How to get your hands on the Elden Ring’s version of the Moonlight Greatsword.
Elden Ring’s Dark Moon Greatsword continues a nearly thirty-year FromSoftware tradition. Every King’s Field and Soulsborne game (sans Sekiro) has included the iconic blade. You can acquire the Dark Moon Greatsword around Elden Ring’s midgame, at the culmination of Ranni’s questline. There can be a lot of game left after this point, but you’ll have to face some of the most challenging Elden Ring bosses before acquiring the Dark Moon Greatsword, so it’s a good idea to invest in another strong Elden Ring weapon like the Moonveil Katana to see you through those challenges. Elden Ring Dark Moon Greatsword: How to start Ranni’s Quest You can check out our full, step-by-step guide for Ranni’s quest if you’d like the most granular details. I’ll lay out the broad strokes here for the spoiler-averse: Make sure you’ve completed Blaidd’s Quest in Mistwood. Ranni’s should proceed as normal if you haven’t, however. Meet Ranni at Caria Manor and enter her service. You’ll be directed here toward the conclusion of Rogier’s quest. Talk to Blaidd in Siofra River (one of the coolest areas in the game). Talk to Seluvis in the tower south of Ranni’s, then talk to Sorceress Sellen (check out our guide on how to complete Sorceress Sellen’s quest if you missed her in Limgrave) and return to Blaidd in Siofra.
