You can obtain the Nagakiba as soon as you're chucked out of the cave into The First Steps Limgrave . All you have to do is walk up north to the river that connects to Agheel Lake . Following this river a bit, you'll eventually come across a dungeon named Murkwater Cave. And, outside this cave, Bloody Finger Nerijus will invade you. From here you'll want to:

For a faster clearing operation, summon some Spirits and charge at these heathens. Players don't even need to fight the Pumpkin Head as he's too far away to join. Killing those Misbegotten enemies over and over again in an epic AI battle is always a fun spectacle and an enjoyable Rune farming met

Much like the Weeping Peninsula battleground, each death here from either side will grant the player some Runes. There are quite a lot of them fighting on the walls. Players can also join in and take out the flyers while they're busy. Profiteering off of war isn't exactly ethical but Melina needs that sugar — sorry, Ru

Parrying Dagger / Wakizashi : It's difficult to rank the Parry Dagger and the Wakizashi, since, in the right hands, they can be absolutely amazing, but in the wrong hands, they're among the worst weapons in the game. If a player knows how to parry in Elden Ring , though, these can both be paired with other weapons to create unique and devastating builds. Both the Parrying Dagger and Everdark Variants Wakizashi unlock a unique moveset when wielded in the off-hand with another weapon, so be sure to equip either another one of these best Elden Ring daggers or a powerful one-handed Sword, like the Uchigat

Depending on how much you want to invest into Endurance, you will likely need to use one of the four Arsenal talismans that can be found throughout the Lands Between (the Great-Jar's version being the strongest). The best arrows to use with the Starscourge build are Radahn's Spears, as they gain a boost to damage when paired with this weapon specifically.

The first supposed brick wall that players will face in Elden Ring is Margit, the Fell Omen , just waiting to ambush some poor ambitious fool just outside Stormveil Castle. Players will soon realize that they'll need more levels one way or another if they are to defeat Margit without much frustrat

Black Knife : The Black Knife hits S-tier primarily for its ability, Blade of Death. Despite a cumbersome animation, the Blade of Death ability does a hefty amount of damage and applies a damage-over-time eff

The other useful Spirit Ash is the Black Knife Tiche Ashes . Bosses have a difficult time hitting her, and her ranged attack drains health for a certain percentage. She can drain bosses for a stupid amount of damage if they leave her alone for too long. There are two main drawbacks to using her, though. The first is that she’s expensive to summon, requiring around 132 FP. The second is that she doesn’t draw aggro as often, so players will need to be more careful about avoiding hits. If she sounds useful, though, she can be obtained by defeating Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader in the Ringleader's Evergaol in Liurnia (accessed by progressing Ranni's questline ).

Blade of Calling : Its special ability shares an animation with the Black Knife's Blade of Death, but deals slightly less damage in most cases. Still, the Blade of Calling can be an excellent choice for a Faith build in Elden Ri

The Nagakiba is the more genetically blessed sibling of the Uchigatana ; it inherited the tall genes in the Elden Ring katana family. For Tarnished who want the short and simple version of obtaining this long katana, there are four methods they can use to obtain it:

Updated January 22, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : The best Daggers in Elden Ring are those that come with some kind of special effect or unlock a unique moveset, but many of the game's daggers are useful in the right hands with the right build. With the addition of several new DLC daggers, Elen Ring players have some more choices when it comes to the best Elden Ring Daggers. This Elden Ring Dagger tier list has been updated to include the Main-Gauche and Fire Knight's Shortsword, as well as to include some new details on Daggers available in the base g

These aren’t exactly mandatory, but they do pair well with the above weapons. So, for starters, try to get the Shard of Alexander talisman, as it gives a big buff to the attack power of weapon skills. It can be obtained at the conclusion of Iron Fist Alexander’s questline. Next is the Lord of Blood's Exultation talisman, which increases attack power if blood loss is inflicted upon an enemy. This can be won from Esgar, Priest of Blood in the Leyndell Catacombs . Another handy talisman is the Godfrey Icon ; this one buffs charged spells and skills.

Inside Castle Morne, there's a pack of Demi-Human and Misbegotten enemies celebrating their rebellion's victory in the castle grounds just after the elevator . There are several of them on a hill of rubble and there are also some rabid dogs nearby and a Pumpkin Head enemy at the far
