Hints and Tips:

  • Upgraded with regular Titanite to +10.
  • The parrying animation and window for the Murakumo is faster than almost any Great-sword. Making it an excellent off-hand weapon if you can get comfortable with the Southpaw.
  • The two-handed R2 deals heavy poise and stamina damage(if blocked) with a monstrous knock-back. It will knock-back and knockdown opponents ONLY on the 2h R2.
  • Trivia: It is believed to be a recurring weapon in From Software games, the name came from their early game "MURAKUMO", and appeared in Dark Souls before, wielded by Shiva of The East and obtainable from Giant Skeleton. It is also named after Kusanagi, a legendary sword from Japanese mythology, came from the tail of Yamato-no-Orochi (eight branched hydra). Also modeled after Zanbato/Zhanmadao, literally horse-cutting blade, it explained the reason of having a thick and long blade, the concept is simliliar to an oriental version of a Zweihander.
