Golden Order Greatsword | Elden Ring Wiki

I do enjoy using this weapons skill BUT its pretty slow in my opinion

Pros: looks very cool, comes in handy when a hoard of skeletons is in front of you

Cons: quite literally everything else

just use a sacred infused banished knight gs with sacred blade on it, it's better than this ****

Gotta love skills that consume half of you FP bar, half of your stamina bar and require your enemy to do absolutely nothing for 5 seconds to be effective

-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

Submit

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.

Submit

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

Submit

why does this thing need 21 dex?

Submit

the nerdy over-fixation on weird details in these comments lol. it's a big glowing golden holy sword and it shoots a big beam, you're not allowed to complain. hit a big group of enemies or someone in pvp with the beam, you'll cream your pants and stop worrying about whatever arbitrary little number or scaling letter has you tearing your hair out

Submit

Golden Order Weapon: Check
Doesn’t scale with both Int and Faith.

Submit

Say what you want about this weapon, but dual wielding it along side Darkmoon Greatsword looks absolutely awesome and solves the INT Faith build dilemma somewhat.

Submit

If Dark Souls 2 made this weapon it would scale with your number of Great Runes and each new one would visibly appear on the blade

Submit

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. Granted there were some stupid ones like Farron Greatsword spamming and Pontiff Curved Sword, but PvP just doesn't feel the same / nearly as enjoyable for me :(

Not complaining about this weapon's bad scaling but why a GREATSWORD primarily scales with Dex tho?

Radagon didn't forge an epic greatsword, he just put order's blade on a troll knight sword

Haters gonna hate. Top 3 coolest looking weapon in the game facts

Submit

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!

Submit

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.

Missed int/fai weapon opportunity

>"Greatsword made of light, modeled after the Elden Ring itself"

Submit

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.

I swear it's just a general rule at fromsoft that anything which looks cool has to be useless, and anything which looks awful has to have some of the best stat boosts/performance

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.

Submit

definitely puts the L in legendary armaments

Submit

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.

GSGS really is the poster child for both faith and holy damage. aow that looks cool but takes 4 days to cast, costs an absurb amount and does no damage, just like incantations usually do. Weapon that looks really cool and made of light but weighs alot for no reason and is really weak with the strongest part about it being weapon type and making you regret ever using it in the late game as you consistently do less damage to bosses than what you did at lvl 60.

Slow as snailshit weapon art

Submit

I was super excited to get this weapon for a pure faith build, only to find out that 1. It has super high stat requirements, 2. The weapon art is flashy, but lot particularly useful, and 3. Inseparable sword has a better moveset in 2h anyways.

Seriously, this thing is a disappointment. The explosion from the weapon art is too slow to be of any use, and using the follow up eats your fp for less damage than you'd get using an incantation. The scaling of the weapon is strange as well, where for some reason it relies partially on dex? Use inseparable sword if you want a somber holy greatsword, or you can swap to blasphemous blade since the requirements are justified on that weapon.

Submit

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.

Submit

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.

Submit

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.

Submit

Using this because it looks cool >>> using something else with better scaling

Submit

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.

Submit

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

Submit

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

Submit

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.

Very slept on weapon idc what anyone says lol

Submit

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)

Submit

if this thing is made out of pure light why does it weight 10 pounds?

Submit

-"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

Submit

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.

Submit

21 dex for D scaling, yeah definitely sounds worth it

Submit

MLGS but a smelly dex weapon

Submit

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.

Submit

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

Submit

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.

Submit

when the fundamentalist's sword isn't int/fth

Submit

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.

Submit

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.

Submit

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?

Submit

Ashbringer of the Soulsborne series

Submit

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.

Submit

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.

Submit

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?

wasnt this in ds3?

Submit

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.

Submit

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.

Submit

I don't quite understand this weapon, It's dropped way later in the game than it would need to be to have any potential usefulness.

Submit

"Greatsword made of light" weighs 10.
"Deals +20% damage to undead icon 40px Undead type enemies and prevents Skeletons from reviving" When you already finished every possible catacomb and there is no undead left to kill.
To top it all off has holy damage skill and every single late game boss is practically immune to holy damage.
WHAT THE ****.

Submit

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.
