Golden order seal scales with both faith and int
Golden order greatsword has no int component
Why be so inconsistent?
- Anonymous
I think if it's ash of war was faster, did more damage, cost less FP, and buffed the weapon afterwords it would be an S tier weapon. Right now the weapon itself doesn't do as much damage as some of the other unbuffable greatswords. Plus I'm having trouble having an opening for this AoW during a boss fight when up close. And if you want to do the projectile attack from far away you have to use up 20 FP for a small explosion before even getting to using the projectile attack which costs another 20 FP. And then there's the holy resist bosses and enemies.

Damn, So many Blasphemous Billy users down these comments.

Should weigh nothing but also do either minimal or no stance damage, also pure faith scaling and holy damage.

it would have been so cool to have a greatsword with 0 weight. it would make this thing actually useful
See, the Golden Order is so great that even a misbegotten is embracing it.

Sure, the damage is weak in pve. In pvp this gives you hyper armor WoG as an ash of war and an aimable beam of light follow-up, it's absolutely great for invasions because of that functionality.

Started using this on a whim and now it's easily top 5 weapons in this game for me. Looks awesome, amazing and beautiful unique skill, and it's a greatsword. And if you're so concerned about holy resist just slap on the sacred scorpion and holy cracked tear and this thing still RIPS

The Dark Moon Greatsword is also made of light and weighs the same

As someone who loves this weapon I can confidently say it completely sucks

This should've had an E in both Strength and Dex with 90 physical damage. It then should have int and faith scaling at B and 240 magic (same as Dark Moon) and holy damage on it. The aow is ok but should've had the first input as the two fast slashes with light waves that Elden Beast and Establish Order do at 10FP with two additional follow ups to unleash a third and fourth wave like Elden Beast. The weight should be lower, too. I get that it was modelled after Rennala Moon Greatsword but it states it is made of light so it should be weighing nothing or at least less than all other members of its weapon type.
If it’s made of light then it may as well do pure holy damage.

To everyone complaining about the weight...that was a lie along with the fact that it was forged by Radagon. It's just a Moonlight Sword that he modified so obviously it's not made of light

Weights 10 Miyazakilo, even made out of light.
The reason?
Well... From games always gave us freedom to think by ourselves about the meanings of lores in their games...

Holylight Great Sword.
With Warth of the Golds equipped.
And a follow up of Order Blade too.
And B scaling on Faith.
And generic Great Sword moves.
And good against undeads.
And good at DLC.
Do you want anything more?

Ngl, this could've been something good for Int/Fth. So far the only two weapons really designed for the build focus on Magic and Fire damage, and having a holy damage option (reflecting the Golden Order incantations and all that) would work really well. I bet there's someone here who wants to kill me for saying this, but let's be honest with ourselves here. Half of the somber greatsword weapon pool are faith weapons, and they can really stand to share.

This is my favorite greatsword, it's not that special or powerful, but it gets the job done and looks pretty.

Tbh a fine weapon, just wish it was able to stand out more from the other six somber faith greatswords. Like a 10% bonus to golden order spells while equipped like the radiant gold mask has.

The skill should've been a stance: if r1 you have the distance beam (the follow up of the ash) and the r2 should've been the explosion. It would've been cool also because of rellana's cameo, making it a good rival for the moonlight greatsword
- Anonymous
It would have been so cool if this only scaled with faith and intelligence, and weighed nothing. I’m thinking a B scaling in faith (that could be upgraded to S at +10), and an E scaling in intelligence (that could be upgraded to D at +10). It obviously won’t happen, but it is still interesting to think about what could have been, instead of what is :(
- Anonymous
Give it a B scaling in faith (at the very least), and make the AOW slightly faster, while also reducing the fp cost.
- Anonymous
Hear me out:
Give this thing a B or A scaling in faith (up from C), and change the E scaling in strength to an E scaling in intelligence (to fit the Golden Order theme). Lastly, make it have no weight. Tada!! :)

It's fine that this thing is a dex/faith weapon but kinda weird that a greatsword gets a strength scaling that's this low. This thing gets the strength scaling of the average dagger. I think at least a D would have made a bit more sense

FromSoft players when the Faith/Dex weapon requires Dex and Faith:

That thing is an absolute Death Knight killer, if you have enough faith. The AoW knocks them out of their attacks and deals a chunk of damage, on top of having one of the coolest animations in this game.

Radagon forged the sword and it is said that the sword was given to him by Rennala. Did he make it for her and she gave it back to him at the end of their relationship? Why does a misbegotten drops it? Why does Radagon uses a broken hammer in his boss fight?

