The Bloodfiend’s Arm is a colossal club-type weapon introduced in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Colossal weapons trade speed for raw power, dealing devastating damage to enemies. They are also excellent at breaking enemy posture, which allows you to follow up with a critical hit.

The Bloodfiend's Arm is a blood-infused weapon, which means that it retains its bleed-building ability even after infusing it with a non-bleed affinity. The Bloodfiend's Arm is a guaranteed drop from one of the Bloodfiend's inhabiting the Prospect Town in Shadow of the Erdtree. The weapon was recently nerfed to scale down it's bleed effect, but the club still continues to outperform other bleed weapons in the game. Here's how you reach the town and acquire the weapon.

Updated by Vincent Arogya on July 13, 2024: Despite the recent nerf to the Bloodfiend's Arm, this heavy club remains the top bleed builder in the game. Additionally, it is now confirmed that the weapon drops from one of the six Bloodfiends in Prospect Town. This guide has been updated to provide more detailed information about the weapon and includes related links to help you design an optimal Bloodfiend's Arm build.

Where To Find Bloodfiend’s Arm In Shadow Of The Erdtree

To acquire the Bloodfiend's Arm, you must first travel to Prospect Town. You can reach this location by beginning your ride from the Gravesite Plain Site of Grace, and then travel north until you discover the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace.

Now, ride west from the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace and refer to the image above to circle around the large hill. If you stick to the ridge along the hill, it will lead you to the Cliffroad Terminus Site of Grace, which also happens to be the general Prospect Town area.

Now, travel south toward the decrepit town, and look for a destroyed wall covered by black cloth. Go up the rubble to reach an elevated area, and follow the wide, disconnected stairs to reach the top of the ruins. At this point, you’ll find a fallen pillar serving as a makeshift bridge. Use the pillar to scale the narrow, ruined wall, and follow it west to reach Prospect Town proper.

Here, you’ll find six Bloodfiends, and one of them will drop them will drop the Bloodfiend's Arm when killed. There's also a chance that the Bloodfiend wielding the fork could drop the Bloodfiend's Fork.

The Bloodfiend’s arm is a Strength-based weapon, but it scales well with both Strength and Arcane. The club comes equipped with the Endure Ash of War that briefly increases your poise and negates damage. However, if you want to get the most out of the Bloodfiend's Arm, you'll want to replace the Endure weapon skill with other high-damage dealing Ashes of War like Royal Knight's Resolve, Lion's Claw, or Savage Lion's Claw.

You can upgrade the Bloodfiend's Arm to +25 using Smithing Stones and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. When infused with blood affinity, the weapon scales excellently with Strength and Arcane. However, if you want to maximize the bleed potential of the weapon, you must focus on first increasing your Arcane before upgrading your strength.

Besides the Bloodfiend's Arm, the game also includes two other Bloodfiend weapons: Bloodfiend's Fork and Bloodfiend's Sacred Spear.
