Golden Order Greatsword | Elden Ring Wiki

This was the original Moonlight Greatsword. Radagon made it into FTH weapon because he could. I get it, FTH builds could use their own version, but instead of Rennala's nicer looking Moonlight GS, we got Ranni's frosty hand-me-down.

Submit

I like using this because it reminds me of the best divorce in the game

Submit

Why this has such a high Dex requirement and the Moonlight greatsword doesnt??? They are supposed to be equivalents

Submit

Incredible how every legendary weapon seems to either require Intelligence, Faith or Arcane. If you are playing a full STR playthrough, you can't enjoy using them!

Submit

Skill literally produces the Golden Order incantation symbol but has no int requirement. Let me remind you that this is the only family of Incantations that has a spell that is INT only and 37 INT at that. No incantation from this family has solely faith stat requirements. Not to mention the damn thing is based of the Moonlight Sword. Just straight goofy.

Submit

Despite it not being the best option for dmg, this sword is pleasing to the eye. I carry it around as my 2nd blade along with the Blasphemous Blade, the passive from the Blasphemous blade is just too amazing along with its Ash to not carry it.

Submit

Blasphemous blade better

Submit

It's dumb as f**k that the inseparable sword is so much better than this, a legendary weapon supposedly.

Submit

Lore-wise, the end-result of a **** move. Gameplay-wise, an otherwise decent weapon though you'd be wanting something with more firepower.

Submit

Need someone to confirm if my memory fails me. At 1.06 the attack and ash of war can prevent skeleton to revive like how Golden Epitaph works, which I remember it wasn't before? My character just started NG+ so I only tested with the skeleton at summonwater village (both mob and summon of marine).

Submit

Giving this thrust for its R2 would make it usable for PvP. Why oh why is this not the case.

Submit

Ah yes fromsoft games where a poisonous plant can be poisoned, the goddess of rot can be scarlet rotted, a fully armored knight can be easily bled and the most lore significant damage type is also the weakest.

Submit

Yo, can we get a buff to this weapon? Just like how Darkmoon blade got a nice buff?

Submit

Faith users rate my idea

I'm going for a faith/dex sort of thing where I powerstance the balsphemous blade and the golden order greatsword. I've got plenty more points into faith than dex bc of the better scaling too. In my off hand, i've got the erdtree seal to swap for the golden order greatsword for the occasional incantation i.e. golden order, fgms, etc.

Submit

This is cool, but all I'll say is holy damage better be amazing in the DLC

Submit

Some halfwit saying too many cool weapons have been ruined by doing holy damage proves beyond any doubt they are not very bright. It isn't the weapons doing holy damage that are the problem. The problem is the idiot design decision to give the majority of enemies a stupidly high damage negation to holy apart from "those who live in death" especially when taking into account how much of the game's story and lore involves the golden order and the erdtree.

Submit

Man, it really took them more than a decade to add the 'Faith laser sword' from Demon's Souls back. About time, imo- Faith has never felt more fun.

Submit

Too many cool weapons ruined by dealing healing holy damage.

Submit

Be warned, for whatever reason, probably an oversight; this sword is entirely unaffected by the 1.06 patch.

At the time of writing, it's speed is noticably slower then all other greatswords except the Sacred Relic Greatsword.

Submit

Weird how this sacred and legendary greatsword used by the second elden lord got left in a random cave where some savage wild beast got its grubby hands on it.

Submit

Why do so many greatswords scale with dex? Especially unique greatswords with faith or int...its hard to find an interesting looking strength weapon.

Submit

I respecced just to use this against the death [rite] bird punks. The holy damage and bonus against undead works great.

The consecrated snowfield bird would be more fun if the artillery mausoleum could hurt it too.

Submit

Why this weapon isn't and Int-Fth hybrid when thats the entire premise of golden order incantations and seals is beyond me

Submit

The hell is up with this weapon? It needs 21 Dex to wield but has D Dex scaling at +10? And the WA only scales with Faith?

