Acquiring all nine Legendary Armaments in Elden Ring is one of the most rewarding pursuits for players exploring the Lands Between. These renowned weapons not only offer unique abilities and exceptional damage scaling, but they are also required to unlock the Legendary Armaments trophy. Understanding where each weapon is hidden ensures you will not miss any during your journey.
Early Game Legendary Weapons in Limgrave and Liurnia
Your search for legendary gear begins early in your adventure within Limgrave and Liurnia of the Lakes. At Castle Morne, located in the southern Weeping Peninsula, defeating the Leonine Misbegotten boss rewards you with the Grafted Blade Greatsword. This weapon is famous for its unique skill that temporarily raises all character attributes.
As you progress to Liurnia, you can obtain the Sword of Night and Flame inside Caria Manor. Located in a locked room accessed from the upper walkways, this blade scales with Intelligence and Faith to unleash devastating magic attacks. Securing these weapons early gives physical and spell-focused builds a strong advantage.
Mid Game Armaments in Caelid and Mount Tops of the Giants
Heading east into Caelid brings you to Redmane Castle, where defeating the Starscourge Radahn unlocks access to the ruins. Inside the castle Plaza after the festival ends, you can defeat the dual boss encounter to receive the Ruins Greatsword. This massive weapon delivers powerful gravity-based wave attacks across wide areas.
Moving north into the Mountaintops of the Giants leads to Castle Sol, where Commander Niall guards the Eclipse Shotel. This curved sword inflicts the deadly Death Blight status effect during combat encounters. Collecting these mid-game options expands your strategic versatility against tougher enemies.
Capital City and Volcano Manor Discoveries
Leyndell, Royal Capital holds the Bolt of Gransax, a weapon that becomes permanently missable if you progress the story too far. To claim this spear, you must climb onto the gigantic spear statue in the center of the city before defeating Maliketh. Its unique skill hurls lightning spears across long distances with incredible precision.
Nearby in Volcano Manor, completing Rykard's questline or defeating him unlocks access to the Devourer's Scepter. Dropped by Bernahl either through his questline or upon defeat, this weapon leeches enemy health to sustain you in battle. Careful exploration of these regions ensures you do not miss time-sensitive collectibles.
Late Game Endgame Locations and Secret Regions
The remaining legendary armaments require reaching late-game optional regions like Miquella's Haligtree and the Lake of Rot. Defeating Malenia's region leads to finding the Dark Moon Greatsword through Ranni's extensive questline, serving as a iconic reward for spellcasters. Meanwhile, exploring the Deeproot Depths or secret areas yields the Golden Order Greatsword from the Cave of the Forlorn.
Finally, the Marais Executioner's Sword is dropped by Elemer of the Briar at the Shaded Castle in Altus Plateau. Gathering all nine weapons unlocks a prestigious achievement while granting access to some of the most powerful abilities in the game. Planning your route carefully prevents costly missed opportunities during your playthrough.
