Elden Ring has a lot of enemies for you to slay. This is why FromSoftware allows you to choose from over 350 weapons. These weapons are divided into different categories, and each one is unique. Today, we will discuss the best strength weapons in Elden Ring, along with where you can get them.
Ordovis’s Greatsword
The first strength weapon on our list is the Ordovis’s Greatsword. Just by looking at it, you’ll be able to tell that this weapon means business. To wield it, you need 25 Strength, 14 Dexterity, and 15 Faith.
The Ordovis’s Greatsword can not be infused with Ashes of War, but it comes with its default skill called Ordovis’s Vortex. When used, your character will spin the sword before slamming it down. This skill is excellent for targeting multiple nearby enemies at once. To get your hands on this weapon, you will need to defeat a boss named Crucible Knight Ordovis, who can be found at Auriza Hero’s Grave.
Prelate’s Inferno Crozier
Out of all the weapons on our list, Prelate’s Inferno Crozier is easily the most badass-looking weapon. It’s one of the hard-hitting weapons that can deal a great amount of damage with each hit. As for its wielding requirements, you will need 45 Strength and 8 Dexterity. Yes, the requirements are high, but this is expected from powerful weapons.
Unlike the above-mentioned weapon, you can use Ashes of War with Prelate’s Inferno Crozier. However, its default skill, called Prelate’s Charge, is already pretty amazing, as it lets the user charge forward and toss their opponents in the air.
To get your hands on this powerful weapon, you will need to go to Fort Laiedd. There, you will need to defeat the the Fire Prelate, who can be found near the Seethewater Terminus Site of Grace.
Ruins Greatsword
There are only a few weapons in Elden Ring that can help you take down multiple enemies at once, and the Ruins Greatsword is one of them. If you are just starting out in the game and are planning to use this weapon in the future, make sure you invest greatly in Strength. This is because you need 50 Strength and 16 Intelligence to wield the weapon.
With each hit, the weapon can deal 124 physical damage, meaning that you can trust it against even the toughest of opponents. But the thing which makes Ruins Greatsword one of the best strength weapons in Elden Ring is its skill, Wave of Destruction. When used, your character will raise the sword and then strike it on the ground to send out a powerful wave. The wave is extremely powerful and can annihilate multiple targets at once.
If you are interested in adding this Greatsword to your arsenal, you will need to make your way to the Redmane Castle Plaza and defeat the Misbegotten Warrior.
Lion Greatbow
In Elden Ring, there are times when you can’t afford to get up close and person with your enemy. In such cases, you need to rely on a ranged weapon. For this purpose, we will recommend the Lion Greatbow. Being a Greatbow, it can deal a huge amount of damage with each hit, meaning that you can even target bosses from far away using this weapon.
Even though it is pretty powerful, the wielding requirements of the Lion Greatbow aren’t that much. You just need 22 Strength and 18 Dexterity to use this weapon properly. As for its skill, the Lion Greatbow offers Radahn’s Rain. This is one of the best skills in the entire game as it allows the user to fire multiple arrows in the air and make them rain over their targets. In other words, you can target a group of enemies by using this skill.
To get the Lion Greatbow in Elden Ring, you will first need to defeat Starscourge Radahn to get the Remembrance of the Starscourage. Then, you can trade this item with Enia at the Roundtable Hold in exchange for the Lion Greatbow.
Giant-Crusher
Out of all the weapons present on our list, the Giant-Crusher has the highest wielding requirements, as you need 60 Strength to use it. In other words, you need to invest greatly in your Strength stats to start using this weapon. However, the effort will be worth it, considering the Giant-Crusher can deal 155 damage with each hit.
The only downside about the Giant-Crusher is its skill; Endure. It is not one of the best skills, and it can only help you with blocking powerful attacks. Fortunately, you can infuse this weapon with Ashes of War, so this shouldn’t bother you too much. Overall, the Giant-Crusher is an excellent weapon that truly lives up to its name. In other words, it can actually crush giants.
To acquire this powerful weapon, you need to make your way to the back of a Carriage located south of the Outer Wall Phantom Tree Site of Grace. There, you can find the weapon inside a chest.
Grafted Blade Greatsword
Finally, we have the Grafted Blade Greatsword. For us, this is the best strength weapon in Elden Ring. Compared to the above-mentioned weapons, this one can deal the most amount of damage with each hit; 162. Furthermore, you need 40 Strength and 14 Dexterity to wield it. So you better start investing in your Strength stats.
While the weapon is already extremely powerful, you can use its Oath of Vengeance skill to increase all Attributes by 5 for 30 seconds. Furthermore, it is important to remember that you can not use any Ashes of War with this weapon.
To get the Grafted Blade Greatsword in Elden Ring, you will need to defeat Leonine Misbegotten. This boss can be found in Castle Morne.
Final Words
These were some of the best strength weapons in Elden Ring. It is important to remember that there are plenty of other strength weapons present in the game, and you should check them out as well. The list is based on our personal preference, and you might find some other weapons better than these.
In any case, the mentioned weapons can help you take down the toughest of opponents. Whether you want to take down a powerful boss or defeat a group of enemies at once, all of the weapons can be trusted.
