Bolt of Gransax Location

Found on the Giant Spear in Leyndell, Royal Capital

The Bolt of Gransax can be found on the giant spear held by the massive stone dragon in Leyndell, Royal Capital. The area you can jump down from to reach the giant spear can be accessed by taking the elevator west of the Godfrey, First Elden Lord boss room (Erdtree Sanctuary site of grace).

However, do note that the Bolt of Gransax is missable. Make sure to get it before you defeat Maliketh, the Black Blade in Crumbling Farum Azula. Otherwise, Leyndell will become the Capital of Ash, locking you out of getting this weapon until you start an NG+ cycle.
