The Ultimate Guide to Elden Ring's Legendary Armament: Unleash Your Power!

Elden Ring, the top game of last year, continues to be regarded as one of the greatest RPGs ever released. Its replay value lies in the open-ended journey through FromSoftware's immersive world of The Lands Between. This world is filled with challenging boss battles and intricate lore, making the customization of each Tarnished character vital to their progression.

Within The Lands Between, players have a wide variety of equipment choices. However, there are certain weapons known as Legendary Armaments that surpass the others in terms of both lore and gameplay significance. From mythical swords to other extraordinary weapons, these select few prove to be exceptionally valuable.

S Tier

A Tier

The Dark Moon Greatsword is the ultimate prize obtained by completing Ranni's questline. As a weapon characteristic of FromSoftware, it lives up to the impressive reputation set by its predecessors. With its exceptional Skill and the ability to inflict Frostbite, the Dark Moon Greatsword not only boasts remarkable scaling and a versatile moveset but also solidifies its position as one of Elden Ring's most renowned and powerful weapons.

The Ruins Greatsword is a formidable weapon that can be acquired by defeating the formidable duo of the Misbegotten Warrior and Crucible Knight at Redmane Castle. This monstrous blade demands an exceptional strength requirement of 50. While its Skill showcases impressive gravity magic damage, the Ruins Greatsword's regular moveset is more than sufficient to vanquish bosses with charged R2 attacks alone.

The Marais Executioner's Sword can be obtained by defeating the boss Elemer of the Briar at The Shaded Castle. However, the powerful Skill of this sword is impractical and diminishes the cool appeal of its design and effects. Although it has great potential in PvE, the inconsistency of using this unique sword ultimately limits its usefulness.

The Sword of Night and Flame is found in Caria Manor and is notorious for its split scaling across multiple opposing stats. It requires a very specific build to be effectively used, but with the correct stat distribution, it provides access to two of the most powerful weapon Skills in Elden Ring.

B Tier

The Golden Order Greatsword - Acquired by triumphing over the Misbegotten Crusader boss at the Cave of the Forlorn, the Golden Order Greatsword inflicts holy damage and is perceived as more ordinary than extraordinary. Although it possesses a formidable and visually striking Skill, its effectiveness is ultimately dependent on specific circumstances.

Bolt of Gransax - Discovered within the confines of Leyndell, this weapon can only be obtained before completing Crumbling Farum Azula. Boasting an incredibly powerful lightning bolt Skill with an impressive range, the Bolt of Gransax has the capability to unleash the wrath of a deity if wielded skillfully enough to strike the intended target.

C Tier

The Grafted Blade Greatsword, obtained by conquering the formidable Leonine Misbegotten boss in Castle Morne, is an unmistakable homage to the iconic Iron Throne from the beloved series Game of Thrones. With its Skill enhancing attribute, this sword serves as a commendable choice for those embarking on strength-focused builds during the early stages of the game.

The Devourer's Scepter, a peculiar great hammer acquired through completing Bernahl's questline in Crumbling Farum Azula, falls short when compared to other weapons. Despite its ability to heal the wielder while inflicting damage upon foes, the unusual combination of stat requirements and split scaling renders it an odd choice, at most.

Discovered inside Castle Sol, the Eclipse Shotel is a rare weapon found in Elden Ring that possesses the ability to inflict the Death Blight status ailment. Primarily intended for PvP purposes, this Legendary Armament is often regarded as a mere title rather than a practical choice due to its limited usefulness. Elden Ring is accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
