Thankfully, this build also works great with other Curved Greatswords.

Here are a few that you should use alongside your Bloodhound’s Fang:

---Omen’s Cleaver

  --Occult Affinity with the Seppuku Ash of War

  --It can be found in Stomrveil Castle’s Courtyard.

    -From the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace, head to the courtyard. There will be an Omen Ogre.

    -Defeat it, and it will drop an Omen Cleaver.

    -It can also randomly drop from Omen enemies.

---Beastman’s Cleaver

  --Occult Affinity with the Seppuku Ash of War

  --Found by using the Waygate in the Four Belfries that is described as “crumbling lands.”

    -You will need an Imbued Sword Key. One can be found at the top of the Four Belfries in a chest.

    -Once you’re in the Crumbly Farum Azula, make your way towards the bottom flying rocks.

    -The Beastman’s Cleaver will be there.

How to Deal Maximum Damage with Bloodhound Fang’s Dual-Wield Build

The most simple and efficient way to use the Bloodhound Fang’s Dual-Wield Build is to continuously land hits while one of the blades is coated in either Rot or Poison.

This will allow players to do the greatest amount of damage possible. This is due to the following factors:

---Kindred of Rot’s Exultation talisman increases your damage by 20% for 20 seconds when someone in your vicinity is inflicted with poisoning or rot.

    -This will give you a burst of damage in the beginning. If you are fighting a boss, then you’ll need to wait until the status effect wears out before you can reapply it and get the burst of damage again.

    -Rot Grease causes 63 Rot build-up and lasts 60 seconds.

    -Poison Grease causes 63 Poison build-ups and lasts 60 seconds.

---Lord of Blood’s Exultation allows the players to increase their damage by 20% for 20 seconds when blood loss occurs in its vicinity.

    -This is a more constant boost. Blood loss is instant. Players won’t need to wait too long to reapply. The talisman itself does have a 10-second cool down between uses.

    -Each Bloodhound’s Fang causes 55 Blood Loss build-up.

---White Mask Helm will increase the player’s damage by 10% for 20 seconds when blood loss is inflicted in its vicinity.

---The Rotten Winged Sword Insignia will start to increase attack power after the third successful hit for a total of three tiers of damage.

    -The damage increases are as follows:6%, 8%, and 13%

    -If it is too big of a delay between hits, then it will start to decay.

---One of the most useful attacks for Curved Greatsword Dual-Wield is their jumping attack. The Claw Talisman boosts the damage of jumping attacks by 15%.

    -This attack also delivers powerful staggering damage to enemies.
