The Moonlight Sword

Four numbers, four finding places

On the 1994 disc the sword is behind a sealed dragon door on floor five, listed at total attack 87, and the dormant blade in that game is also called the Dragon Sword in some notes. I keep 87 attached to the Moonlight Sword row and 38 attached to the Dragon Sword row so the two are not one item with two scores.

On the 1995 disc the listed total attack is 404, and the sword is behind Guyra rather than on the road to him. Sword magic there is described as pillars of light. On the 1996 disc you start with a broken Moonlight Sword. Level 1 is 434 and level 2 is 489, restored through Hill of Prayer, the Royal Cemetery, and Verdite Castle. Lightning costs differ by level in the same notes.

On The Ancient City the slash line is 105, 110, and 115, with light damage 100, 130, and 144. The PAL name Divine Sword shows up in the alias list. The ending branch cares whether you are carrying it. A B-type sword magic cost of 60 is the figure I have for that disc, from the same weapon notes, and I would want a second table before treating 60 as certain. It is marked as part of a multi-field row that cleanhit and the wikis do not all repeat line for line.

What later games inherited

FromSoftware reused the glowing sword in later action games. The series page and the weapon essays treat that as a design echo, not as a statement that Heladin and Lordran are one map. I will not write a shared timeline the company did not publish. Demon's Souls is the game FromSoftware has called a spiritual successor to King's Field. That sentence is as far as the official link goes.

Sell prices in the old notes swing wildly: 23,000 to 25,300 on the first disc, a wide 8,500 to 28,500 on the second, 16,000 to 43,000 on the third. I print ranges because the sources already did. The weapon index is here, and the dragon who is not this sword is Seath.
