Players have an incredible amount of creative leeway when it comes to developing their characters to take them through the Lands Between with Elden Ring. There are hundreds of different weapons to select from, making it easy to feel overwhelmed when trying to find the one that's best for you. However, this abundance of choice only leads to an incredible amount of build variety. A character build that places an emphasis solely on strength may involve the use of larger weapons, which trade off speed for increased damage output. The open world of Elden Ring contains a variety of weapons, some of which can be found simply by wandering around, while other weapons require you to track down certain targets in order to obtain their unique weapon. One of these unique weapons is wielded by Blaidd, a creature that is half-human and half-wolf. Acquiring the Great Sword of the Royal FamilyIn order for players to obtain the Royal Greatsword, they must first finish all of Ranni the Witch's side quests, which also gives them the opportunity to choose how her story will conclude. When you have finished with this questline, you should go back to Rannis Rise and make your way to the steps in front of the tower.

Blaidd will be waiting for you there, and he will already be hostile; you will need to defeat him in order to obtain his weapon. Blaidd will immediately launch an assault against the player, but you will have the opportunity to ambush him by teleporting into the tower and approaching him from behind. Despite the larger size of his weapons, Blaidd is a quick-moving foe to contend with. Make it a point to remain out of his long-range vision while avoiding going too far away from him. The long-range leaping attack that Blaidd possesses will quickly close the distance between them while also dealing a significant amount of damage. If you see his weapon beginning to become surrounded by ice particles, you should maintain a safe distance from him because the next attack he will finish with a frost blast that can deal quite a bit of additional damage in addition to the physical damage he normally deals. Although Blaidd has no significant resistances to damage other than that caused by magic, he has no resistance to damage caused by fire or piercing, making this your best strategy for taking him out of the fight.

Applying The Royal Greatsword as a weaponTo properly wield the Royal Greatsword, a character needs to have 26 strength, 18 dexterity, and 22 intelligence

- Because of its larger size, slower attacks, and heavier weight, this weapon requires a greater amount of stamina to wield effectively while simultaneously maintaining a high rate of movement

- This weapon inflicts both physical and magical damage, but the magic damage it deals is significantly more significant

- This weapon scales fairly well in terms of increasing both its intelligence and its level of physical power as it is upgraded

- This weapon is best used by a build that prioritizes strength and intelligence

- It is impossible to combine it with other ashes of war because it already has the special ability Wolf's Assault attached to it

- As you launch forward to attack your opponent and finish the combo with a blast of frost damage, this ability will feel familiar from Blaidd

- This ability has a cost of 20 FP, but it is extremely beneficial for a weapon that is normally a little bit slower than its opponent in terms of closing the distance between you and them
