Sword of Milos is a Greatsword in Elden Ring. The Sword of Milos scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity and is a good Weapon for casters because of its ability to restore FP.
Sinister greatsword fashioned from a giant's backbone.
Metes out wounds like a lopsided saw-blade, and restores some FP upon defeating an enemy.
Milos was undersized for a giant, and was viewed as sullied and terribly grotesque.
Where to Find Sword of Milos in Elden Ring
The Sword of Milos weapon can be found at the following location:
- Dropped by killing Dung Eater in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds if you choose to kill him here.
- Dropped by Dung Eater (NPC Invader) in the Capital Outskirts moat. He can be found in this location after releasing his corporeal body from his cell in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds and then reading his message at the Roundtable Hold. [Map Link]
- If the sword is dropped and lost (i.e. if the Tarnished is killed by the giant death crab before picking it up) it can still be acquired by killing Dung Eater's corporeal body in the Sewer Gaol (where he will now be tied to a chair), he will not drop the sword if you complete his questline.

Many say this weapon is underwhelming, especially compared to some meta setups. These people are wrong. First off, this babe is a greatsword, so it already belongs to a powerful weapon class. But this weapon has so much more to it, it's so versatile and all-around useful, some say it's the ultimate toolbox weapon but it is in fact a whole workshop. It has bleed! 55 seems low, especially compared to what arcane builds get, but this sword has no split damage and a certain schtick of that weapon makes it more than enough. The moveset. That thing probably has 2nd best greatsword moveset after Hollowslayer-type swords in ER, because of it's heavy attack. It's so good and allows you to space so well, that even longer swords pale in comparison. But my favorite thing about this sword is it's weapon art, which not only adds a debuff (that can be noticeable especially against soreseal users and PvE things already weak to something) and briefly stuns everything smaller than a crucible knight in a big radius (players too!), but also has high hyperarmor and adds a heavy attack combo akin to Barbaric roar that can be performed right out of the Shriek animation! (something other power shred stick, the Winged Greathorn, sorely lacks) And with this thing's damage, true quality scaling, debuff and bleed (that's where the 3-hit heavy attacks come in handy!), pve enemies, npc invaders and people who forget that roar combos can't be interrupted are straight up MURDERED while trying to trade (even bosses if you stack up defences). Between GS moveset, heavy and roar heavies, mixup possibilities are endless. And last but not least, a fp regen passive, which allows you to use weapon art freely while exploring or keep your health topped off with Bestial vitality. It is even more powerful for coop, since shred debuff lowers all resistances, allowing other players deal more damage to your foes, too, and unlike other options it is both versatile and has more hyperarmor, basically a Greyoll's roar in your pocket while also buffing the weapon itself. It can be buffed by many things, too! Axe talisman, Highland Axe, and Roar medallion make charged roar heavies from "powerful" to "3-tap death". Oh, and did I mention it's easy to get and looks friggin cool? An S tier weapon, not a "press wa button to win" type but deadlier than many meta stuff if you are flexible and know your babe well. Lack of a poke is kinda shame, but the running-up heavy makes up for it.

Pretty intereesting as a second sword in a PS greatsword build. It buffs you (and debuffs the enemy) as a weapon buff (power shred for the enemy), has a bleed passive, and keeps your FP topped up. Even if it's still bugged (which I don't know) -5% to them while buffing your own damage 7.5%+ is a completely worthwhile buff. Put a flamberge in your right hand if you want both to bleed and you can buff the right hand before encounters/ to taste regardless.

This along with scorpions stinger is a great combo, esp when you use the super it only takes a few swipes for them to get the scarlet rot, plus bleed it’s over

Conflicting information about whether this item can be buffed with magic or consumables, the notes and tips section says it can't, the upgrade section says it can. Checked myself, it can't. This wiki is riddled with a surprising quantity of problems.

Okay, but why is this weapon wielded such a swiss army knife? This sword was carved out of some poor giant's spine by a guy whose title is adjacent to "The Crap Consumer" and somehow it can do so many things at once.

Just want to clarify since I never did his quest before. You can both obtain the sword AND complete his questline in one playthrough?
How to make this weapon good if Fromsoft wanted to:
First step: Make it a pure Dex weapon, not a quality weapon
Second step: Make it enchantable to use with Bloodflame Blade
It could basically be a Bloodhound Fang for roar builds, but currently it's pretty lame.

