Obtaining
The first way to obtain a  is to craft one at any time using a Bellows station.

The second way to obtain them is by defeating Plague Villagers for a very rare chance at dropping a steel item. Hunting for the specific steel item that you desire however, is extremely rare using this method.

Usage & Strategies

 * As a weapon with long reach as well as the second highest damage value in the game, the Steel Greatsword would become one of the player's weapons of choice if they should acquire it.
