Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Freyja's Greatsword Location, Stats, and Scaling

Add to Watchlist

Freyja's Greatsword is a Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree that scales with Strength and Dexterity. Read on to learn how to get the Freyja's Greatsword, as well as its location, description, upgrades, stat requirements, and best Ashes of War.

Freyja's Greatsword Location

Note: Freyja's Greatsword is only available if you own the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Obtained by Defeating Leda and Her Allies in Enir-Ilim

Freyja's Greatsword is obtained from Freyja's body at the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom in Enir-Ilim after defeating Leda and her allies. If you haven't seen all the interactions with Freyja before burning the sealing tree, Freyja's Greatsword will appear on other locations instead based on her questline's progress.

The weapon will appear in front of the Storehouse, Seventh Floor site of grace if you didn't bring her the Letter to Freyja quest item from Ansbach before burning the sealing tree, or at the Three-Path Cross in Gravesite Plain if you did not talk to Freyja at all before reaching Enir-Ilim.

How to Reach Freyja and Leda

1
Once you have burned the sealing tree, you will be transported immediately to Enir-Ilim. Activate the Enir-Ilim: Outer Wall site of grace and follow the stairs upward. Head past the Divine Beast Warrior and into the building to find the First Rise site of grace above the stairs to your left.
2
From the First Rise site of grace, head out the southwest doorway and go up the stairs into the courtyard. Cross the small broken bridge in front then take the stairs going up to progress further.
3
Head past the Divine Beast Warrior into the stairs leading up. Deal with the Erdtree Priest casting Spira and keep running up the stairs. Open the double doors at the top to find the Spiral Rise site of grace.
4
Take the spiral staircase up and enter the first window you see on your left where another Erdtree Shaman is. Take a right into the series of roofs with the Gravebirds and a series of stairs until you encounter yet another Divine Beast Warrior.
5
From the tower behind the Divine Beast Warrior, head northeast and enter the tower on your right. Climb the spiral staircase and eliminate the nearby Erdtree Priests by the lift.
6
Exit the south doorway and follow the path where you will encounter another Divine Beast Warrior. Past him will be the Cleansing Anteroom Chamber site of grace.
7
Go up the next set of stairs to meet Leda. Invade her through the red summon sign and defeat her team so you can loot Freyja's Greatsword, the Golden Lion Shield, and Freyja's armor set from Freyja's body.
