Freyja's Greatsword is a Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring. It has the highest physical attack of any curved greatsword in the game. It is one of the expansion's additions, found in the Land of Shadow.

Freyja's Greatsword is the weapon of Redmane Freyja, a greatsword decorated with a mane like the weapons of her liege. It appears wherever Freyja dies, most often on her body after the battle against Needle Knight Leda and her allies in Enir-Ilim. The spirit of her training lingers in the blade, boosting Redmane battle skills such as Lion's Claw, Savage Lion's Claw, Flame of the Redmanes and Roaring Bash, even when held in the off-hand. It scales mainly with Strength and reaches high Strength scaling with a Heavy infusion. It suits a Strength build that leans on Redmane skills.

Stats

Freyja's Greatsword has the highest physical damage among curved greatswords, 146 at base and 357 at max upgrade. Its passive raises the damage of Redmane skills such as Flame of the Redmanes, Lion's Claw and Roaring Bash by 10% even when it is only held in the off-hand, so it doubles as a support item for another weapon. It comes with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

How to Get Freyja's Greatsword Guide

It appears wherever Redmane Freyja dies: on her body after the fight against Needle Knight Leda and her allies in Enir-Ilim, or otherwise near the Storehouse, Seventh Floor Site of Grace once that fight is won.

Climb Enir-Ilim and defeat Needle Knight Leda and her allies.
If Redmane Freyja was given Freyja's Letter, she fights among Leda's allies; loot the greatsword from her body.
Otherwise, travel to the Storehouse, Seventh Floor Site of Grace in the Shadow Keep and pick up the greatsword nearby.

Skill

Spinning Slash costs 6 / 12 FP. The wielder spins the whole body to slash foes in a wide circle, and an additional input adds two more spins. Small weapons spin quickly, while greatswords, spears, halberds and other large weapons use a slower, sweeping version. The skill cannot be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Skill favored by dexterous warriors. Slash foes as your body spins. Additional input allows for a follow-up attack."

Suggested Build

Build around Redmane skills such as Lion's Claw to break stance between curved greatsword swings.

Stats	Strength 80, or 54 when two-handing (25 to wield it), Dexterity 14, Vigor 50, Endurance 40, Mind 10 to 20
Affinity	Heavy for A Strength scaling at full upgrade.
Ash of War	Savage Lion's Claw, Lion's Claw or Flame of the Redmanes, all boosted by its passive.
Talismans	Shard of Alexander, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, Starscourge Heirloom

Notes

"Weapon of Freyja, a Redmane. Greatsword decorated with a mane, much like the weapons used by her liege. The spirit of Freyja's training lingers in this sword, enhancing the power of Redmane battle skills."
