10 Most Iconic Swords In Gaming History

5. Moonlight Greatsword

Assassin S Creed Valhalla Excalibur
FromSoftware

FromSoftware games have loads of wild and wonderful weapons to choose from and even if we narrow it down to the swords only department, there are plenty that stand out from the pack as exceptionally powerful and iconic.

In this instance, we’ve given the edge to the Moonlight Greatsword which has appeared in not only the Soulsborne games but also King’s Field, Elden Ring, Ninja Blade, and Armored Core.

It’s rarely a picnic to get your hands on but is always worth the trouble. Though there are variations in its abilities, appearance, and even its name, the mythical blade shoots lasers, and is one of the few heavy weapons that deals magical damage and scales with intelligence instead of strength or dexterity meaning your dreams of having a mage wielding a big ass sword don’t need to stay dreams. 

Wielded by the likes of Bloodborne’s Ludwig and Divine Dragon in Sekiro, the sword’s reputation is as impressive as its stats so it’s no wonder they keep bringing it back.
