Players can acquire the Goldtusk sword by completing the Heroic Menagerie. However, you must use a Hunter to obtain this sword from the Heroic Menagerie because it is a Hunter specific weapon and will not drop for Titans or Warlocks. Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed way of making sure you get the Goldtusk weapon, as it is a random drop from the boss. All that Hunters can do is grind away at defeating the Heroic Menagerie boss and hope that this sword drops when they land the killing blow.