Many people say this weapon is disappointing, especially compared to some meta versions. These people are wrong. First of all, this baby is a large sword, so it already falls into the category of a powerful weapon. But this weapon is so much more than that, it's so versatile and useful that some say it's the ultimate tool weapon, but in reality it's a complete workshop weapon. He's bleeding! 55 seems low, especially compared to arcane builds, but the sword doesn't reduce damage, and some of the weapon's skills make it more than adequate. A series of actions. Due to its powerful attack power, this thing probably has the second best sword move after ER's Hollow Killer type sword. It's so beautiful and gives you so much room that even the longest sword pales in comparison. But what I love most about this sword is its weapon, which not only adds debuffs (which is especially noticeable for Soreseal users and the already weak PvE stuff), but can also briefly stun anyone stronger than a Crucible Knight Something large and with a large radius. Something small (even for the player!) but also heavily armored and equipped with a heavy attack combo that resembles a brutal scene straight out of a Scream anime. (Another powerful Doom Scepter, Winghorn, lacks a lot) and with this thing's damage, decent scaling quality, debuffs and bleed (this is where 3 hits comes in handy!), PvE enemies, NPC invasions Players and people, those who forget that this roar will be hit by a combo that cannot be interrupted will kill you if you try to cast it (even on bosses if you stack defense). Between the GS moves, bomb grenades, and shouting, the possibilities for mayhem are endless. Last but not least, passive FP regeneration allows you to freely use weapon arts while exploring with beastly vigor or staying healthy. It's even more powerful for co-op because the grind debuff reduces all resistance, allowing other players to deal more damage to your enemies. Unlike the other options, it's more versatile, has more super armor, and basically the Greyo goggles in your bag just get better and better. The weapon itself can be improved through many things! The Ax Talisman, Highland Axe, and Roar Medallion produce powerful roars ranging from "Mighty" to "Three Touches of Death". Oh, did I mention it's easy to get and looks great? S class weapon, not the "press wa button to win" type, but if you're flexible and know your baby well, it's more deadly than a lot of meta stuff. The lack of thrust is a bit awkward, but the heavy running makes up for it.

From design it looks like Dung took a Lordsworn straight sword and pushed it through every single vertebrae of that poor "giant" from bottom to neck area since you can see remains of ribs on the end. I wonder how he made those bones calcificate together in one solid piece and how is it attached to guards because it doesn't look like pelvis.. Maybe I shouldn't think about it this deepely.. Anyway it fits nicely with Royal Remain set and Clinging bone. shame you can't change aow since it's just a Bragars roar with debuff you can do with Greyols roar..

"Restores 5 FP whenever you kill an Enemy"
Discus of Light= 3 FP
Faith Mask
Sacred Scorpion, Ritual Sword, Flocks Canvas, whatever Marika's Soreseal is good.
Buff using Golden Epitaphs Litany and Ash: Sacred Order(Erdsteel Dagger)
Equip this and +10 Golden Order Seal. Silly damage with good stats. Your go to spell is essentially free and actually gains you fp with each use.
* The FP is restored regardless of whether or not you have the skill to actually use the sword.
Of all weapons to be hit by and survive, this is not the one you want to choose.

This weapon sadly is underperforming compared to standard bleed infusions at what should be its special niche, The buff/debuff should last a minute like braggarts roar/other power shreds and the +5 virtual strength should of just been +5 strength. If the weapon was balanced like so it would of had situational use in co-op for level progress/bossing but in it's current setup 30 FP for a 15% reduced damage negation debuff is just awful compared to other power shreds, a flamberge which u can put any AoW on is much better then the Dung Eater's unique weapon. On another note in same patch they buffed this they made the Winged Greathorn, which is another co-op based power shred weapon that increases there damage taken by 15% last a whole minute with a FP cost of 12 which is actually good, this is another classic case of from shocking design decisions at work.

I wish the weapon art only altered the 2 handed r2 like braggarts roar, and keeping the uppercut r2 when one handed
Does this weapon skill (Shriek of Milos) act as a debuff aura that moves with your character or is this a stationary AOE debuff that only affects enemies within range?

Holy crap this thing is good. Debuffs your enemies, buffs your attack, restores FP on kills, inflicts bleed on top of having a three/four-hit heavy combo when self-buffed... From gave this thing hella love.

I like how this weapon, like the turtle shield, has a design that suits wearing it on your back for the passive effect. It's a spine! It's on your back! It makes some sense. No comment on actually using the weapon (I'm sure it's very fun with that Skill on it) but it's basically the best source of FP recovery in the game aside from those star shard things that are limited in supply. It refunds a whole bloodhound step! Or even 1.66 Discuses of Light. Or a swift glintstone shard. Obviously it also just "reduces" the cost of larger spells/skills (assuming they kill), and also obviously its relevance varies depending how many easy kills there are in wherever you are. Currently I'm using it on a character who only spends FP on BH Step and Bestial Vitality, and carries very few blue flasks and therefore appreciates the FP resupply.

While it's a different breed of weaponry, look up Demon's souls' Magic Sword "Makoto" and come back.

This combined with the sacrificial axe or great stars + takers cameo and/or ancestral spirits horn and maybe the royal remains set make excellent loadouts for exploring long dungeons if you're afraid of running out of flasks. Passive HP/FP restoration is never a bad thing in PVE.

Your technically dual wielding dead Fire Giants if you Dual Wield this with the Sacred Relic Sword.

Does the passive trigger when killing a skeleton once?
Or do you need to properly kill it when it is respwaning to get the fp?

