Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree all the new weapons and where to find them

In this guide to the new weapons in Shadow of the Erdtree, we’ve gathered the locations, stats, and everything you need to know about the Elden Ring DLC’s gear.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree has added 100 new, completely new weapons that even branch out into new categories, making it the largest selection ever integrated into a FromSoftware expansion. There really is something for everyone, and there is practically no single build that hasn’t received new tools of the trade, often so powerful that they can make certain encounters in the base adventure seem trivial in the Interregnum.

In this guide, we’ve collected all of the new weapons in Elden Ring and where to get them , before talking about each one’s unique features, stats, scaling, and numbers you need to keep in mind.

As a reference we have taken the scaling levels and the damage once they are fully upgraded to make them easier to read; furthermore, we have chosen to divide them between the unique variants, that is those that are upgraded with the Funeral Forging Stones, and the normal ones, for which common Stones are sufficient. Let’s not waste any more time and discover the weapons of Shadow of the Erdtree.

New Unique Weapons in Shadow of the Erdtree

In the category of unique weapons we have collected not only those that can be obtained through the Remembrances of the bosses – a factor that opens up necessary spoilers for Shadow of the Erdtree – but any equipment that uses Funeral Forging Stones to be enhanced.
