A greatsword crafted from the golden-hue meteoric ore, Onyx Lord’s Greatsword in Elden Ring can manipulate gravity. This weapon is reserved for Onyx Lords, a race that emerges from the meteorite that struck the Lands Between.
In this guide, we will help you collect the Onyx Lord’s Greatsword and craft a build around it that is a mix of raw Strength and Gravitational Sorcery.
Onyx Lord’s Greatsword Location
Onyx Lord’s Greatsword can be obtained by killing the Onyx Lord mini-boss inside the Sealed Tunnel.
This tunnel can be found in the Capital Outskirts. To reach this tunnel, start from the Grand Lift of Rold until you reach the Outer Wall Phantom Tree Site of Grace.
From this site, turn right and go east. You will soon come across a small ravine. Drop down and hug the wall to your right. There is a small opening (marked on the wall) leading to the Sealed Tunnel.
To enter the tunnel, hit the illusory wall to the right of the Site of Grace. Go down until you come across a treasure chest. Hit the wall behind it to unlock a new path.
Use the elevator to go down and hit another illusory wall to continue your journey. Hit another illusory wall and use tree trunks to reach the other side of the room.
Drop down from the right of the platform and go to the end of the cave. Hit the illusory wall to see another path with branches. Follow the path down until you reach the boss room.
Onyx Lord is an easy enemy who uses Gravity magic. Dodge its attacks and attack it whenever there is an opening. Once defeated, the boss will drop Onyx Lord’s Greatsword in Elden Ring.
