Or use an animated shield.

Both are RAW, but kind of cheesy. I'd check with my DM before assuming they are allowed.

But I'd rather get an Animated heavy shield. Much more lucrative.
Alternatively, you could dump the Greatsword and wield a heavy shield as a two handed weapon. It's questionable whether this is better than a greatsword + animated shield, it isn't explicitly allowed by the rules (you can make a case for it, though), and you might look silly bashing with it but it's an alternative.