Made a pretty crazy double greatsword build with this and a Cold Flamberge (127 frost buildup 50 bleed with 52 int), I use a golden vow dagger, flame grant me strength, Dex boost flask, and rotten winged sword talisman + hand of melania + Lord of Blood's exultation, after a few swings and a bleed proc my AR is like 1300ish on milos and 1200ish on the flamberge, with bleed and frostbite procs and all that greatsword stagger, its totally broken in PVE (not to mention the lowered enemy resistance which isnt reflected in the AR numbers.

Why can you infuse bloodhound fang with bloodflame, grease etc but not this weapon? They’re almost identical except this is a greatsword and bloodhound is a curved greatsword. And bloodhound just has higher AR, almost making this thing obsolete

Why would I ever want to use the boring triple hit vs the cool upwards slash R2

definitely better for PvE than PvP, unless you're doing a really high level quality build

The Ash of War on this seems bugged possibly? Physical damage gets boosted when attacking an affected enemy but elemental damage actually seems to decrease? Tested multiple times and my fire incantations did less damage with the Shriek applied than without. Seems almost like it's giving the enemy elemental resistance rather than lowering it.

This is def a solid weapon. Does decent damage when properly leveled up and the drip feed of FP can make things like legacy dungeons, catacombs, caves or just exploration a lot easier to trudge through for magic users. If you manage to hit a target with the debuff, that plus your damage buff makes this thing hit kinda hard, and the charged R2 will stack a bleed and chew through poise on larger targets. Can def break stance with two consecutive buffed R2s. Very solid general weapon choice.

"Good weapon for casters" ... why ? .... it can't be infused nor buffed with spells.. In what universe is this desirable for a caster build?

At high enough attributes this eventually becomes the highest pure physical AR greatsword. R2s seem to do drastically reduced poise damage; two consecutive full charge R2s will poise break a Leyndell Gladiator with a knights greatsword, banished knight greatsword, or lordsworn's, but not Milos. R1s and jump attacks seem consistent with other greatswords in this regard however.

Why do the two weapons that restore fp on kill look atrocious and not magical in the slightest.

The FP restoration seems to stack with the ancestral spirit horn. Nice alternative to the cerulean dagger.

Running a mage build with a two-handed Moonveil and this on my left hand, plus a Carian Filigreed Crest, and it's just bonkers how fast this regenerates FP. I can spam the light attack Transient Moonlight on trash mobs and never even need to use flasks

If only the R2 was just a tad faster could it be effective in PvP. I've used this for a while now, and it just doesn't come out fast enough to compensate how short ranged the attack is. That being said, every R2 for greatswords is very low-tier (besides claymore).

Does anyone know if the debuff on the ash of war on this will stack with the black blade incantation?

Too bad there is no Ricardo Rapier to pair with this sword.

This is amazing for PVE on pure caster builds, you can just wear it on your back, two-hand your staff/catalyst, and get the FP per kill effect. You don't need to meet stat requirements and it stacks with Ancestral Spirit Horn.

Tested against giant sewer flowers, buffed and unbuffed needed 12 hits to bleed.
Many say this weapon is underwhelming, especially compared to some meta setups. These people are wrong. First off, this babe is a greatsword, so it already belongs to a powerful weapon class. But this weapon has so much more to it, it's so versatile and all-around useful, some say it's the ultimate toolbox weapon but it is in fact a whole workshop. It has bleed! 55 seems low, especially compared to what arcane builds get, but this sword has no split damage and a certain schtick of that weapon makes it more than enough. The moveset. That thing probably has 2nd best greatsword moveset after Hollowslayer-type swords in ER, because of it's heavy attack. It's so good and allows you to space so well, that even longer swords pale in comparison. But my favorite thing about this sword is it's weapon art, which not only adds a debuff (that can be noticeable especially against soreseal users and PvE things already weak to something) and briefly stuns everything smaller than a crucible knight in a big radius (players too!), but also has high hyperarmor and adds a heavy attack combo akin to Barbaric roar that can be performed right out of the Shriek animation! (something other power shred stick, the Winged Greathorn, sorely lacks) And with this thing's damage, true quality scaling, debuff and bleed (that's where the 3-hit heavy attacks come in handy!), pve enemies, npc invaders and people who forget that roar combos can't be interrupted are straight up MURDERED while trying to trade (even bosses if you stack up defences). Between GS moveset, heavy and roar heavies, mixup possibilities are endless. And last but not least, a fp regen passive, which allows you to use weapon art freely while exploring or keep your health topped off with Bestial vitality. It is even more powerful for coop, since shred debuff lowers all resistances, allowing other players deal more damage to your foes, too, and unlike other options it is both versatile and has more hyperarmor, basically a Greyoll's roar in your pocket while also buffing the weapon itself. It can be buffed by many things, too! Axe talisman, Highland Axe, and Roar medallion make charged roar heavies from "powerful" to "3-tap death". Oh, and did I mention it's easy to get and looks friggin cool? An S tier weapon, not a "press wa button to win" type but deadlier than many meta stuff if you are flexible and know your babe well. Lack of a poke is kinda shame, but the running-up heavy makes up for it.
Tldr: BEST TOOLBOX WEAPON IN THE GAME and competes with BB and BKGS for the "best greatsword" title
