The greatsword is a great wapon with an amazing design.

If you’re looking for one of the coolest legendary weapons in the Elden Ring, the Godslayer’s Greatsword should be at the top of your list. This massive sword can imbue itself with black flames, making it a formidable weapon in any battle. However, getting your hands on the Godslayer’s Greatsword is no easy feat, as it requires you to navigate a secret location and defeat a challenging boss.
It’s important to note that the Godslayer’s Greatsword is not a weapon you can obtain early on in the game. It is recommended to attempt to get this weapon at level 70 or higher, as the enemies and challenges you’ll face require a high level of skill and strategy. Attempting to get the Godslayer’s Greatsword at a lower level can result in a frustrating and difficult experience. This article will walk you through the steps to get the Godslayer’s Greatsword in Elden Ring.

Location of the God Slayer’s Greatsword

The Godslayer’s Greatsword can be found in the basement of the Divine Tower of Caelid. The tower is located in the northern part of Caelid near the Dragonbarrow West site of Grace. To get to the Divine Tower, you’ll need to climb up the tower to an entrance. Then, navigate your way through the tower to the basement where the sword is located. Be prepared for some challenging platforming, as the path to the Godslayer’s Greatsword is filled with obstacles and enemies.
Navigating the Divine Tower of Caelid

Once you’re at the Divine Tower of Caelid, you’ll need to climb up to the top of the tower. From here, work your way back down to the basement. This will require some careful navigation, as the path is filled with enemies and obstacles. You’ll need to use Torrent’s double jump ability to cross gaps in the arched path. Players need to be cautious of any hard-to-see gaps along the way. Once you’ve made your way down to the basement, you’ll need to defeat two Redmane soldiers before progressing further.
Defeating the Godskin Apostle Boss

The final challenge in obtaining the Godslayer’s Greatsword is defeating the Godskin Apostle boss, who is guarding the sword. The Godskin Apostle has several well-telegraphed attacks, but there are a few moves that can be particularly difficult to deal with. One of his attacks involves spinning his blade in front of him like an industrial fan, which can cause massive damage if you get too close. Another challenge is timing your healing, as the Godskin Apostle will attempt to hit you with a black projectile when you try to sip from your flask.
Once you’ve defeated the Godskin Apostle, you’ll receive his armor and the Godslayer’s Greatsword. The Godslayer’s Greatsword’s signature ability is the “Queen’s Black Flame,” which is a two-hit combo of charged black flame attacks. To wield the sword, you’ll need 20 strength to use it one-handed or 14 strength to use it two-handed. The sword also requires 22 dexterity, with its scaling improving to C at +2 and B at +10.
Obtaining the Godslayer’s Greatsword in Elden Ring is a challenging and rewarding experience. The sword’s unique ability to imbue itself with black flames makes it a formidable weapon in any battle, but getting the sword requires careful navigation and defeating a difficult boss. If you’re up for the challenge, follow our guide and get ready to wield the Godslayer’s Greatsword in your next battle.
