Some other juicy info for ya, From Software really hit that BEAUTIFUL sweet spot (which was so badly needed for Lifehunt Scythe, RIP) in casting time (with the requisite Dex/Sage's Ring obv.) given the spell's sheer versatility and, when both the beam and blade hit, raw power.

Where Soul Greatsword is great for sideways roll catching and crowd control in general, Old Moonlight is decent for those few seconds before and after you engage an opponent at close quarters, forcing them to roll to slip it on the way in or catch them as they try to roll out (either with the beam or blade itself). It's a cool spell, but as I'm sure anyone who considered switching out Soul Greatsword for it will tell you, the difference in the range is painfully noticeable. Just a heads up, the animation when you release the spell has you dip your catalyst of choice, and will screw up the projectile if you're, say, aiming up stairs.


Compare this to Soul Greatsword's (spell buff x 2).

The sword is named after moonlight, but it is slightly different than the one fashioned of the paledrake Seath. This sorcery uses souls to grant form to the thought, and attack with it.Īttacks are coupled with lightwaves, and sustaining the stance before attacking increases their speed and potency. To cast a Sorcery you must use a Staff or Special Weapon that can cast Sorceries.Ī memory of an old sword found deep within Midir. Old Moonlight is a Sorcery in Dark Souls 3.
