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.

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.
| Type | Curved Greatsword |
| Weight | 11.5 |
| Scaling | Strength D , Dexterity C |
| Requirements | Strength 18, Dexterity 17 |
| Weapon Art | Bloodhound’s Finesse |
Bloodhound’s Fang Location

- Take the south-west slope leading up to the Forlorn Hound Evergaol
- Interact with the arena and you will enter into a battle with the Bloodhound Knight Darriwil
- Defeat the boss to obtain the Bloodhound’s Fang
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.
| Type | Great Hammer |
| Weight | 12.5 |
| Scaling | Strength B |
| Requirements | Strength 31 |
| Weapon Art | Barbaric Roar |
Brick Hammer Location
The Brick Hammer is located in the Stormveil Castle. After you have acquired the Rusty Key and unlocked the door, take the ladder, go right, and jump across the floor to reach the outside area, where you will find the weapon on a dead body hanging over the ledge
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.
| Type | Seal |
| Weight | – |
| Scaling | Faith D, Arcane C |
| Requirements | Faith 10, Arcane 10 |
Dragon Communion Seal Location
Go to Fringefolk Hero’s Grave – next to the Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace. You will need 2 Stonesword keys to gain access. Progress through the cave till you reach an area with a Banished Knight – defeat him to get your hands on the Dragon Communion Seal.
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.
| Type | Greatbow |
| Weight | 11 |
| Scaling | Strength E, Dexterity E, Faith D |
| Requirements | Strength 20, Dexterity 20, Faith 14 |
| Weapon Art | Through and Through |
Erdtree Greatbow Location
This is located in the Fringefolk Heros Grave near the Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace. Defeat the Chariot by hitting the pots suspended on the ceiling for him to drop the Erdtree Greatbow. 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.
| Type | Dagger |
| Weight | 2.0 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D, Faith D |
| Requirements | Strength 7, Dexterity 12, Faith 14 |
| Weapon Art | Quickstep |
Erdsteel Dagger Location
The Erdsteel Dagger is obtained from Kenneth Haight after clearing out all enemies in Fort Haight – situated at the south-east edge of Limgrave. Kenneth Haight will be found standing on an elevated area which can be reached by taking the main road to the left of the Third Church of Marika
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.
| Type | Flail |
| Weight | 5.0 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D |
| Requirements | Strength 10, Dexterity 18 |
| Weapon Art | Spinning Chain |
Flail Location
The Flail is located in the back of a carriage near the Gatefront Ruins. You can either sneak your way by killing the enemy standing right next to the carriage or clear out the entire area and then loot it all at your leisure. You can also get the Lordsworn’s Greatsword in a similar carriage at the exact same place.
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.
| Type | Halberd |
| Weight | 13.5 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity E, Faith D |
| 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.
| Type | Greataxe |
| Weight | 13.0 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D |
| Requirements | Strength 30, Dexterity 8 |
| Weapon Art | Barbaric Roar |
Greataxe Location
Make your way to the Gatefront Ruins where you will see a carriage being pulled by 2 trolls and surrounded by several enemies. Hit the troll once to stop the carriage and you can loot the Greataxe from the chest at the back of the carriage.
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.
| Type | Heavy Thrusting Sword |
| Weight | 6.5 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D |
| Requirements | Strength 15, Dexterity 16 |
| Weapon Art | Impaling Thrust (FP : 9) |
Great Epee Location
- Start from the Agheel Lake South Site Of Grace and take the left road up; (the right one leading to the Forlorn Hound Evergaol). You will come across an area marked with gravestones and some enemies. The weapon is located in a chest next to a green and yellow banner.
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.
| Type | Axe |
| Weight | 4.5 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D |
| Requirements | Strength 12, Dexterity 9 |
| Weapon Art | War Cry |
Highland Axe Location
The Highland Axe is found in the first major dungeon – the Stormveil Castle. Progress through the Castle till you reach a room with the Grafted Scion. Loot the Highland Axe off a body located in this room near the huge painting.
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.
| Type | Claws |
| Weight | 2.0 |
| Scaling | Strength E, Dexterity C |
| Requirements | Strength 8, Dexterity 14 |
| Weapon Art | Quickstep |
HookClaws Location

Large Club
A pure Strength scaling weapon – and that too at a C, this is the perfect weapon to begin your journey towards the utimate Unga Bunga build! And if you are not already sold, here is the description : “A thick, solid lump of wood. Wielding this striking weapon requires no skill. A simple, primitive weapon that requires only brute strength to swing about.“
| Type | Great Hammer |
| Weight | 8.5 |
| Scaling | Strength C |
| Requirements | Strength 22 |

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.

Shamshir
A decent curved sword to dual wield, you will have to wait a while to get your hands on better curved swords and hence if that is the weapon category of your choice, this will form part of your setup early on.
| Type | Curved Sword |
| Weight | 3.5 |
| Scaling | Strength D, Dexterity D |

Uchigatana
The perfect weapon choice to get the Samurai feeling going – it comes with a pretty solid moveset, has bleed build up, scales pretty well with Dexterity and also has a good damage-dealing weapon art equipped. For extra effect, you can start with the Samurai class which has this as the starting weapon, get the second one in the game and become a dual wielding badass Samurai!
