Elden Ring · Greataxe | Compare
Choose a variant below. Closely related recipes, conditions or opening branches are collected here so you can compare them without moving between almost identical pages.
The version and limits of the original source apply to every entry. Quantities and requirements belong to the named variant; do not add alternative recipes or opening lines together.
These options share a planning task. Their differences stay visible in the individual rows and calculators.
Requirements are checked for one-handed use only. Scaling grades refer to the source’s base weapon, without upgrade or affinity changes. The load calculator uses your entered maximum load; it does not infer Endurance, damage, buffs or two-handing rules.
Plan your scenario
Using this reference
For Greataxe, check each one-handed requirement before looking at weight and scaling grades. Meeting the requirements answers whether those listed thresholds are reached; it is not a damage estimate. A scaling grade describes the recorded base weapon, without selecting an upgrade path.
The load calculation adds this weapon to the other weight you enter. Use your actual maximum equip load to compare two choices fairly. If you change armor as well as the weapon, update the other-weight field rather than attributing the whole difference to the weapon.
