Weapons are an inseparable part of Shadow of the Erdtree. After experiencing the merciless open world of Elden Ring, players won’t be brave enough to start their journey in the brand new Shadow Realm without potent weapons. In that case, they look for powerful katanas and swords, and in this process, in the early game, they will come across the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword. 

Whether you come across this greatsword or not will depend on the path you are on. The vast world of the DLC may confuse players, and they can potentially miss a few important locations. But the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword is something that you shouldn’t miss. So, let’s check out the location and stats of the weapon to find out whether it is worth acquiring or not.

Shadow of the Erdtree has brought a whole bunch of new weapons for the players, including katana, greatswords, daggers, etc. While some of them are extremely powerful to fight against the bosses of the game, players can’t get any of them easily. They are mostly acquired by beating enemies, optional bosses, or opening chests at some secret location. For Strength users, these are perfect, with unique skills to offer. So, they shouldn’t miss these weapons, especially the ones found in the early stages of the game.

Where to Find Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword in Shadow of the Erdtree

This is a great colossal weapon introduced in the DLC of Elden Ring. Its attack pattern is unique and powerful. So, it won’t be wise to miss this weapon. However, to get this weapon, players need to progress through the first region of the DLC, Gravesite Plain, and eventually make their way to Castle Ensis. This castle is located on the northeast side of the region and requires players to overcome multiple obstacles to finally enter the fortress. 

However, the journey won’t end here. To get the greatsword, they have to progress further and reach Scadu Altus. If you are trying to make your way through Castle Ensis, you have to explore the location and head to Castle Lord’s Chamber Grace, where the fog gate to fight the boss of the area is located. 

Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, is the boss you have to fight if you want to make your way to Scadu Altus. This fight is challenging and deadly, but there’s no alternative to progressing further without beating her once you have entered the fortress. Well, if you are not prepared for the fight but want to reach Scadu Altus, you have to take a long way that follows the Ellac River.

Regardless of the path you choose, once you have made your way to Scadu Altus, your next destination is to reach Ruined Forge of Starfall Past. This is one of the minor dungeons located in Shadow of the Erdtree that players can easily skip if they want. But we recommend they shouldn’t. This optional dungeon is home to several valuable items, including the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.

To access this dungeon, make your way to the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace, and from there, start moving toward the southwest side to find the dungeon. Once you enter the dungeon, start exploring it, and you will soon come to a room with a ladder. Climb up the ladder, search the area, and take advantage of the debris in the next room to progress forward.

Next, you will find a bridge below you after going to the right edge of the next area. Jump down and interact with the level there. Make your way through the open entrance. Interact with the lever there to open the door next to you. Use the door as a platform to reach the second level of the dungeon. Once you do, you will find an altar there. Interact with it, and you will get the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.

The process is indeed time-consuming, but no matter what, you shouldn’t skip getting this Greatsword. The below section will give you the stats of the weapon in detail.

Aside from the sweeping Charge attack, what makes this greatsword a unique and potent weapon is the Weapon Skill it has. Its White Light Charge weapon skill creates a powerful white light that triggers a charging attack that can pierce through an enemy. Up until mid-game, this attack can easily be used against the bosses. 

While this greatsword can’t be infused with Ashes of War, players can upgrade the sword using Somber Smithing Stones from time to time to give its abilities a boost. This will help you use it against enemies effectively. Therefore, this greatsword is undoubtedly a strong weapon to get in the game, even though you will find much better options as you progress further and explore new areas and dungeons in the game. 

These are more or less everything you should know before you start using the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword in Shadow of the Erdtree. As an early-game weapon, this is excellent for grabbing and beating enemies, even powerful bosses. The process is a bit tricky and troublesome, but it’s worth it.
