If you are striving to get a complete collection of Colossal Swords in Elden Ring, your eyes will fall on the Ruins Greatsword. This mighty piece of ancient ruins has enormous weight, which means it can deal decent physical damage, but that's not all. Having absorbed the power of ancient magic, this weapon acquired the Wave of Destruction skill. This allows you to strike in front of you, causing a straight line of powerful gravitational force. Add to this the Strength scaling with S rank after only nine upgrades, and you get something incredible.

The good news is that getting this Colossal Sword doesn't require much effort. To add it to your inventory, you will only have to defeat several optional bosses in southern Caelid.

Where To Find the Ruins Greatsword in Elden Ring

Ruins Greatsword location on the map in Elden Ring

The only way to get the Ruins Greatsword in Elden Ring is to defeat the Crucible Knight and Misbegotten Warrior side bosses. You can find these enemies in Redmane Castle Plaza on a small island in the southeast corner of Caelid. However, facing these opponents is not that straightforward. Eventually, you need to meet the following conditions to find the room of these bosses:

  • Continue along the Ranni the Witch questline until you reach Redmane Castle.
  • Participate in the Radahn Festival and defeat Starscourge Radahn.
  • Go up to the northernmost tower of the palace and talk to Jerren.
  • Restart this location and go to Redmane Castle Plaza Site of Grace. Walking a little north from this Site of Grace, you will see a yellow magical passage leading straight to the boss arena.

If you've already fought the Crucible Knight in Evergaol in Limgrave and defeated Leonine Misbegotten, fighting these enemies won't hold any surprises. In fact, it won't cause too many problems, but you can make it more comfortable. Once you enter the arena, try to defeat Misbegotten Warrior as quickly as possible. The Crucible Knight will appear only a minute after the start of the battle, so with enough persistence and stable DPS, you can split the battle into two stages instead of fighting both bosses at once. After defeating your opponents, you will receive the coveted Ruins Greatsword.
