Golden Order Greatsword | Elden Ring Wiki

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.

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

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

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"
