Golden Order Greatsword | Elden Ring Wiki

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.

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

Submit

Can you drop this to other players

Submit

How the hell did this ended up in the hands of Misbegotten

Submit

-golden order greatsword (int/faith)
-made of light
-originally an int weapon

*looks inside*

has weight
physical damage
no int scaling

Submit

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.

Submit

>"{greatsword made of light"
>doesnt shield pierce
>weighs 10
ok.

Submit

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.

Submit

Bye bye Death Rite Birds

Submit

When you want a cool Faith weapon but fromsoft said : 21 dex

Submit

wish this worked like a greatsword version of the coded sword

Submit

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?

Submit

This greatsword DESTROYS Deathrite Birds.

Submit

Why isn’t it INT/FTH like the spells

Submit

Moonlight greatsword if it was cool and a faith weapon

Submit

LOOK, IT'S JOHN ELDEN RING! MR. ELDEN RING HIMSELF!

Submit

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

Submit

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

Submit

faith users version of the moonlight greatsword but not as good

Submit

This will be beast in DLC centered around Deathblight and Deathroot.

Submit

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.

Submit

Why do so many legendary armaments drop from misbegotten

Submit

"Greatsword made of light."
Weight: 10.0
Welp, guess we just figured out how much light weighs, boys. Let's go home, pizza's on me.

Submit

technically a Light Saber :V

Submit

this is literally a massive upgrade from the moonlight greatsword

Submit

A Golden Order weapon that doesn't scale off both Int and faith isn't a Golden Order weapon it's just a regular faith weapon.

Submit

This is some heavy light.

Submit

You’d think that since this was a moonlight greatsword, it would scale both off of int and fai

Submit

am i gonna say it? yeah........i feel like this should have been the weapon that the elden beast uses, Like instead of using the sacred relic sword use it, and explain in the lore that radagon gave it to the beast over his hammer, not sure what you would do with the sacred relic sword after but thats my opinion.

Submit

Gotta love the fact this is actually the Moonlight Greatsword we all know but reforged by Radagon

Submit

aw hell nah, we out here hittin people with the got damn elden ring

Submit

oddly more of an elden ring sword than sacred relic

Submit

Hey PvPers, listen not to the naysayers! 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!

Submit

Kinda weird how this one isn't pure holy like Coded Sword and Cipher Pata, since it doesn't have any physical components.

Submit

theres already so many faith greatswords, why couldn't this be fth int?

Submit

This thing in invasions isn't actually as bad as I thought it would be. 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

Submit

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.

Submit

Nothing about this weapon matters except that it does holy damage. Making it worthless.

Submit

golden order spells scale with int/faith yet the actual sword scales only off of int, why fromsoft?!!?

Submit

AKA The Logo Greatsword,

Submit

Needing to do the whole animation is dumb and kills yet another legendary weapon.. should've either gotten a buff like dmgs or been chain castable

Submit

Really? All golden order spells scale off int and fai but Radagon said **** it, faith only

Submit

Sucks that faith is trash in pve fromsoft has no idea what they're doing

Submit

In PVP this thing is pretty raunchy.
Lag makes the wave timing not match up with the visual so you can still get hit, not to mention it’s range its ridiculous. It’s easily avoidable with a good connection, but if not don’t bother dodging just block or something.

Submit

I love this thing, however the 2nd part of its AoW is really bad.
I wish it's AoW was just the explosion, and then it buffed your R2s to shoot beams like DMGS.

Submit

Coolest looking weapon in the game imo

Submit

Looks like Troll Knight's Greatsword, not the Darkmoon Greatsword. That is probably more interesting as well.

Submit

Why the **** does this not have the same sword beam buff with the AoW as dark moon greatsword, but with holy instead of magic? 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.

Submit

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.
