Summary
The cosplay community has made some pretty impressive props for some of the best-loved video games.Elden Ringplayers havecosplayed as Melinaand even ahyper-realistic rendition of Mohgin between some of the FromSoftware title’s other iconic characters. But this recreation of a popular weapon may just take the cake.
As shared on TikTok by userkaypeon, ahead of her boyfriend’s birthday,she decided to recreate the Blasphemous Blade fromElden Ring– despite never making a cosplay weapon before. “I’ve never made a cosplay weapon, but I watched one video, and I have the audacity to say ‘I can f–king do this,'” she said in the video. She started by printing the outline of the weapon onto multiple pieces of paper and traced the necessary layers onto cardboard. After cutting those out, she used a wooden dowel to give the greatsword stability before using a putty to adhere all the layers together and build the base.
The final two parts of kaypeon’s Blasphemous Blade build can be seen below.
After painting the base gold, using a clear tube with some wire inside, kaypeonhot glued the veins onto the body of the sword, supplementing the tubes with some veins of hot glue for dimension. These were all spray-painted red, with some clear nail polish mixed with red and black polish layered on top to add a multidimensional glossy finish. Kaypeon also made the various gems that adorn the sword out of hot glue. According to her TikToks, the whole process took about two weeks to complete.

The Blasphemous Blade Is One Of The Most Powerful Greatswords In Elden Ring
How To Get The Blasphemous Blade
InElden Ring,players find the Blasphemous Blade when trading with Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold. Byexchanging the Remembrance of Blasphemy (only obtained bydefeating Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy) to the merchant,players can receive the Blasphemous Blade or Rykard’s Rancor. For those who opt for Rykard’s Rancor instead, the magma sorcery deals fire damage to enemies, exploding repeatedly as it tracks the enemy. It’sone of the best sorceries in the game– but some people just prefer to wield a blade.
The Blasphemous Blade’s description reads, “Remains of the countless heroes he has devoured writhe upon the surface of this blade.Now they share the same blood, bound together as family.“Players who kill enemies with this greatsword will have some of their HP restored with each kill, making it a helpful weapon to have when trying to take down a horde of enemies.Players with high strength, dexterity, and faithwill find this weapon to be particularly helpful in their playthrough.
Unfortunately, kaypeon has not posted a reaction from her boyfriend opening the gift, nor will she. “I didn’t want that moment to be about content,“kaypeonsaid in a follow-up TikTok, noting that the TikToks were put out after the sword was already made and gifted to him. Though viewers won’t get to see his reaction to all of her hard work, she assured viewers that theElden Ringsword already has a place on his wall.

Elden Ring
Elden Ring is a popular game released by From Software, creators of games such as Armored Core, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. Players assume the role of a Tarnished, a being once exiled to the Lands Between and has returned to repair the Elden Ring after the events of “The Shattering.” “The Shattering” occurred when the offspring of Queen Marika battled to claim the shards of the Elden Ring, known as Great Runes. Their war has brought lawlessness, destruction, and chaos to the land, and the player will challenge them with the assistance of a Maiden known as Melina as they travel towards the great Erd Tree to face their destiny and to become the one true Elden Lord. Players can tackle the game how they choose and can adventure across realms as they build their character how they want - be it a powerful magic caster or a brutal swordsman - they will have complete control over their build.
