Sometimes you want to be a sophisticated practitioner of glintstone sorcery. Other times, you want to hit something with a sword approximately the size of a garden fence. Elden Ring has always understood that these ambitions don't necessarily have to be mutually exclusive.

Rowdyaudi95's Paragon Greatsword combines both approaches in a silver, Carian-blue weapon with some rather theatrical tricks up its sleeve. Charged heavy attacks launch arcs of magic, while its Primordial Phalanx skill summons overhead glintblades before allowing a lunging follow-up that fires a great magic comet. The sword can be found near the bottom of Raya Lucaria's lift by the Abductor Virgin, with an optional file offering earlier access near Stranded Graveyard. The creator has also followed the initial release with damage and poise adjustments, although the page's version labels don't entirely agree. A little administrative confusion aside, this one looks tailor-made for Tarnished who have never been able to decide between a greatsword and a spellbook.
