Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition Guide | How to Get Leontiel's Greatsword

Leontiel's Greatsword is a new weapon in Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition that can be obtained by defeating the Knight Leontiel invader in Caelid.

Unlike the Hefty Scimitar or Idus Sword, Leontiel's Greatsword isn't purchased from a merchant or found as a regular world pickup.

You must first defeat Starscourge Radahn, then return to his arena and trigger Knight Leontiel's invasion.

Where to Find Leontiel's Greatsword

The Leontiel's Greatsword location is in the Wailing Dunes in Caelid, near the area where you fight Starscourge Radahn.

Before Knight Leontiel appears, you must defeat Starscourge Radahn. Once Radahn is defeated, travel back to the Starscourge Radahn Site of Grace in his arena.

How to Get Leontiel's Greatsword

Follow these steps to obtain the weapon:

• Defeat Starscourge Radahn in Caelid.
• Return to the Starscourge Radahn Site of Grace.
• Summon Torrent and ride north toward the War-Dead Catacombs.
• Continue through the Wailing Dunes until Torrent disappears and the invasion begins.
• Defeat Knight Leontiel to receive Leontiel's Greatsword.

The invasion occurs outside Radahn's arena, slightly north toward the ruined structures and War-Dead Catacombs.

How to Defeat Knight Leontiel

Knight Leontiel fights as a fast-moving melee invader and uses the Greatsword's evasive attacks to punish aggressive players.

Keep some distance when necessary and avoid attacking recklessly after Leontiel's evasive moves. Ranged attacks and Ashes of War can also help create openings before she reaches you.

Once Knight Leontiel is defeated, Leontiel's Greatsword and the complete Leontiel armor set are awarded automatically.

Leontiel's Greatsword Requirements

Leontiel's Greatsword is a unique Greatsword that requires 13 Strength and 26 Dexterity to wield effectively. It also comes with the unique Muleta Ash of War, which gives the weapon its distinctive evasive counterattack.

Final Thoughts

Leontiel's Greatsword is one of the more involved new weapons in Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. You need to defeat Radahn before Knight Leontiel becomes available, but defeating the invader rewards you with both the Greatsword and her complete armor set.
