All DLC weapon locations in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

DLC Weapons come with some interesting new abilities and move sets in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which can really shake up your playstyle. There are even new weapon families for you to try, including Wolverine-like Beast Claws.

In this Shadow of the Erdtree guide, we’ll walk you through where to find each of the DLC’s new weapons.

Not including shields, there are 92 new weapons in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Most of those weapons fall into pre-existing weapon families from the original game, but there are seven new weapon families that are unique to the DLC:

Check out our region-by-region breakdown below to collect all 92 weapons in the Shadow Realm.

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 22 unique weapons to be found here, from bosses, dungeons, and exploration.

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.

East of the Gravesite Plain Site of Grace, you’ll find the Church of Consolation. In a tent on the east side of the church, you’ll fight a Black Knight, who will drop the Black Steel Greathammer for you.

Note: If you’ve killed this knight but don’t have the Black Steel Greathammer, you may have encountered a bug that appeared in an older version of the game. There doesn’t seem to be any workaround for this, so you’ll need to get it on another playthrough.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For some additional help farming for this weapon, check out our guide on how to earn the Bloodfiend’s Arm.

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.

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.

Just south of the Castle Front Site of Grace, outside of Castle Ensis, you’ll find a chest being guarded by a group of Perfumer enemies. Kill them and loot the chest to earn the Firespark Perfume Bottle weapon.

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.

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.

Southeast of Castle Ensis and the Castle Front Site of Grace in Gravesite Plain, you’ll find an enclosed camp in the hills. Take out the group of Messmer soldiers and loot the nearby body to get the Spread Crossbow.

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.

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 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.

On the road east of the Castle Front Site of Grace, outside of Castle Ensis in Gravesite Plain, you’ll find a group of Messmer soldiers around a corpse. Kill them and loot the nearby body to get the Swift Spear weapon.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

In the Southern Nameless Mausoleum — which you can reach via an underground cave southeast of the Cerulean Coast, West Site of Grace — you’ll fight the Dancer of Ranah. Defeat her and she’ll drop the Dancing Blade of Ranah alongside her armor set.

North of the Cerulean Coast, West Site of Grace, you’ll find a grove-like area with waterfalls and some enemies. Take the right path and go forward until you find a big tombstone. In front of the tombstone, you’ll find the Spirit Sword weapon.

In the Lamenter’s Gaol dungeon, continue through until you enter a room with an icy floor. Take the first door on your right. Behind some crates to your left, you’ll find the Chilling Perfume Bottle.

Inside the Lamenter’s Gaol dungeon, progress until you acquire the Lower Level Key. Go to where you first fell down the hole into the lower area. Take the stairs and follow the path back to the normal area. Before you head through the door that will take you back to the main area, hit the wall ahead of you to reveal a secret passageway. Use the key to get through the door and pick up the Lamenting Visage off a nearby corpse.

In the Stone Coffin Fissure dungeon, just past the Fissure Cross Site of Grace, take a left instead of following the main path. Climb onto the giant coffin that’s vertical and stuck in the ground. Carefully take the path down. When you reach the bottom, you’ll see a small cave ahead of you. Inside you’ll find some ooze enemies and the Velvet Sword of St. Trina.

Scadu Altus is the second major region in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. You’ll find 30 unique weapons in this area.

West of the Highroad Cross Site of Grace in Scadu Altus, jump into the water and go south of the waypoint that teleports you to the ruins. Carefully jump down into Castle Ensis, onto a rooftop that’s inaccessible via the main dungeon. Follow the path and open the nearby chest to get the Carian Sorcery Sword.

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.

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.

Open up the second gate in the forge via the lever and go inside. You’ll find a dead body near a pit and two stone giants. Grab the Smithscript Cirque off the body before or after you deal with the enemies.

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.

North of the Moorth Highway, South Site of Grace in Scadu Altus, where you fought the Ghostflame Dragon, you’ll find a body lying in the field with the Repeating Crossbow on it.

Defeat them and at the end of the path you’ll find a chest with the Serpent Flail inside.

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

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.

Note: You’ll find the Stone-Sheathed Sword at whichever altar you come across first. The other two altars will become the altar of Light or Darkness. You can read about the other altar locations below.

One you have the Stone-Sheathed Sword, you can take it to the Altar of Light, which is actually in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. To get there, start at the Rauh Ancient Ruins, West Site of Grace and take the stairs up to the second floor. Then ride into the room filled with rot enemies. Follow their path until you find a balcony outside and a tower in the distance. Run out onto the invisible floor and you’ll reach the altar. Interact with the altar to transform the Stone-Sheathed Sword into the Sword of Light. You’ll lose the Stone-Sheathed Sword when you do this.
