Dragonclaw Shield : A striking, and fearsome visual design, the Dragonclaw Shield is another Greatshield that works just as well as a weapon as it does as a defense. Boasting a fairly low weight of 13.5, and an upgraded Guard Boost of 67, the Dragonclaw Shield offers a good amount of protection, especially with some extra Lightning negation added for good measure. But where the Dragonclaw Shield really shines is through its use as a weapon. Equipped from the offset with the Shield Bash Weapon Art, players can use the Dragonclaw Shield to ram into their opponents, often breaking their guard and staggering them temporarily. While other Greatshields have this same Weapon Art, the Dragonclaw Shield offers the best damage of the lot, even dealing a small amount of Lightning damage on top of the physical. Using a Greatshield as a weapon isn't often a recommended strategy, but it provides a fun new way to experience the game's intense fig

Radahn was a beefy guy, so having a high Vigor reflects this large Health pool. A 23 in Endurance means you will be able to equip the majority of General Radahn's armor, though you may need to use the Radagon Soreseal or the Great-Jar Arsenal Talisman to push your Equip Load high enough to avoid fat rolling. A 50 in Strength takes advantage of the Starscourge Greatsword's scaling, while a 21 in Intelligence allows use of the Meteorite Staff and the Rock Sling spell, both tied to Gravitational Sorceries. The above is calculated for a Level 100 player who started as a Wretch.

Golden Beast Crest Shield : For a shield that just requires 24 Strength to wield, and only weighs 12.5, the Golden Beast Crest Shield is a great option for builds that don't specialize in Strength . While its affordability is a plus, its stats are rather modest among Greatshields and don't particularly stand out. Still, its elegant design makes it a great match for some of the most stunning heavy armor knight sets in Elden Ri

Similar to the previous Sorcery, the Glintstone Arc is obtained the same way; Astrology class starter Sorcery, obtained from Sorceress Sellen, or Thops. If, by any chance, Thops is dead because you completed his quest in Elden Ring , take his Bell Bearing and give it to the Twin Maiden Husk to purchase the sp

Updated September 4th, 2024 by Jacob Buchalter: Even after the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC dropped, most of the 'overpowered' weapons in Elden Ring kept their spots in the rankings. And while the Nagakiba is among them, it's not widely regarded as one of the truly 'broken' weapons in this game. As easy as it is to get the Nagakiba, it truly is a unique and powerful weapon. However, not everyone is aware of how to get this katana nor of what exactly it entails. So with that in mind, let's break down the method of getting the Nagakiba, the questline it's involved in, and all the other rewards you'll be able to get along the way.

The confrontation with Yura (as well as Nerijust) will be a tough fight, especially if you're under-leveled, but thankfully like most NPC encounters in Elden Ring , both of these fighters can be easily stun-locked or staggered. You'll also probably want to touch the Grace inside Murkwater Cave before starting this fight (which houses the Patches questline ) for an easy respawn area in case Yura wipes the floor with you.

Before heading inside Caria Manor, take a detour east and enter the Royal Grave Evergaol. Defeat the Onyx Lord to acquire some Runes and the Meteorite Spell. The best tip to defeat this boss is by taking advantage of his spell-casting time, as he will take a while to cast Meteor

While the basic Dagger can be used as an excellent weapon for a challenge run through Elden Ring , the unique daggers found throughout the game can be exceptionally powerful. In general, like swords, katanas, and other blades, daggers often apply a Bleed status to enemies—an extremely strong status effect in Elden Ring . This means that despite their limitations, daggers tend to be a high-damage, high-mobility choice that rewards players' skills even more than other opti

Redmane Greatshield : Boasting some of the best Fire damage resistance of any Greatshield, the Redmane Greatshield is another great option, especially for builds that aren't looking for a heavier shield due to its moderate weight of 14. With its distinctive design, the Redmane Greatshield resembles a giant fang and bears the crest of a red-maned lion. The only real issue with this great-looking shield is that it can take some time to f