For a pure Fth caster (80) build, Inserarable Sword and Sacred Claymore seems like a better option.

For a Dex/Fth hybrid (55/50) build, Sacred Relic Sword outshined this thing in everyway.

Submit

Being made of light, it should have had shield-chip like shotels do, would make it more than just a skeleton hunting tool

Submit

I'm suprised it doesn't scale with int like the golden order incants do

Submit

Aggravating with how many enemies resist the Holy damage-type. It's a cool looking weapon, but if you're looking for a good faith-scaling GS, you're better off using an infused weapon instead with Flame Art.

Submit

Good News: Faith builds have their own version of the Moonlight Greatsword!
Bad News: It has funky stat requirements, a worse overall weapon art, a highly situational passive effect, and a damage type that nearly everything in the country resists.

But hey, it looks really cool.

Submit

just a weapon for dex users to be able to use sacred blade with sacred on a greatsword while still retaining some sort of scaling. Why would they go so far as to change a lore sword for something like that, idk.

Submit

Looks good, but I was not impressed by WA. Maybe I need to do more testing, but Gargoyle's Greatsword with Lion's Claw or Double Slash seems way more effective. And it is a str/fai sword unlike Golden Order Greatsword.

Submit

Ah, finally, the Sunlight Greatsword.

Submit

Is the second followup attack optional or does it always fire after the golden explosion.

Submit

This weapon is weird. Its another Golden Order weapon that isnt Int/Fth. Also, its made of pure light, but has a weight of 10.

Submit

Weapon would be a lot cooler if it was strength faith

Submit

Weapon would be a lot cooler if everything in the game wasn't resistant to holy.

Submit

Should mention this is part of the Legendary Armaments achievement.

Submit

Outshined by the Blasphemous blade in most situations, if it scaled with INT it would make it much better. As it is there isn't much reason I can think of to use this outside of it looking cool as hell.

Submit

Odd how the skill on this produces the Golden Order Fundamentalist symbol, a family of incantations that has dual faith/int requirments or only int requirements, yet scales mostly with faith.

Submit

They really make all Golden Order incantations scale with / require both INT and FTH, only for the corresponding Greatsword to only scale with FTH? Cmon guys...

Submit

Something to keep noted: The first explosion on this weapon art costs less FP, has poise, and deals more damage than an uncharged Wrath of Gold. The only thing WoG has over Establish Order's explosion is cast speed, knockback, and slightly more damage if you charge it which takes longer.

Establish order: 20 FP (15 FP with carian filigreed crest talisman)
WoG: 40 FP (30 FP with primal glintstone blade talisman)

Submit

In Irish mythology, the first king of the Tuatha De Dannan had his sword arm cut off, replaced it with a prosthesis, and then began wielding a sword of pure light. When you use Establish Order with this weapon, you do the Inner Order emote, which gives you the silhouette of a person missing their sword arm.

Submit

man why does it have to have dogshit str scaling? i don't care that it doesn't scale with int, intcels are annoying anyways. it's worthless for majority of faith builds sadly

Submit

Submit

it deals holy damage so it is basically trash

Submit

Bruh add Int scaling already, getting really bored of SoNaF.

Submit

Oh I wish this scaled better with strength... I'm making a paladin build (Strength and Faith) and this sword would have been PERFECT, specially with it looking cool as heck. But alas, it scales better with Dexterity

Submit

I’m gonna make a build based on Mythra from xenoblade chronicles 2 with this sword

Submit

missed opportunity for int/faith scaling, as like a great sword version of the SoNaF.

Submit

Seems like a misstep not making this require/scale with intelligence as well. For one thing the Golden Order is this game’s designated Int/Fai faction, so it makes sense that the weapon most visually and mechanically aligned with the Order would require both. For another, I just like those sorts of DS1 Greatsword of Artorias design weapons that require high stats for (at least in theory) a high payoff. Cool weapon, though.

