FromSoftware’s popularElden Ringtitle features tons of varied weapons for Tarnished to experiment with. Right from swords to bows and katanas, there’s so much to choose from. However, among these weapons, the most legendary status is undoubtedly held by the Moonlight Greatsword.
Provided to you as a part of Ranni’s never-ending questline inElden Ring, the Moonlight Greatsword is one of the most incredible heavy-hitting Intelligence weapons capable of dealing lethal damage to opponents. However, what you might know is that this legendary weapon has a lore that predates everything made by game director Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Moonlight Greatsword’s Lore in FromSoftware Games
The Moonlight Greatsword has always been a staple in FromSoftware’s titles and was first showcased inKing’s Fieldin 1994. Since then, the developers have included the iconic weapon in their popular games, fromArmored CoretoDark Souls. So, it’s no surprise that we might be able to use it in the upcomingShadow of the ErdtreeDLC.
Three years after its first appearance inKing’s Field, the sword was found in the first Armored Core game as the LS-99-Moonlight. Despite the sword being one of the long-running easter eggs across FromSoftware’s titles, it’s best known for its appearance in theSoulsborneseries.

Moonlight Greatsword then appeared inNinja Bladein 2009, and just a week later, it was featured inDemon’s Soulsas the Large Sword of Moonlight. The sword was also featured in the originalDark Soulsgame two years later, called the Moonlight Greatsword. The sequel also featured the sword, which had the exact same name, and a fake copy, called the Bluemoon Greatsword.
The iconic weapon popped up again inDark Souls 3; however, obtaining it was quite challenging and tedious. While the weapon didn’t surface again inSekiro, it featured inElden RingandArmored Core 6.
This isn’t the only Souls staple originating from previous FromSoftware titles. Another prime example is Patches, which is the bald trickster that often pushes you into dangerous holes, all while promising you some loot.
