On condition that Nightreign normally has deadlines, because of its encroaching storm, this sword’s energy would not usually have the possibility to snowball too far uncontrolled, regardless of being a robust weapon. However Mintius managed to get the fitting mixture of enemy and encounter spawns to scale it so far as it could go, after which even additional.
Per Automaton’s translation, Mintius hunted mobs within the Wormface encounter for “about an hour” with the Marais Executioner Sword, to see what would occur.

The going concept is that Mintius hit an “overflow,” and immediately went from hitting the harm ceiling to scraping the harm ground. Very like the web tall-tale about Gandhi in Civilization, hitting the upper-limit could have precipitated Mintius to wrap again round to the decrease.
Mintius is outwardly going to proceed testing the Marais Executioner Sword, to see what sort of limits and bounds exist on it, in addition to the unbelievable harm potential behind it. They apparently wish to strive doing a plunging assault on a Flame Chariot, simply to see what sort of harm numbers it could put up. It would most likely get wild.
For the common Elden Ring Nightreign participant, perhaps take this as an indication to not get too grasping in farming up that Marais Executioner Sword whenever you discover it. Or at the least, do not spend an hour doing so. It definitely looks like an excellent weapon, however it appears to be like like there’s some hubris to be present in attempting to take it to its highest heights.
