In this Elden Ring Build Guide, we'll show you the Ruins Greatsword build. This is an all-game strength build that takes place after level 150. If you've been looking for a colossal sword build with a shockwave skill that rips through the enemy while dealing great melee damage, you might want to check this build-out.

How to Make this Build Work

You don't have to use the weapon skill all the time and block Counters work very well with this build, running R2 attacks, and even the weapon itself has a rather unique charge R2 where you hit down and then a little bit of gravity magic comes out of the ground so even if you miss the enemy they will take some damage from this and if you do hit the enemy and that gravity magic comes out, then you do even more damage because the damage is roughly the same between the two things.

-Ruins Greatsword:It is a colossal sword weighing 23, it's a very heavy weapon despite having great sword in its name, and it's a weapon that's devastating you get it and Redmane Castle, so it's not that far into the game but it's also not at the very beginning of the game, realistically, you're going to have to be a decent level like 70 plus probably to get this weapon for most players, the weapon has S strength scaling at +9 and +10.

-Taker's Cameo: It allows you to do block counters with this and then just regain the health, and keep topping yourself off.

-Ritual Sword Talisman: It boosts your health at Max HP that way you can get back up to Max HP, and Wave of Destruction is a devastating weapon skill.

-Great-Jar's Arsenal: This is not an armor set, you're going to be using if you're playing this game early on in the game so you're going to just get something else if you're talking about playing this build from earlier like from the absolute earliest you can get the Ruin's Greatsword just want to look for something with at least 1 points.
