The Coded Sword is one of the most powerful Faith weapons in Elden Ring and its weapon skill makes it totally unblockable. Here’s where you can get it!
The Lands Between is full of great weapons to try so picking a couple to use is very difficult. However, the Coded Sword is one that anyone running a Faith build should try.
While it may not be the heaviest hitter, it has an extremely useful unique ability that makes all of its attacks totally unblockable. Plus, it does Holy damage instead of physical which can be extremely potent with certain character builds.

Is the Coded Sword Good?

The Coded Sword is a particularly unique weapon in Elden Ring. Not only does it do purely Holy damage, but its weapon skill makes your attacks completely unblockable!
The Unblockable Blade skill for 25 Focus Points makes your attacks go through shields and still deal damage. Plus, the weapon does not bounce off shields or enemies like the rocky miners.
However, you need Somber Smithing Stones to upgrade the Coded Sword. Additionally, you’ll need to know the locations of the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones to upgrade it to +10!
