There are two beastmen enemies there, one of which that drops the greatsword They are super hard to kill early on, but if you can it’s really fun to play through the game with it

It's probably worth mentioning that the Bloodhound's Fang, in addition to all it's other benefits (intrinsic bleed effect, buffable, awesome weapon skill) it also has stronger jump attacks. This effect is hinted at in the weapon's description.

Magma wyrm scalesword has 4 secrets: first secret: the full damage of first part of weapon art does full damage for first 2 seconds, also, if somebody steps into lava 1-2 seconds later, you can do the second part guaranteed, second secret: you can change the direction of weapon art while flight twice, which will allow you to dodge some thrust type attacks and hit them at the same time, third secret +15% bonus damage modifier for strong attacks while 2 handed and +10% damage bonus modifier for strong jumping attacks while two handed (as bonus, info, thanks to crouching while doing strong attack and weapon art, you can dodge hits like this sometimes), fourth secret: lava moves very slowly, but still forward.

in my most recent playthrough i combined dismounter with flaming strike. and it is one of my favourite builds now, the curved greatswords moveset is really good because they can hit several enemies easily. but they can combo however you want, light into heavy, heavy into light, light into heavy into light. and so forth, these can also combo into flaming strike so you can do tons of mixups and variants to fit your needs. they also have good reach and respectable hyper armor, so definitely a solid weapon class

Something for y'all to keep tabs on, as it's mentioned (not shown, but at least spoken of) here: You can do the rolling attacks out of a crouch pretty quick if you're careful. Plus, with some attacks, it gives you more options; certain greatswords will have long-range pokes, and certain piercing weapons will gain wide sweeps. Always good to keep in mind for certain pieces of gear, curved greatswords especially, as they often perform downward diagonal sweeps, whereas the crouching move is an upwards sweep (good against anyone looking to crouch and avoid gettin' cleaved).

It's come to make me appreciate the PvP aspect of Elden Ring more, and even made me start considering making a character for a PvP build!

To answer your question about the Magma Wyrm's Scalesword in PVE, it completely shreds through anything not resistant to fire. And even then, it just overpowers them.
