The Hound Greatsword is one of the best weapons in Crimson Desert - even if you have to go through a bunch of quests to get it.

The reason why the Hound is such a great weapon is because of the Hound's Claw Abyss Gear. This allows you to perform a spinning slash with massive damage that clears out a group of enemies at once.

Curious? Here's how to get it.
