Elden Ring Best Early Weapon Routes

[GladiatorDrift]

Finding the right weapon early in Elden Ring can completely change your experience in the Lands Between. Whether you prefer heavy-hitting strength builds or nimble dexterity setups, securing a powerful weapon early can make bosses and exploration much smoother. Below are some of the best early weapon routes you can take to give yourself a strong start, along with some practical tips for upgrading them efficiently.

1. The Uchigatana – Balanced Power for Early Dex Builds

One of the most reliable early-game weapons is the Uchigatana, a classic choice for Dexterity players. It offers fast slashes, solid bleed buildup, and can be found very early without any major boss fights. You can find it in Deathtouched Catacombs in Stormhill, Limgrave. Defeat a few skeletons, pull a lever, and you’ll reach the room containing the weapon. If you started with the Samurai class, you already have it—but a second one can be dual-wielded for devastating bleed damage.

Upgrade this katana at the nearest blacksmith using Smithing Stones [1], which are abundant in the Limgrave Tunnels. Investing some early Elden Ring runes here is absolutely worth it, as a +3 or +4 weapon can carry you through several major encounters.

2. Lordsworn’s Greatsword – A Solid Strength Option

If you prefer a heavier weapon, the Lordsworn’s Greatsword is one of the most accessible early strength weapons. You can loot it from soldiers near the Gatefront Ruins or the Bridge of Sacrifice. It offers great balance between damage and speed, and it scales well with Strength once upgraded.

For players who like a traditional greatsword playstyle, this weapon can be enhanced quickly with early Smithing Stones. It’s also compatible with a wide variety of Ashes of War, letting you tailor its move set to your preference. Before upgrading, make sure you have enough runes—if not, you can always farm a few in the Gatefront area or look for an Elden Ring runes sale today to save some time if you’re playing on PC with modded or private servers.

3. Bloodhound’s Fang – The Dexterity and Bleed Hybrid

A fan favorite for good reason, the Bloodhound’s Fang can be obtained early by defeating the Bloodhound Knight Darriwil in the Forlorn Hound Evergaol (southern Limgrave). This curved greatsword scales excellently with Dexterity and causes rapid bleed buildup. The unique weapon skill, Bloodhound’s Finesse, offers both offense and mobility, allowing skilled players to dodge and counterattack with style.

This boss can be tough at level 20 or below, but with proper timing, spirit summons, or a co-op partner, it’s absolutely doable early on. The reward is a weapon strong enough to remain viable through the mid-game, especially once you’ve upgraded it a few times using your hard-earned or purchased Elden Ring runes.

4. Twinblade – The Speed Demon’s Choice

If you’re after something flashier, the Twinblade is found in Dragon-Burnt Ruins, east of the starting area in Limgrave. Its rapid attacks make it perfect for applying bleed, frost, or poison effects with the right build. Despite its low base damage, its quick combos make it deadly once upgraded.

Keep in mind that the Twinblade shines with buffs—apply Grease, Bloodflame Blade, or other weapon enchantments to maximize its potential. Like the Uchigatana, it’s an excellent weapon for aggressive players who enjoy fast, relentless attacks.

5. Early Rune Farming Tips

Upgrading any of these weapons requires a healthy stash of runes. Early farming spots like the Gatefront Soldiers, Stormhill Giants, or the Third Church of Marika area can net you a good amount quickly. However, if you’d rather skip the grind, you can always look into ways to buy Elden Ring runes from legitimate marketplaces that cater to in-game economy enthusiasts. While it’s not necessary, it can save hours of farming if you just want to focus on exploring or testing builds.

Choosing the right weapon early in Elden Ring is more than just about damage—it’s about how it fits your playstyle. Each of these routes gives you access to weapons that scale well, feel satisfying to use, and remain effective long after you leave Limgrave. Whether you’re slashing through enemies with a katana or crushing them with a greatsword, upgrading wisely and managing your rune economy will ensure a smoother journey through the Lands Between.
