Elden Ring Iron Greatsword: Location and Stats

The Elden Ring Iron Greatsword is not a fixed pickup — it is a drop, which is why so many players go looking for it in the wrong place.

Where to get it

It falls from Leonine Misbegotten and Misbegotten Crusader enemies, not from a chest or a corpse. Two reliable farming spots:

• Leyndell, Royal Capital — from the Avenue Balcony Site of Grace, head toward the Forbidden Lands; two Misbegotten patrol the route.
• Miquella's Haligtree — a Misbegotten Warrior north of the Haligtree Town Plaza Site of Grace.

The drop rate is low, so expect several kills before it appears. Resting at a nearby grace respawns the enemies for repeat attempts.

Requirements and scaling

You need 18 Strength and 10 Dexterity to wield it without a penalty. Unupgraded, it carries C scaling in Strength and E in Dexterity, so it rewards a Strength-leaning build over a Dexterity one.

Is it worth using

It is a plain, no-frills greatsword rather than a build-defining weapon — a fine stepping stone before you find something with a unique skill, but not a weapon to farm obsessively for.