Submit

Submit

The high Dex requirement makes sense… considering on a proper build this thing slaps.

What’s truly baffling is you will rarely see this weapon in PvP. Combine its AoE hyper armor with 70+ poise and you can disrupt and out trade meta “great pokes”

Submit

Any theory why Renalla was the one in possession of this weapon ?

Submit

And then he turned his wife's moonlight greatsword into a faith weapon, funniest sh!t I've ever seen

Submit

the fact that people are complaining about a 21 dex requirement on a weapon you're not going to find until level 100+ is baffling

Submit

Dual wielding this with the death's poker, because a true hunter of the dead wields their relics as well.

Submit

why does a random guy in a random cave have radagon's sword which was a gift from his ex wife

Submit

Golden Order but no int scaling, this isn't fair.

Submit

Literally oneshots people with the right build, my new favorite weapon for invasions

Submit

I personally don't wish it was weightless just that it weighed less, at least as a convenience to offset the rather hefty dex requirement for a pure faith sword.

Submit

Golden Order sword scales with Faith but Golden Order incantations scale with Int. Hmmmm

Submit

So many things just kill this weapon to me.
It is a sword made of literal light...
You know...? Like the Cypher Pata...? SO WHY IN MARIKA'S TITS DOES IT WEIGH SO MUCH!
IT SHOULD BE 0 weight! :v

Also, what in Radagon's name is this freaking scaling and stat requirement!? Did someone have a stroke?!
This is a weapon that has NO REASON in having such a high dex requirement, let alone ANY strength or dexterity requirement/scaling!
It should require like 35/35 in Intelligence AND Faith with at least a B scaling in each at +10!!!

Submit

So disappointing. This weapon could have been so much more if they bothered.

Despite being made of light, it has a regular weight of 10.00.

Despite being a "Golden Order" greatsword, it only scales with Faith, meaning it does not synergize with the Golden Order seal.

Lastly, it's found in a random cave wielded by a random duplicate miniboss. No reason, it's just there. At the very end of the game, so you can't get it early, which is a real shame. There, now it's a completely unique weapon that can give the extremely niche Int/Fai builds a weapon to use that isn't the sword of night and flame.

If I were to redesign this weapon, I would completely remove the physical damage and replace it with magical, and then have it scale with Intelligence and Faith. Make it weightless too.

Submit

This thing ****in RIPS. Doing INT/FTH and dual wielding this in the main hand and Dark Moon in the offhand and it destroys. The weapon skill combo on the golden order (L2 twice) knocks stuff back on both hits, and the range both horizontally and distance projected are much further than the Dark Moon at the cost of increased FP use. However, with Dark Moon in the off hand, I can enchant it with its weapon skill and two-hand it at will for faster projectiles with magic affinity. They both scale B off their respective caster attribute, and D on dex which is pretty useful. I feel like a true Golden Order Wizard of the Stars with the Prince of Death Staff and Golden Order Seal. Even if that doesn’t quite make sense, it looks and feels super cool. Very effective weapon I recommend it for anyone utilizing holy damage as part of their build. Even if you’re not equipping it 100% of the time, it’s useful to carry with you to throw out some long distance holy damage that slaps things to the floor. Dark Moon projectiles are still better for poise damage, but that’s what makes having both so great.

Submit

The fact that this is a modified Darkmoon Greatsword explains why the tracking on the projectile SUCKS

Submit

I love playing Elden Dex Ring

Submit

So glad this faith based sword doesnt have an INT requirement or scaling. Cry about it, int builds.

Submit

I think it’s the Faith Equivalent of Darkmoon GS, which might explain why it scales mainly with faith instead of both.

Submit

Kinda odd how it doesn't have additional scaling with intelligence. Considering its theme, the skill on it producing a Golden Order Fundamentalist Symbol AND being derived from a Dark Moon Greatsword. Would've honestly preferred Intelligence requirements / scaling, whilst lowering the physical requirements.

