All the Elden Ring weapons we've found so far

Elden Ring weapons are quite hard to come by in the Lands Between. Like Demon Souls, weapon drops are quite rare, and you'll have to earn what you fight with. But the weapons it does have are extremely cool and it's well worth the effort to seek them out.

You've got classic weapons like the great club and the broadsword, but then there are unique armaments like an unblockable knife made of ciphers, a dagger than can fire projectile blood blades, and a dragon head you can attach to your arm and use to spew flames. Some Elden Ring bosses drop "souls" which can then be turned into boss weapons, offering arguably stronger skills. Here we'll explain where to get all Elden Ring weapons we've found so far.
