Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - Sword of Light (Stats, Talismans, & How To Unlock)

In , the Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion brought forth many new weapons for the Tarnished to experiment with. One of these new weapons, the Stone-Sheathed Sword, can be converted into a new Legendary armament: the Sword of Light or the Sword of Darkness. The Sword of Light will be the focus of this build guide, but the setup will generally work the same with the Sword of Darkness, as they are both Strength/Faith weapons with similar effects.

The Sword of Light has an incredible new Ash of War that may seem like it does subpar damage until you realize it should be treated more as a buff rather than a Damage tool. After casting the skill, Light, your character will receive a 20% damage increase to all Holy attacks for 60 seconds. This is especially effective given the amount of new Holy damage options available within the DLC.

The Falx is a set of twin Curved Blades introduced in Shadow of the Erdtree, rewarded at the end of a long questline and built on Dexterity.

From the Castle Front Site of Grace outside of Castle Ensis, up the path to the north until you reach a valley covered in a thick fog; travel through this valley until you reach the end, where there will be an entrance to the Fog Rift Catacombs.

Progress through the catacombs while watching out for the ceiling spike traps until you reach a set of stairs that drop off an edge. Let the spike trap fall before dropping, hurrying to the other side. Take the lift down to progress.

Continue through 's catacombs until you reach another larger spike trap room, where you will slowly make your way across while using the side alcoves for cover. Once you've reached the other side, you can take the spike trap up by hopping onto an indented ledge.

Open the chest with the Ash of War: Blinkbolt letting the spike trap fall again. Hop on top of it this time, running across until you reach a hidden room on the right side. There will be an altar here that contains the Stone-Sheathed Sword.
