Top 9 INSANELY Easy To Obtain And INCREDIBLY Powerful Early Game Weapons - Elden Ring Guide

[@mb824]

The cross naginata and zweihander are also available relatively easily. And before the "guts sword is better" comments, the zwei is easier to get, lighter, and easier on stats making it more accessible early.

[@TekTonic1l1l1l]

agreed. they would be on my list of 9 early weapon grabs.

[@TekTonic1l1l1l]

zwei is good with str focus and is an awesome colossal. i do believe it has better scaling on dex builds than most other ultras as well

[@common_undead]

@@TekTonic1l1l1l Yup. Zwei is the best colossal sword for everyone except pure str builds and mostly str hybrid builds (cold infusion, blood/poison infusion), in which case it is outclassed by gugs.

[@TheGayling2]

I’d argue that Guts Greatsword is easier to get due to being able to just go a pick it up rather than having to grind out the 3.5k runes to buy the Zweihander. 21 strength and 12 dex (2 handed) isn’t too stat hungry, especially when you consider that he had the winged scythe on the list 😂 Zweihander is much better early if you want to use a shield or a staff in the off hand or something though as it’s only 19 strength to one hand it.

Best seal for 1st playthrough arcane/faith caster in my experience.

"With the DLC right around the corner" Checks to see when this was uploaded: 1+ year ago.😅 Now the DLC is actually just around the corner, just a few months away!

[@attrage7545]

The flail, also at gatefront ruins, is really underrated. I actually favour it over the lordsworn greatsword in the early game, it's main advantage being it's a very fast, agile weapon, and the enemies that gave me the most grief early game were the ones with those fast heavy attacks, the lordsworn greatsword was just too cumbersome. The flail was great for getting in a few quick hits then dodging out of the way of those heavy attacks. Great video

[@tomasrocha6139]

The morning star has lower stat requirements and deals more damage.

[@adamu.2674]

Searched forever to find a good early weapons guide like this, either found 'insane early weapons' that required visiting late game areas to get or stuff so old that most the content is out of date. So thanks for this video, really helped a newb out. :)

[@davidhelman3045]

I think you forgot about Bloodhound's fang. You can get this very early, it has insane base damage and good scaling, with a great weapon skill + blink follow-up. If that wasn't powerful enough, you can also enchant it or coat it with weapon effects for some reason. Oh and it has innate bleed buildup. Can easily carry you through most of the game.

If this series is for newcomers, then I'd suggest doing a similar vid for smithing stones, especially easy to get somber smithing stones.

[@runamerone5492]

You can literally run to Iji for up to +4 somber, so that's nice! Plus over in Caelid you can get 8 and 9 relatively easily. I don't remember where to get 5, but you can get a 6 just outside redmane castle. 7s require a glitch, I believe (something about getting over the bridge in Volcano Manor), and the Ancient Dragon Somber stone can be achieved just outside of Mohg, if you do Varre's questline. I was able to get a weapon up to +9 before fighting a single boss, but I'm not sure if you can still get that +7 in Volcano manor. I think they fixed that.

Hey Dom, I took a hard needed sabbatical and when I got back yesterday I couldn't fight the urge to get back into one of my favorite games. Elden Ring. I have deleted my first playthrough and I started fresh. But when I was starting out I thought about you and your wonderful collection of helpful videos that you have done. I am a fan of your work from the first week that you were making the "things you've probably missed in Elden Ring " and voted for more of your videos. Anyway I started fresh yesterday and now I have found out that you are still going strong and I wanted to thank you for that. It means that I have more enjoyment than I would have without your help. And I am truly grateful for that. Thanks again and I hope to see even more Elden Ring videos made by you. Good luck in the future and take care. Bye bye greetings MacSpacey

[@Gakusangi]

For me it would be... Claymore instead of the Lordsworn, I feel it has a better moveset and honestly it just feels like a bigger sword with better reach, but that might just be my imagination. It has a slightly heavier stat investment requiring 13 Dex instead of just 10 Dex, but it's really not out of most starting class' range for use right away. It's in Castle Morne and you might not have to fight anything to get it. I'd honestly just go for the Nagakiba instead of the Uchigatana, especially if you already have them going for the Reduvia. It's a little more legwork, but it's only two assisted invasions and then you don't even have to fight Eleonora to obtain it. It has a bigger stat investment, especially that 22 Dex, but you can make an entire start to end-game build around this weapon. You can even pair it up with the Uchigatana if you have enough Str for it and that's a fantastic combo. Double-Slash is an amazing Ash of War to put on it as well, along with a Bloodflame buff to make it the "honest" Rivers of Blood. Regalia of Eochaid and Sword of St. Trina... can't really argue with those. If you can pull off getting them super early, you can't go wrong with either. Meteor Staff, excellent choice and the thing that proved to me that starting Elden Ring as a sorcerer was not only viable, but incredibly fun and easy compared to literally every other Souls game. Get your hands on that staff, and right next door you can grab the Rock Sling spell (that gets buffed by the staff) and you basically have something you'll use most of, if not ALL of the game. So we've covered Str, Dex, Int and Arc. Your Fth weapon was the Winged Scythe... not bad and the only other weapon I can think of for a quick Fth weapon is either the Golden Epitaph (which didn't wow me, but at least is good with undead enemies) and the Treespear, which is more of a Dex weapon at the end of the day, just like how the Golden Halberd is more of a Str weapon. Black Knife is too difficult to get at the start, the Erdsteel Dagger isn't very strong, Sword of Night and Flame is a huge stat investment and just as much an Int weapon, Cipher Pata is kind of a joke... I guess you can get the Devourer's Scepter right away, but that is a hefty stat investment and the loss of an armor set later on as well as the Blasphemous Claw if you get it early on.

