Elden Ring: Weapon Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Finding the right Weapon in Elden Ring is a top priority for every Tarnished who wants to define their combat style and overcome the legends of the Lands Between.

The weapons range from massive, colossal swords to swift spectral daggers found in the Nightreign expansion. They allow you to scale your damage and master unique weapon arts.

Essential Early-Game Weapons

Securing these weapons early is recommended for all players:

• Bloodhound's Fang: Dropped by Bloodhound Knight Darriwil in the Forlorn Hound Evergaol (Limgrave). This is the top choice for many players due to its powerful "Bloodhound's Finesse" skill and innate bleed damage.
• Moonveil Katana: Obtained by defeating the Magma Wyrm in the Gael Tunnel (Caelid/Limgrave border). It is widely considered the best weapon for Intelligence-based builds, featuring the devastating "Transient Moonlight" wave.
• Uchigatana: Found inside the Deathtouched Catacombs (Northern Limgrave). It is a basic weapon for Dexterity builds and a starting weapon for the Samurai class.
• Greatsword (Colossal Sword): Found in a chest on a carriage in Northwest Caelid. This "Guts" sword is recommended for high-Strength builds.

Shadow of the Erdtree: High-Tier DLC Weapons

In the Realm of Shadow, these weapons should be acquired for overcoming Miquella's toughest guardians:

• Milady (Light Greatsword): Found in a tower chest within Castle Ensis. This is best used for fluid, fast-moving melee combat in the DLC.
• Backhand Blades: Located on a corpse in a small circular structure northeast of the Gravesite Plain Site of Grace. These are the best weapons for high-mobility Dexterity builds.
• Anvil Hammer: Found in Taylew's Ruined Forge. This colossal weapon is a top choice for Strength/Faith builds, dealing massive fire and physical damage.

Nightreign Spectral Weapons

The Nightreign update added specialized gear for the Limveld region:

• Spectral Twinblade: Found in the Forsaken Hollows during a "Shadow Leak" event. It is best used to damage spectral enemies that are otherwise resistant to physical hits.
• Night-Aspect Scepter: Located in the randomized Nightreign Castle Library. This is mandatory for the Scholar class, as it boosts the potency of new Nightglow sorceries.
• Undertaker's Scythe: A reward for the first trial in the Nightreign Castle Sewers. For those playing the Undertaker class, this weapon allows performing "Spirit Echo" finishers.
