I have only played two other soulsborne games, Elden Ring and Bloodborne. Both of those games I had the holy moonlight sword and dark moon greatsword as my main weapon for most of the game. I will soon start dark souls 3 and I would like to know how early it is possible to get the sword, and if I can use it for a majority of the game

#

earliest you can get it is after 5 bosses excluding any kind of exploit

#

Ok thank you

Iudex Gundyr
Vordt of the Boreal Valley
Curse-rotted Greatwood
Dancer of the Boreal Valley
Oceiros the Consumed King

Is oceiros a main boss I will come across just by playing the game, or is he missable

#

Two answer your question fast and simply about 70 percent in game

#

The boss is optional but not that hard and easy to find with a turtorial

#

BUT it requires you to defeat the Dancer of the Boreal valley which is considered pretty hard. I personally didn't struggle with this boss but the recommended level is about 50-60 I would say

#

If you find yourself having trouble with the Dancer or the consumer king, don't hesitate in texting me and I will help you although I would suggest you to play the game and get to the point where you can obtain the moonlight Greatsword naturally.

#

Secondly: you can't use it for the majority. There are only a few bosses after the consumed king (If you skip the entire game by instantly going to this point and somehow manage to kill the Dancer on a low level you can play most of the game with it)

#

I hope this answers your question well fellow

Thank you very much. I will probably play throughbit naturally like you said. I got dark moon greatsword really early in elden ring, and Ranni's questline was a nightmare for me to finish. Even if I can't use it for most of the game I will just wait it out until I get it. Which weapon do I use until then which has a similar build so I can have the stats needed when I do get the sword?

You could run Claymore with a crystal infusion

#

Claymore is in the second area, and the ability use crystal infusions is in the fourth

#

Bastard Sword as an alternative early greatsword option, both get the same AR

#

robust sapphire You could run Claymore with a crystal infusion

I would lean more towards the Lothric knights straightsword

#

It is obtainable EXTREMELY early and gets an S scaling in intelligence if infused right

robust sapphire Dec 30, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

Broadsword is better

#

I'm only suggesting Claymore/Bastard Sword because they're in the same weapon class as MLGS

onyx temple Dec 30, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

Ik

#

But why should broadsword be better if I am allowed to ask?

robust sapphire Dec 30, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

more damage

onyx temple Dec 30, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

Worse scaling in trade off for a bit more base damage

#

It has a lot less range though

robust sapphire Dec 30, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

scaling is only as good as the base AR it has to scale from

#

range is irrelevant in PvE

#

#

Anyway @frosty cove listen to him he is more experienced than me

Stats?

robust sapphire Dec 30, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

11/18/40 str/dex/int

onyx temple Dec 30, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

Thx

robust sapphire Dec 30, 2024, 4:24 PM

#

Broadsword only requires 10/10 str/dex, which is another benefit it has for non-dex builds

onyx temple Dec 30, 2024, 4:25 PM

#

@frosty cove you need 16 strengt and 11 Dex and 26 int to wield the weapon. I would start as a sorcerer and then just level Dex and strength use a broadsword or a Lothric knight sword and level int.

#

Play as a caster and pray to god when fighting the dancer I guess

robust sapphire Dec 30, 2024, 4:27 PM

#

Knight will out-perform sorcerer with even a small amount of investment into vitality

#

frosty cove Dec 30, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

I know you said it is really early, but how do I get the Lothric knight sword?

robust sapphire Dec 30, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

you can farm it from Lothric Knights

onyx temple Dec 30, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

Go to high wall of lothric

robust sapphire Dec 30, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

or you can buy it from Greirat

onyx temple Dec 30, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

And farm it

#

You want to go to the tower on the wall bonfire (search it up on yt if I can't find it) and then just run downstairs kill the knight that's instantly there and repeat

Ok thank you both a ton. Dark souls 3 is downloading, and it will be a while but I'll update here when I get moonlight
