88 Greatswords are two-handed Slash weapons that scale with Agility. They occupy both hands and lock out an off-hand pistol, trading attack speed for reach and heavier per-hit damage. Crafting them starts at Weaponsmith Workshop Level 2. The table below lists the four greatswords in the current build so you can pick the closest match to whatever you meant by Captain's Greatsword.

1111 All four share the same baseline 380 ATK at Level 15, so the choice comes down to the bonus damage value and the special effect. Soul Eater carries the highest base damage and is the only greatsword tied to a captain (the Ghost Captain), which is the most likely source of the Captain's Greatsword name.

2323 If you are hunting the captain-named greatsword specifically, you want Soul Eater, which drops from the Ghost Captain. Plan that run so it also covers nearby enemies, resource nodes, and any Pirate Chest spawns, since the two chest-drop greatswords (Stalwart Greatsword and Dueling Greatsword) can appear on the same circuit. For a craftable fallback while you farm, the Two-Handed Sword needs only 10 Copper Ingot and 2 Rough Hide at a Level 1 Weaponsmith.
