While many of the weapons in Elden Ring's base game can carry you through Shadow of the Erdtree, the DLC also offers some new, powerful weapons that are just as, if not more, potent. One such weapon is the new Bloodfiend's Arm colossal weapon, which you can obtain fairly early in the DLC and easily carry through some tougher fights.
In this guide, we'll show you exactly how to get the new Bloodfiend's Arm colossal weapon in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree, as well as discuss the specs and stats of the weapon that make it such a viable choice for your Land of Shadow build.
Elden Ring Bloodfiend's Arm: How To Get In Shadow Of The Erdtree
The Bloodfiend's Arm is a colossal weapon exclusive to the DLC in Elden Ring. To obtain it, you'll need to farm Bloodfiend enemies scattered across various spots on the map. One of the most accessible farming locations is Prospect Town, situated early in the DLC, allowing you to wield the weapon throughout your entire journey.
To start, travel to Prospect Town and head to the ruins at its center. You'll find a tower where Bloodfiends roam around the steps. While you can explore the tower for a treasure chest, your main goal is to repeatedly farm these Bloodfiends until they drop the Bloodfiend's Arm. It may take several attempts, but utilizing the nearby Cliffroad Site of Grace can streamline your farming path.
As for the weapon itself, it boasts impressive base stats and exceptional flexibility. It comes equipped with the Bleed passive, which gradually builds up as you strike enemies. Additionally, you can customize its effectiveness by slotting in an Ash of War for additional benefits, such as increased Bleed damage or other desired effects alongside the base Bleed.
Overall, this versatility makes the Bloodfiend's Arm highly effective against a wide range of enemies throughout the game, including the main lineup of bosses in the DLC. Its main drawback is its slower speed (understandable for a colossal weapon), but mastering its playstyle easily positions it as a top-tier choice for Shadow of The Erdtree.
