One of the legendary armaments, The Grafted Blade Greatsword, is burdened with an ocean of regret and anger. Stolen by a misbegotten, this legendary sword can only be obtained after defeating an optional boss in the game.
Those worthy can wield the Grafted Blade Greatsword for great strength in Elden Ring. The weapon, a tribute to GRR Martin, the writer of Game of Thrones and contributor to Elden Ring lore, resembles the Iron Throne, and in this guide, we will show you how to get it easily.
Grafted Blade Greatsword Location
Grafted Blade Greatsword can be obtained at Weeping Peninsula after defeating Leonine Misbegotten in Castle Morne.
It also serves as an Easter egg for Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire, as the description states that a great swordsman from an extinct country crafted the sword.
Castle more can be found in southeastern Liurnia. Once you reach the Bridge of sorrow Site of Grace, talk to Irina to start her questline that will take you to Castle Morne. Keep going south until you reach the castle, overrun by misbegotten enemies.
Defeat the enemies and deliver Irina’s letter to her father. He will ask you to defeat Lionine Misbegotten and retrieve their family sword from him. Continue your journey towards the end of the castle until you reach the bridge near the shoreline.
The bridge lies in the vicinity of the tower. After entering the misty entrance, the players will be greeted by an optional boss, Leonine Misbegotten.
Leonine Misbegotten Boss Fight
Like all other bosses in the game, this boss also comes with a set of different attacks. The options for multiplayer and spirit calling are open for this fight. Using co-op summon and calling spirit for this fight is one of the best options to utilize.
One good option for the fight is to keep a distance from the boss and try to dodge the attacks. Blocking the powerful attacks will take huge amounts of stamina, so dodging and looking for an opening is the most suitable decision.
If we look at the boss’s attacks, we can predict them to some extent, and the boss can be defeated by strategy. Most of Leonine Misbegotten’s attacks are horizontal and can be countered.
Leonine’s devastating attack consists of swinging, swiping, and stabbing his sword into the ground.
At the end of this attack, the players can dish out their offense for some time. The boss’s other deadly attack is a stamping attack. The players must watch it out because of its range and a heavy follow-up sword attack.
At last, Leonine, at his last breath, will drop a weapon named Grafted Blade Greatsword.
