New DLC weapon locations in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree (2024)

Weapons are the lifeblood of any Elden Ring build, and you’ll be able to find plenty more in Shadow of the Erdtree, the game’s DLC that takes place in the Shadow Realm of the Lands Between.

In this Shadow of the Erdtree guide, we’ll show you where to find all of the DLC weapons we’ve found so far.

Gravesite Plain weapons

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 multiple unique weapons to be found here, from bosses, dungeons, and exploration. Here’s what we’ve found so far.

Beast Claw

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.

Backhand Blade

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.

Greatsword of Solitude

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.

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.

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.

Anvil Hammer

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 Soldier Spear

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.

In the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past dungeon, which is in the southeastern part of Scadu Atlus, 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 Atlus, 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.

Black Steel Twinblade

Wherever you defeat a Messmer Soldier wielding an axe, there’s a random chance that it will drop the Messmer Soldier’s Axe for you.

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

Main-gauche

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.
