In addition to Blaidd's armor, players can obtain his iconic weapon, the Royal Greatsword. This colossal sword scales well with Strength and Intelligence, making it ideal for Elden Ring Runes builds that incorporate melee and magic.
How to Get the Royal Greatsword
The Royal Greatsword is rewarded after defeating Blaidd at Ranni's Rise. Its skill, Wolf Assault, unleashes a powerful ice attack, making it one of the most visually stunning and effective weapons in the game.
Using Elden Ring Runes and Items to Prepare
Obtaining Blaidd's armor set and Royal Greatsword requires careful preparation. Here's how Elden Ring Runes and Elden Ring Items can help:
Rune Farming: Use Rune farming locations like Mohgwyn Palace to level up your character. Allocate Runes to Strength and Intelligence if you plan to wield the Royal Greatsword.
Weapon Upgrades: Use Smithing Stones or Somber Smithing Stones to upgrade your weapons. Blaidd's fight can be challenging, so having a powerful weapon is crucial.
Status Resistance Items: Scarlet Rot and Frostbite are common hazards during Ranni's questline. Stock up on Preserving Boluses and Thawfrost Boluses to Elden Ring Items counter these effects.
