The Golden Order Greatsword, a magnificent weapon forged from light and inspired by the Elden Ring, was created by Radagon himself to uphold the Golden Order’s legacy. Sadly, this legendary sword has been lost to the ages, now wielded by those unworthy of its power.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to track down the Golden Order Greatsword and how to effectively integrate it into Magic-focused builds. Get ready for a journey to one of the coldest regions in the Lands Between.
Where to Find the Golden Order Greatsword
You can acquire the Golden Order Greatsword by defeating the Misbegotten Crusader, an optional boss located at the end of the Cave of Forlon. This cave is situated in the Consecrated Snowfield.
The entrance to the Cave of Forlon can be found at the northeast end of a ravine, which lies between the northern and southern sections of the Consecrated Snowfield. Look for it southeast of the Minor Erdtree.
Once inside the Cave of Forlon, navigate through until you reach the end, where you’ll encounter a yellow fog gate that leads to the Misbegotten Crusader. As the toughest Misbegotten foe in the game with a staggering 9,100 HP, this battle will test your skills.
The Misbegotten Crusader utilizes the same attack patterns as the Leonine Misbegotten and wields the Golden Order Greatsword himself. His weakness is fire, so consider using pyromancy spells like Giant Fireball or applying Fire Grease to your weapon.
Upon his defeat, the Misbegotten Crusader will drop the Golden Order Greatsword, which is among the 9 legendary armaments found in Elden Ring.
