Fantasy swords fit for dragon slayers are ubiquitous in video games, especially those that incorporate classic fantasy themes. Their intimidating size makes them suitable for slaying dragons, demons, and giants like the Greek Hyperion.
Final Fantasy – Cloud’s Buster Sword
Even if you don’t play Final Fantasy, you can probably tell Cloud’s Buster Sword apart from the sea of swords in other video games. It’s Cloud’s signature weapon, and since he’s by far the most popular character in the game, the sword is practically the game’s mascot.
In Final Fantasy games, the Buster Sword is usually Cloud’s most well-rounded weapon, providing him with a nice all-around stat boost.
“Genshin Impact” – Snow Buried Star Silver Greatsword
The Snow-Buried Starsilver Greatsword is a craftable sword that Genshin Impact players can obtain from the Dragonspine Snow Mountain. It is located in a vault at the top of the Dragonspine Snow Mountain, where an ancient civilization once flourished. A great disaster buried the civilization in endless snow, and the princess gave the sword to a hero from another country, hoping that the sword could help him find a way to save it.
The hero failed to find a way to save them and returned to the princess, only to find her and her people dead. Because of this, he left the Snowburied Starsilver Greatsword in a vault, where it was later discovered by the player character, who was also a hero from another country.
Genshin Impact: The End of the Wolf
The Snowburial is a niche weapon with no clear best user, while the Wolf’s End is considered by Genshin Impact fans to be one of the best weapons in the game for Diluk due to its high base attack and attack damage.
According to the in-game lore, it was once the sword of a knight who served Boreas, the Wolf King, who lived outside Monstadt. After Boreas died, the knight left his sword as a tombstone for Boreas, hence the name.
Elden Ring – Ratan’s Starbreaker
If you decide to challenge him in the game, Ratan of the Elden Ring will use his Starcrusher Greatsword against you. Its massive size shows his reputation as one of the most powerful demigods in existence, as he is the only one who can go toe-to-toe with the Valkyrie Marenia and end the fight in a stalemate.
Unfortunately for players, the only way to obtain this weapon in the game is to defeat Ratan, so you better be ready to prove your skill and strength.
Dark Souls – Artorias Greatsword
The Artorias Greatsword, while imposing in appearance, is said to be born from the soul of Sif, who guarded the legendary Tomb of Artorias, and the story behind it is pretty normal. The game’s lore states that Artorias died protecting Sif, so it’s a shame that the player is forced to kill Sif in order to progress in the game.
