Greatsword of Radahn (Lord) | Elden Ring Wiki

This lord version and the light version should have been single weapons and if you get both and power stance them the AOWs would combine and work like a stance where l2+r1 is lord's aow and l2+r2 is light's aow or something, its so weird to separate them into two different paired weapons.

Honestly the design made me sad too. They could have kept the gravity theme but still made them look way different. I dunno some unique boss weapon or maybe even miquella’s catalyst. I don’t wanna call From lazy, but having 3 similar looking, paired remembrance swords in the game seems that way almost.

Submit

So, for those wondering, the ash of war does Magic damage, not Holy

Also with how this thing hits, I've yet to find an enemy (or boss, but I haven't done much boss testing, I need to check the Fire Giant) that isn't stance broken by the AoW chain alone, if you wanna speed it up for chain space breaks, use the Stonebarb Cracked Tear, if you want more damage output, any from the Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear, Thorny Cracked Crystal Tear, or the new Bloodsucking Cracked Tear.

Or if you're like me and want to facetank everything and walk out fine: the Crimson-Sapping Cracked Tear and Cerulean-Sapping Cracked Tear.
You'll be hitting so much that you'll essentially pull a Melania restoring your health and FP, just chaining non stop till whatever you hit is dead.

Side note, after the initial startup, this thing has bonkers hyper armor

Gee Radahn, Miyazaki lets you get THREE swords?

Submit

These need at least a B scaling for DEX and STR to feel remotely rewarding lmao

Submit

The most annoying thing about fighting someone with this weapon is you don't know if they have the lord or light version until they start using it...

Submit

Really disappointed with the damage output. Decided to go all in with these and build my high-level character around them with 80 STR, 80 DEX, and 42 (the rest) INT, meaning I had perfect stats for this weapon. Turns out that even with this ideal setup, it loses out to the Starscourge Greatsword damage-wise (970 vs 979 damage). Just insane that the reward for beating the most difficult boss ever is an inferior version of a mid-game boss weapon.

Submit

They seriously did a copy of the twin prices from 8 years ago but couldn't bother to include the part where you can combine both weapons into one? Cmon we didn't need 3 of these just for weapon arts.

Submit

a bit unfair in pvp, from what I see its a true combo throughout the whole combo and has very high poise.

Submit

The ash of war on this one is like 1000 times better than the other one because it actually does damage.

Submit

does the ash on this deal holy damage?

Submit

Mid

Fromsoft missed a big opportunity to make a unique moveset and have these be curved greatswords vs the larger one you get from Radahn the first time. Give us Twinned curved greatsword moveset! Combine the weapon arts on the two weapons into one, curved greatsword moveset and these swords would easily be my favorite. As is now, Pontiff 2.0 blades are better....and proof they could do it too.

Submit

Did some testing and it seems the AoW damage is physical/magic NOT HOLY. Damage scales with your str/dex/int stats but seems like quality scales better than str/int or dex/int. It does get boosted by the magic boosting physick as well. Does get a very slight boost from circlet of light but it's only like 3 extra damage.

Submit

so you're telling me we DONT get the fly up in the air with gravity rocks, on EITHER sword, because it HAS to be two swords, with very similar moves, no faith scaling btw, right...................

Some PSA for people interested on using this weapon.

Malenia's Great Rune has amazing synergy with the AoW of this weapon.

Each of the small pillars of light of the AoW will trigger the health recovery of the rune. You can trade without loosing any health. Using endure and quickly swapping to this weapon to use the AoW works wonders against big moves from some enemies.

Multi hit talismans also work very well with this weapon, when using the paired moveset and the AoW. They work much better with paired weapons than if you used normal weapon dual wielded. Damage builds up much faster and Godskin swaddling cloth will also trigger frequently for more heal recovery.

Sacrificial Axe or Serpent Curved Sword are also amazing offhand weapons to have, as you will recover FP or health when killing enemies.

Carian talisman + the new passive fp regen talisman + offhand Sacrificial Axe = AoW can be used now as if it were the regular light combo of the weapon

Submit

Does anybody know if Miquella's light from the Ash of War scales with Intelligence or Faith? I know the weapon itself scales with Strength. Dex, and Intelligence, but the AOW is so confusing to figure out.

Submit

Has anyone figured out how the AOW scales yet? Currently making a build for this.

Submit

Does the Miquella lights produced by the AOE get boosted by the Circlet Of Life? Says in the item description of the Circlet "While also boosting the power of Miquellas light.

Submit

damn the aow seems hella good in pvp

Submit

why are there ****ing 2 of these man, this easily could have just been one weapon

Submit

these things suck in pvp, way too slow really needs buffs tbh

Submit

"the swords of a lord who does not rely on physical strength and gravity alone." What else does this lord rely on? Apparently, miquella's light. More evidence he was not being controlled. These swords imply his autonomy.

Submit

It's an ultra great sword, that looks like a curved greatsword, that requires and scales (as usual with Radahn) with Strength, Dext and Int, while the ash of war is holy ????
For some reason it has a second variant with everything identical except the ash of war ? Why not put both ash of war into the same weapon like Renalla's weapon ?

What a big letdown for the final boss weapon. It's not even a side grade to the old Radahn sword, as crag blade is a way better ash of war.

Submit

They couldn't even be bothered to make a unique moveset for these, it's literally the final final boss's weapon

Submit

Why are both swords Strength and Int instead of faith when he's using literal holy light from Miquella?

Submit

This weapon is not that great in pvp. Literally pick any other weapon than this.

Submit

scales C with str and dex at +10

Submit

it took me so long to beat him for these swords, i will never fight this man again

Submit

I blew a huge load when I realized I could become radan , the best boss fromsoft ever made. Best sword in the game

Submit

If someone has this weapon, can they test the AoW in pvp? From some videos I've watched it seems that the AoW is a pseudo true combo, as even though you can roll in between, its very hard to get out of its AoE. I saw one video where the full combo did 2k damage with very large AoE which seems way too OP.

Submit

These new swords are very mid….disappointing

Submit

both swords have immaculate drip combined with the death knight armour

Submit

Requires are wrong Str 32 Dex 24 Int 15 and no Fai

Submit

This and the light version have their requirements swapped. Larval tear wasted, thanks Fextralife!

Submit

So now we have 3 different variants of the same sword, 2 of which just have a different light beam ash attack. Truly the most Kevin game of all time...

Submit

sword of radahn when getting his ass kicked by morgott in the opening cutscene?

Submit

Literally just got started with the DLC, and this already looks miles better than the Starscourge Greatsword! Can't Wait to get this and try it out on PVP!

This one has the better unique skill in my opinion but too early to tell for sure.

Submit

Requires 12 faith but scales in int. What am I even looking at?

Tapped to read the skill and cloudflare told me I'm blocked from fextralife? What?
