Notes
The following location: Found below the Cathedral of Manus CelesGrace after giving Ranni the Dark Moon Ring. You obtain the Ring by progressing Ranni's Quest, which is complex and requires you to do quite a lot of content:. Radahn must be defeated so that the stars may once again move across the sky (with one crashing into LimgraveRegion and unlocking access to Nokron. Retrieve the Fingerslayer Blade from the now accessible eternal city (the chest containing the item can only be opened once you have talked to Ranni at her Rise to join her cause). Return the blade to Ranni, and you will gain access to Ainsel RiverDungeon main from the teleporter located in Renna's RiseLandmark. Pick up the Ranni doll ahead of where you were teleported to, and talk to it three times from the nearby site of grace to be enlisted to fend off the Baleful Shadows located deeper in past Nokstella. Upon defeating said enemy the player is given the Discarded Palace Key. Use this key to unlock the chest that houses the Dark Moon Ring, located in the Raya Lucaria Grand LibraryGrace. The last step is to continue past where you fought the Baleful Shadows, through the Lake of RotDungeon to the Grand CloisterGrace, down to the end where a coffin can be interacted with by the edge of a waterfall. This will take the player down to fight Astel, Naturalborn of the Void. After beating this boss a seal will block further progress to the elevator to the Moonlight Plateau until the player acquires the Dark Moon Ring. At this point head to The Cathedral of Manus CelesGrace, carefully falling down the into the cave where Ranni is located with her dead Two Fingers, progressing through the interactions and dialogue with her to be given the Dark Moon Greatsword.

This weapon has a unique R2, which fires a projectile when buffed by its skill. The projectile does 22 stance damage, or 35 when charged. The damage scales with weapon upgrade level and INT. The buffed R2's Projectile is affected by Magic Scorpion Charm, Godfrey Icon, Warrior Jar Shard and Shard of Alexander talismans. It is NOT affected by the Axe Talisman nor the Spiked Cracked Tear. With Update 1.07, the weapon's blade itself was given damage detection while imbued with it's skill. This allows the Axe Talisman and Spiked Cracked Tear to activate if using charged attacks against an enemy if the blade is within distance. As of 1.12 the second R1 onehanded swing has a motion value of 68, meaning it is doing 68 of the weapons AP. Every other Greatsword has a motion value of 101.
Sell Value: 1000
