greatsword

[tomato wizard]

Is this thing worth farming far? I think its probably the coolest looking weapon in the game and I want to do a dex/hollow bleed build with it and the bandits knife/warden twinblades/ccs/shotel. Not sure which ones yet.

[Jeremy]

the build your going for, yes it will work very nicely.

[Chris]

Hollow bleed builds got nerfed a long time ago IIRC, blood infusion was buffed to compensate.

oooooooh baby
thanks!

at 40 luck and +9 it bleeds really quickly on most people (Edit:) with blood infusion

[Timbermaw]

Ya it's one of the best bleed weapons with bleed infusion

[t103left4dead]

The only problem with it is that it is slow and against people who keep backing up constantly it does poorly.

Remove the "great" in that name and you're good

How about this? Itd be sharp, but with carthus rouge. 3 different weapon slots to make counter their playstyles.

How many hits does it take with the bleed infusion vs sharp/hollow with rouge?

If you don't pump luck it's probably 1 or 2 hits less, but if you do it goes up to 99 bleed per hit at 40 luck

Thats nuts ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, so would you say go bleed then instead of hollow/sharp with rouge?

Carthus rouge MIGHT be better at lower levels if you infuse it with raw since it adds a flat 20 bleed, but higher levels bleed infusion wins no doubt.
You can infuse your sidearm with hollow if you want an extra +5 luck.

I don't know how it compares to the flat damage hollow infusion would give you instead, though. Bleed infusion is to cause burst when the bleed procs.

on my hollow infused CCGS 50 luck 40 dex str i get around 560 AR 49 bleed i think (havent played him in awhile) and on my bleed infused CCGS i get 99 bleed. really good in invasions for punishing estus but pretty bad for arena. if you didnt know already you can sometimes combo r1 l2 r2 into a full combo for like 1200 damage although i never have done it consistenty but i
think usually works if you catch people out of a rolling r1 attack or just a roll itself

Can't tell you about the sword, but I want to know if anyone knows if there is a Shadow version of Soul Memory in this game, because when people farm the Red Eye Skeletons in Catacombs of Carthus for the PvE version of farming for Vertebrae Shackles, it seems like sometimes they just stop dropping anything but Titanite Shards for Hours. For those that do not know, Soul Memory was in Dark Souls 2, and it was a mechanic that would detect how many monsters were killed, and eventually not spawn them. That was the Basic understanding of it. This was supposed to be removed, but maybe it is still really there.

thats not at all what soul memory was for and mobs stopped spawning after killing them 7 times i believe