[@layedbackObserver6504]

What about the Ice Hatchet ? The weapon skill is great against crowds and still very good against bosses. It deals inherent frost, and after you get frostbite on a target, you deal increased damage for some time. It's light, and the attack speed is decent imo. You have to get to liurnia, but there are no bosses to fight or tough enemies to either kill or evade.

[@YeOldeMachine]

03:32 the sorcerer on top of the ruins pelting you with pebble is the most annoying thing in the entire game...and I had no clue you could get the Regalia like that

[@davidmichaeljennings]

I duel stance lord sworn straight swords in my first playthrough infused with bleed ashes for double bleed build up and they destroy everything - they are really quick so any status effect build would work great with these.

[@TheJohnWickJr]

Sword of St. Trina is extremely helpful. I upgraded mine to the max before taking out Godskin Duo

[@From_A_Diverging_Timeline]

Sleep pots work on them too. Seems like a cool sword but I prefer other weapon types

[@Sgt.Johnny]

Getting the Holy blade weapon art grants a flat 90 holy damage bonus, which is huge early game. It fits perfectly on lordsworn great/straightsword, especially if you are going for a faith build anyway.

[@MonstertruckBadass]

Put it on the uchigatana

Even though it's tricky to get, you don't technically have to kill any enemies to get the Dragon Communion Seal in Limgrave. The best seal for a dragon communion incantation build. Pair that with the Reduvia and you have probably one of the most OP builds in the game.

[@troydejong6206]

Great video, was surprised you did not include the twin blade!

Damn! You play super aggressive! I love it! Those giant headed crows and wolves are by far the most panic inducing enemy I’ve ever encountered in my 14 years of playing Soulsborne games!

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

id add in the icerind hatchet. in itself its not too special but it does come with the hoarfrost stomp ability which is an insanely powerull ash of war. You can stun enemies twice with it allowing for an easy approach and kill, it costs little FP, you can savely spam it, and it hits in a cone, you can hit 5+ enemies at once with this and the size makes it much easier to hit fast enemies with it as well not to mention it does build up frost which is also a killer debuff and you can grab it savely without fighting anything from a chest in the swamp of the academy. Also id add the iceneedle rapier. Again per se not too special but it allows you a mid range projectile WITH ZERO FP COST which makes most non boss encounters in the game piece of cake. And it also builds up the neat frost debuff

[@ga9or10nechuebaba]

What about Edgar's alebarda? It comes +8 on the start, and great to cosplay helicopter with its ashes To get it - get through weeping peninsula with quest of Irina, reach and sanitize the fort, talk to Edgar. Then return to Irina's first meet location, talk to Edgar there and then slay him

[@The_welsh_cobrachicken]

I'd also suggest frozen needle. It's a thrusting sword that pairs well with jellyfish shield, you can attack from behind it with its buff, it has a ranged attack, it has frost build up, and it favors dexterity over strength

The best weapon in Elden Ring is not a weapon itself, but rather, it's an ability/skill. This skill is Timing your Dodge Roll. Once you learn to dodge roll, and avoid your enemy attacks, then you learn when to strike with weapon. Master avoiding attacks by dodge rolling, then you'll discover that the weapon you use is not as important.

But very happy to see the Lordsworn's Straight Sword on your list. It's a very fast weapon that consumes very little stamina. Great choice as a starter weapon at low levels. If you loved the Lothric Knight Straight Sword from Dark Souls 3, this is the Elden Ring equivalent.

[@outlawgt3045]

So far, my favorite weapon is the Grafted Greatsword. At level 6, it hits harder than my level 15 Greatsword and level 6 Falling Star Beast Jaw. And that's not even using the L2 buff. If I press that, my damage goes even higher for like a minute. I also love the move set. The R1 is a fast sweeping attack. This sword is a monster.

Yup thats pretty cool. Once I got it it carried me through my first playthrough. Though I struggled a lot with Malenia in the endgame.

Surprised you didn't mention the broadsword, Zweihander, or cross-naginata. The broadsword is the best infusible straight sword pound for pound, and you don't need to farm enemies at all. You can just buy it for 1800 runes at one of the merchants in Limgrave. Similarly, the zweihander is one of, if not the best early game weapon for pure strength builds, and you can buy it from the merchant in the southern end of the Weeping Penninsula, just south of mainland Limgrave. The Cross-Naginata is the best infusible spear in the game, and you get it from the same tunnel where you get the Moonveil, but you don't need to kill anything to get it.

[@JackassHill]

I always go for the Noble Slenders over the Lordsworns. Reduvia's a must. That thing is broken. I find that Night and Flame is pretty easy to get. You can basically ride straight there.

Vulgar milita saw is my favorite early game weapon. It's pretty good to be a mini beast man

[@bobroberts2581]

Could’ve added to Flail since it has a respectable bleed rate and can be used effectively at 2 levels into playing Warrior, meaning you have access to sword and board, the twin swords moveset, and a bleed weapon with more status build than the samurai starter katana. No Skill the shield and the flail lets you “Food Processor” the Farming Dragon for build bleed up.

Greatsword, cross-naginata, bloodhound blade, noble slender sword, nagakiba, golden halberd, zweihander, meteoric blade, and even the moonveil are just as easy to get, and probably better than several of the weapons on this list. (Moonveil is debatable, but using Rock sling and meteorite staff shown in this video make the boss of gaol tunnel very easy) The noble slender sword is the best basic straight sword in the game because it has the longest reach and gets great scaling from dex and can be farmed as a rare drop from any noble enemy with a straight sword. The best location is the graveyard just north of the dragon communion chapel in caelid, with 8? nobles.
