Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
Horned Warrior's Greatsword Location, Stats, and Scaling
Horned Warrior's Greatsword is a Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree that scales with Strength, Dexterity, and Faith. Read on to learn how to get the Horned Warrior's Greatsword, as well as its location, description, upgrades, stat requirements, and best Ashes of War.
Horned Warrior's Greatsword Location
| Note: Horned Warrior's Greatsword is only available if you own the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. |
Dropped by the Horned Warrior Near the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom
The Horned Warrior's Greatsword is a guaranteed drop from the Horned Warrior that you fight just before the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom site of grace in Enir-Ilim. It will be the Horned Warrior that uses Storm Skills.
We recommend activating the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom site of grace first before attempting to get the weapon as Horned Warriors are tough enemies in general, and you wouldn't want to walk all the way from the Spiral Rise site of grace if you are defeated.

Reaching the Horned Warrior From the Spiral Rise Site of Grace
| 1 |  From the Spiral Rise site of grace, climb the staircase within the tower until you reach a window that leads outside. You will find one of the shamans who's been sniping you in the staircase earlier on your left. Go around the rooftops on your right to proceed. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  A stone bird enemy will appear as you go up the first roof, and two more as you move further to the west. Jump over to the platform with the fourth stone bird, go up the stairs with the shaman, then exit on the other side of the tower. |
| 3 |  You'll find the Ice-Aspected Horned Warrior on your right as you reach the top of the staircase. Fight or run past this enemy and make your way to the tower window to the east. |
| 4 |  Go to the top of the tower where you'll find a lift guarded by two shamans. Exit to the west and go up the stairs to find the Wind-Aspected Horned Warrior that will drop the Horned Warrior's Greatsword. |