This sword is still very decent, and one of the best Holy weapons in the game.
If you have 50 Faith, Str and Dex to wield this sword, you have one of the best weapons against Skeletons, Death Birds, those zombies that crawls, and even in DLC.
Put it with Holy Scorpion talisman, drink flask that gets 20% more Holy Damage + 10 more Faith, Shard of Alexander = great area effect skill that can still follow up with a swing + holy beam
All in all, this one combines pretty good with Relic Sword (forgot the real name, but the sword you get from Elden Beast) too, as Relic still gets Holy damage up, with a way more devastating skill too.
If this weapon could get an A or S on Faith, it sure would be better, but a B is still something that no jokes could happen.
- Anonymous
Considering the fact that this is a holy version of the dark moon greatsword, I am disappointed in the fact that it’s not as powerful as it could be. The AOW should be a bit quicker, should NOT cost 40fp, and should deal more damage. It also would have been cool if the weapon had an int scaling to match the Golden Order theme.

Yet another really cool weapon with almost no incentive to use due to a horrible skill and insane stat requirements. From really does a stellar job when it comes to making incredibly awesome yet entirely disappointing and borderline useless weapons.
"Repeated inputs send out waves of light"
*only has 1 input and only sends out a single wave of light*. Dumbass weapon

they could've made this like the moonlight greatsword but still unique by the buff making it shoot out holy beams with a thrusting R2 instead, would've been very cool.

Stat requirements are there for balance. You can use this on a caster build and it’s fantastic. Also has similar specs as treespear which is great for golden order fundamentalist builds.
16 str and 22 dex is worth it and 60 faith is all you need for this, throw whatever you want into int and there’s your build. Inseparable Sword is also good for this build and doesn’t need as much dex.
- Anonymous
Fantastic hyper armor on the Weapon Art (good for baiting in PvP), looks AMAZING, FAITH scaling is good... but the DEX requirements and FP cost of the Weapon Art are beyond retarded (20 + 20 = 40 FP for the full WA!!!), it requiring INT instead of DEX would make more sense and would enable Moonlight + Golden pairings. The WA should be half a second faster and cost 16 FP each MAX, ideally 20 FP first activation and 10-8 FP second activation.
THEN it could compete with the Moonlight, but as of right now it's still the inferior twin.
I still love it and I'm still going to use it because fashion >>>>>>>>>>>>>> stats and faith apes together strong

I really like this weapon, but having such a high dex requirement for it to scale like a unupgraded weapon is so Miyazaki.
- Anonymous
Really hoping for the balance patch that was mentioned 1 day before the DLC release to do something to this weapon.
In my dreams I imagine it being buffed like this:
- The explosion part of the AoW now applies a sacred blade weapon buff right before the explosion
-The wave part is now unblocable and deals 50 stance damage.
The sacred blade type buff will both give it the extra base damage buff it desperately needs and double on the anti undead passive it has by default, and the stance damage buff to the wave part will rewards player who actually manage to complete the AoW against a boss by either breaking their stance or leaving them very close to being stance broken.

Why do people complain so much about stat requirements, I'll never get it. I always try to get my vigor and main stat to 40 and all the other atleast to 25, this way I don't have to worry about stat requirements with 99% of weapons that I'd possibly want to use in my build. Sure, this way of allocating stats is suboptimal and I could have like 25% more damage investing all of these points into one stat, but it sure as hell is better than complaining online about weapon stat requirements.

This weapon is all over the place. That dex requirement while having absolutely shitty scaling, being Holy damage and the Weapon Art being useless as ****. What a waste of a design. Elden Ring is plagued by so many SLOW moves for the player, while enemies jump all over the joint and combo you. It makes these moves either PVP-only, or impractical to all but anyone who has mastered a fight.

"made of light" weighs 10 miyazakis, surely because it was another sword before!
meant to symbolize the golden order and forged by Radagon, no int scaling... surely because it looks like the Elden Ring!
21 dex req, surely because from doesn't want anyone to ****ing use this thing...
looks godlike (quite literally), SURELY TO PISS ME OFF
This sword is actually quite great at bullying Omens down in the Leyndell underground sections. If you can get the first explosion off at close range it'll stagger them, then the followup attack knocks them down. If you cast the ability again within melee range of the downed Omen and have both sword slashes hit the Omen you'll poise break them, which'll allow you to do a crit finish on them. Considering how annoying Omens typically are to fight in melee, being able to deal with them in just two AoW casts is nice.

