Where to get Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

If you are a Strength-Arcane user in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, make sure you get the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword in Scadu Altus. However, to access this area and all its weapons, you’ll first have to defeat Rellana, Twin Moon Knight.

However, if you want to try Strength-Arcane builds with some new weapons, here’s how to find the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword in the DLC, alongside its stats and best build.

Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword location

To get the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, head over to the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past, located southwest of the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace in Scadu Altus. There will be some Misbegotten enemies around here, but they should be pretty easy to deal with.

Once you are inside the cave, grab the Site of Grace and get ready to traverse into the forge to get the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.

Head in and pull the first lever

As you head in, keep following the path until you reach a wide room with some Misbegotten enemies, and a narrow path connecting the two ends of the room. Make your way through the narrow path, and interact with the lever on the left to open the door.

Second lever location in the forge

Once you head in through the newly opened door, make your way through the narrow path with the lava blob enemies, and you will again reach a wide room with rubble scattered around.

You should be able to see the second lever from here but it’s quite high for you to reach, so make your way through the narrow opening, guarded by the Golem Smith on the right side of the room. Pay attention while moving through the narrow path as you will soon find a ladder on the right.

Climb the ladder and follow the path, and you will soon reach the floor with the lever. Just like before, interact with it to open another door, and move forward.

Final lever

To finally get the last lever and get to the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, make your way through the newly opened door, and interact with the lever on your immediate right.

However, you’ll have to be quick immediately after pulling it, as you’ll have to step on the door that is going back up and use it as an elevator to reach the upper level. Now all that is left to do is to head over to the forge in front of you and get the weapon by interacting with it.

Best build

Keeping in mind the scaling, the best build for the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword is definitely Strength-Arcane. As you upgrade the weapon, its scaling will also be improved, making it great for breaking enemy stances, considering that most bosses in the DLC have high Poise.

Pair it with another Greatsword, and you will have the best build for jump attacks, Poise breaks, and dealing heavy damage. However, make sure that you have a considerable amount of Poise for yourself as well, otherwise you might be staggered in between your attacks.

For Talismans, make sure to equip the Claw Talisman for enhanced jump attacks, and the Great Jar’s Arsenal Talisman for an increase to your carry weight limit. Alongside these, you can try out Radagon’s Soreseal for increased attributes and Green Turtle Talisman for enhanced Stamina recovery speed.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is a rather difficult experience for most players, so make sure that you are geared up with the right builds so that you can face the extensive list of bosses in this massive world a bit more confidently.
