Limgrave is the first area for players to explore in Elden Ring – and is full of hidden secrets to discover. Players have been known to easily spend upwards of 15-20 hours – what would probably constitute an entire game elsewhere – in this area. . A lot of the early weapons in Limgrave are also good enough to serve players right through the entire game in fact. In this article, we will look at all the weapons that can be found in Limgrave.
On This Page
Bloodhound’s Fang
Easily one of the best weapons in the game – it is found early, has bleed buildup, has a killer weapon art, stat requirements can be met easily and is upgraded using Somber Smithing Stones – which are much easier to find – this weapon will easily carry you through the entire game.

Brick Hammer
The weapon when fully upgraded reaches the coveted S scaling on Strength, and also starts with an impressive B scaling . This can be two-handed with a Strength requirement of 21 – and is thus easily usable from early game.

Dragon Communion Seal
All points that hold true for the Bloodhound’s Fang also hold true for the Dragon Communion Seal; and is particularly useful for Dragon Incantations – it buffs them up by 15% – making it the best one for Faith + Arcane builds to use these incantations to destroy enemies from a distance.

Erdtree Greatbow
The Erdtree Greatbow, while has steep stats that are spread across three attributes – is a great ranged option to have. Although getting it is a bit of a pain; the effort is worth it, especially for quality builds. It is also easier to upgrade with Somber Smithing Stones.
![Erdtree Greatbow](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Erdtree-Greatbow.webp)

To reach to a place to be able to do that – you will need to jump off the edge before the bridge, then jump again till you reach an elevator – take the elevator up to the sniping spot.
Erdsteel Dagger
The Erdsteel Dagger does not have much going for it – you will get your hands on a pretty good dagger early on which is covered in this list and for sure does not justify the (admittedly low) requirements across three different stats. In case you are trying out a dual-wield dagger build early on, this can be your offhand weapon.
![Erdsteel Dagger Elden Ring](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Erdsteel-Dagger.jpg)

![Fort Haight location on Elden Ring map](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Fort-Haight-location-1024x577.jpg)
Flail
Not a very remarkable weapon – while it has bleed build up; it does not warrant the high requirement on dexterity – you will easily get much better choices to begin the game with if you are looking for a bleed / dexterity setup early on, and those choices are covered in this list.
![Flail Elden Ring](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Flail-Elden-Ring-e1710150931240.webp)

Golden Halberd
Yes it is found in Limgrave – it drops off a boss fight. No, it is not to be done in early game. The boss which drops the weapon, is , in fact an early tutorial by From Soft, trying to teach you “Come back here later”. The weapon itself is a pretty neat one which does split physical and holy damage and is a solid choice to keep poking enemies from afar.
![Golden Halberd Elden Ring](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Golden-Halberd.jpg)
![Golden Halberd Elden Ring](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Golden-Halberd.jpg)

Requirements | Strength 30, Dexterity 14, Faith 12 |
Weapon Art | Golden Vow |
Golden Halberd Location
Defeat the Tree Sentinel patrolling the area just outside The First Step Site of Grace.
Greataxe
The Greataxe is a good strength weapon – while the stat requirements are steep, two-handing the Greataxe will make it viable at a Strength of 20 (dual-wielding a weapon makes the Strength stat count as 1.5 times the actual stat). However; before you start upgrading this, you may want to hold off for the Greatsword – which can also be found pretty quickly in an area adjacent to Limgrave.
![Greataxe Elden Ring](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Greataxe-Elden-Ring.jpg)

Great Epee
The thrust attacks and their ability to stagger tough enemies and even bosses for a critical hit is the key selling point for the Great Epee – especially if you are able to get in fully charged attacks.
![Great Epee Elden Ring](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Great-Epee-Elden-Ring.jpg)

Highland Axe
A decent option for a one-handed weapon + shield combo; the War Cry weapon art boosts the attack power temporarily and is a key point in favour of this axe.
![Highland Axe Elden Ring](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Highland-Axe-Elden-Ring-e1710152743688.webp)

HookClaws
HookClaws have a great bleed build up and scale well with dexterity. They are a great weapon but require you to get right next to the enemy to deliver hits. If fast paced attacks and dodge are your style, this is worth giving a look into.
![HookClaws Elden RIng](https://thegamenomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Hookclaws-Elden-Ring.webp)

Lordsworn’s Greatsword
The perfect weapon to try your swings and get comfortable two-handing greatswords – just to warm you up till you lay hands on either the Bastard Sword or the Claymore – both better options that are again found early on in the game.
