6. Dryleaf Arts
Requirements:
- STR: 8
- DEX: 8
Stats:
- Phy 80
- Crit 100
- Skill: Palm Blast
Elden Ring does not offer any hand to hand combat mechanic, so to see Dryleaf Arts in Shadow of the Erdtree is like a breath of fresh air. Strength and Dexterity builds would enjoy the long combo sequence this weapon provides. Dryleaf Arts is great for its heavy hitting rapid attacks, and coupled with the Palm Blast weapon skill, you can create a devastating blast and obliterate enemies.
How to Get: Defeat Dryleaf Dane near Moorth Ruins
5. Milady
Requirements:
- STR: 12
- DEX: 17
Stats:
- Physical: 116
- Crit: 100
- Skill: Impaling Thrust
- Additional Equippable Skill: Wing Stance
The Milady light greatsword is a great weapon for players who enjoy dealing heavy attacks. Its base damage is decent enough and you can add an additional Wing Stance skill, which helps deal additional attacks on the target. Because of the versatile nature of this weapon, Milady tends to suit most gameplay builds. If you are looking for a decent weapon that can cause stagger frequently and induce rapid attacks, then Milady will not disappoint.
How to Get: Explore the top of the watchtower in Castle Ensis, Milady can be found inside a chest
4. Rakshasa’s Great Katana
Requirements:
- STR: 12
- DEX: 27
Stats:
- Physical: 155
- Critical: 100
- Passive: Hemorrhage
- Skills: Weed Cutter
The Rakshasa’s Great Katana is almost on par with the Great Katana and the Dragon Hunter’s Great Katana in terms of stats and skills. This is the newest Katana added to the DLC, and the game already offers very few Katanas for the Samurai builds. The best part about this weapon is that it can cause bleed buildup and also reduces the chance of you getting staggered frequently. The weapon can also give you a chance to reduce all damage negation by 10% while attacking and also provides Poise depending on your attack type
How to Get: Defeat Rakshasa in the Eastern Nameless Mausoleum.
3. Rellana’s Twin Blades
Requirements:
- STR: 13
- DEX: 16
- INT: 16
- FAI: 16
Stats:
- Physical 103
- Magic 66
- Fire 66
- Critical 100
- Skill: Moon-and-Fire Stance
Those working on their Faith and Intelligence build can get Rellana’s Twin Blades early in the DLC. You just need one copy of the weapon and you can automatically use it as a dual sword if you two hand the weapon. Rellana’s Twin Blades deal light and heavy attacks with varying elements. With the Moon and Fire Stance, you can utilize Rellana’s weapon skill, which brings forth the Glintstone and Messmer’s flame abilities on your weapon.
How to Get: Trade the Remembrance of the Twin Moon Knight with Enia at the Roundtable Hold
2. Bloodfiend’s Arm
Requirements:
- STR: 28
- DEX: 11
- ARC: 16
Stats
- Physical: 147
- Critical: 100
- Skill: Endure
The Bloodfiends Arm Colossal Weapon is a great weapon to own for Bleed and Arcane builds. It is quite a cumbersome weapon for those who don’t meet the requirements. But for players who are looking forward to using Heavy Attacks, be prepared to spill a lot of enemies blood while using the Bloodfiend’s Arm. This can create high Blood Loss buildup with Blood Infusion, and the blood splash AOE can deal Fire damage as well as inflict Bleed buildup.
How to Get: Defeat the Bloodfiend group in Prospect Town, Gravesite Plain region
1. Euporia
Requirements:
- STR: 16
- DEX: 16
- FAITH: 24
Stats:
- Phy 84
- Holy 100
- Crit 100
- Skill: Euporia Vortex
The Euporia Twin Blade is a great weapon for Faith builds, and can help provide extra damage buffs. This helps in powering up the weapon, with each 7 hits within a 10 second timer, gaining a 5% damage buff. You can ultimately use the Euporia Vortex weapon skill and fire Holy Bolts. While this weapon works well with a wide range of enemies, this can be ineffective towards The Undead
How to Get: Belurat Tower Settlement
