One of the nine Legendary Armaments in Elden Ring, the Ruins Greatsword is one of the most coveted swords for any strength build out there.   It’s big, bulky, and badass and we’re sure you want to get your hands on it.

Mid-game weapons are essential to progress through several bossfights and this is one of the best ones out there.  In this guide, we’ll show you how you can get this greatsword in an easier way.

How To Get Ruins Greatsword Legendary Weapon – Elden Ring

A lot of the better weapons and skills unlock after you beat Starscourge Radahn.  Finish the Radahn festival then go back to Redmane Castle to talk to Witch-Hunter Jerren.  Make sure to keep talking to him until his dialogue repeats.  Once this is done, reset the area by traveling to a nearby Site of Grace.

The plaza will now be blocked by a yellow fog, boss gate.  Go through it and you will be faced by a Misbegotten Warrior.  This guy has the same moveset as Leonine (if you fought him at Castle Morne,  you should have an easy time around this boss).   You would have to beat him quickly as a Crucible Knight will join him when the battle reaches a certain time threshold.

After you beat both of the bosses, you will be awarded with the Ruins Greatsword automatically.  This greatsword is one of the best swords for strength builds as its superior range and damage can quickly overpower large groups of enemies.
