How to Find Rare Weapons in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Understanding Weapon Rarity

In Elden Ring, rarity is often associated with weapons that have a low drop rate from non-unique enemies. For instance, the Noble's Slender Sword and Cleanrot Spear are considered rare because they drop at a very low percentage [1:2], [1:3]. These weapons require farming specific enemies until the weapon drops. The Magma Curved Sword is another example of a rare weapon, which has a low drop rate from enemies in Volcano Manor [1:9].

Farming Techniques

To increase your chances of obtaining rare weapons, you can enhance your item discovery by raising your Arcane stat or using consumables like Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot [1:5]. Farming locations repeatedly where these enemies spawn will eventually yield the desired drop. For example, farming at Windmill Village for celebrant weapons or targeting wandering nobles for their rare weapon drops [1:6], [1:7].

Exploring Specific Locations

Certain areas in the game are known for having valuable loot, including rare weapons. Caravans pulled by giants in Limgrave often contain useful items in their chests [4:2]. Additionally, Castle Morne contains a chest with a claymore, accessible without engaging enemies if approached stealthily [4:5].

Utilizing Merchants and Secret Shops

While some players prefer not to spoil themselves by looking up guides, merchants and secret shops can be a source of powerful equipment. For instance, the Secret Shop/Township offers unique talismans and smithing stones that can enhance your weaponry [5:3]. Exploring different map icons and points of interest can lead to discovering these hidden vendors.

Community Trading and Assistance

Engaging with the community through forums or subreddits like r/EldenRingHelp can provide opportunities for trading items with other players [3:1]. This can be a way to acquire rare weapons if you're struggling to find them on your own. Participating in discussions and co-op gameplay can also offer insights into effective farming strategies and locations.

By combining these methods—understanding rarity, employing farming techniques, exploring key locations, utilizing merchants, and engaging with the community—you can increase your chances of finding rare weapons in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Weapons like the rotten crystal sword for instance Or weapons that have a very low drop rate and require you to farm enemies for a bit until it drops…?

I’ve collected everything in the game. As have many others I’d imagine as doing a 100% play through is a thing. The rarest weapons in my opinion are the ones that drop from mobs. Some have only a 1-2% drop rate. The noble slender sword took me forever to get for instance.

It was my favorite for a long time, its the longest straight sword. It has a .5% drop rate from wandering nobles. You have seen them many times and have probably been hit by one at least once. There is also a noble's estoc.

you find the rotten crystal sword in a chest... that's technically not rare...

rare weapons are weapons that drop from non-unique enemies, as another user said, the noble's slender sword is rare so are weapons like the cleanrot spear, and the many horns/greathorns.

Elden Ring adopted a "rarity" system to trick you into picking up arteria leafs from dungeon chests 47 times in a row, so you'll still go "huh, oh wow cool!"

but rarity means literally nothing, some things you can get once per playthrough (buckler) and they'll be common, and then the legendary endgame sword forged by the soul of literal god is legendary, but you can get several from in-game remembrance dupes.

It's very stupid they're is no way to buy more "common" normal weapons tbf. Like I can't get 2nd broadsword without starting as confessor.

And enemy drops is just a terrible design in general.

they have mines full of raw material.

they have wooded groves and forests full of raw material.

they have underground caverns full of raw material.

they have a crafting system.

......why can't i craft a buckler...

i would argue that enemy drops are an ok design because they've been in souls games for so long, but then i realized i take tons of actions to circumvent participating in that aspect of game design.

i always keep a mule character save with one of everything upgraded and one of everything unupgraded

..even in bloodborne, I'd upload right in front of the chalice boss i needed a specific gem from.

Why aren't the Shadow of the Erdtree weapons in game? We have some of the enemies (also why not more of them?) so why not the weapons q(give me my light great sword it's such a perfect moveset), where's the talismans, and the consumables (this one matters less but point stands).

Yeah, was just trying to think what sort of archetypes/styles we don't have. Like only revenant has a "fist" weapon (which feels more like claws, but they are fist).

Ha, maybe a Belmont style character (starts with whip and has passive or something related to using throwables like daggers and pots, maybe make them consume FP instead and picking up stuff restores some FP). Maybe make the ultimate the item crash based on what you're holding in usable slot (like throwing dagger style weapons just throws out a ton of them).

GalahadVanGraff · OP · 3 months ago

That would be neat otherwise if for whatever reason they are against adding to much shadow or the Erdtree stuff because of spoilers I would totally be down for them to make new weapon types for this game but I know that's a lot more work.

Where do people buy/find weapons from?

Posted by rush_me_pls · in r/eldenringdiscussion · 3 years ago

Im at 20h already, at least 700h in the souls game already, but I can say, to my shame, that I have no idea where to buy a claymore from. I reached the 1st boss before the castle but I do 55dmg per hit with a +3 mace that I was able to buy from the Round table area, which was the best available weapon in the shop Any tips about buying weapons? Is there an npc I need to find?

The big caravans always have a chest in the back with something useful, especially the one being pulled by 2 giants across the bridge in the starting area. I think that one will have a good weapon for you if you’re using STR

Beebo79 · 3 years ago

I’m a “veteran” souls player, and I love a good claymore. That being said, I’ve put 35 hours into Elden Ring, and I’ve only just recently found a really nice claymore that dropped from one of the caravan of wrested villager types that wander in groups on the roads in Limgrave. Other than that, I haven’t seen one.

Thanks for the tip! I’m gonna farm those guys. I’m in no rush to finish the game, tbh. I love it and want this to last for as long as possible. Thats why I asked here and didnt search online, so I dont spoil myself as much as possible.

If you go to the Castle of Morne and after going up in the lift to the courtyard, sneak\crouch around the right hand wall, past the enemies. Go past the heap of bonfire stuff and turn right into a smaller courtyard, right again and in the room throught the arched door is a claymore in a chest. No need to fight, and you have two claymores to dual wield. Hope this helps.

Traveling merchants, open world bosses, dungeons, caves, and quests.

Most obvious map points of interest will have a boss, npc quest or dungeon.

Go buy Dragon Crest Shield Talisman (+15% DMG negation, 15k runes) and maybe even a higher tier smithing stone so you don't have to go in a cave orrrr infinite star shards or anything. It's amazing, stop ignoring it.

Yeah but you get that on items occasionally, I agree it's just spending the money never feels worth it compared to just picking up flat damage negation and adding a ton of effective HP to yourself.

Blue_Swallow · 3 months ago

Yep, negation damage and resistance is absurdly strong in this game. People have no idea how much they can tank with just a couple of those boosts or weapons with perks like getting improve damage negation on weapons.

People keep telling new Adel's tornado is something so horrible they try to cancel it with ult but actually I don't even care for the thing anymore. I just get a weapon or a talisman during the run with thunder damage resistance between 15-20% and I always choose the dormant powers that up physical damage negation and elemental damage negation and the tornado is absolutely nothing but a cool wind. I can pretty much go and hit Adel while in the tornado for quite a while and that thing will do nearly no damage.

This weapon requires you to be far into the capital. Teleport to the Erdtree Sanctuary Grace, and then head towards the elevator. You will see two perfumers, kill them, and the champion knight (optional, but makes the jump easier)

Then look over the edge directly in front of the door of the building you fight the champion next to, and jump down directly onto the giant weapon that is the Bolt of Gransax or the nearby terrain. Climb up the weapon and you’ll be able to get the smaller version with the same name.

You may fall once or twice as it’s bumpy terrain but if you feel yourself slipping just jump.
