New DLC weapon locations in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Weapons are the lifeblood of any Elden Ring build, and you’ll be able to find plenty more in Shadow of the Erdtree, the game’s DLC that takes place in the Shadow Realm of the Lands Between.

In this Shadow of the Erdtree guide, we’ll show you where to find all of the DLC weapons we’ve found so far.

Gravesite Plain weapons

Gravesite Plain is the first major area in the Shadow Realm of the Lands Between, and it’s where you’ll start your journey in Shadow of the Erdtree. There are multiple unique weapons to be found here, from bosses, dungeons, and exploration. Here’s what we’ve found so far.

Beast Claw

The Beast Claw drops for Logur, the Beast Claw, a mini-boss who hangs out in the Gravesite Plain woods.

Head east from your first site of grace and you’ll find Logur wandering around in the woods. If you get close, he’ll attack you. Take him down and you’ll earn his weapons.

Backhand Blade

The Backhand Blade is northeast of the Scorched Ruins and southeast of the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace.

Just off the road, overlooking the river, you’ll see a small mausoleum. Walk up and into the stone pavilion and grab the sword from the pillar of light.

Greatsword of Solitude

In a single-room dungeon called Western Nameless Mausoleum, which is west of the Scorched Ruins in Gravesite Plain, you’ll face the Blackgaol Knight. Take him down and he’ll drop the Greatsword of Solitude.

Bone Bow

The Bone Bow is in Belurat, the castle on the west side of Gravesite Plain. Head through the dungeon until you reach the upper level, past the second site of grace.

Near where you can unlock an elevator shortcut back down to the first level, you’ll find a tower with a broken staircase. Inside this tower are two of the large scorpion spiders. Kill them and loot the body in the room to get the Bone Bow.

Curseblade Cirque

The Curseblade Cirque is one of three Backhand Blade weapons in Shadow of the Erdtree, and it’s a random drop from Curseblade enemies. You can find an easily accessible Curseblade just south of the Stagefront Site of Grace in Belurat.

Bloodfiend’s Arm

The Bloodfiend’s Arm is a random drop from Bloodfiend enemies, who you can find scattered around the Shadow Realm. They’re particularly plentiful in Prospect Town in Gravesite Plain.

Great Katana

In the massive lake in the northern half of Gravesite Plain, where the Ghostflame Dragon lies, you’ll find a dead body floating in the water. Walk up to it and loot it to receive the Great Katana.

Pata

Southeast of Prospect Town, you’ll find a small cave entrance that leads to the Church of Benediction, right above where you first started in the Shadow Realm. Near the church, on a ledge overlooking your starting position, you’ll find a body. Loot it to earn a fist weapon called Pata.

Milady

Milady is just outside of Castle Ensis in Gravesite Plain. Across the long bridge near Belurat and then across another small bridge to Castle Ensis, defeat the giant blocking the way and push a bit deeper into the area. On your left, you’ll find a staircase that leads to a large ladder. Climb up.

When you reach the top of the tower, open the chest in front of you to get Milady.

Moonrithyll’s Knight Sword

A Tarnished collects a new weapon, Moonrithyll Knight Sword, in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

As you’re making your way through Castle Ensis, you’ll find Moonrithyll, Carian Knight, guarding the true front gate. When you kill them, they’ll drop their big, magical sword, the Moonrithyll Knight Sword.

Smithscript Dagger

Inside the Ruined Forge Lava Intake, a small dungeon to the southeast of Castle Ensis, you’ll find the Smithscript Dagger.

To reach this weapon, you’ll need to fight your way through stone giants and lava blobs until you reach the room with the massive pipe mechanism suspended in the ceiling. On the lower level of this room, tucked up against the wall, you’ll find the Smithscript Dagger on a body.

Anvil Hammer

The Anvil Hammer comes from the Ruined Forge Lava Intake dungeon, which is southeast of Castle Ensis.

Inside, make your way to the top floor and work your way into the room with the massive pipe mechanism. Use the lever to lower the mechanism into the lava and then jump onto it. Follow the pipe all the way to the top to find the Altar, which will give you the Anvil Hammer and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

Messmer Soldier Spear

A Tarnished collects a new weapon, Messmer Soldier’s Spear, in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Messmer Soldiers with spears can drop their weapon for you — the Messmer Soldier Spear. You can find these enemies all over the place, often on the roads leading east from Castle Ensis.

Dragon-Hunter’s Great Katana

In the Dragon’s Pit dungeon, which is to the east of Castle Ensis, make your way through until you fight the Ancient Dragon-Man. Kill him and he’ll drop his weapon, the Dragon-Hunter’s Great Katana.

Death Knight’s Twin Axes

West of Castle Ensis, in a dungeon called Fog Rift Catacombs, you’ll encounter the Death Knight. This boss is in the third basement of the dungeon, and will drop the Death Knight’s Twin Axes when you defeat him.

Poisoned Hand

The Poisoned Hand is in the poisoned lake area of Belurat, in western Gravesite Plain. You can access this area via the ladder in the well once you find the Well Depths Key in the upper area of the castle.

