There are plenty of moments in Elden Ring where players will have to leave Torrent behind and face the inevitable roots of this Soulsborne game, namely Soulsborne dungeons. Or as the game likes to call them, Legacy Dungeons. These are pretty much Dark Souls levels plopped on top of the Lands Between open world to mark (mostly) linear areas where players can't use Torrent to speed

An Uchigatana or side Wakizashi will prove invaluable for the dual-wield setup until these end-game Katanas are available . Just be sure to equip Moonveil in the right hand to be able to use the Transient Moonlight Ash of War.

Reduvia : Perhaps the best part about Reduvia is that it's available in the early game. It drops after players defeat the invader Bloody Finger Nerijus, and its value is immediately apparent. It has everything: excellent Nightreign stat boosting scaling, Bleed, and a handy unique weapon skill that allows players to fight at ra

Moonveil also deals Bleed damage on hit, though it does not scale with Arcane and cannot be increased. It scales with Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence (primarily Intelligence), and its Ash of War will deal significantly more damage the more Intelligence your character has.

There are two notable uses for Stonesword Keys in Volcano Manor. One is for unlocking the area leading to the Dagger Talisman and the other is for the Crimson Amber Medallion +1 . Both are considerable talismans in the game, and here's how to get to the Gargoyle locks to obtain these items.

Ultimately the armor and appearance of your character when using Moonveil is up to you, but it's a weapon that just looks better when wielded by someone with light, flowing armor. The Preceptor's Gown (Altered) resembles a black Gi, though there is something to be said for the classic Land of Reeds armor too.

The Greatsword of Radahn (Lord) and (Light ) are both rewarded after beating Radahn at the end of Shadow of the Erdtree . Indeed, once you beat this incredibly difficult final DLC boss, you can purchase his full armor set, called the Young Lion's set.

Updated December 27, 2024 by Erik Petrovich : In Elden Ring, Moonveil Katana builds tend to focus on expanding the players' ability to wield this fast and versatile weapon with backup spells and weapons to complement the playstyle, as well as Talismans and Armor to help boost your effectiveness. This guide to the best Moonveil build Elden Ring players can put together has been updated to provide more details on these recommendations, including new information on the weapons' requirements and scaling, the most useful Sorceries, and more.

With this mod, players can obtain a lot of Runes from enemies who were pretty stingy in this department. Since this will let players accumulate a ton of Runes in no time at all, players can upgrade The Tarnished's skills to the point where any boss becomes a chump to deal w

Lake of Rot and the city of Nokstella were probably awesome on paper. In practice, it's just players skipping the content by running past them in order to avoid Scarlet Rot and all the tedious enemies. While the city of Nokstella is rewarding thanks to enemies that drop Larval Tear, the Lake of Rot area is neither fun nor challeng

The best side weapon to use with Moonveil is another katana to unlock the Powerstancing moveset unique to the weapon class. Powerstancing in Elden Ring lets players trade off defense for raw damage output, practically dealing twice the amount of damage as normal.

Bloodstained Dagger : A great no-nonsense choice. Since it's a basic weapon, it can be upgraded to +25 with regular Smithing Stones , but unlike the basic Dagger, it passively applies Bleed. Not only that, but when combined with another Ash of War, the Bloodstained Dagger can apply multiple status effe

Fire Knight's Shortsword : One of the best Elden Ring daggers added in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is this Fire damage-infused dagger. The Fire Knight's Shortsword scales very well with Faith and the Flame infusion, which boosts its Fire damage further. There are a lot of Fire resistant enemies in the DLC, but this is a great one to bring back to the base g

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 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

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
