Move over, Milady: Elden Ring’s Tarnished Pack brings the new king of style
Elden Ring’s Tarnished Pack DLC introduces Leontiel’s Greatsword, which the article presents as a stylish new alternative to weapons such as Milady. Its Muleta weapon skill lets players bait attacks with a red cloth before dashing through enemies and delivering a powerful counter, combining a bullfighting theme with a risky but effective combat option.
The unique greatsword and matching Leontiel armour are earned through an NPC invasion in Caelid after Starscourge Radahn is defeated, reportedly during the Radahn Festival. The weapon cannot have its Ash of War or damage type changed and upgrades to +10 with Somber Smithing Stones; the $5 DLC also adds another invasion, two starting classes, early-access weapon types and three Torrent skins.
In short
- Leontiel’s Greatsword adds a matador-inspired counterattack skill.
- The weapon is obtained from a Caelid NPC invasion.
- Tarnished Pack adds classes, weapons, invasions and Torrent skins.
Explained simply
Elden Ring is a fantasy role-playing game in which players explore a dangerous world and fight enemies using weapons, armour and special combat moves. Its downloadable content, or DLC, adds optional material to the game, while weapon skills give particular weapons distinctive attacks.
The Tarnished Pack is a paid add-on, and Leontiel’s Greatsword is one of its additions. It has a bullfighting-inspired skill called Muleta, and is linked to an NPC encounter in Caelid, a hostile region of the game; Milady is another sword players may compare it with.
The pack also includes armour and other extras. Its relevance for players lies in offering new equipment and ways to approach combat, though the greatsword’s fixed skill and damage type limit how much it can be customised.
