Hey, Tarnished! Have you heard of the new weapons in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC – the Backhand Blades? These are dual-wielding, bleed-inducing, and seriously stylish. So, if you want to slice and dice your foes in style, listen up!
Why You Need These Blades:
- Forget boring sword swings. These weapons offer a whole new way to dance around your enemies while dealing damage.
- If you’re into bleed builds, these blades are your new best friends. They’ll have your foes gushing crimson in no time.
- You can snag a pair of Backhand Blades pretty early in the DLC. No need to wait for the endgame to get your hands on these beauties.
Backhand Blades Locations
- Scorched Ruins
- Head north from the Site of Grace until you stumble upon a stone pavilion.
- The Backhand Blades are resting near a sarcophagus inside.
- Gravesite Plain (Curseblade Hunting):
- You’ll encounter these creepy Curseblade enemies all over Gravesite Plain.
- They have a chance to drop the Curseblade’s Cirque version of the Backhand Blades.
- Hit up the tower near the Belurat Tower Settlement boss for some prime Curseblade farming action.
- Ruined Forge of Starfall Past in Scadu Altus:
- Venture north in Scadu Altus until you find the Ruined Forge.
- Fight your way through the forge’s inhabitants.
- Behind the second main door, you’ll find a corpse clutching the Smithscript’s Cirque Backhand Blades. Score!
Additional Tips:
The Three Path Cross location is a no-brainer for a quick and easy pickup. If you want the Curseblade variant, be prepared to slay a bunch of Curseblades. The Ruined Forge takes a bit more effort to reach, but the Smithscript’s Cirque blades are worth the trek.
