How to Get the Godslayer's Greatsword

2	At the south of the tower, look for a large tree root below the cliffs and hop onto it (you can use Torrent). Follow the root towards the tower and drop down onto the platform at the end.
3	Follow the path to the left and climb up the ladder.
4	When you reach the top of the ladder, do not climb the ladder in front of you. Instead, turn to the right and head towards the ladder in the distance. Remember that you can use Torrent to make the jumps.
5	Once you climb the ladder, face the left and cross towards the platform in the distance. Be careful, as there are more gaps on the narrow stone bridge.
6	When you reach the platform, there will be another narrow stone bridge that you will need to cross. There will be a ladder on the other side you can use to climb up.
7	At the top of the ladder will be the Divine Tower of Caelid: Center Site of Grace and two paths on either direction. Go to the descending stairway on the left to continue on the path to the the Godslayer's Greatsword. ⓘ Going to the right will take you to the top of the tower, where you can activate Radahn's Great Rune.
8	Reach the bottom of the stairway and defeat the enemies. Afterwards, turn to the right overlooking the tower's center.
9	Drop onto the horizontal pillar in front of you.
10	Face to the right and follow the narrow path that leads to a ledge over looking another pillar below.
11	Drop down unto the pillar. There is a corpse here with a Golden Rune 12 you can pick up.
12	Stand on the ledge and drop down to the next pillar below.
13	Stand on the ledge and look for a round platform. Drop down unto it. Be careful, this can be tricky to land on. Don't roll off the edge, but either walk or jump towards it.
14	Once you land on the small platform, turn around and jump towards the platform jutting out below.
15	Jump towards the next platform.
16	Drop down to the pillar below.
17	Head towards the enemy guarding the pressure plate. This will call an elevator you can ride up.
18	At the top is a ladder and another hallway. Proceed through the hallway to continue. ⓘ Taking the ladder will lead to a shortcut door you can use to get back to the Divine Tower of Caelid: Center Site of Grace.
19	Proceed down the hallway past the ladder, and defeat the Blackflame Monk patrolling this area. The hallway looks it ends here, but the way forward is actually on the ledge next to the dead end wall. Follow the ledge until you reach a crumbling pillar.
20	Drop down on the pillar. It will break, but you will not take any fall damage.
21	You'll end up on another pillar with a pressure plate to summon another elevator.
