The Horned Warrior's Greatsword is a Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring. It is part of Shadow of the Erdtree, found in Enir-Ilim.

The Horned Warrior's Greatsword is the curved greatsword of the horned warriors, keepers of the tower, a heavy weapon made to bring their deft strength to bear. It is a guaranteed drop from the wind-aspected Horned Warrior on the way to the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom in Enir-Ilim. Its ornamental tangled horns let the blade serve as a medium for horn-calling. Its unique skill, Horn Calling: Storm, uses an animation like Stormcaller with longer reach and a longer wind-up. It scales evenly with Strength, Dexterity and Faith, which suits a Strength and Faith build.

How to Get Horned Warrior's Greatsword Guide


Can be dropped from the Wind-aspected Horned Warrior towards the end of Enir-Ilim on the bridge to the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom Site of Grace.

Skill


Horn Calling: Storm costs 22 / 10 FP. The wielder coats the greatsword in tangled horns, greatly extending its reach, then calls a storm into them and spins to mow through enemies. Additional inputs add up to two more spinning follow-ups, the last knocking foes back, and each one costs more FP. The repeated hits work with multi-hit boosters such as the Winged Sword Insignia, and the Enraged Divine Beast raises its damage. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.

"Invokes tangled horns to cover the weapon's blade. Call a storm into the horns, then mow through enemies. Additional inputs allow for up to two follow-up attacks."

Suggested Build


Swing it as a heavy curved greatsword and call the storm when there is room for its wind-up.

Stats Strength 60, Faith 40, Vigor 50, Mind 20, Endurance 28 (Dexterity 16 to wield it)
Affinity Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans Shard of Alexander, Ritual Sword Talisman
Pairs With Golden Vow, Flame, Grant Me Strength

Notes


"Curved greatsword of the horned warriors, keepers of the tower. A heavy weapon made to bring the deft strength of the warriors to bear. The ornamental tangled horns allow the blade to serve as a medium for horn-calling."
