Eldenring’s Dark Moon Greatsword continues a nearly 30-year tradition at From Software. Every Kingsfield and Soulsborne game (except for “Sekiro”) includes this iconic sword.

The Darkmoon Greatsword can be found in the middle of the Elden Ring, at the top of Lanni’s quest. Before you can get the Dark Moon Great Sword, you will face the Elden Ring‘s most difficult boss, so it is a good idea to invest in the Elden Ring.
