Balduran's Giantslayer

Balduran's Giantslayer is a legendary, highly enchanted (+3) special variant of the Greatswords family of weapons. It is a martial melee weapon that's wielded with both hands.

Wielded by Balduran, the founder of Baldur's Gate and friend to his guardian dragon, a great glittering wyrm called Ansur. Fellowship can be undone, though, as easily as you or I might unlace the strings of our shoes, and it was in a time of skullduggery and hardship that Balduran killed Ansur, carrying out the deed with this sword.