-Sword gifted by Rennala, probably one of the most powerful sorcerers bar Lusat/Azur.
-Dark Moon Greatsword tells us that this is Carian tradition and scales with int really well.
-Recipient of sword is Radagon, secretly the god Marika (or the other way around depending who you ask) and leader of a religion defined by scholarship.
-Radagon reforges a magic sword of the Carians and imbues it with the power of Order, a concept unique to his religion.
-Scales with faith only.
-wtf
Favorite Faith weapon. It has insane hyperarmor on the AoW, a knockdown projectile, and great lore. It also looks incredible
- Anonymous
This weapon, like the Golden Order Seal and Golden Order Incantations, should scale with both int/faith. The same is true of death: death sorceries/ghostflame sorceries/the Prince of Death catalyst all scale off int/faith... Yet the death/ghostflame weapons, eg Helphen's Steeple, do not.
This doesn't seem like a bad *balance* decision, it seems so utterly inconsistent that I have to conclude it's a massive oversight and mistake by From. I hoped it would get fixed, but we're so far into the release now it doesn't seem like it'll ever happen...

How I hope weapon art would change/have different effects based on what Great Rune you currently use.
Godrick: weapon gets greenish aura and buffs your poise and all attributes with +5 for 1,5 mins.
Radahn: Weapon deals additional fire damage for a period of time and has reddish tinge. You gain small resistances to poison and rot.
Rykard: Every enemy killed will boost your attack power to a certain amount. Weapon art is colored orange/red and deals fire damage at the expense of holy damage.
Morgott: Weapon deals only holy damage for a period of time, but holy damage is majorly buffed. Weapon art triggers small self healing buff. Strong attack triggers golden slams on the ground.
Mohg: Weapon is tinged blood red and deals bleed build up. Holy beams are colored red and also deal bleed buildup.
Malenia: Every connected swing heals you a bit. Swings become little bit faster. Weapon art has one additional slash. Weapon art deals scarlet rot build-up, but wearer suffers from it too.

lots of people saying it should scale with int because its golden order and yeah, theyre right. but ALSO it should scale with int because it used to be a dark moon greatsword (or because it was from rennala, maybe a full moon greatsword) lore wise it used to be a pure int weapon lmaooo

Strictly pvp speaking, weapons like this and half of ER's catalogue are just disappointing man. Dark Souls 3 had such better varied weapons, along with cool covenants.

It's literally called: Golden Order Greatsword. But it's scaling has nothing to do with golden order. Stick to a sacred clayman spear because that is apparently more golden order than this meme of a weapon. Seriously I only ever see max level phantoms using this, & it's usually offhand powerstanced with a sacred relic sword or inseparable sword, because that's how many dex faith weapons we have. My tears evaporate as I blast them with the only real int faith scaling weapon in the game, before getting oneshotted by an uncharged gransax volt because I had to invest 60 points in faith & 40 in int just to deal decent damage. Gankers order represent!

Isnt it weird that in the biggest FromSoftware game there's literally 1 weapon for faith+int build (that i dont like at all) and not a single infusion, while in much smaller DS3 there was a separate casting tool, type of magic, two infusions and a number of unique weapons?
Looking at damage this thing could be good for Int+Fth just because It's one of very few weapons that have more elemental damage than physical, but stat requirements are brutal.

This sword feels way too unique to be a simple throwaway dungeon weapon. Part of me believes that this was once supposed to be Radagon's weapon for the final boss battle, but it would transition poorly into the Elden Beast fight where Radagon's body would be made into the Sacred Relic Sword. Also fighting two greatswords in a row wouldn't be very interesting
Radagon was a skilled smith, so him wielding the weapon he forged himself out of pure light in semblance of the Elden Ring definitely feels more in line with his character for a final boss battle than a stone hammer.

Ah yes, the prime example of elden ring's nonsensical scalings... You have the weapon of the leader of the int/fth faction, a weapon which used to be an intelligence weapon that was transformed into a golden order weapon, and what scaling do you give it? Int/fth? Even pure faith? No, dex/fth. Heck, it feels like it has high requirements just to make it harder to use on a golden order build. Just anti-fun design.

how does this weapon even do physical damage or weigh anything. Quite literally made of light. Thought it'd be like the coded sword and cipher pata. Feel like it'd be a lot cooler as a pure faith weapon with at least like a A scaling with most if not all damage in holy. It just makes sense to me.

This weapon should have kept the same passive buff as moonlight greatsword, having a wider attack at the cost of how much the passive buff lasts. If MGS lasts 60 seconds, the ability in the golden order greatsword should last like 20 seconds.

GSGS really is the poster child for both faith and holy damage. Aow that looks cool but takes 4 days to cast, no hyperarmour, no range, bad hitbox, no damage and costs an absurb amount. A sword that looks cool but is weak but the strongest thing about it is its weapon type and it makes you regret ever using it as you consistently do less damage to endgame bosses than you did to bosses before caelid.
