The second area that players will run into after Limgrave, the Weeping Peninsula lies to the south-east of Limgrave and is named so – since it constantly rains. The description for the area, thus reads ” The peninsula, to Limgrave’s south, is named for its unceasing rainfall, redolent of lament.” A smaller area than Limgrave, but is more packed and has a good number of weapons to collect.

Claymore
One of the most reliable greatswords in the game, with a devastating weapon art, and one which can again carry you through most of the game – the moveset for the weapon includes a thrusting charged attack which is unique to this weapon in it’s category.
| Type | Greatsword |
| Weight | 9.0 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D |
| Requirement | Strength 16, Dexterity 13 |
| Weapon Art | Lion’s Claw |
Claymore Location
The Claymore is located in Castle Morne. Upon entering the castle courtyard, make your way past the enemies and upon reaching the interior of the castle – which is the armory – you will find the Claymore in a chest to your left.
Demi-Human Queen’s Staff
The Demi-Human Queen’s Staff will be the first Intelligence based weapon that you can get your hands on – this is a pretty basic Glintstone staff to try out (it also has very low requirements for both Strength and Intelligence) till you come across better options.
| Type | Glintsone Staff |
| Weight | 3.0 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Intelligence C |
| Requirements | Strength 6, Intelligence 10 |
Demi Human Queen’s Staff Location
The Demi Human Queen’s Staff drops after defeating the Demi Human Queen – the boss in Demi Human Forest Ruins. The area can be accessed taking the left path down towards the Bridge of Sacrifice, starting from the Church of Pilgrimage
Grafted Blade Greatsword
The Grafted Blade Greatsword looks every bit as awesome as its name – and with the recent patch that made the recovery from attacks faster, the weapon is a strong option for a Strength based build aimed to destroy the enemy with a few, carefully executed hits of this weapon. However, it has a steep Strength requirement of 40 – which means that you will most probably be getting this sword much earlier than when you can use it. It has an excellent Weapon Art which buffs all attributes by +5 for 60 seconds.
| Type | Colossal Sword |
| Weight | 21.0 |
| Scaling | Strength C, Dexterity E |
| Requirements | Strength 40, Dexterity 14 |
| Weapon Art | Oath Of Vengeance |
Grafted Blade Greatsword Location
The Grafted Blade Greatsword is a drop from defeating the Leonine Misbegotten boss at the very end of Castle Morne – located at the southern-most tip of the Weeping Peninsula.
Hand Ballista
The Hand Ballista is a solid ranged alternative for Strength based builds who are not invested into ranged magic spells through either Faith or Intelligence. The weapon excels on dealing damage and also has a good range, but does take some time to reload in between shots.
| Type | Ballista |
| Weight | 10.0 |
| Scaling | NA |
| Requirements | Strength 30, Dexterity 14 |
| Weapon Art | Kick |
Hand Ballista Location
The Hand Ballista is located at the top of the Forest Lookout Tower – which is located south west of the Bridge Of Sacrifice Site of Grace.
Morning Star
This is a pretty neat and surprisingly good weapon – it has a fast moveset, comes with bleed and can bludgeon enemies causing to stagger them quickly. Is especially useful for clearing out the enemies you come across in mining tunnels.
| Type | Hammer |
| Weight | 5.0 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D |
| Requirements | Strength 12, Dexterity 8 |
| Weapon Art | Kick |
Morning Star Location
The Morning Star can be looted off the back of a broken carriage -and is found just down the road after crossing the Bridge Of Sacrifice.
Nightrider Flail
A clear upgrade from the Flail found early on in Limgrave, but the weapon suffers from the simple fact that Flails, as a category are not the best performing ones by far and with the availability of far better options both on scaling, bleed build up, range and attack speed.
| Type | Flail |
| Weight | 6.0 |
| Scaling | Strength E, Dexterity C |
| Requirements | Strength 10, Dexterity 24 |
| Weapon Art | Spinning Chain |
Nightrider Flail Location
The weapon drops off from the Nightrider boss which is found patrolling (only during night-time) around the Castle Morne Rampart Site of Grace.
Rusted Anchor
The Rusted Anchor is an underrated Greataxe -it can deal ridiculous amounts of poise damage to the enemy and looks damn good when doing it!
| Type | Greataxe |
| Weight | 12.5 |
| Scaling | Strength C, Dexterity E |
| Requirements | Strength 26, Dexterity 9 |
| Weapon Art | Barbaric Roar |
Rusted Anchor Location
The Rusted Anchor drops off the Scaly Misbegotten boss at the very end of the Morne Tunnel
Steel-wire Torch
It is a torch …wrapped with a steel wire. Great weapon for a challenge run
| Type | Torch |
| Weight | 3.0 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity C |
| Requirements | Strength 10, Dexterity 8 |
| Weapon Art | Firebreather |
Steel-wire Torch Location
The Steel-wire Torch is found in Castle Morne. After reaching the very top of the castle, make your way to a narrow passage on the north side of the castle. You will come across two Misbegotten and a corpse at the very end – from which you can loot the Steel-wire Torch.
Whip
While there are a couple of whips worth giving a look into, this is not one of those. Like Flails, this is a less popular category – the fact that whips cannot land critical hits adds to the handicap
| Type | Whip |
| Weight | 2.0 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D |
| Requirements | Strength 8, Dexterity 14 |
Whip Location
The Whip is found in Castle Morne – from Beside The Rampart Gaol, take the room on the right – and you will find the Whip on a corpse.
Winged Scythe
One of the best Faith melee weapons that carries you comfortably to end game; it has a great weapon art that is particularly useful in PVP, since it prevents the enemy from using healing potions. The weapon does split physical and holy damage, and is upgraded using Somber Smithing Stones. As a bonus – it also inflicts bleed buildup.
| Type | Reaper |
| Weight | 7.5 |
| Scaling | Strength E, Dexterity D, Faith D |
| Requirements | Strength 16, Dexterity 16, Faith 24 |
| Weapon Art | Angel’s Wings |
Winged Scythe Location Elden Ring
The Winged Scythe is located in a chest in an underground cellar in the Tombsward Ruins
Zweihander
The Zweihander is the lightest Colossal Sword in the game – and as such is a great mix of high stagger potential and a relative quicker moveset as compared to other Colossal Swords
| Type | Colossal Sword |
| Weight | 15.5 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D |
| Requirements | Strength 19, Dexterity 11 |
| Weapon Art | Stamp (Upward Cut) |
