Legendary Armaments are some of the most powerful Weapons that you can find in Elden Ring. To unlock the Legendary Armaments trophy and achievement, you need to find all 9 Legendary Weapons available:
(Note: If you've collected all the weapons but game still didn't grant you the achievement, try loading and unloading all the weapons into the chest.)

 

All nine legendary weapons available in Elden Ring

      6/9 of these are swords, i guess it makes sense but i wish there was some more variety with the weapon types

        So there is one straight sword on this list (requires 24 INT and 24 FTH ), while there are 3 greatswords and one colossal sword.

        Well balanced, FromSoft.

          So the black blade, which was used to slay Godwyn and pretty much kickstarted the events of the game, isn’t legendary, but the sword that looks like a giant pine cone makes the list. Aight then

            Of course I miss the Bolt of Gransax on my character... So I'm gonna have to do it on another (I'm saving this character for the dlc)

              How on earth is the Eclipse Shotel legendary, but the Godslayer's Greatsword, which literally has the god killing powers of the black flame, is not?

              • Anonymous

                What always tripped me out about the Sword of Night and Flame is that it's one of the most powerful weapons in the game, yet it's not locked behind a questline or even a key item and it's the only legendary armament where you don't even have to fight a single enemy to get it.

                  The Eclipse Shotel weapon can be found at the following location:

                  Castle Sol: Found at the altar of the church in the southeast section of the castle.
                  Not in a chest

                          Ranking from Worst-to-Best imo:

                          9.) Eclipse Shotel - (This thing is a joke. Death Blight only works in PvP and is next to impossible to reliably proc)
                          8.) Devourer's Scepter - (Weapon skill is meh in PvE, completely worthless in PvP as it's slow and very easy to dodge/punish)
                          7.) Grafted Blade GS - (Weapon skill is just odd, unsure what they were going for as attack/defense gain is negligible.)
                          6.) Golden Order GS - (Holy damage is terrible to begin with, overall damage is ok but the weapon skill takes eons to wind up leaving you open)
                          5.) Marais Executioner's Sword - (Very good weapon skill that can be buffed even further with several talismans, though fairly predictable in PvP.)
                          4.) Ruins Greatsword - (Awesome in PvE, charged L2's are great and a very powerful weapon skill though tricky to land in PvP outside of luck.)
                          3.) Sword of Night and Flame - (Both weapon skills do insane damage on a well-built character w/ appropriate talismans, though the triple split damage is a mixed bag.)
                          2.) Bolt of Gransax - (Granddaddy of one-shots, buffed by so many different things it feels illegal to use at max power. Power in simplicity.)
                          1.) Dark Moon GS - (This thing is god-like in PvE. S tier damage, builds up frostbite and the buffed L2's are legendary. Viable enough in PvP. Iconic weapon.)

                            Can I still get this achievement if the items are on different characters? Or does it all need to be on one guy like in ds3?

                                For getting the achievement on PS, does it count over multiple playthroughs? I.e. one playthrough has GOGS but bc of goldmask ending has no DMGS

                                        Very bad design choice to make only some of the weapons that have a golden glow on the banner and a legendary item noise when collected a legendary armament.. should’ve either given them a unique color and sound upon obtaining or made Godslayer Greatsword and black knife legendary armaments as well to avoid confusion. Half the comments in here are people saying Godslayer and black knife are legendary armaments and the other half are people correcting them

                                          One thing I’ll never understand is why mogh’s sacred spear and the freaking GODSLAYER greatsword aren’t legendary armaments. Also the blasphemous blade feels much more legendary than the devourers scepter as it is quite possibly the strongest pve weapon in the entire game and the signature weapon of Rykard. And why do the misbegotten seem to have like half of the legendary armaments.

                                            there is a fork in the kitchen room in Stormveil Castle that is missing from this list, it's a really well made fork, I think the game devs missed it because it's pretty legendary tbh

                                              I haven't played it since the end of last year, 2022, but the godslayer greatsword and the black knife were absolutely not legendary weapons. ALL of them have "one of the legendary weapons" in their description. Regardless of what idiots would have you believe.

                                                Don't mean to sound sarcastic or anything but after reading the comments, kind of surprised that some people are unsure of what weapons are legendary or not. If you read the description for each weapon it tells if it's legendary or not. It will say something like "One of the Legendary armaments" or something like that. By no means am I am Elden Ring master, but seems pretty straight forward on what is/isn't legendary. I wasn't sure how many weapons were legend, so wanted to check before I went on a wild goose chase.

                                                  what's missing is the black knife and godslayer greatsword (colossal weapon). If someone can edit that in, please do. Also if you still dont get it, try leaving the items and picking them back up. It worked for me.

                                                    I can personally attest that the Godslayer's Greatsword counts as a Legendary Armament as well as the Black Knife
                                                    I had picked up the Ruins GS, Golden Order GS, Eclipse Shotel, Darkmoon GS, Devourer's Scepter, Grafted GS, Marais Executioner's Sword, Godslayer's GS and Black Knife. I missed the Gransax's Bolt on my first playthrough and I didn't even find the SoNaF until my third playthough

                                                      I have all the legendary armaments but no trophy. Tried the following workarounds:

                                                      - Dropping & picking back up
                                                      - Stashing & retrieving from chest
                                                      - Equipping & unequipping
                                                      - Upgrading all at least once
                                                      -Even tried collecting a couple of them again on NG+

                                                      Very frustrating :( if anyone has any other suggestions I could try it would be much appreciated.

