How to get the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword in Shadow of the Erdtree

With a slew of new weapons introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC released for Elden Ring, you’ll have your pick of the litter when it comes to which one you want to take. There are plenty to choose from, like Devona’s Hammer.

One of the best you can find is the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, perfect for those who focus on Dexterity and Strength. If you need help locating this Colossal Sword, we’re here to show you how to get it in your inventory.

Where to find Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword

The only way to get the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword is at the altar of the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past. Once you find the altar, all you need to do is examine it to receive the sword for you to use. 

To get to the altar, go to the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past minor dungeon, which is found just slightly to the southeast of Castle Ensis. You can use one of the Sites of Grace to travel there fast. You can also use the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace and travel southwest if you want to get there.

The exact location of the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past is marked on the map below.

Once you’re at the Ruined Forged of Starfall Past, head inside through the hole in the wall and go down the ladder. Once you’re at the Site of Grace, go through the archway and across the bridge to pull the lever to the left. Follow the passage this opens.

Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword Location

You’ll come to a large room with a second floor. Past the pile of stones and to the right, there is another long passage you can follow. Be aware that if you haven’t cleared them out, you will have to fight some enemies in these corridors. Find the ladder in the second corridor, and climb it. 

Continue following the path up past the lava and up the rubble, and you’ll end up on a large metal platform. Down below, on the right side, drop down to the bridge. Across it, pull the lever and you’ll be lowered down again. In the archway to the right, there is another lever for you to pull. This will let you raise up to the second floor on the right, where the altar is.

As mentioned, all you need to do is interact with the altar to receive the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.

Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword Skill

The Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword is a Colossal Sword that scales with Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane. Arcane specifically will increase the physical and magic damage of this sword, so if you’re an Arcane focus, this is a great choice.

This weapon’s skill is White Light Charge, which lets you create a charging attack with white light that works great for piercing enemies. You’ll get plenty of thrusting damage like you would with a Heavy Thrusting Sword such as the Sword Lance.

This Colossal Sword packs a real punch, so be sure to pick it up if you’re in the area. Just make sure you’ve completed Castle Ensis first.
