11Overview223344The Gorthak Greataxe is a two-handed weapon in Crimson Desert associated with the Gorthak Ironworks region. The Gorthak name signifies equipment forged at or inspired by the ironworking traditions of that area. With 19 base attack power and Critical Rate Lv. 2, it matches the Tardik Greataxe as one of the strongest standard greataxes in the game.5566The weapon's stat profile places it squarely in the top tier of craftable greataxes. The combination of high base damage and a solid crit bonus makes it effective across all types of combat encounters. Whether clearing groups of weaker enemies with wide arcs or grinding down boss health bars with occasional critical hits, the Gorthak Greataxe handles both situations competently.7788Stats991010StatValueWeapon TypeTwo-Handed GreataxeAttack Power19Attack SpeedLv. 0Critical RateLv. 2Abyss Gear Slots5RarityNon-Unique1111Stats12121313The following stats are.14141515AttributeValueWeapon TypeTwo-Handed GreataxeGradeEpic (Purple)Attack Power6Attack (+0)15Attack (+10)401616Enhancement Levels17171818Level+0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10Attack15171921232528313437401919How to Obtain20202121The Gorthak Greataxe can be crafted at a Blacksmith after learning the recipe from the Two Handed Weapons of the World Vol. 2 crafting manual. Crafting manuals are found during exploration of Pywel or can be purchased from merchants. The weapon may also appear as random world loot in the open world.22222323Crafting materials24242525MaterialQuantityIron Ore10Copper Ore32626Abyss Gears27272828Five Abyss Gear slots offer the usual flexibility for builds. The Lv. 2 crit rate creates a solid baseline that can be expanded with additional crit cores for a high-crit build, or supplemented with attack power cores for maximum raw damage. Players who want to offset the lack of a shield while using a two-handed weapon might also consider slotting defensive utility cores like stagger resistance.29293030Combat Notes31313232The Gorthak Greataxe is statistically identical to the Tardik Greataxe19 attack, Lv. 2 Critical Rate, 5 Abyss Gear slots. In the hands of Oongkaboth weapons deliver the same combat performance. The choice between them is cosmetic, determined by which one the player encounters first or which visual design they prefer.33333434Against bosses and elite enemies, the 19 attack base combined with Lv. 2 crit provides a strong damage profile. Oongka's greataxe moveset includes wide horizontal sweeps for group damage and powerful overhead chops for single-target pressure. The Gorthak Greataxe performs equally well in both roles.35353636Tips37373838The Gorthak name connects this weapon to the Gorthak Ironworks location. Visiting that area may provide lore context or related equipment opportunities.Since this weapon is identical to the Tardik Greataxe in stats, keep whichever one has more refinement levels. There is no mechanical reason to carry both.Pair the Lv. 2 crit rate with Oongka's high-damage charge attacks for devastating critical hit bursts that can stagger even the toughest enemies.
