The Moonlight Greatsword was previously featured in FromSoftware’s Dark Souls trilogy. Like many of the series’ other weapons, the blade makes a return in Elden Ring, but not in the way you might expect. Rather than being an obtainable item, the Moonlight Greatsword is relegated to being a weapon skill only usable on the Dark Moon Greatsword.
You’ll obtain the Dark Moon Greatsword by following Ranni the Witch’s questline to its end. At its conclusion, you’ll be able to pick up the weapon, which has the Moonlight Greatsword skill. Below are the required stats to both wield the blade and use its unique skill:
- 16 Strength
- 11 Dexterity
- 38 Intelligence
This blade is best-suited for Intelligence builds. The Moonlight Greatsword ability sees your character raising the sword up as it becomes enchanted by magic. The ability temporarily increases the blade’s magic attack power and lets you deal frost damage. Additionally, any fully-charged attacks will propel an energy blast in front of you.
Elden Ring is a massive game with a lot of well-hidden items. If you’re wondering where to find Alberich’s armor set, how to obtain the Golden Epitaph sword, or how to get the Crucible Hornshield, we got you covered on FromSoftware’s open-world title.
