The Sacred Relic Sword is a Greatsword in Elden Ring.
When to Use It
Mid game. It is found around Altus Plateau, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.
Why Players Pick It
Wave of Gold's projectile scales entirely off Faith and sweeps everything in a widening arc. Records an effective yield of around 6,000,000 runes per hour farming Albinaurics from Palace Approach Ledge-Road with the Golden Scarab. Also carries the class's best critical multiplier at 110.
Upgrades
It takes Somber Smithing Stones rather than the common kind, one per level up to +10, and it keeps its own skill for good: no Ash of War will replace it and no affinity will re-cut its scaling.
Skill
Wave of Gold costs 42 FP. 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. It belongs to this weapon alone: no Ash of War will move it onto anything else, and nothing will replace it here.
Build
Its scaling runs Str at E, Dex at D and Fai at D, so Dex and Fai are the stats worth levelling, and you need Str 14, Dex 24 and Fai 15 before you can lift it. Because the skill is its own, the build has to come to the weapon rather than the other way round.
Critical Damage
Critical 110. A backstab, or a riposte after a guard break, is multiplied by this, where 100 is the baseline most weapons carry.
- The highest critical of its class.
- It pays for getting behind an enemy or breaking their stance rather than trading hits in the open.
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.
How to Get Sacred Relic Sword Guide
