To get the Rakshasa Great Katana and the armor set, first, you will need to travel to the Eastern Nameless Mausoleum. This is a minor dungeon that can be accessed through a secret passage found in the Shadow Keep map location in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

The Eastern Nameless Mausoleum houses a boss named Rakshasa whom you have to defeat in order to loot the sword as well as the armor set. To get to the Mausoleum, follow these steps:

Discover the secret passage:

• Start at the Shadow Keep Main Gate site of grace and follow the main path to a long bridge with fire pits.
• Defeat the Golden Hippopotamus if necessary.
• At the bridge's end, find a ladder on the eastern side, and descend the ladder to a waterside path.
• Follow the path under a waterfall and go down another ladder.
• Enter a chamber with a painting and locate a transparent wall to the right of it.
• Strike the wall to reveal a secret passage.
• Use the lonely coffin on a waterfall inside to travel to Castle Watering Hole.

The path from the Castle Watering Hole:

• Head south through the flooded plain. Be cautious of awakening Furnace Golems.
• Continue the path to Recluses' River Upstream site of grace and follow the path to Recluses' River Downstream site.
• From Recluses' River Downstream, look left over the cliff, where you can find many protruding tombstones. Use them to reach the river below.
• Follow the river towards the waterfall. Hug the side of the river and continue. Eventually, you will reach another waterfall's top.
• Find the Eastern Nameless Mausoleum to the left of this waterfall.

Once you locate the Eastern Nameless Mausoleum, get ready for the Rakshasa boss fight. He is not too difficult, but his hit hurt a lot. Use weapons that have the potential to make him bleed, as Rakshasa is vulnerable to it. Moreover, since he can be easily staggered, you won’t have too much of a hard time.

Once killed, you will be awarded with these items:

• Rakshasa Helm
• Rakshasa Armor
• Rakshasa Gauntlets
• Rakshasa Greaves
• Rakshasa Great Katana

Rakshasa Great Katana scales on Dex and Str, its special skill is called Weed Cutter, which lets the player perform a large wide area horizontal slice. It has a great range but is relatively slow.
