Elden Ring: Great Weapons That Are Easy To Miss

Elden Ring: Great Weapons That Are Easy To Miss

As an old-time Elden Ring veteran with countless hours spent traversing the Lands Between, I must say that the Gelmir Glintstone Staff is one of those rare treasures that truly makes the journey worthwhile. The Man-Serpent Sorcerer in Mt. Gelmir is not for the faint-hearted, but if you’ve got the guts and the right gear (and some Flasks of Wondrous Physick), I guarantee it’ll be a fight to remember!


In the game Elden Ring, there’s a diverse selection of weapons tailored to each Tarnished player’s playstyle. While some weapons can be easily acquired or dropped by defeating bosses, others are secreted away in challenging locations. Rare weapons may even be a low-probability drop from tiny creatures like the Imps, who often inhabit the Catacombs.

In the realms of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, it can be quite challenging to gather every hidden treasure without overlooking some in specific locations. Therefore, having knowledge about hard-to-find weapons prior to moving on to the next region is beneficial.

8 Magma Whip Candlestick

Wield The Flame of Magma From Mt. Gelmir

Skill Sea of Magma
Initial Scaling Strength E – Dexterity D – Faith D
Weight 2.5

Engaging with Patches can be quite an involved process since it ties into one of the game’s NPC questlines. Initially, you encounter him as a boss during the Capital Raid Outskirts and he will beg for mercy when his health is dwindling. Later on, you re-encounter him in Volcano Manor.

In time, he will grant the Magma Whip Candlestick as a reward for assassinating that target on his behalf. However, it’s crucial to eliminate the other individual first. The weapon needs Somber Smithing Stones for upgrades, and in its final stage, the Dexterity scaling becomes fairly good with a rating of B.

Inflicts Eternal Sleep

Skill Mists of Eternal Sleep

Weight 2.5

From the Fissure Cross Site of Grace in the Stone Coffin Fissure, head northwest and repeatedly descend until you reach a sizable platform. Burrowed within it is a tiny rock crevice teeming with slime adversaries. At the end of this crevice lies an item that imbues a rare ability – when activated, it emits a purple mist causing Eternal Sleep to any affected enemies. Notably, foes such as the Godskin Duo are highly susceptible to this Sleep effect, making them momentarily defenseless and susceptible to attacks during this timeframe.

You can acquire the Stone-Sheathed Sword by traversing an unseen bridge from one of the upper levels in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. Once you spot the small structure nearby, enter it and grab the weapon. Some players might overlook the sword due to the invisible path. The sword’s basic skill is similar to other weapons, but its initial DEX scaling can boost its power to a B grade when fully upgraded.

4 Lizard Greatsword

A Unique Greatsword

Skill Stamp (Upward Cut)
Initial Scaling Strength C – Dexterity D
Weight 9.5

Having spent countless hours battling monstrous beasts and dark sorcerers as a hardened Tarnished warrior, I can confidently say that the Lizard Greatsword stands out from the rest. While its skills and scaling may be on par with other weapons, it possesses an extraordinary ability that sets it apart. When engaged in a fierce attack, this weapon unleashes a forked tongue projectile, dealing extra damage to my enemies. This unique feature has undoubtedly saved me from many perilous situations during my quest for the Elden Ring. The Lizard Greatsword is more than just a weapon – it’s an indispensable ally in my journey through the shattered lands of the Elden Ring.

In Elden Ring, you might acquire the Halo Scythe by hunting Cleanrot Knights scattered across different zones. These knights can be found and engaged near Commander O’Neil in Aeonia Swamp or within the Haligtree. Remember to focus on Cleanrot Knights carrying the Halo Scythe, as they are the ones that will drop it. However, keep in mind that this drop is quite rare, with a mere 2% chance, making it one of the scarcest weapons in the game. The weapon’s unique ability allows players to hurl rings of sacred light that inflict holy damage.
