Moonrithyll's Knight Sword is a Colossal Sword in Elden Ring. It comes from the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Moonrithyll's Knight Sword is a greatsword embedded with a blue glintstone, the favored weapon of the steadfast Carian knight Moonrithyll, chamberlain to the Twin Moon Knight and a friend to the trolls who served the royal family. She proudly wielded their weapons as she fought arm in arm with her gargantuan comrades, and the sword drops when she is defeated. It shares the look, attack rating, guard rating, scaling, requirements, damage type and weight of the Troll Knight's Sword, differing only in a slightly smaller FP cost and its unique skill. That skill, Tremendous Phalanx, summons magic blades that head toward surrounding enemies, a phalanx no other colossal sword can use. It scales with Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence at D, which suits a Strength and Intelligence build.
