Having trouble getting that Legendary Armaments achievement to pop in Elden Ring? You’re not alone. This has been a frustrating issue for many Tarnished trying to complete their achievement collection.
Understanding the Legendary Armaments Bug
The achievement for collecting all Legendary Armaments in Elden Ring sometimes fails to trigger even when you’ve gathered all nine required weapons. This isn’t just user error – it’s a known bug that’s affected players since launch, and it can be incredibly frustrating when you’ve put in the work to track down every last legendary weapon.
The Required Legendary Armaments
Let’s make sure you have all nine weapons first:
– Grafted Blade Greatsword
– Sword of Night and Flame
– Eclipse Shotel
– Dark Moon Greatsword
– Ruins Greatsword
– Marais Executioner’s Sword
– Bolt of Gransax
– Devourer’s Scepter
– Golden Order Greatsword
How to Fix the Achievement Bug
Here’s a trick that’s worked for many players – and I’ve personally used this method successfully. You’ll need to:
1. Put all legendary armaments in your storage chest
2. Take them all out at once
3. Place them in your inventory
4. If that doesn’t work, try dropping each weapon and picking it back up
Sometimes the game needs a “reset” of sorts to recognize you have all the weapons. Think of it like forcing your character to do a double-take on their inventory.
Common Pitfalls to Watch For
The most frequently missed weapon is the Bolt of Gransax, since it becomes unobtainable after certain story events in Leyndell. If you’re in New Game+, you’ll need to grab it again – achievements don’t carry over between playthroughs.
Additional Troubleshooting Steps
If the storage chest method doesn’t work, try these steps:
– Verify your game files (on PC)
– Make sure you’re online
– Close and restart the game
– Check that you’re not using any mods that might interfere
Remember, persistence is key here – just like with those tough boss fights. The achievement will eventually pop if you keep trying these methods, though it might take a few attempts.
When All Else Fails
If nothing seems to work, you might need to start a new character or wait for a patch. FromSoftware has been known to address achievement bugs in past updates, so keep an eye on patch notes. In the meantime, you can focus on other achievements or help fellow Tarnished with their own legendary weapon hunts.
