Want to crush enemies with massive weapons in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon? Here’s a powerful and simple two-handed warrior build to get you rolling fast.
Smash First, Ask Questions Never – The 2H Warrior Build for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon gives you a lot of freedom when it comes to combat. If you just want to smash your way through the game with big weapons and raw strength, good news: you absolutely can.
But unlike more forgiving RPGs, Avalon’s enemies hit hard, and early-game survival can be rough — especially if you’re not ready.
That’s where this two-handed warrior build comes in. It’s all about heavy hits, stamina regen, and keeping things simple — just the way a true melee brute likes it.
You’ll be able to one-shot weaker mobs and wear down tougher enemies with overwhelming force. Let’s dive in.
Core Build Goal
The idea here is straightforward: swing a giant weapon, flatten anything in your way. With the right stats and gear, you’ll be deleting enemies before they even get a chance to hit back.
This build comes online pretty fast — you can have most of the essential pieces by level 12 or so, and it only gets better from there.
Key Stats to Focus On
- Strength – Main damage source
- Endurance – For more stamina and survivability
Shoot for 8 Strength and 5 Endurance early. After that, keep stacking Strength while sprinkling more Endurance as needed.
Essential Gear
Armor:
- Face of the Last Man
- Chestplate of the Last Man
- Traveler’s Pants + Traveler’s Shoes
- Any gloves or gauntlets
Jewelry:
- Geographer’s Ring – Faster movement out of combat
- Ironlung Stone +2 (Amulet) – Boosts Stamina Regen
- Perfect Warrior Ring – +5% Physical Damage
Weapons:
- Giant’s Sword – Huge damage and stamina-based mechanics
- Bloodsting – Applies Bleed, ideal for tougher enemies and bosses
Where to Find the Gear
- Last Man Set (Face & Chestplate): Defeat Mallory in the Blood Cave (under Blood Lake)
- Traveler’s Set: Sold by Orlaith at Horns of the South Keep
- Geographer’s Ring: Loot it off a corpse in the Miner’s Tunnels, northeast of Blood Lake
- Ironlung Stone +2: Found in a locked chest at the Abandoned Stronghold (bandit territory)
Perfect Ring: Dropped by Bromhar No Face, a bounty target up north
Giant’s Sword: Kill Seanan the Giant in the Abandoned Village, northeast of the Keep
Bloodsting: Found at the Archspire after extracting Arthur’s Soul Fragment from Excalibur — guarded by a Blood Abomination
Best Skill Tree Choices
Two-Handed (Strength)
- Brutish Fighter: +20% 2H weapon damage
- Fury Without Fatigue: Reduces stamina cost for heavy attacks
- Mighty Blows: 2H attacks drain enemy stamina
- Enduring Strikes: 2H attacks heal you on hit
General (Strength)
- Godly Physique: Flat melee damage boost
- Weapons of Great Heft: More damage based on your weapon’s weight
These passives are your bread and butter. They make your swings stronger, let you heal, and help deal with more tanky foes.
Build Strategy Tips
- Early Game: Focus on getting Giant’s Sword and the Last Man armor. You’ll be able to delete small enemies and chunk down larger ones with charged attacks.
- Mid Game: Bloodsting becomes your go-to for bosses thanks to the Bleed effect. Pair it with Enduring Strikes and you won’t even feel the health cost per swing.
- Movement Speed Matters: Until you get a mount or fast travel, the Traveler’s gear and Geographer’s Ring help cover ground faster.
- Don’t Over-Invest in Gear Upgrades in Act 1: Most gear gets replaced in Act 2. Still, upgrading Bloodsting or Giant’s Sword to +6 is worth it if you’re struggling.
Closing Thoughts
This 2H warrior build is all about simplicity, strength, and pure melee satisfaction. If you enjoy big swings and bigger numbers, this is the setup for you. While it’s a bit stamina-hungry at first, you’ll be able to manage it with the right amulet and some smart skill choices.
Now go out there, grab your oversized sword, and show Avalon what brute force looks like.
