Way back in 2012, the original version of Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning dropped on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Fast forward to September 2020, THQ Nordic released a remastered version of the game on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. And, it dropped on the Nintendo Switch on March 16, 2021. This action role-playing video game was initially developed by Big Huge Games and 38 Studios and published by Electronic Arts (EA).

The Greatsword is one of the types of weapons available to the Fateless One, the protagonist of the game. It is a melee weapon that utilizes sweeping and cleaving attacks at a close range, hitting multiple enemies at once. This weapon is in the Might-based weapon family, which fighter-style characters use best, and takes advantage of Brutal Weaponry and Greatsword Mastery abilities.

10 Kellerac's Sword

"This magnificent blade was pulled from a boulder on the battle-torn Tywili Coast."

This weapon is found lodged in a boulder in the Tywili Coast. If the player chooses to "pull the blade out," they need 42 Might and receive the true Kellerac's Sword (which has the full effects). If the player chooses to "remove the gem," they need 3 or less Sagecraft and only get a Gem of Snow. If the player chooses to "destroy the gem," they need 3 or less Sagecraft and receive the plain Kellerac's Sword (which does not have the 9 Ice Damage nor 4 Freezing Damage over 3 seconds).

9 Gerstotad

"Meaning "doomed" in the Jottun tongue, this sword was created for an elite Jottun mercenary guard captain. Exquisite craftsmanship keeps it light enough for smaller races."

8 The Titan Spear

"No one is certain what being might have been large enough to both craft and wield the spear that this sword was once a part of. It is hard to think of something more terrifying than the warrior that can heft this weighty blade alone."
