Shadow of the Erdtree: Where to Find All Great Katana | Elden Ring

BY JC Paredes 2 years AGO 2 MIN READ

The Great Katanas in Shadow of the Erdtree are not your average swords. Boasting unique moves, killer skills, and enough style, even Malenia is jealous. So, if you’re ready to unleash your inner samurai, here’s where to find all three of these weapons.

Why You Need These Blades:

  • These katanas offer a whole new way to dance around your enemies, blending power and agility.
  • Each Great Katana comes with a signature move that’ll give you the edge in battle. Think of it as your own personal anime finishing move.
  • Whether you’re all about Dexterity or a Strength build fanatic, these katanas have got you covered. And let’s be real, these weapons look freaking awesome.

Great Katana Locations

  • Gravesite Plain
    • West of the Greatbridge, North.
    • It’s chilling next to a sleeping Ghostflame Dragon. Just sneak up and grab it before it wakes up!
    • Weapon Skill: Overhead Stance – Think of it as charging up for a power slam. Hold that blade high and unleash a devastating downward strike.

  • Dragon’s Pit (Dragon-Hunter’s Great Katana)
    • Northeast of Three-Path Cross.
    • Take out the Ancient Dragon-Man invader that you’ll come across following the path to the Dragon’s Pit.
    • Defeat the Ancient Dragon boss at the bottom of the pit. Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds.
    • Weapon Skill: Dragonwound Slash – This move is like a dragon-slaying uppercut. Coat your blade in a jagged aura and leap forward for a bonus damage attack.

  • Eastern Nameless Mausoleum (Rakshasa’s Great Katana)
    • Southeast of the Castle Watering Hole Site of Grace.
    • Defeat Rakshasa, the boss of this spooky mausoleum. He won’t go down without a fight, but the reward is worth it.
    • Weapon Skill: Weed Cutter – Channel your inner gardener and unleash a flurry of scythe-like swings. Keep the button mashed for continuous attacks as long as you have stamina.

Additional Tips:

Don’t rush through areas. Take your time to investigate every corner, and who knows what treasures you might find. Two of these katanas are guarded by bosses, so make sure you’re leveled up and ready for a challenge. Each katana also has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. Pick the one that best suits your playstyle and build.
