As you well know by now, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is really tough and there are many players who are having difficulty facing some bosses. If you want to improve your situation, here’s how to find the best weapons in the expansion.
Reversed Blades
The first of the weapons that all players of the expansion should collect is the Reverse Blade, which if held with two hands allows the Senzaluce to use two at the same time. With an incredibly agile moveset, this blade is found in the starting area of the DLC and scales in Strength and Dexterity , but if properly upgraded can scale S in Dexterity , thus becoming a marvel in the hands of players with certain builds. If you haven’t picked it up yet, here’s the guide on how to find the Reverse Blades in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree .
Black Steel Greathammer
This mighty hammer is perfect for those with a character with a lot of Strength and can pair it with a shield
To get your hands on the Black Steel Greathammer, you need to take out the knight who wields it, who can be found at the Church of Consolation , just east of the burned ruins.
Ancient Meteorite Metal Greatsword
In addition to being an excellent greatsword, its skill allows it to inflict area damage, making it a perfect weapon for crowd management. Fortunately, finding the Ancient Meteorite Metal Greatsword is not difficult at all
From the Place of Grace called Moorth Ruins , move southwest until you reach an old cubic-shaped building, one of whose faces hides the entrance to a dungeon, the Ancient Meterorite Forge Ruins . Explore this place and interact with the burning altar to recover the weapon.
Giant Dragon Hunting Katana
The Giant Dragon Hunter Katana is a new type of weapon in the expansion and is very strong, also because of its special ability that allows you to charge an attack and hit targets from a distance. To recover this special piece of equipment, we refer you to our guide on how to find each of the three Giant Katanas in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree .
Milady
If you like light swords, then you should go straight for the Milady, a very agile blade that can hit targets with great speed. Those who want to find this sword immediately should go to Castle Ensis
as soon as possible , since the weapon in question is hidden in the chest in the southwest tower.
Star-Cloaked Sword
Players with a Dexterity/Intelligence build should instead focus on the gorgeous Star-Cloaked Sword, which has incredible attack speed to pressure opponents with.
To find the weapon, you must travel to the Cerulean Coast and defeat the boss Demihuman Queen Marigga .
Sword of Darkness
To obtain this special weapon from the Elden Ring expansion you must first get your hands on the Sword in the Rock Sheath . It is a unique blade of its kind, as it can transform into the Sword of Light or that of Darkness by interacting with some altars scattered around the map. You can find one of the examples of this sword in the dungeon indicated on the map, namely the Catacombs of the Misty Rift .
Once you find the object, you can go to the Ruins of Unte to transform it into the Sword of Darkness, but you will need the large Furnace Jars (find the Recipe Book at the point of interest which is located just west of the Ellac bridge ). In this place you will in fact find two Furnace Golems and one of them is dormant: only the use of these consumables will ensure that it awakens and can be knocked down, thus freeing the passage.
Rellana’s Twin Blades
Another weapon to keep an eye on is Rellana’s pair of Twin Blades, which if held with two hands allows you to fight with two swords at the same time. What makes these swords strong are their special abilities, which allow you to launch a combo of magical or fire attacks. To obtain the weapon you need to defeat the boss Rellana Knight of the Twin Moon and deliver the Remembrance to Enia , at the Round Table.
Sword of the Night
This is a great katana that not only deals bleeding damage, but has a special ability that repeatedly hits the target, with a good chance of breaking their defense. The only way to add this blade to your collection is to complete Jolan ‘s quest : you can get the weapon by giving this NPC the item called Iris of Concealment.
Pata
This is another fairly simple weapon to obtain that has special features that make it incredibly useful in combat.
It is a gauntlet with a long, sharp blade on top that can not only be infused, but can be used for a good ranged lunge, perfect for reaching enemies at medium range. You can find the weapon on a corpse north of the Church of Blessing .
Now that you have all these weapons at your disposal, it is very likely that you will want to go after powerful enemies that you have not yet defeated. In this regard, don’t forget to take a look at the complete list of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree bosses , so that you won’t miss a single one.
