A sword fashioned by Crystalians to protect their pure crystal and wait for the return of their god, the Crystal Sword in Elden Ring represents the resilience and intelligence of a dying breed. Marked by a blue hue, this sword is an amazing weapon for Strength and Sorcery builds.
In this guide, we will tell you how to find the elusive Crystal Sword in the Elden Ring and how you can use it effectively.
Crystal Sword Location
Crystal Sword can be obtained from a dead body in the Village of the Albinaurics. This village is in southern Liurnia, west to the point where you entered Liurnia after leaving the Stormveil Castle.
Drop down into the lake and hug the left wall. Make sure to use Torrent as this area is full of poisonous bog. Keep riding left, without climbing any cliffs, until you come across a narrow path leading to a dark village.
This is the Village of Albinaurics, an important place to obtain one piece of Haligtree’s Secret Medallion. Turn left and go past the well from the Site of Grace inside the shack.
Cross the wooden bridge and go to the northeast corner to find a dead body. Interact with the dead body to obtain the Crystal Sword in the Elden Ring.
