The Godslayer’s Greatsword is one other of Elden Ring’s “Legendary Armaments” and a Colossal Greatsword that scales with Religion, Energy, and Dexterity. Whereas this Elden Ring weapon is not buried as far within the sport because the Eclipse Shotel, it does take some tough platforming and beating a tricky Elden Ring boss to get it.
Elden Ring Godslayer’s Greatsword location: up and down the Divine Tower of Caelid and combating the Godskin Apostle
The Godslayer’s Greatsword is discovered within the basement of the Divine Tower of Caelid, positioned within the north-central space of the map close to the Dragonbarrow West web site of grace. You will need to climb up the tower to an entrance, then all the way in which again down as soon as inside, so prepare for the form of “is that the place I am supposed to leap subsequent?” platforming often reserved for a Future raid. I hit this mini-dungeon round degree 90, and would not advocate tackling it earlier than degree 70, and even 60 as a naked minimal.
From the tree roots extending from the mainland to the tower, you’ll be able to see two ladders, one with an enemy subsequent to it. It is best to cope with opponents at vary right here to keep away from the chance of falling off. Comply with the basis to the outcropping on the tower, the decrease of the 2 ladders, and climb up.
Don’t climb the second ladder instantly after the primary. As a substitute, use Torrent to double bounce throughout the hole within the arched path to the best. Climb the ladder on the finish of this path as a substitute.
Proceed left from the highest of the ladder, and comply with the trail wrapping across the tower. Use Torrent’s double bounce to cross any gaps, being cautious as there are a number of which can be onerous to see coming. You will discover a web site of grace on the finish of the trail.
The steps north of the positioning of grace result in the activation level of Radahn’s Nice Rune. For the Godslayer’s Greatsword, flip south and take the steps down. Be careful for 2 Redmane troopers on the backside, one hidden across the nook.
What follows is a FromSoft staple virtually as iconic as Miyazaki’s love of poison swamps: the outdated “drop from ledge to ledge making your technique to the underside of an important pit” set piece. (See additionally: the Nice Hole, Majula, and the Hunter’s Workshop). The trail is pretty easy: your first purpose is the cage elevator with a Redmane soldier guarding it, which is down and to the left of your start line. The cracked strut in your path will break below your weight, however it’s a scripted occasion, so you may take no harm from the autumn and that is the trail you must take.
Take the elevator up and comply with the hallway curving again across the tower. Take a detour up the ladder and open the door on the prime—it is a shortcut again to the final web site of grace. There’s a blackflame monk farther down the hallway with ample poise and damaging incantations, however he should not pose too a lot of a menace.
On the finish of the corridor, bounce out on the ledge to your left and proceed following the curve across the tower till you might be straight above one other cracked strut. Like the primary, it should break and you might be scripted to outlive—there is no such thing as a different path to the underside of the tower—however I had this one glitch out and the autumn killed me twice earlier than doing no harm a 3rd time. If this occurs to you, hold returning by way of the shortcut and trying the bounce till you land safely subsequent to the elevator. Experience it down to a different web site of grace, and previous one other blackflame monk you may discover the boss door to the Godskin Apostle.
A lot of the Apostle’s assaults are pretty well-telegraphed, and it should not take too many makes an attempt to get into his rhythm. One sticking level for me was an assault the place he quickly spins his blade in entrance of him like an industrial fan, holding it there and strolling ahead for enormous harm. I by no means managed to get behind him throughout this assault, and it is safer to maintain your distance till it ends. Watch out of if you heal as nicely—the Godskin Apostle will cheekily lob a blackflame projectile at you if you try and sip out of your flask.
His second part will introduce some Reed Richards stretchy antics, however they do not combine up the combat as a lot as, say, Margit’s part 2 strikes. When you defeat the Godskin Apostle, you may obtain his nasty-looking armor, and a chest within the subsequent room comprises the Godslayer’s Greatsword.
