The Moonlight Greatsword is a powerful weapon in Elden Ring. It's the unique Skill of the Dark Moon Greatsword. After completing Ranni's questline, players will receive the Moonlight Greatsword from Ranni herself as a reward. The weapon requires 16 Strength, 11 Dexterity, and 38 Intelligence. Additionally, the Greatsword scales with the same three stats.

How To Get The Moonlight Greatsword In Elden Ring
To get the Moonlight Greatsword, players have to complete the final step in Ranni's questline. She will then give the weapon to them in the Cathedral of Manus Celes. It's one of the longest Elden Ring questline, so get ready to travel through many locations and defeat some bosses.
At first, Ranni introduces herself as Renna in Church of Elleh. She gives the Spirit Calling Bell, which is a crucial item in Elden Ring. After that, players need to go to Three Sisters and talk with Ranni in Ranni's Rise. Agreeing to work for her will trigger her questline.
The Witch then tasks Tarnished to bring her the hidden treasure of Nokron, the Eternal City. Travel and fast travel are unavailable until players exhaust the dialogue of all NPCs in the tower.
Meet Blaidd, the Half-Wolf in Sifora River. It can be accessed by using the Lift inside Siofra River Well in Mistwood, Limgrave. While exploring the underground area, Blaidd can be found standing near a cliff. He tells players to ask Preceptor Seluvis for directions to Nokron. The sorcerer is in his tower in Three Sisters.
After meeting Seluvis, he will send Tarnished to find Sellen, who's stuck in a dungeon south of Agheel Lake Shore.
Sellen says that killing Starscourge Radahn, a Demi-God, will unleash a star that will reveal Nokron's entrance. After traveling to Redmane Castle and defeating Radahn, Tarnished need to go to Mistwood Ruins in Limgrave and spot a cluster of floating rocks near a cliff. That's the entrance location. Upon venturing further into the Eternal City, players will come across a room that has a big skeleton. Inside it is the hidden treasure of Nokron, Fingerslayer Blade.
Give the blade to Ranni who will disappear after rewarding Tarnished with a Carian Inverted Statue which can be used in the Carian Study Hall. This room is located inside the Divine Tower of Liurnia. Use the statue to reach the highest floor in the tower and get the Cursemark of Death.
After that, travel to Renna's Rise and climb the ladder to use the teleporter. It will take players to Ainsel River underground. Grab the Miniature Ranni and talk with it three times while resting on a Site of Lost Grace.
Next, head to Nokstrella to fight the Baleful Shadow. Upon killing him, Ranni will give players the Discarded Palace Key. This key can be used to open the chest that contains the Dark Moon Ring inside the Raya Lucaria Grand Library. However, to access it, Tarnished have to beat Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon first.
Afterward, teleport back to the shadow location and continue forward until Tarnished reaches Lake of Rot. Enter the big building and interact with a coffin that'll take players to Astel, Naturalborn of the Void. Defeating this boss will open up a way to Moonlight Altar.
Ride Torrent to Cathedral of Manus Celes and jump down carefully. Giver Ranni the Dark Moon Ring and she'll reward Tarnished with the Moonlight Greatsword.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S.
