The choice weapon in Elden Ring completely changes how the game feels. An extraordinary sword seems to have particularly captured the community’s attention.
Which sword is it? The sword in question appears in all games by FromSoftware. Be it in Demons Souls, Dark Souls 1–3, Bloodborne, or Elden Ring. We are talking about the “Dark moon Greatsword” or Dunkelmondlicht-Großschwert in German. The fact that this sword appears in all FromSoftware games is certainly a reason for its legendary status among fans.
However, the sword is not simply present in every game of the developer; it is also one of the best weapons in Elden Ring.
How do I obtain the weapon? The sword is a quest reward for the “Ranni Quest.” Since the quest is quite long, you can find a detailed guide to the quest here, where you will receive the weapon at the end. However, you should not complete the quest solely for the reward, but also because you learn a lot about the game world there.
Here you can see the first trailer for the new DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree.”
The weapon has long reached legendary status
What do the fans think of the weapon? Fans love their Dark moon Greatsword. Few weapons from any game are as cherished by players as this sword from Elden Ring.
Recently, a simple image of the weapon on Reddit was enough to make many fans rave. Besides its good stats, players also appreciate the weapon visually.
On Reddit Gamingwiththereaper writes: “Ahhh … you have been by my side all along.
My true mentor … my shining moon …”
MistahPoptarts explains below why he loves the sword so much: “Yes, this sword is STRONG. Landing a charged heavy attack does so much damage and stagger.”
BandicootGood5246 responds to him: “Gideon, I literally took him out in 2 shots on my first playthrough. I had no idea he was that weak, but man, that surprised me.”
True-King-Of-Heroes also finds words for the sword: “Yeah … if you use it correctly, it can carry you through the whole game. It’s also good for minimizing MP consumption while giving the player a powerful tool for clearing enemies. Plus, it inflicts frostbite, which is always a good bonus.”
AMW9000 concludes with the highest praise: “I love this weapon.”
The users on Reddit show that this sword is indeed popular. Even if it doesn’t top the list of the best weapons in Elden Ring, the weapon is still considered one of the best in the game by players and also remains high on our list.
