Elden Ring: All Weapons and Shields and Where to Find Them

Where are all weapons and shields in Elden Ring? Elden Ring is full of vile creatures champing at the bit to turn you to ashes, so you’re going to want to ensure you bring the right weapons and shields to battle. As part of this Elden Ring guide, we’re going to help you even the odds by revealing all weapons and shields and how to get them. Of course, if you’re just beginning the game, then consider consulting our Best Weapons to Get First page as a starting point. And if you’re looking for armour, then we’ve got you covered in our All Armour and Armour Sets and Where to Find Them guide.

Elden Ring: All Weapons and Shields and Where to Find Them

In this part of the page, we’ll list all weapons and shields and how to get them in Elden Ring. Ultimately, there are four sources for weapons and shields in Elden Ring: starting class equipment, loot drops by enemies, loot found lying around, or purchased from a merchant. Each weapon has its own stat requirements, scaling possibilities, and special attacks.

If a particular weapon strikes your fancy but doesn’t hit quite as hard as you had hoped, fret not as most of them can be upgraded. To better understand how to do so, take a gander at our guide: How to Upgrade Weapons and Armour.

There’s a bounty of offensive options in Elden Ring, all of which have their own quirks and glimpses into the game’s greater world. We’ll break down each weapon and offer up their descriptions to allow you a taste of the history of the Lands Between while you plan out your next build.
