A curved greatsword made from the shunned blood of the omen king, Morgott’s Cursed Sword is a thing of beauty in Elden Ring. To stop the tarnished from burning down the erdtree and save the grace from being lost forever, Morgott stands firm on his throne with his trusty sword.
Morgott’s Cursed Sword is a boss weapon that can only be obtained after killing the boss and obtaining their remembrance. In this guide, we will take you to the city of gods and help you defeat its rightful heir.
Morgott’s Cursed Sword Location
Morgott’s Cursed Sword can be found mid-game when you complete Lyndell, the Royal capital. After you get through Lyndell for the first time before you burn away the Erdtree, you meet Morgott, the Omen King, who tries to stop you. He is using the sword during the fight.
After you defeat Morgott, you get the Remembrance of the Omen King which can be used to purchase this sword from Finger Reader Enia found at Roundtable Hold. You can learn more about how to get to and defeat Morgott from our Morgott, the Omen King Boss Fight guide.
Morgott’s Cursed Sword Stats and Requirements
Morgott’s Cursed Sword requires 35 Dexterity, 17 Arcane, and 14 Strength to use. It has C scaling in Dexterity, D scaling in Arcane, and E scaling in Strength.
This weapon primarily scales with Dexterity. Morgott’s Cursed Sword also inflicts 60 Bleed per hit, and the bleed effect of the Curved Greatsword scales with Arcane.
The Weapon Skill for Morgott’s Cursed Sword is Cursed-Blood Slice. This allows you to dash forward and swing your sword leaving a trail of blood, which explodes after a small delay. Another follow-up skill attack can follow the initial attack of the skill.
The weapon has good range and damage. Its scaling makes the weapon versatile, and you can use it even if you are an Arcane or Strength build, provided you have the required Dex. The bleed property of the weapon makes it useful in all PvE situations.
The Weapon Skill has a delayed explosion. This may seem counterproductive, but this quality of the weapon is excellent for catching rollers in PvP and when fighting NPC invaders. The initial swing deals damage, and if your enemy decides to immediately roll in to attack, the delayed explosions will get them.
Like the rest of the special weapons, it can’t be infused with any Ash of War or consumables. You can’t use any magic enchantment on this sword, either.
Morgott’s Cursed Sword can be upgraded with the help of Somber Smithing Stones up to +10. At its highest level, it deals 294 physical damage.