Once you enter the poison lake, go right and fight through the bugs. Behind a building near the far wall, in the poison water, you’ll find a corpse. Loot it to get the Poisoned Hand.

Horned Warrior’s Sword

The Horned Warrior’s Sword is located in the poisoned lake area of Belurat, in west Gravesite Plain. To get to the poison lake, grab the Well Depths Key from the upper area in the castle and use it in the Belurat well.

Once you make it to the poison lake, run across the water to your right until you find some solid ground. You’ll find one of the golden horned warriors. Kill them and they’ll drop the Horned Warrior’s Sword.

Deadly Poison Perfume Bottle

You can purchase the Deadly Poison Perfume Bottle from Thiollier for 6,000 Runes in northeastern Gravesite Plain, by the Pillar Path Cross Site of Grace.

Cerulean Coast weapons

The Cerulean Coast is a beautiful beachside area south of Gravesite Plain. You’ll find a few different weapons to add to your arsenal down here.

Spirit Glaive

Starting at the Charo’s Hidden Grave Site of Grace in the Cerulean Coast, make your way through the arch and hug the right side of the red flower field. Ride along the cliff until you come across some Gravebird statues that mark a path. Follow the path to a large, broken tombstone at the end and you’ll find a body. Loot the body for the Spirit Glaive.

Dancing Blade of Ranah

Scadu Altus is the second major region in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. You’ll find several unique weapons in this area. Here’s what we’ve found so far.

Smithscript Spear

In the southeast part of Scadu Altus, beneath the western lake, you’ll find a small dungeon called Ruined Forge of Starfall Past. Inside, past the site of grace, cross the first bridge. To your left you’ll find a lever. But to your right, you’ll find a corpse that’s holding the Smithscript Spear.

Smithscript Cirque

In the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past dungeon, which is in the southeastern part of Scadu Altus, you’ll find the Smithscript Cirque in the final room in the dungeon.

Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword

Inside the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past dungeon, which is located in the southeastern part of Scadu Altus, you’ll find an altar hidden in one of the rooms. Clear out the dungeon and go to the second lever which lifts the second gate. Lower it to the ground and then pull the lever again to raise it. Quickly climb on the gate before it gets too high up and ride it to the second floor platform.

In the next room, interact with the altar to get the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.

Serpent Flail

The Serpent Flail is located inside the Fog Rift Fort, which is a difficult to reach fort just south of the Scadu Altus, West Site of Grace. From the site of grace, jump down the cliff to your left until you reach the fort. Progress through until you reach the bottom level that’s filled with flamethrowers and soldiers. Defeat them and at the end of the path you’ll find a chest with the Serpent Flail inside.

Black Steel Twinblade

In the army camp in the northern part of Scadu Altus, you’ll find some Black Knights with a twinblade staff. When you kill them, they have a chance to drop the Black Steel Twinblade.

Dryleaf Arts

The Dryleaf Arts are fist weapons you’ll earn from fighting Dryleaf Dane at the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace as part of the Dryleaf Dane questline.

Messmer Soldier’s Axe

Wherever you defeat a Messmer Soldier wielding an axe, there’s a random chance that it will drop the Messmer Soldier’s Axe for you.

You can find these soldiers all over the Shadow Realm, especially in the Shadow Keep dungeon.

Main-gauche

After killing the Golden Hippopotamus in Shadow Keep, push forward and keep right. You’ll eventually find a room with some Messmer Soldiers and a Black Knight with a twinblade. Dispatch the enemies and move over to the ledge that rests above the door you came through earlier. Loot the body here to get the Main-gauche.

Stone-Sheathed Sword

The Stone-Sheathed Sword is in the Castle Watering Hole area of Scadu Altus, which you can only reach via a hidden passage in the Shadow Keep waterways.

Queelign’s Greatsword

On the path from the Church District Entrance Site of Grace in Shadow Keep, which you can reach via a path through Bonny Village, you’ll find Queelign’s Greatsword.

Jump along the rooftops from the site of grace until you drop into the giant church. Instead of continuing forward, turn around and you’ll find a wooden door. Use the Prayer Room Key — which you can get by defeating the Invader version of Fire Knight Queelign at the Church of the Crusade — and you’ll find Fire Knight Queelign on the ground. Interact with Queelign and choose the Iris of Occultation to get Queelign’s Greatsword.

Not to be mistaken with the Bloodfiend’s Fork, the Bloodfiend’s Sacred Spear is its own weapon. You can get it by killing the unique Bloodfiend that wields it. They’re in the lake west of Taylew’s Ruined Forge in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh.

Smithscript Axe

In Taylew’s Ruined Forge, a dungeon in the northern part of the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, you’ll find the Smithscript Axe. Make your way through the dungeon and jump the first gap in the broken floor. When you land on the other side, turn into the room on your left and you’ll find the Smithscript Axe being guarded by a stone giant.

Smithscript Greathammer

To the right of the arena where the warrior appears, go down the steps and through the doorway. On the other side is a broken balcony. Carefully jump off the ledge and follow the path here through a series of difficult jumps until you reach Belurat castle again. From there, take a right down the big, circular elevator.
