In-game description

Sword wrought from the remains of a god who should have lived a life eternal.

Thoughts on what the weapon portends are many and varied. Some consider it the mark of a great sin, or a sign of great devastation. Some think it as the end of an age, while others; the beginning.

Skill

Sacred Relic Sword icon
Wave of GoldFP 42 · Unique skill

Imbue the sword with bygone golden glory, then fire it at foes. A wide, golden wave fans out forwards, sweeping through all enemies caught in its path.

Where to find

Map pending
LocationErdtree

Leyndell, Ashen Capital

Starting Site of Grace: Elden Throne

Before you go

  • Defeat Radagon and the Elden Beast.
  • Keep the Elden Remembrance.
  1. Defeat Maliketh to return to the changed capital. Cross the ash toward the Erdtree and climb the familiar root route toward the sanctuary.
  2. Defeat Sir Gideon Ofnir in the sanctuary, then continue up to Queen's Bedchamber.
  3. Climb to the arena before the Erdtree and defeat Godfrey. Continue through his Hoarah Loux phase to finish the encounter and receive the remembrance.
  4. After defeating Hoarah Loux, activate Elden Throne. Enter the Erdtree and defeat Radagon followed by Elden Beast in the same encounter to receive Elden Remembrance.
  5. Return to Enia at Roundtable Hold before starting a later journey. The remembrance exchange remains available after the final fight.
  6. At Enia's remembrance exchange, select Sacred Relic Sword. Marika's Hammer is the alternative reward.

Notes

  • Requires 14 Strength, 24 Dexterity and 22 Faith, and weighs 11. Dexterity provides the strongest Physical scaling, Strength is weaker, and Faith improves Holy damage.
  • Has a critical rating of 110 for backstabs and ripostes. That rating does not give every ordinary attack or Wave of Gold a 10% bonus.
  • Wave of Gold costs 42 FP and 75 stamina. It sends a broad Holy wave across the ground, covering a much wider area as it travels.
  • The wave improves through Faith and upgrades independently of the sword's ordinary Physical damage. Dexterity strengthens the blade without strengthening that Holy wave in the same way.
  • Its damage decreases farther from the caster, and distant hits give much less stance pressure. The enormous visual coverage is useful for clearing groups rather than guaranteeing a stance break on every target.
  • Shard of Alexander and Holy damage bonuses improve Wave of Gold. Godfrey Icon does not because the skill cannot be charged. Incantation talismans and a seal's scaling do not improve a weapon skill.
  • The preparation and recovery are substantial. Cast from enough distance or a safe enemy recovery window rather than expecting the wave to interrupt every close attack.
  • The wave is useful for groups at Mohgwyn Palace's Palace Approach Ledge-Road, but rune gains still depend on the enemies and your separate rune-gain bonuses. The sword has no universal passive rune multiplier.
  • Uses Somber Smithing Stones to +10. Its skill and affinity are fixed, and grease or weapon enchantments cannot be applied.
  • Enia offers it after the final encounter. You can return to her before starting Journey 2, so do not leave unfinished pickups behind just to obtain this weapon.
  • Marika's Hammer is the other Elden Remembrance reward. A compatible duplication lets you choose both during the same journey.
