If you want one of the most powerful weapons in this expansion, don’t miss this
If Elden Ring already had tons of great weapons, its DLC has come to break the mold and bring us some of the best. Shadow of the Erdtree boasts a brutal arsenal and features one of the best greatswords ever made by FromSoftware, the Fire Knight’s Greatsword. If you want to destroy your enemies with the best colossal sword in the title, I’ll tell you how to get it.
How to get the Fire Knight Greatsword
And, of all the new weapons that have arrived with this DLC, one of the essential ones is this colossal sword. Climb with strength, skill and faith, but its movements make it clear that it is a weapon designed for lovers of hand-to-hand combat. Also, if you use a fire war ash (we’ll talk about that later, because there is a winning combination), what you are left with is an all-terrain saber that also It can be amazing for PVPbut also be an essential weapon in PVE.
To get it, luckily, you won’t have to defeat any boss, as happens, for example, with the Greatsword of Solitude and the Great Catana of Rakshasa. Unfortunately, yes, what you are going to have to do is depend on your luck, and this weapon is an object dropped by an enemy when they die. From its name, you can guess what it is: the Knight of Fire. Now, not just anyone will do, and most of these opponents use daggers, not colossal greatswords.
Well, the best place to get this weapon is, in fact, almost at the beginning of the Shadow Fortress. From Gracia’s location “Main Gate Square”, you must go to the door on the right (if you haven’t opened it yet, you will have to take a much-needed detour around the level) and go up the stairs. At the bottom of the bridge, you will see a knight, and surely you have to kill him many times.
One of the worst parts of getting this weapon is the very low probability of the knight in question dropping the weapon. He has many items in his arsenal, forging stones, his entire armor set and the sword in question, so you are going to have many “false positives” until it’s your turn. Of course, once you have it, I’ll tell you what war ash to put in it.
Best War Ash for Fire Knight Greatsword
And, almost as important as choosing a weapon is, the war ash in Elden Ring has to be just as good. This DLC has added a few new ones, and among those is the best one to use with this colossal sword: Flaming Skewer. Which will turn it into a firearm, make it escalate mainly with faith and will give you a very good secondary attack.
Now, to get it you will have to be invaded. Not for players, mind you, but for the Fire Knight Queelignwho will attack you in the Church of the Crusade, northwest of the place of Grace “Cross of Altasenda”. With this combo, you’re going to be downright unstoppable.
