There is no way to start the adventure with a good team. And the initial area, the Necrolimbo, hides several that will help you defeat the first bosses.
Have you just started Elden Ring and feel that your weapons are very weak? Don’t worry, in this part of our complete guide we recommend some that are very useful during the first hours of the game. You can get them as soon as you start , right after completing the tutorial and you will have no problem getting them in a matter of minutes.
The best weapons you can find in the Necrolimbo
- Halberd: It comes standard with the Wanderer class and is a classic that many users have been using for years in the Dark Souls saga. His lunge attack has a long range that allows you to hit without exposing yourself too much. It scales with Strength and is a pretty powerful weapon . If you don’t have it, you can try killing the knights who carry one in the village next to the pillar where you pick up the area map at the beginning of the game.
- Claymore– A classic in almost every From Software game. Simple, but very powerful on characters that base their build on physical damage (strength). In addition, you can get it quickly and without giving too many detours. It is found in a chest in Castle Morne , in the Weeping Peninsula. Going up the mountain of rubble and corpses in the courtyard, where there are several enemies next to a bonfire, you will see a door and behind it, the chest.
- Juramentado’s Straight Sword: it is a very interesting sword, since it weighs little, has a good attack index and critical damage. Getting it is easy, as it ‘s not uncommon for it to be dropped by soldiers lurking both nearby and inside Stormshroud Castle before reaching the fight against Godrick the Grafted . He rests on a nearby Grace, kill several of them and if you have no luck, try again.
- Long Sword: they say that it is better to know bad than good to know. It is not among the best weapons in the game, but it can come in handy for the first few hours. Best of all, you don’t need to look for it; You can buy it as soon as you start the game from the Santa Claus-looking merchant in the first church you see as soon as you reach the Necrolimbo.
- Flail: The most interesting thing is not its damage stat (although it is also very good), but the ease it has to cause bleeding to the enemy. It is found in a chest inside the village next to the pillar where you get the map of the area, the one in which we also recommend trying to farm the Halberd.
Our favorite: Hound Fang
This curved greatsword is not only very useful at the beginning of the game, but you can reach the end of the game using it if you improve it and it will be a totally reliable weapon. It is one of the best dexterity weapons, though it also relies on strength . Also, it deals a lot of bleeding damage. To get it you must overcome a small challenge: the mini-boss that awaits you in the Eternal Prison of the Desolate Hound , which you can access in the area that we indicate in the following image. It is not a complicated fight, since after all he is a normal enemy a little stronger than the rest and the best thing you can do is block his attacks, dodge some of them if you do not have enough resistance and take the opportunity to give him a couple of blows as soon as you have a breath.
Finally, if you have doubts about how weapon scaling works , in the following article you can find all the details that will help you get a powerful build.
