In Elden Ring, there are many new weapons. This enormous system is also full of powerful bosses and dangerous scenes.

In Elden Ring DLC, more than 100 new weapons are added. This greatly expands your weapon selection. Therefore, it is crucial to know how to choose the right weapon to annihilate the bosses. However, it should be emphasized that the game developers did not balance the power of the additional weapons with the power of the basic weapons.

There is no doubt that these new weapons have greater potential power. This article focuses on some of the powerful new weapons. Before that, make sure you have obtained Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing, which can quickly upgrade your weapons and increase attack power. By the way, if you want to level up or enhance the attributes of your character, saving some Elden Ring Runes will be a nice choice.

Backhand Blade

After launching Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, you can get Backhand Blade. From your location, head northeast and pass Smoldering Ruins. Continue forward and find the mausoleum on the edge of the cliff. Backhand Blade is on a corpse near the mausoleum.

Backhand Blade may not impress you when you first use it, but it is definitely one of the best weapons. If you can combine Backhand Blade with the build properly, it will be extremely powerful.

Backhand Blade is a rare weapon that can appear in pairs in the game. When you operate it with both hands, the damage caused is also doubled. And it is fast enough to easily combo.

The most special thing is that Backhand Blade has a unique skill: Blind Spot. You can use it to quickly sprint to the left and attack on the right. Therefore, you can attack behind the enemy and perform combos. Many PVE foes are not used to this kind of attack, so Backhand Blade is very aggressive.

To maximize the attack performance of Backhand Blade, Str/Dex build is essential. When its performance reaches the strongest level, you can change the weapon to Keen Affinity.

Rellana’s Twin Blades

After defeating Rellana, Twin Moon Knight at Castle Ensis, she will drop Remembrance Of Twin Moon Knight. You can trade this with Enia in Roundtable Hold to get Rellana’s Twin Blades.

Rellana’s Twin Blades also has a unique mechanic. When wielded one-handed, it transforms into a greatsword that deals magic damage. But when wielded two-handed, your left hand will dual-wield a flaming straight sword that can easily deal with continuous magic and fire damage.

Rellana’s Twin Blades has a unique skill: Moon-and-Fire Stance. This skill can be derived from various derivative skills. Pressing Weapon Skill button will put you into Moon-and-Fire Stance. After that, you can press Light Attack button to send out magic attacks or use Heavy Attack to send out fire-based attacks.

Milady

Milady is a Light Greatsword that can be easily obtained. Go north, across the bridge from Castle Front Site of Grace, and then west. Defeat the enemies you encounter and climb the steps to the south to find Milady in the tower above.

Milady does not have the special abilities of the previous two weapons; it is just a standard weapon. Milady is easy to use, has a fast attack speed and a large range, and has many other functions.

Combining Milady with Wing Stance Ash of War is even more powerful. Attacking with Wing Stance will quickly cause Frostbite, which can cause devastating damage to most bosses.

Lightning Perfume Bottle

Go northeast across the river from Cerulean Coast Site of Grace and you will find a pond full of lightning sheep. In the pond is a corpse holding a Lightning Perfume Bottle.

Lightning Perfume Bottle can fight most common bosses, and can easily cause large-scale area damage with both light and heavy attacks. However, it is slow, so it is important to understand that this damage is at the expense of speed.

Lightning Perfume Bottle can be used with Rolling Sparks Ash of War, creating a large straight line of damage in a medium range. This skill can be used repeatedly, making it very powerful.

Smithscript Hammer

Go to Rauh Base region of Land of Shadow, and you will find Forge to the northeast, where Smithscript Hammer is located.

Smithscript Hammer is undoubtedly a powerful weapon, and after the attack is completed, it will be immediately returned to your hand, ready to be used again.

If you inject Flame Arts or Sacred Affinity with Smithscript Hammer, it will upgrade and become very powerful. Faith build can also be used well with Smithscript Hammer.

It is recommended to change the default skill of Smithscript Hammer to Endure. Other more dazzling skills, such as Savage Lion’s Claw Ash of War, increase the melee attack power of Smithscript Hammer and add many new skills.

Putrescence Cleaver

Putrescence Cleaver is located in Fissure in the cave at the southernmost end of Cerulean Coast. After defeating Putrescent Knight by jumping off the cliff near Fissure Depths Site of Grace, you can trade Remembrance of Putrescence for Putrescence Cleaver in Roundtable Hold.

Putrescence Cleaver’s blade is made of human skulls and has metal elements fused into it. If used properly, it will be of great value.

Press the weapon skill button to use Putrescence Cleaver to perform attacks. This attack will only be continuous if you have PF.

Putrescence Cleaver has a frost build-up skill, making it extremely destructive. Str/Arc builds are very suitable for this weapon, and when combined, you can cast powerful spells to crush your enemies.

This is a brief introduction to the best weapons in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Thank you for reading.
