One of the most iconic armor sets in the game, and a great armor set for the Moonveil Katana build that doesn't rely on samurai-like gear, is the Carian Knight set. You'll look like Moongrum, the named enemy who stands guard outside of Rennala's boss room, but instead of a paltry short sword, you'll be wielding one of the best Intelligence katanas in the game.

The Mushroom Set is one of the greatest in the game in terms of various elemental and status effect resistances and is often used in some of Elden Ring 's most difficult areas, like the aforementioned Lake of Rot. Due to its very special looks, this armor is not too compatible with other sets in the game and is better used separat

Liurnia of the Lakes (Central): Walks in the water in front of the Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel. The skulls on top must be destroyed from above using a bow. Do so from the nearby tombstones jutting out from the cliffside. They can be accessed by first warping to the East Raya Lucaria grace and heading east to the cliffside.

It's a tough fight, but Dark Souls players will immediately recognize the movement patterns of this boss as being like that of the Gaping Dragon. Its charge attack, where it stomps across the room leaving lava in its wake, can be avoided the same way as this iconic Dark Souls boss: don't roll, just sprint at a 90-degree angle away from its path as best Murk purchases as possible.

Cinquedea : The only useful thing that the Cinquedea does is boost Bestial Incantations—which are relatively lackluster—but as it stands that passive ability cannot outweigh the relatively poor base stats and inability to upgrade it without using Somber Smithing Stones. It's also in a difficult hidden location in Elden Ring that, as of Patch 1.03, is currently near impossible to obt

For those of you who can resist instant gratification and want to reap more rewards later on, talking to Yura instead of killing him when you encounter him north of Murkwater is the better deal overall. Finishing his questline will not only reward the Nagakiba but will also lead to unlocking other weapons and items such as:

There's no chat function in-game, so you'll need to find a willing trade partner or benefactor using any other method be it the Elden Ring discord, social media, or some other method. As always, the hard part of this method is finding someone willing to part with their Nagakiba as dual-wielding it is quite a popular option for Bleed builds, and many people want two of these katanas.

Bloodstained Dagger : A great no-nonsense choice. Since it's a basic weapon, it can be upgraded to +25 with regular Smithing Stones , but unlike the basic Dagger, it passively applies Bleed. Not only that, but when combined with another Ash of War, the Bloodstained Dagger can apply multiple status effe

For any of you who have already reached the Mountaintops but missed a step in Yura's questline, don't worry, Eleonora will still always invade the first time you go to the Second Church of Marika, and Yura's Nagakiba can be found sitting wherever you last spoke with Yura as well, be that Murkwater Cave or one of his other locations.

Consecrated Snowfield is something of a special case. Two Night's Cavalry will be guarding a Hearse near the Inner Consecrated Snowfield grace. Both riders must be defeated to get the drops. They leave the Night's Cavalry armor and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, so seek them out.

Parrying Dagger / Wakizashi : It's difficult to rank the Parry Dagger and the Wakizashi, since, in the right hands, they can be absolutely amazing, but in the wrong hands, they're among the worst weapons in the game. If a player knows how to parry in Elden Ring , though, these can both be paired with other weapons to create unique and devastating builds. Both the Parrying Dagger and Wakizashi unlock a unique moveset when wielded in the off-hand with another weapon, so be sure to equip either another one of these best Elden Ring daggers or a powerful one-handed Sword, like the Uchigat

In a game as massive as Elden Ring, it's easy to miss a few bosses. Since many of them have valuable unique drops, it's worth it to go out there and get them felled before moving onto new game plus. High-priority targets should include Erdtree Avatars, Deathbirds, Night's Cavalry and the Bell Bearing Hunters. Dragons, evergaol dwellers and NPC Invaders are all important too of course, but those are all best covered in another guide. Out of of those though, Black Knife Tiche and the Mimic Tear should be the top priorities.
