Twin Blade

It has a good range and unleashes a series of very fast attacks that can be spammed without giving the time or way to the enemy on duty to react. Plus the basic ability unleashes a forward spinning attack, which is a great opening move.

You can find it in Agheel Lake, near the "Dragon Incinerated Ruins", refer to the map above for the exact location. Specifically, the weapon is located inside a chest inside a basement, reachable only by using the double jump of the Torrente to climb over the walls of a ruined building.

Reduvia

Elden Ring, here's where to find the Reduvia

Required parameters: 5 in Strength, 13 in Dexterity and 13 in Basic Arcane Scaling: E in Strength, D in Dexterity and Arcane Side Effect: Bleeding Weight: 2.5

Her unique ability also throws bloody blades in a straight line, with a good range and a low AP cost (4 points).

To get the Reduvia you will have to continue in the stream north of the lake of Agheel, to the point indicated in the map above. You will be invaded by the NPC Nerijus. Be careful, he is extremely strong and can take you out with just a few hits. Fortunately, what you have to do to win the fight is to resist for about twenty seconds: the NPC Yura will come to your rescue. Your unexpected ally is so strong and resilient that he can very well defeat the invader alone without your help. Once Nerijus is dead, he will leave the Reduvia.

Warhammer

Elden Ring, here's where to find the Warhammer

Required parameters: 26 in Strength and 8 in Dexterity Basic Scaling: C in Strength and E in Dexterity Weight: 10.0

The Warhammer requires a considerable investment in Strength (using it with two hands is enough 18 points), but it is one of the strongest hammers in the game. It hits hard, has a good moveset, complete with lethal attacks in charge, and can easily break the posture of the opponents. Sin in terms of range, but it would have been too much to ask otherwise. The basic skill is very good indeed: it increases damage dealt, defense and Stamina recovery.

You can get the Warhammer by defeating the boss located in the "Catacombs of Etching" mini-dungeon, which it is located just north of where you faced Nerijus (in any case, refer to the map above).

Grandascia

Elden Ring, here's where to find the Grandascia

Required parameters: 30 in Strength and 8 in Dexterity Basic Scaling: D in Strength and Dexterity Weight: 13.0

The Great Ax is another instrument of death that requires a generous investment in Strength (to wield it at two hands is enough 20 points), but if you are looking for a heavy weapon it might be for you. Compared to the Warhammer mentioned in the previous paragraph, it has a slightly wider range of action, but it lacks in horizontal attacks, which makes it less suitable for facing groups of enemies. The music changes by activating his ability, which increases damage and transforms the basic combo of heavy attacks into a series of extremely powerful slashes.

You will find the Great Ax in the chest located in the back of the chariot carried by the two trolls who are they move along the way between the places of grace "North Agheel Lake" and "South Agheel Lake". The only way to open the chest is to take out at least one of these two enemies, but fortunately being chained their movements and aggression will be limited compared to those who roam the Interregnum. It is not necessary to kill the escort made up of undead and knights following the chariot, but it could be a good idea to avoid distractions during the fight with the giants.

Fang of the limiere

Elden Ring, here's where to find the limiere's Fang

Required parameters: 18 in Strength and 17 in Dexterity Basic scaling: D in Strength and C in Dexterity Side effects: bleeding Weight: 11.5

The Fool's Fang is a great build quality weapon. It has good range, causes bleeding, and the basic ability executes an upward slash followed by a back flip - a technique that once mastered can become very useful. On the other hand, it is not exactly light and requires a fair investment in both Strength and Dexterity.

You can get this weapon by facing the optional boss Limiere Knight Darriwil in the Eternal Galley south of Sepulcride, at the point indicated on the map here on. The clash is not very simple, but neither is it impossible. After a few attempts the boss moveset becomes somewhat predictable, making the fight trivial.
