How To Get Sacred Relic Sword And Where To Find It

The Sacred Relic Sword stands as one of the most powerful and sought-after endgame armaments in Elden Ring. Renowned for its unique holy skill that decimates large groups of enemies, obtaining this legendary weapon requires completing the main story journey. Understanding the steps needed to acquire it ensures players can unleash its full potential during New Game Plus runs.

Defeating the Final Bosses in the Elden Throne

To acquire the Sacred Relic Sword, players must first reach the end of the main campaign and enter the Erdtree arena. There, you face a sequential battle against Radagon of the Golden Order followed immediately by the Elden Beast. Defeating this ultimate cosmic foe rewards you with the Elden Remembrance, which serves as the key to unlocking the weapon.

Exchanging the Elden Remembrance at Roundtable Hold

Once you possess the Elden Remembrance, return to the Roundtable Hold to speak with Finger Reader Enia. Presenting the remembrance allows you to choose between Marika's Hammer or the Sacred Relic Sword. Selecting the sword adds this formidable Greatsword to your inventory for future combat challenges.

Weapon Requirements and the Wave of Gold Skill

The Sacred Relic Sword scales primarily with Faith, Dexterity, and Strength, requiring specific stat investments to wield effectively. Its signature weapon skill, Wave of Gold, releases a wide golden arc that travels forward and inflicts massive Holy damage across a broad area. This unique ability makes it unmatched when dealing with large hordes of hostile creatures.

Maximizing Rune Farming with the Sacred Relic Sword

Beyond standard combat, this weapon is famous across the Lands Between for its unparalleled utility in farming runes. By visiting the Palace Approach Ledge-Road in Mohgwyn Palace, players can clear entire waves of Albinaurics with a single activation. This efficient strategy grants millions of runes per hour, making character progression significantly easier.
