Where To Find Golden Epitaph In Elden Ring

You will have to reach Auriza Hero's Grave, which is located in Atlus Plateau. From the Atlus Highway Junction Site of Grace, you need to go east and then up the massive staircase, ignoring the enemies on the way.

You will approach an open gate that two Tree Sentinels are guarding. You can either lure them away and fight them one at a time or completely ignore them and head straight towards the Outer Wall Phantom Tree Site of Grace. From the Site of Grace, you need to follow the northeast path and stay on the road at all times to reach the Hero's Grave.

Inside the Hero's Grave, make your way to the elevator that will take you down. There will be a Site of Grace up ahead, as well as a fog door that is locked by the Imp Seal Statue.

Using a Stonesword Key will allow you to unlock the Fog Gate and head inside the small room. Be cautious, as there are two Basilisk enemies in the room that can cause Deathblight if not dealt with quickly. After dealing with them, interact with the corpse lying on the ground to acquire the Golden Epitaph.

What Does The Golden Epitaph Do?

The weapon requires 12 Strength, 10 Dexterity, and 14 Faith to use.

The Golden Epitaph does not have a passive skill, and its unique skill is called the Last Rites. It costs 25 FP to use and lasts for 60 seconds. The skill grants the effect of Sacred Order to yourself and all allies in the vicinity. This increases all damage types done by Armaments by 10%.

The weapon requires Somber Smithing Stones to upgrade, and at max level, it has a D scaling with Strength, D scaling with Dexterity, and C scaling with Faith. So, the only Stat scaling that changes throughout the levels is Faith. Though the weapon does not do much in the Stat region, it does have high Physical and Holy damage that increases as the weapon is upgraded to the max.