                                                      I think my save is perma bugged so I'll have to start a new save and get my friend to drop them all?

I'm not going through the game a 4th time just to pick up a weapon and get a platinum trophy. 3/10 Trophy List, from soft. Tbh your trophy lists besides Bloodborne & Sekiro are garbage due to the "multiplayer items" & "missable items"

                                                                Is the black knife also legendary, like I just got it but it isn’t on this list. I heard someone say apparently that there are two types of legendary but I’m confused

                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                  1. ruins great sword- semi-unique gravity abilities but there's already a few weapons that have that gimmick, as well as a whole school of sorcery. Maybe ledgendary. Mysterious great sword that fell from the heavens with odd powers is certainly enough to be of some local pride at least, especially as it relates to the local demigod.

                                                                  2.Elcipse shotel- A proper object of worship, VERY important to castle sol and likely the surrounding area. More unique powers than the ruins greatsword in inflicting death blight. I'd say that this is definitely Legendary weapon, even if it sucks ass as actual weapon.

                                                                  3. Grafted blade Greatsword. In-lore, very important to castle morne and it's commander, Edgar. Effective as a weapon. Game of thrones reference. I'm not sure how far it's fame would reach, but I reckon everyone who knows of castle morne knows of the grafted great-sword and it's tale. Definitely legendary.

                                                                  4.Sword of night and flame. Highly unique sword hailing back to before Raya Lucaria was even established. and fairly powerful as a weapon to boot. Legendary treasure of the Carian family, no question about it. Important both in it's craftsmanship and historical meaning.

                                                                  5.Maris Executioner's sword- Ehhh, maybe. This sword was from house Marias, and executed a great many people, but it's cool cattle skills were only added after it was stolen, and House Marias was a sickly one, so it likely didn't see battle before it's theft. Similar to the eclipse shotel as more of a badge of office than an actual weapon, and doubtful that it's renown spread very far outside of the shaded castle. If the game took place a little later, it might well be known as the Briar sword or the bell bearing hunter's sword.

                                                                  6. Dark moon Greatsword- Weirdly enough, I don't think anyone outside Ranni's inner circle knows about this weapon. It's Ranni's wedding sword, and I'm willing to assume that if she was married before it would have come up, so we're probably among the first people to ever lay eyes upon it. If you're going for the age of night ending, this sword's legend is yours to create.

                                                                  7. Devourer's scepter. Another "local legend" sort of weapon, not too different from the ruins greatsword. However Rykard's visions and even current form are something the volcano manor keeps very hush-hush. Of massive importance to volcano manor, probably purposely kept unknown outside of that.

                                                                  8. Golden order greatsword. This one is weird- Radagon uses a hammer when we fight him, and this sword is found lost in an ice cave, in the possession of a misbegotten that Radagon or his heirs would never have given the sword to. I don't know if this was ever actually wielded by Radagon, or how it even ended up in the forbidden lands in the first place (remember, Godfrey killed the fire giants, not Radagon.) Probably not well-known in this age if there's no-one talking about it anymore.

                                                                  9. Bolt of gransax. The spear wielded by the giant dragon that still lies upon the capitol? The only time the great golden capitol Lyndell was ever breached? The weapon whose weapon art is basically just "delete"?. Yeah, people heard about this. People heard about this one a lot. Lots of legends about this one.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    • Anonymous

I assumed I was missing one Bc I haven’t beaten the game and thought maybe the final sword was one of them until a summon dropped me the grafted blade sword and I got the achievement even tho I already have that sword. What on earth is that about ?

                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                      Why is 5/9 of these just greatsword/colossal swords? A player that doesn't invest in strength is essentially gated from using half of the legendary armaments.

                                                                                      It's quite creatively lacking that they have to reuse "big sword" so many times. It's LEGENDARY. If weapon creativity and wildness should be on display, its there.

                                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                                        I am on Xbox, had literally just killed Elmer of the Briar and got his sword, bringing me to 8/9 weapons, and it just handed me the achievement. Probably a bug.

                                                                                        • Anonymous

I changed the settings to sort them according to the damage they do, Bolt of gransax was at the top of the menu along with some daggers. None of the other spears I have were anywhere near it. Is this because I don't meet the DEX requirement to use BoG, so the menu is filtering it according to how much damage it would do with my current attributes?

I get why swords/melee weapons are easily made into legendary items but even as someone who doesn't really use magic often, it's a bummer to see that there isn't any particularly cool caster item apart from the Dark Moon Greatsword, which isn't a catalyst.

                                                                                                  When I got the last one, achievement didn't trigger.

                                                                                                  Dropped all of them and uppon picking the upgraded one, I got the achievement.

                                                                                                  • Anonymous

However, the game seems to have trouble recognizing that you have weapons from previous cycles sometimes. I had this issue with the Grafted Blade Greatsword, which I got during my first playthrough and got the last weapon I needed during NG+3. If this happens, drop the problem weapon(s) on the ground and pick them back up, or deposit them in your storage and take them back out.

Why is the Lanseax's Glaive not a legendary considering its backstory? This hurts my brain........

I put dark moon, golden order, Marais, grafted, ruins, night and flame, and regalia of eochaid in the grace chest. Then I got it. So I’m not sure what happened. I put elchaid in since I mess up eochaid and marais in my mind.
