Is the Coded Sword Good in Elden Ring? In this article, I will be explaining the strengths and weaknesses of this weapon and also which builds it works best for.
How to acquire the Coded Sword in Elden Ring
After getting to Leyndell, the Royal Capital, make your way to the Fortified Manor, and you can find this sword in the Throne Room of the manor. You will notice how similar the manor looks to the Roundtable Hold. Keep in mind that you cannot obtain the Coded Sword in Leyndell, the Ashen Capital. This altered Capital city will unlock after you defeat Maliketh, the Black Blade at Crumbling Farum Azula.

This weapon only scales with Faith. This might sound unusual for a straight sword, but that’s why this sword is so unique. It requires you to have 20 Faith in order to wield this. And its base scaling with Faith is B. After upgrading it to the maximum level with Somber Smithing Stones, the scaling will upgrade to A. This proves that this is a great faith weapon.
Coded Sword does not deal physical damage, instead, it deals Holy Damage. At the maximum level (+10) it deals 208 Holy Damage. This may be improved even further with higher Faith.