Submit

chad gog (golden order greatsword) vs virgin rivers of blood

Submit

Smh.... why did FS make so many Dex Scaling Faith Great Swords? Totally Absurd!

Submit

Considering the sword is made of light and it’s literally called the “golden order” sword, it should do a combination of magic and holy, no physical damage.

Submit

This could have been such a good int fth weapon, all the lore is backing it up

Submit

Petition for this sword's skill to have the same t-pose animation as other order spells, so you can establish "order"

Submit

Finally, Sunlight Greatsword

Submit

This is most likely a reference to the Demon's Souls iteration of the Moonlight Greatsword, which scales with Faith.

Submit

The ash of war feels buffed to me.
There’s a shorter delay between the AOE blast and the projectile launch

Submit

“ Telltale signs betray that this was once the greatsword bequeathed to him by his first wife, Rennala.”

**** Radagon. All my homies hate Radagon.

Submit

The beam this fires is what the Dark Moon Greatsword wishes it could fire. 50% wider, pierces enemies, properly tracks (can hit down slope).

Either Radagon really improved the DMGS he got from Rennala or Rennala had a better DMGS than Ranni.

Submit

Sunlight Greatsword

Submit

This sword looks amazing

Submit

Only part I'm sad about on this weapon is if you shoot the beam you have to do another explosion to shoot another one. It would be so fun if they let you keep shooting as long as you used the explosion once at the start. Double slash animation is sick.

Submit

This weapon is a a major letdown. Despite being a "Golden Order" sword, it is not split Faith/Int like the Golden Order Seal. And despite being "made of light" it also weighs what a normal greatsword would weigh. I would have loved to use this with the Golden Order Seal but unfortunately they don't synergize.

Additionally, it's weapon art projectile has very wonky aiming, and usually hits the ground.

Submit

i think that it should have a C in dex or a D in str to put it on the lvl of the dark moon

Strongly implied to be the Moonlight Greatsword Rennala gave to Radagon as Symbol of their relationship before he reforged it. He basicly reforged his Wedding Band for everyone to see.

Submit

This sword can perma-kill skeletons without an "extra hit"

Submit

It's a greatsword made of light. If only it was weightless, like the Golden Order Seal.

Submit

this thing ****s

Submit

I hate that you get this at the end of the game, when almost everyone is resistant to holy damage and the fact that Elden Beast get healed by holy damage

Submit

I've found that due to the scaling it's a really good offhand for powerstancing, Especially on a faith arcane build, used a blood infused greatedsword with it to kill Melania

Submit

what a cool ass greatsword with an equally cool ash of war why would they seriously gave it to some misbegottten chum that i've fought five times already wasted oppurtunity tbh

Submit

Since this sword was first given to Radagon by Rennala, it means this is actually a modified Darkmoom Greatsword, didn't expect to have two moonlights in one game eh

Submit

Anyone still feel like the 21 dex is supposed to be int? Like all the other golden order stuff is faith/int. Hell the description even indicates this may be a repurposed mlg, Telltale signs betray that this was once the greatsword bequeathed to him by his first wife, Rennala. this makes it feel like it should have the int scaling.

Is this the original Moon Greatsword, since it's given by Rennala (Carian queen) to her consort Radagon. Maybe it was remodelled by Radagon at some point to be a holy weapon instead a magic weapon?

Submit

They did a wonderful work with this sword in the new patch (1.04.1)! The salute explosion now deal 2/3rd of the arc's damage and the swing comes out so much faster than before. I was already using this sword on my paladin build, and now its even better!

Submit

What I’ve learned here is that people are really, really, obsessed with killing skeletons more easily. So much so they go find a special weapon to do it.

Is it really that big of a deal to hit them one more time on the ground during the very generous window they take to come back?

Submit

Weapon art is now absolutely devastating, as the cast time is halved, the swings are faster, and you now have hyper armour while using it.

PSA, You need to use the weapon arts twice in a row to actually fire the sword wave, the first press is just an AOE blast.
