Golden Order Greatsword is a Greatsword in Elden Ring. The Golden Order Greatsword scales primarily with Dexterity and Faith, with minor scaling in Strength. It is a versatile Weapon that can deal considerable amount of Holy damage both in melee and at medium range.

 

Greatsword made of light, modeled after the Elden Ring itself.
Forged by King Consort Radagon to proudly symbolize the tenets of the Golden Order.
One of the legendary armaments.

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

      In my first playthrough, I decided I should beat Radagon with his own sword, since my character was a golden order fundamentalist. I was dealing less than 300 damage per 2hR1, so it was pretty difficult, especially for a first timer that came from a slow game such as ds1. I am more proud of this than I am of me defeating Malenia with this same weapon for my first time as well.

        This weapon would be S tier if its requirements were 12 str and dex, 30 int and faith.
        Then changed it to 150 + 54 physical (E and E), 231 +210 magic and holy (B and B) for 1086 AR (71 higher than the blasphemous blade). Finally, changed its aow by removing the stupid salute that never hits anything. Change it to three inputs of 10, 10 and 10
        and make the waves not hit the ground and actually what you are aiming at with each input sending out a wave of light.

          this weapon makes no sense. why does it require 21 dex, why does it have weight, why does it do physical damage, why does a misbegotten have it

              Honestly I love this weapon, in pvp, either the invader forgets the follow up or you are completely stunlocked (not sure because was never used against me) and it’s a satisfying kill with the ash of war follow up. The only thing I wish was this weapon gave a natural healing regen, just having it equipped you have a health regan buff indefinitely.

                While Radagon's totally original Sunlight Greatsword™ is comparable to the moonlight/ dark moon Greatsword due to its origins, it is still its own weapon.

                The main issue with this magic hunk o' runes is that while being a legendary armament forged by a god while utilizing a sacred satellite fragment, it's scaling is abysmal when compared to a sword that was used by two very close brothers.

                If this weapon wishes to prioritize holy damage, then it should have at least a mid to high A in faith as well as some more generous physical stats. After all, legendary and remembrance weapons are made to have higher than average scaling by design. If the blasphemous blade can get away with this, then it shouldn't be much of an issue.

                To end my odd rant, I wish to tackle the weapon art. It's bad. If a weapon made mimicking the grand macguffin of the game can only explode and reuse sacred blade to a poor extent, then it is not worth being a chunk of weighted light. I propose that it's similarities to the elden ring may grant it a unique property. Perhaps the ash of war could go without the big laser sword and capitalize on the initial explosion, allowing it to instead buff it's wielder via the activation of their equipped great rune for around 45 seconds. I believe this would make up for the horrible start-up and allow for a fun mechanic to balance this sad little glow stick.

                  Perfect for PvP, nobody remembers that the follow-up exists since this never gets used...for a good reason

                    Too bad it ain't on par with the dark moon sword. From should add int scaling or perhaps put strength on c

                      I feel like this weapon was designed before FromSoft decided to make Golden Order fundamentalism an investment of intelligence and faith. I can think of no other reason why they wouldn't add an intelligence scaling to it.

                        Inseparable Sword also exists and it's better in every possible way compare to this weapon and you can get it much much earlier. It has both numbers, moveset and better ashe of war. It looks cool tho.

                          The weight isn't really an issue for me, even if silly but the requirements and stats need a rework. I'd say bring Dex requirements down to 13 and make it E in scaling, then give it a int scale with the same requirements as faith. Both being C scaling (B at max level)

                          • Anonymous

                            -"Golden Order" - doesn't primeraly scale with Faith and Int
                            -"Greatsword" - 21 dex requirement
                            -It's made out of golden light - weights 10 miyazakis

                            The only value this item can have are its few description lines and the lore they add

                            • A greatsword with E strength scaling, a higher Dex requirement than strength despite having D scaling, and it still weighs 10.0 despite being made of light. I ... I think I see how it ended up in the cave. Awesome weapon, but what on earth are those requirements and scaling numbers? And on a legendary weapon? At least it's cool and does amazing holy damage... Until you get past the very next story boss (fire giant) and every boss is 40 - 80% resistant to holy for the rest of the game. I have so many questions as to why they did this to such a cool weapon. I still love it, but this is certainly a choice.

                                I really like this sword. After seing both Marika and Radagon Great Runes on it all I can think of is how great it would be to be able to add others collected runes here as well.

                                • Beautiful looking weapon and one of my favourites aesthetically in the whole entire game…. Unfortunately not the most viable and am hoping it gets a buff/rework in the future

                                    So both this and MLGS have pretty steep soft caps at 50. A little tough for 150 but you can fit a nice 52/50 int faith stat spread with 60 vigor in the 168 meta range. I’ve only ever tried it on my first character that ended up being way over leveled. Would love to do a 168 invasion build powerstancing the two and throw in some golden order incant cheese and maybe slicer. Also everyone talks crud about holy cause late game boss resistances but dang. This thing SLAPS trash mobs everywhere except haligtree. The dang thing has wrath of gold built in. Just a little slower.

