Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree boasts several exciting new weapon types. The Light Greatsword is one of these new weapon types that you should definitely look out for. The good news is that you can find one early in the DLC called Milady. This guide will show you how.
Milady Light Greatsword location in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
The Milady Light Greatsword can be found by going to the Castle Front entrance. The fastest way to get to it is to start at the Castle Front Place of Grace located on the northeast side of the Gravesite Plain in the Land of Shadow. To find this specific Place of Grace, simply open your map and look for the long bridge titled Ellac Greatbridge. This bridge is located just northeast of the Three-Way Cross Site of Grace.
When you get to the Castle Front, keep going northeast over another smaller bridge that goes straight into the castle. You will then come face to face with a Giant Knight guarding the entrance. This guy can punish if you don’t have the proper equipment or aren’t at a higher level, so you can always outrun him and avoid him completely. After you’ve dealt with him, look to the left to find a staircase that wraps behind several buildings on the left.
Don’t worry, you’re almost there. Now run left around the side of the building where you will discover another set of small wooden stairs that lead to the roof. You’ll now have to face a standard knight enemy patrol, which isn’t too difficult, so deal with him before going up the stairs. Directly in front of you will be yet another ladder that goes up into a tower. Climb this ladder to find a chest with the Milady Light Greatsword in it. The screenshot above shows you exactly where to find the weapon.
Light Greatsword (Milady) explained
As I mentioned, the Milady is a type of Light Greatsword in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. The Light Greatsword is a new weapon type and I can’t recommend it enough (but also be sure to check out the new martial arts fighting style in the DLC).
These swords have the reach of regular Greatswords but are much lighter and therefore easier to wield. Your attacks will therefore be much faster but won’t pack as much punch as standard Greatswords. But what’s cool is that Light Greatswords, including Milady, use both Strength and Dexterity, while Greatswords only use Strength.
What’s also worth mentioning is that the Milady Light Greatsword also has the skill Impaling Thrust, allowing you to impale weaponry and break through enemy shields. To make full use of this ability, build up power first and then dash forward for a powerful thrust that will cut an enemy’s guard. The Milady is therefore an excellent and obvious choice against any shield enemies.
