Elden Ring has plenty of options for playing styles and weapons, and players are trying to conjure the best build to get to the end of the game as efficiently as possible. The survival RPG lets you immerse yourself completely into the realm of Lands Between, fighting monsters at every corner of the open-world map. Here’s what we think is the most powerful weapon in Elden Ring as well as its location.
What is the Most Powerful Weapon in Elden Ring and How to Get It
While all weapons in Elden Ring can be upgraded to be an extremely powerful part of your arsenal, there are some weapons that stand apart. In this article, we will be focusing on a weapon that can be used in combat to almost unfair effectivity, which is the Sword of Night and Flame.

This sword has a unique skill called the Night and Flame Stance, which lets you hold it as you cast a spell, as well as a powerful ability that lets you release a strong burst of fire or an elemental magic beam. You have the option to use the Night and Flame Stance to block your enemy’s attack, follow with a normal attack or the sweeping flame attack that will deal an immense amount of splash damage to a group of enemies as well as single targets.
This is useful in taking down boss enemies as well, as unleashing the mighty beam attack will tear through their defences. However, it is quite difficult to be able to wield this sword as you need to have Strength 12, Dexterity 12, Intelligence 24 and Faith 24. Once you are close to these stats, you can begin your search for this incredible weapon.
Make your way to Caria Manor towards the Manor Lower Level Site of Grace where you’ll come across a bridge. On the side of the bridge, there will be an opening in the structure that lets you drop inside onto a roof. Jump onto the bottom roof to find a ladder that leads to a chest that contains the Sword of Night and Flame.
Some other powerful weapons in the game include the Winged Scythe, Carian Regal Scepter, Horn Bow, Hand of Malenia, Moonveil, Ghiza’s Wheel and the Black Knife. If you have one of these weapons, you’re well on your way to creating an awesome build.
