Elden Ring - How To Get The Grafted Blade Greatsword

gamespot.com:

There's never been a better time to be a Strength player. While it's always been a viable strategy in previous From Software titles, Elden Ring has upped the ante with a greater, more diverse selection of Greatswords, Glaives, Hammers, and other high-Strength weapons than ever.

There may be tons of options to choose from, but that doesn't mean some Strength weapons aren't better than others. Near the top of the list is the Grafted Blade Greatsword. However, getting your hands on it--and reaching the stats required to wield it--takes some work.

The Grafted Blade Greatsword is a legendary sword that appears to be made up of… other, smaller swords. It deals 162 base Physical Damage, but scales with Strength. When wielded two-handed and leveled all the way up to +10, the weapon is capable of dealing well over 1,000 points of damage per hit.

Its Skill, Oath of Vengeance, is extremely powerful as well, adding five points to all your Attributes for 30 seconds, as well as increasing Poise. It may not be the flashiest weapon Skill in the game, but the effect deceptively potent. It is especially effective in boss fights, where you need all the stat bumps you can get.

However, there is a catch: The Grafted Blade Greatsword requires a whopping 40 Strength to wield. It's a tall order, especially considering how early in the game you can find the weapon. But with enough grinding, farming, and potentially respecing once you've beaten Rennalla, you can get there sooner than you might think.