                                      Looks amazing, but sadly isn't all that great. A couple of nice changes might be: make it a hybrid INT/FAI weapon, to fit into Order builds, make the skill deal a bit of Physical damage to help make up for Holy's inconsistency in the late game, and maybe make it weigh less/nothing, considering it's made out of light.

                                        Since this is clearly Rennala's Full Moon Greatsword, but instead perverse due to Radagon's tampering and turning it into the Golden Order Greatsword, I kind of wish it had Int + Faith scaling in order to be in line with the Golden Order Seal/Incantation scaling. There's only like 2 int/faith weapons (Sword of NF and Clayman Harpoon w/ Sacred), so it'd be nice if this was another option.

                                          Probably one of the coolest greatswords in the game but is unfortunately not particularly good. It's weapon skill is pretty slow. The AR isn't particularly impressive and it deals mostly holy damage which is resisted by many of the bosses in the late game. The sword has virtually no niche where it shines comparatively to other greatswords. But at least it is not stuck with Sacred Blade eh?

                                            I have this feeling that this sword is not just an imitation, but that Radagon actually picked up a shard of the Elden Ring and reforged it into this sword.

                                              Would be cool if the dlc allowed you to re-reforge this into Rennala's greatsword, maybe something akin to the moonliht greatswords of older souls games.

                                                Absolutely love the look of this weapon. The WA is super slow if you want to hit the second half so I kind of wish it had a separate heavy and light WA. I wish that the initial blast would be L2 + R1 and the wave as L2 + R2. Also why do the Lionel misbegotten have a monopoly of legendary weapons?

                                                  I have been furious since the games release that this beauty of a sword scales more with dex than strength.

                                                    Why did radagon take an excellent Dark Moon Greatsword and turn it into a much worse weapon? Is he stupid?

                                                    • Well I was wrong, with the AoW buff from golden epitaph it is easy to deal over 5300 dmg on skeletons for the projectile to oneshot the giant skeleton.

                                                      • Similar to Golden Epitaph this is effect against skeleton type enemies and prevents them from reviving, The chip through damage is also decent against greatshield type enemies. However with 60 FTH it still requires to trade some hits to have two shots of projectile AoW to eliminate the larger type skeleton in Crumbling Farum Azula, and their hyperarmor is too strong to let the AOE AoW to be effective on them, but the projectile is strong enough to oneshot the lesser size skeletons.

                                                              Could get a comparable to FTH or lower INT scaling without a requirement in INT (weird I know) to still keep the door opened for pure FTH players, while opening a door for Golden Order fundamentalism scholars.

                                                              I also sincerely doubt that Misbegotten Crusader would be smart enough to wield this blade if it required INT :P

                                                              PS: Fun fact, this sword's description in Japanese is quite different when it comes to its creation, not mine but this was provided thanks to a certain u/lapis55.
                                                              - Golden Order Greatsword description, which suggests that he reforged Rennala's sword: そこには、最初の妻レナラから贈られた 大剣の面影があるというHere comes the problem: 面影 - has many meanings; modern ones such as vestige, traces, remnants, but also more archaic - in a memory of someone, reminder, looks, likeness. JP description isn't so straighforward, many native speakers think that he didn't reforged original sword, but made a copy of her gift.

                                                                  • Anonymous

This weapon kicks ass against other players, especially if paired with radagons rings of light as a bit of a trick. Use the explosion to hit anyone who’s too close for comfort, and the follow up slash if they dodge it, often times they don’t expect it or they dodge the fake out slash. Highly recommend!

                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                      • Anonymous

On my holy setup I mainly use this, 2 golden lightsabers and wrath of gold.. with the first hit stun being half decent and getting a little hyper armor the ash is a good trade bait and I catch more people in the wave after panic rolling if I can get them hit by the first part. Pretty fun

                                                                        • I don't get why this thing needs so much dex to wield. Neither do I understand the 10 weight units. It's pure light except the handle. But what makes absolutely no sense is it not scaling with int AND faith. It is a golden order weapon. All golden order spells need quite a lot of int investment. What a wasted opportunity to give golden order builds a good melee option. Even tho it's still very good without int scaling.

                                                                          • Anonymous

It’s easily avoidable with a good connection, but if not don’t bother dodging just block or something.

                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                  • Anonymous

If it did this would be the only weapon I ever use. I get that the DMGS's AoW is just the buff so it'd be a little weird to try and get them to be the same when they're already so different, but I'd ****in put up with slapping the DMGS's FP consumption on the 2nd input slash if it gave the buff.

                                                                                    • Anonymous

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.

                                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                                          • Anonymous

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.

                                                                                            • Anonymous

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.

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).

                                                                                                      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.

                                                                                                      • Anonymous

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.

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

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