There are so many strong and badass weapons in Elden Ring, that we decided we had to make another list of the coolest weapons out there.
Again, longtime Souls fans won’t even be surprised that we’re writing another article about these weapons. We already wrote a list just a couple of days ago, but there are just too many weapons out there that we felt guilty leaving them out. The game’s meta will soon solidify, and guides will undoubtedly revolve around just a few choice weapons per class or build. But that also gives us more incentive to highlight the following weapons. While they might not be the best weapons in Elden Ring to use to cheese your way through bosses, these weapons still are worthwhile to get for their unique properties, aesthetic, and even just because of how badass they look. So, without further ado, here are 10 more of the coolest and most badass Elden Ring weapons out there. Special thanks to the contributors of the Elden Ring wiki for the info on these items.
10 More of Elden Ring’s Coolest, Most Badass Weapons – Their Required Stats and Where to Find Them
In no particular order:
Ghiza’s Wheel
How to Get: Dropped by Inquisitor Ghiza (Phantom) in Volcano Manor
Required Stats: 28 STR 18 DEX
Scaling: STR D DEX D
After meeting the required 28 STR stat, this weapon is a fearsome one to wield. Apart from its large swing range, Ghiza’s Wheel also has one of the highest bleed buildup damage in the entirety of Elden Ring. Its skill effect is also ridiculous, allowing you to take chunks of health from large opponents with a spinning Ghiza’s Wheel that you can hold indefinitely. Alternatively, you can use it as something like a lawn mower, moving while spinning the wheel in front of you.
Bloody Helice

How to Get: Found in a chest after beating the Sanguine Noble Boss in Writheblood Ruins
Required Stats: 16 STR 19 DEX 17 ARC
Scaling: STR E DEX D ARC D
A heavy thrusting sword that scales with both DEX and ARC, this is one of the best piercing weapons in the game. Instead of simply being a rapier, it actually resembles a lance more. Its skill Dynast’s Finesse allows you to dodge an attack and follow up with a quick thrusting attack. It’s an amazing weapon to use especially for PvP, where not a lot of players know yet the weapon’s moveset.
Eleonora’s Poleblade
How to Get: Reward for completing the Yura Finger Hunter quest line
Required Stats: 12 STR 21 DEX 19 ARC
Scaling: STR E DEX E ARC D
Eleonora’s Poleblade is one of the coolest twinblades in the game, with a fairly balanced stat requirement, allowing early game usage. The scaling is poor, but it’s so classy looking, almost making it look like you’re wielding Darth Maul’s twin lightsabers with the Bloodblade Dance skill.
Halo Scythe
How to Get: Dropped by the Cleanrot Knights at the Heart of Aeonia, or by Commander O’Neil Boss
Required Stats: 13 STR 16 DEX 15 FAI
Scaling: STR D DEX D FAI E
If you liked Moonveil from our previous list, then Halo Scythe would also interest you. The stat requirements for this weapon are even lower, but it also allows you to throw rings of light at enemies from afar with the Miquella’s Ring of Light skill. You can even chain the skill indefinitely until your FP and stamina runs out, letting you cheese its usage against some of the overworld bosses in Elden Ring.
Prelate’s Inferno Crozier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbshdhJV3Nw
How to Get: Dropped by enemies using it inside Fort Laledd
Required Stats: 45 STR 8 DEX
Scaling: STR C DEX E
Wielding this weapon takes a lot of dedication, but getting there is worth it. With a C scaling on STR, the Prelate’s Inferno Crozier gives you a lot of damage for the base STR required to wield it. Add to that the Prelate’s Charge Skill that lets you stomp enemies followed by a sea of fire, Prelate’s Inferno Crozier is a devastating weapon viable both for PvP and in clearing mobs.
Ringed Finger
How to Get: Found in a chest in Geimir Hero’s Grave
Required Stats: 17 STR 7 DEX
Scaling: STR D DEX D
More of a joke than anything else, the Ringed Finger is a hammer that lets you flick at the enemy. If you’re confident in your fighting skills, invading enemies with this weapon and killing them with the Claw Flick skill adds insult to injury. You can even taunt the enemy with this “Hammer” for a good mocking of their abilities.
Jar Cannon
How to Get: Dropped by Demi-Human Queen Margot Boss at the end of Volcano Cave north of Mt. Geimir
Required Stats: 34 STR 12 DEX
Scaling: Does not Scale
The Jar Cannon is a fun way to fight and bomb mobs from afar, but we don’t actually recommend using it against bosses. It does not scale with any of the stats required to wield it, but it’s a semi-viable overworld weapon for strength build characters looking for some ranged options for their repertoire.
Hand Ballista
How to Get: Found at the top of the Forest Lookout Tower on the Weeping Peninsula
Required Stats: 30 STR 14 DEX
Scaling: Does not Scale
RECOMMENDED
XC Enriquez ·
Franz Christian Irorita ·
Diego Padilla ·
Just like the Jar Cannon, this is a ranged weapon that is semi-viable for anyone building STR but wants to have a ranged option. The Hand Ballista works more like a crossbow, dealing massive damage to enemies right in front of you. It can one shot most enemies in the overworld, too, just don’t bring it in a boss fight.
Frozen Needle
How to Get: Found in a treasure chest in Kingsrealm Ruins after beating the Royal Revenant boss
Required Stats: 11 STR 18 DEX
Scaling: STR E DEX D
We realized that there was very little rapier representation in our previous list, so for this item and the next item, we’re focusing on two of the coolest and most badass weapons in Elden Ring. This one is literally the coolest rapier in the game: the Frozen Needle deals Frost Damage that can freeze enemies. It also has the Impaling Thrust skill that shoots ice beams at enemies. I dare you to deny that this weapon is the COOLEST in Elden Ring.
Rogier’s Rapier
How to Get: Given to you by Sorcerer Rogier at the balcony in Roundtable Hold after defeating Godrick the Grafted Boss
Required Stats: 8 STR 17 DEX
Scaling: STR E DEX C
This one isn’t as fancy as the other weapons in this list, but we include this for its practicality. It’s a great pickup early game, especially since Rogier rewards this to players after beating the game’s second boss, Godrick the Grafted. The weapon is given to the Tarnished already with a +8 smithing upgrade built in. While it gets out fashioned of many of the late-game weapons in Elden Ring, it still serves its purpose in the midgame while you look for other weapons that outclass it.
And that’s our list for 10 more of the coolest and most badass weapons in Elden Ring. While your journey in the Land Between would definitely become easier when you get these weapons, don’t forget that you’ll need more than just weapons to survive. Look for armor as well, and find the weird-looking “crowns” that actually look like Aristotlean stone masks that give passive buffs to your stats – they might be the key for you equipping some of the weapons above. And finally, skill is just as valuable as the equipment you have, so be sure to hone your dodge rolls and trigger discipline as well.
