Elden Ring: How to Find the Game of Thrones Easter Egg Sword
Ultimately, though, there’s nothing really “special” about this fight. You’re going to have to learn to make the most out of some limited damage windows and conserve your stamina so that your reserves aren’t depleted whenever one of those windows open, but a lot of patience (and, if you have them available to you, a few powerful spells) will help you outlast this ferocious foe.
If you’re wondering if all those attempts are even worth the effort, just take a look at this incredible Colossal Sword that Leonine Misbegotten drops as soon as they’ve fallen:
Not only is that sword a pretty great option for Strength players looking for a new massive weapon to wield (assuming you have the whopping 40 Strength points needed to wield it, that is), but it comes with a unique and valuable skill called “Oath of Vengeance” that temporarily raises all of your attributes when activated. It’s not one of the absolute best weapons in the game (though it’s in that conversation for certain builds), but you can certainly get a lot of mileage out of it. It’s also the “Sword of Morne” that you need to acquire in order to complete the quest that Edgar assigns you (if you happened to run into him at Castle Morne).
More importantly, this sword is obviously a reference to the Iron Throne from the Song and Ice and Fire series: the fantasy series created by Elden Ring collaborator George R.R. Martin.
Much like the Iron Throne, the Grafted Blade Greatsword was crafted from various weapons acquired by whoever originally wielded it. Indeed, the weapon’s item description may even be trying to suggest that the sword’s creator came from the Seven Kingdoms (at least I believe that’s what the curious reference to a “country now-vanished” may slyly be referring to).
So while there’s an interesting discussion to be had about how much George R.R. Martin actually contributed to Elden Ring, it’s nice to see that FromSoftware found a little time to pay homage to one of Martin’s most iconic creations.
