How to obtain the Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring?

Elden Ring offers players with a wide range of weapons to use. This includes swords, greatswords, bows, claws and several other weapons.

Amongst them, one of the best weapons that players can find quite early in the game is the Curved Greatsword. This weapon can be obtained by killing a boss that can be found near the south of Limgrave.

One of the best things about this weapon is that it inflicts the bleed status effect. Thus, it can be extremely good in sustained fights where players are consistently able to land hits.

Everything players need to know regarding the Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring

The Curved Greatsword is a reward for killing a boss named Bloodhound Knight Darriwil. In truth, this boss is tough to defeat, but in a very different way. The boss hits are high damage and can inflict massive bleed damage.

However, the boss does not have a lot of health. Therefore, once players get used to the moves of the boss, it is very easy to defeat him. In fact, it is possible to block most of his attacks using a shield.

The only thing that players need to keep in mind is the bleed status effect. This is because, while using a Vagabond class, it is possible to block all physical damage, but the bleed status effect goes through any form of defense.

Once the bleed bar goes full, players will lose a lot of health. If the health is below 50%, then players will die instantly. Also, considering this is an early game boss, most players will have very low health during this fight.

Once defeated, the Curved Greatsword is provided as a reward and it is arguably one of the best weapons to carry throughout the game. Either way, in order to defeat this boss, players will need to reach it.

It is important to remember that players do not have to worry about traveling all the way again if they die in the boss fight. There is a site of grace very close to the boss that can be activated before the start of the fight.

Players can also choose to respawn at the "Stake of Marika," which is an additional checkpoint very close to the boss fight. During the network beta test, this boss was a part of the Stormhill region. However, he was shifted to Limgrave in the final version of the game.
