A greatsword fashioned from the backbone of a malformed giant, Sword of Milos is a Strength/Dexterity weapon in the Elden Ring. A weapon of choice for the Dung eater, this grotesque blade can only be obtained after you defeat him in a duel.
In this quest, we will help you acquire the Sword of Milos as fast as possible and also tell you how you can obtain it naturally without locking yourself out of a major questline.
Sword of Milos Location
Sword of Milos can only be obtained after you defeat the Dung Eater in a duel. Dung Eater can be found in a room next to the Twin Maiden Husk in the Roundtable Hold. However, the room will only open once you reach the Altus Plateau.
Talk to Dung Eater to start his questline. Find and give him a Seedbed Curse, and he will hand over the Sewer-Goal key. Go to the Leyndell capitals, also known as Subterranean Shunning Grounds to find his phantom there.
Once you free him, you have two options. Let him go or kill him. If you kill the Dung Eater, he will drop the Sword of Milos. If you let him go, his quest will continue which we recommend if you want to continue his questline.
Go back to Roundtable Hold and read the message left by the Dung eater. Meet him at the Outer Moat near the Royal capital, Leyndell. He will invade you at this point once you talk to Blackguard Big Boggart.
Defeat his phantom to obtain the Sword of Milos in Elden Ring. At this point, you can safely continue his questline to witness a different ending in the game.
