The Sacred Relic Sword is a Greatsword in Elden Ring. It becomes available in the middle of a run.

The Sacred Relic Sword is a sword wrought from the remains of a god who should have lived a life eternal, and some see it as the mark of a great sin, others as the end of an age or the beginning of one. It is obtained by trading the Elden Remembrance, won from the Elden Beast, with Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold. It deals physical and holy damage, scales with Dexterity, Faith and some Strength, and has a critical value of 110. Its unique skill, Wave of Gold, takes about two seconds to wind up, then fires a long, widening arc of holy damage that sweeps through everything in its path and scales entirely with Faith. It suits a Dexterity and Faith character and is a favored rune farming tool.

Stats

---

Waves of Gold sends a widening arc of holy projectiles that scale with Faith and sweep whole groups at once, which turned the Sacred Relic Sword into a favorite rune-farming weapon at Palace Approach Ledge-Road. It also carries a 110 critical rating, as high as any greatsword gets, with 118 physical and 76 holy damage at base.

Skill

---

Wave of Gold costs 42 FP. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"Imbue the sword with bygone golden glory, then fire it at foes. A wide, golden wave fans out forwards, sweeping through all enemies caught in its path."

Critical Damage

---

Its critical rating is 110, above the 100 most of its class carries, so backstabs and ripostes land noticeably harder. Nothing else in its class has a higher one.

Notes

---

"Sword wrought from the remains of a god who should have lived a life eternal. Thoughts on what the weapon portends are many and varied. Some consider it the mark of a great sin, or a sign of a great devastation. Some think it as the end of an age, while others; the beginning."
