Detailed Achievement Guide#

Complete Legendary Collectible Compendium#

The legendary armaments include the Sword of Night and Flame, the Bolt of Gransax, the Eclipse Shotel, the Golden Order Greatsword, the World-Devourer Scepter, the Giant-Crusher, the Crown of the Elden Lord (a weapon), Maliketh’s Black Blade, and the Dark Moon Greatsword. Most sit in the royal capital of Leyndell and the Mountaintops of the Giants before the Erdtree burns, with a few tucked away in hidden areas. Collect every last one before you set the Erdtree alight.

Legendary Equipment#

The legendary equipment spans 5 achievements in total: 9 armaments, 6 ashen remains, 7 sorceries, 5 incantations, and 8 talismans. These items are scattered across the game — some in hidden areas (the Sword of Night and Flame, for example, is behind Caria Manor), others tied to side quests (the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, for instance, is at the Dragon Temple). Use an interactive map to tick off each collectible.

The legendary equipment achievements total 5, covering 9 armaments, 6 ashen remains, 7 sorceries, 5 incantations, and 8 talismans. They are spread all over the Lands Between — some in hidden areas, some locked behind side quests. An interactive map is the best way to track every item.

Missable Achievements#

Achievement	Miss Window	Tips
Millicent	Before burning the Erdtree	Her questline must be started from the Consecrated Snowfield and cannot progress after the burning; it must also be finished before you take down Malenia
Legendary Sorceries	Partially time-limited	Stars of Ruin is in a hidden chest in Sellia, Town of Sorcery; Comet Azur is on Mt. Gelmir and requires interacting with Azur
Legendary Incantations	Partially time-limited	Flame of the Fell God is in the capital’s sewers and cannot be obtained after the burning
Legendary Ashen Remains	Partially time-limited	Black Knife Tiche is a night-time pickup at the Blade’s Catacombs, and requires Ranni’s questline to reach a certain point first
Legendary Armaments	No strict deadline	Some still require progressing specific questlines (the Bolt of Gransax is in the royal capital), and after the burning the capital becomes the Ashen Capital with no way back
Glovewort	Entire run	The Grave Glovewort and Ghost Glovewort used to upgrade spirit ashes are found in catacombs, and the final upgrade needs Great Ghost Glovewort

Multiple Endings Planning#

Ending	Key Item	How to Progress	Conflicts
Elden Lord	None	Simply finish the game	Conflicts with the Frenzied Flame
Age of Stars	Dark Moon Greatsword	Complete Ranni’s full questline	Conflicts with the Frenzied Flame
Lord of Frenzied Flame	The Frenzied Flame	Touch the Three Fingers (irreversible)	Conflicts with every other ending

Achievement Speedrun Plan#

Phase	Content	Time	Achievements
Phase 1	Push the main story to the royal capital (Godrick + Rennala + Radahn)	10-20 hours	8
Phase 2	Collect legendary armaments + ashen remains + sorceries + incantations + talismans	15-25 hours	5
Phase 5	Final endings (use save backups to unlock all 6)	5-10 hours	6
Phase 6	Cleanup (mausoleums + catacombs + caves + Evergaols + map fragments)	5-10 hours	9

Total estimate: 60-120 hours (save backups can dramatically shorten the multi-ending work).

Frequently Asked Questions#

Question	Answer
How many playthroughs are needed for all achievements?	At least 2 (Lord of Frenzied Flame is exclusive, plus the other endings). Without save backups, plan for 3.
Can legendary equipment be missed?	Partially time-limited! The Bolt of Gransax cannot be obtained after the Erdtree burns, and the same goes for the legendary incantation Flame of the Fell God. Check everything against the list before burning.
Which legendary piece is hardest to collect?	The legendary sorcery “Stars of Ruin” hides in a chest in Sellia, Town of Sorcery with no map marker — the easiest one to overlook.
Can players trade legendary equipment with each other?	No. Legendary equipment cannot be traded or dropped, though in co-op other players can pick up normal equipment you drop.
