how to get all legendary weapons and why they are so special

Barney Stinson already said it many years before Elden Ring was released: Hidetaka Miyazaki’s latest work in alliance with George RR Martin is a totally legendary video game. And like any self-respecting Dark Souls, one of the most interesting tasks that we can carry out in the Middle Lands is that of locate all your legendary weaponswhich luckily are not that many.

Specifically, there are nine legendary weapons, which of course are among the best in the game, although there are others that have nothing to envy due to their exclusive nature. Today we are going to focus, in any case, on how to obtain each of these legendary weapons, especially one that is easy to lose in your first game and that you will not be able to repeat until you start an NG+.

Requirements to unlock each legendary weapon

It will comfort you to know that a good part of these legendary weapons are obtained directly from some bosses, both optional and those that follow the course of the story. For example, one of the first that you will have to face, the so-called Leo bastard

At the end of Morne Castle, he gives you one of the first legendary weapons in the game, which is a nod to Game of Thrones.

You just have to pay more attention to those that have to do with NPCs that you must kill or return to areas that you had apparently “cleaned” of enemies.

Also keep in mind that the requirements to later be able to wield these unique weapons are based on a series of above average conditions, so you will have to raise certain attributes before you can get the most out of them. And of course, they are weapons that end up making a difference from the beginning and when it comes to improving them, especially if we take advantage of their skills and attribute scale.

What’s more, they all have their own very special ability that we are going to let you discover for yourself when you get each one to surprise you.

Following the natural progressionthis would be the order of all the legendary…

Help him in the missions he gives you until he disappears again. After this he will end up invading you in Farum Azula, so you will have to kill him to get the legendary weapon from him.
