In the world of Elden Ring, not all weapons are created equally. Some are not only superior to others in stats, but they also carry a lot of history which makes them ultra-special. Such is the case with Legendary Armaments.
These 9 special weapons are not only unique but extra rare too. Due to their association with the main characters in the game, finding and learning about these weapons rewards players with a trophy/achievement. In this guide, we will tell players about the locations and stats of every Elden Ring Legendary Armament.
Every Legendary Armament Location in Elden Ring
There is a total of 9 Legendary Armaments (unique weapons if you may) in Elden Ring that can be obtained in various ways. Some can simply be looted while others require players to defeat a particular boss to obtain the legendary armament. We will be explaining the process of acquiring all 9 Legendary armaments in detail below.
- Bolt of Gransax
- Dark Moon Greatsword
- Devourer’s Scepter
- Eclipse Shotel
- Golden Order Greatsword
- Grafted Blade Greatsword
- Marais Executioner’s Sword
- Ruins Greatsword
- Sword of Night and Flame
Bolt of Gransax
A legendary armament that was once wielded by the dragon Gransax, Bolt of Gransax is a spear that can be obtained by exploring Leyndell, the royal capital. This is the only missable legendary armament if the players decide to progress through Crumbling Farum Azula before acquiring it (can be obtained on the next playthrough).
To obtain this spear, go to the Erdtree Sanctuary site of grace (which can only be accessed after defeating Godfrey, the first golden lord). From there turn back and go outside. Climb down the stairs and use the elevator inside the building to reach the lower levels. Go down further via stairs and look to your left to notice a massive spear statue buried in the ground.
Turn left from the bottom of the stairs to reach the balcony. There are a couple of difficult enemies there. Jump on the railing and drop down on the spear below. Make sure to time it well as this jump can easily be missed. Climb the spear carefully to find Bolt of Gransax at its very top.

These are all the 9 Legendary Armaments players can find in Elden Ring to unlock the “Legendary Armaments” trophy/achievement. However, in some instances, this trophy/achievement gets bugged and doesn’t unlock. For completionists, this can be a major headache but worry not as we know a workaround.
How to fix Legendary Armaments Achievement Bug
If you are unable to unlock the achievement/trophy for collecting all Legendary Armaments, all you need to do is travel to any site of grace and drop all 9 of your Legendary Armaments on the ground. Pick them up the dropped weapons and this should fix the bugged trophy/achievement.
