Sword wrought from the remains of a god who should have lived a life eternal.

Thoughts on what the weapon portends are many and varied. Some consider it the mark of a great sin, or a sign of great devastation. Some think of it as the end of an age, while others; the beginning.

      If you are thinking about using this for any kind of PvP, and you have any sense of sportsmanship... please don't. The Wave of Gold ash has visual desync, even on good connections but especially on less than perfect ones, and anyone you throw this at essentially has to guess the correct roll timing or eat 1400 damage. It's extremely unpleasant and very literally broken.

        I think this should become buffed like the Darkmoon Greatsword after the ash of war so you can shoot out projectiles with the heavy like how the Elden best does with that one attack. I think this would reduce how often people try to spam the ash and just make it cooler. idk how it would be balanced but its just a passing thought.

            This sword is WAY better than the moonlight greatsword. I'm getting a 831 AR with 99 faith and 60 dex. I'll probably be getting 900 AR when I get 99 dex. People are sleeping on this sword.

                For some reason both of my Sacred Relic Swords disappeared from my inventory. I did not sell them, they are not in my chests, and Iā€™ve looked through 4+ times. Is this a bug? They are just gone from my inventory.

                • Anonymous

                  as a disclaimer, I do not use Moonveil and have no love for it. *however*. it is nicely designed as an INT weapon that can enjoy additional damage from DEX. this is because most of its damage is magic, and its strongest scaling is INT, which affects the magic damage. the physical scaling is, all told, just gravy really. this sword and a few others in ER (blasphemous, death's poker is the most egregious example) betray that design. it is primarily physical damage and scales strongest with DEX, but this is a FTH weapon. why? because its L2 scales only with FTH. this contributes heavily to L2 meta. if I am a pure FTH build, of course I would want this weapon in my repertoire, Wave of Gold is very strong. but as a FTH character, any Sacred-infused greatsword, GOGS, or Inseperable will do significantly more damage with right bumper attacks. so realistically, all I should ever do with this weapon is Wave of Gold, then put it away if I want to do other attacks. and that's boring

                  • Starting your first NG+ and then rampaging through the main gate of Stormveil and all the way up directly to Godrick, blasting through their entire defensive line each time using Wave of Gold really makes you feel like you're using the the weapon of a God.

                    Probably my new favorite weapon 10/10

                                I think we need an "Albinauric Blood Stained" Variant of this as a joke. Maybe it can do a cool thing like extra damage against albinaurics or apply a no drink effect on the ash of war like the albinauric pot does. or its just a useless weapon that's more meant as a joke like I said before. (i totally don't intend this to be real just thought it would be funny or cool if it did happen bc why not)

                                  Its range alone makes it a good option for pvp. The ash isn't the best but is a decent option for zone control and bringing some much needed chaos to a map when outnumbered.

                                    imagine being the servant beast of the equivalent of god in the lands between, physical incarnation of the concept of order and unmatched except by other absurdly op beings like placidusax and probably astel, only to have your sword who you make out of your former host/ servant to fight some random nobody with ends up only being used to farm underground frog men and gank

                                        The fact that it's visibly made from the body of Radagon to the point that you can see the hand and the ribcage, is delightfully creepy to me. Great design. Now, if its moveset could have been a little more varied except of being basic greatsword...

                                          If you're doing co-op and killing undead, I recommend having the Epitaph sword and using its aow buff, then switch to the relic sword and there ya go; Anti Skelli Killer

                                            Does the sword swing after 2-second wind-up of the AoW that sends the gold wave deal physical damage or it does have no hitbox at all?

                                                By a large margin the absolute best PVE weapon in the game, unfortunately you only get it after finishing the game, I hope I will be able to use in the new DLC

                                                                            I use this sword for the rune farm at palace approach road and for the groups of the wandering noble sorcerers that use teleportation to hit and run from all directions then vanish before I can get close enough for melee. I summon Therolina if I run into a revenant in need of getting a brand new arsehole ripped. What I find interesting, in a non judgemental way, are the comments here from players who complain and cry nerf at first mention of moonveil and rivers of blood when 'wave of gold' is many times worse than 'corpse piler' or 'transient moonlight' when you consider the range and width of the wave and the absolutely mental damage 'wave of gold' can do with high FTH, two fingers heirloom, shard of Alexander, ritual sword and sacred scorpion talismans, cast golden vow incantation, and use the physik with faith and holy damage tears. With that set up at volcano manor, the fire monk outside the temple of eiglay takes just over two thousand five hundred, first man-serpent to the right of prison town church takes three thousand one hundred and fifty six, the dogs around the corner take three thousand eight hundred plus small change. I'm not doing two respecs just to test 'corpse piler' and 'transient moonlight' but I'd be surprised to see that kind of damage from either, maybe moonveil could with a similar set up geared towards INT instead of FTH. I know TML comes out very quickly but neither TML or CP's effective range is anywhere near what WoG is capable of and that's without the width of the wave making it considerably harder to get out of the way of it if a player quickly switched to the relic sword and got the weapon art off before you could close on them.
                                                                            Like I said I'm not judging, but it's strange that you don't hear anyone complain about this sword and its weapon art when it can easily be spammed and do massive damage with no skill required.

                                                                            • Anonymous

But it's a f**king travesty of a design decision or oversight that this sword and its weapon art out of all weapons in the game that do holy damage does not put undead down permanatly. I found this out the hard way by dying to the beastmen skeletons at Farum Azula.
