Elden Ring: Great Weapons That Are Easy To Miss

There are varieties of weapons for every Tarnished's playstyle in Elden Ring. However, while some are easily found or are a certain drop from a boss, other weapons are hidden in a hard-to-reach area. Some rare weapons can also be a low-chance drop from a small enemy like the Imps, which are usually found in Catacombs.

While exploring the Lands between and the Land of Shadow in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, it’s nearly impossible to naturally collect every single item without missing a few in some areas. So, it’s useful to know which weapons are easy to miss before proceeding to the following area.

8 Magma Whip Candlestick

Wield The Flame of Magma From Mt. Gelmir

Getting the Magma Whip Candlestick is a bit time-consuming as it is related to one of the NPCs' questlines. Patches is first introduced as a boss in the Murkwater Cave and will plead with players when he’s about to die. Later on, you meet Patches again in Volcano Manor.

Eventually, he will reward the Magma Whip Candlestick after assassinating the Great Horned Tragoth for him. Do keep in mind that all of this must be done before killing Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy. The weapon does require Somber Smithing Stones to upgrade, and in the final stage, the Dexterity scaling becomes a decent B.

7 Velvet Sword Of St. Trina

Inflicts Eternal Sleep

Head northwest from the Fissure Cross Site of Grace in the Stone Coffin Fissure and keep jumping down until you reach a large platform. Deep inside is a small rock alcove that is filled by the slime enemies and at the end of it is the Velvet Sword of St. Trina. The unique Skill allows the user to release a purple mist that inflicts Eternal Sleep. Some enemies, like the Godskin Duo, are extremely weak to Sleep, which makes them completely vulnerable and open to attack for a period of time.

6 Celebrant's Skull

Grants Extra Runes Upon Hit

The Celebrant's Skull is located on a somewhat hidden narrow path in Windmill Village, Altus Plateau. From the Village’s Site of Lost Grace, go northeast towards the cliff and walk till the end to find a corpse with the Celebrant's Skull. The weapon is classified as a Great Hammer, and it requires 18 Strength and 12 Dexterity. Its skill, Barbaric Roar Skill, can be found on other weapons as it allows the user to let out a cry, increasing attack power for some time.

5 Stone-Sheathed Sword

Hidden In Plain Sight

The Stone-Sheathed Sword can be obtained by crossing an invisible bridge from one of the higher platforms of the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. Head inside the small building found across and pick up the weapon. Many players might see the sword and have no idea there is an invisible path. The Stone-Sheathed Sword has a normal Skill found in other weapons, and the initial DEX scaling allows it to reach a B once it’s fully upgraded.

4 Lizard Greatsword

A Unique Greatsword

The Lizard Greatsword looks as unique as it sounds. The Skill and scaling are completely normal, but the weapon does have a special attack. When Tarnished performs a strong attack, the Lizard Greatsword will projectile a forked tongue that deals additional damage.

You can farm the weapon by defeating Imps wielding it, from either the Scorpion River Catacombs or the Fog Rift Catacombs. You will need the normal Smithing Stones to level it up, and it is possible to infuse it with other Ashes of War.

3 Halo Scythe

Once Belonged To The Commanders Of Cleanrot Knights

It’s possible to get the Halo Scythe by farming Cleanrot Knights found in various areas. Tarnished can target the enemies in Caelid near Commander O’Neil in the Aeonia Swamp, or fight them in the Haligtree. Keep in mind that only the Cleanrot Knights that are wielding the Halo Scythe will drop it. The rate is only a 2% chance, making it one of the rarest weapons in Elden Ring. As for the unique Skill, it lets players throw rings of light that deal holy damage.

2 Gelmir Glintstone Staff

Buff Lava Sorceries

The Gelmir Glintstone Staff is a rare drop from one particular enemy, which is the Man-Serpent Sorcerer found in Mt. Gelmir. Players can find the bloated serpent in a large room filled with various enemies. Additionally, there’s a small balcony behind it that contains a Waygate leading to Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy. It’s crucial that Tarnished use any consumables like the Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot to increase discovery and raise the chances of obtaining the Gelmir Glintstone Staff. It requires 6 Strength,14 Dexterity, and 14 Intelligence to wield.

1 Cinquedea

Boost Bestial Incantations

The Cinquedea is a dagger requiring 10 Strength and Dexterity located in Caelid, specifically near the Bestial Sanctum. To get it, go west from the Bestial Sanctum building towards the cliff and use the roots and broken stone platforms to go down. Eventually, you should find the dagger near a broken statue on a square platform. Torrent can be used to make the process easier as well as throwing some Rainbow Stone.
