Demonic Sword Gram

«Demonic Sword Gram» is the second strongest legendary sword in «ALfheim Online». The only weapon that surpasses it, is the legendary «Holy Sword Excaliber».

It is currently owned by the Salamander «General Eugene», who was considered to be the strongest player in ALO before Kirito's initial foray into the world.

This large two-handed crimson great sword features the unique ability of «Ethereal Shift», which allows it to phase through shields, swords and other objects in order to hit its target. Although this ability is an enormous advantage against inferior weapons such as Kirito's «Black Iron Great Sword», it has its limitations namely, that it cannot pass through separate objects in a quick succession. Kirito uses this to his advantage to defeat Eugene by borrowing Leafa's sword to make use of his mastery of «Dual Blades», ending the duel.

Trivia

 * The name Gram is probably a reference to a mythical sword of the same name. It is said that Sigurd, a legendary hero of Norse Mythology, used Gram to kill the dragon Fafnir.
