Instead of getting Mighty Shot, like the Composite Bow, the Red Branch Shortbow has the Barrage skill. This skill allows a weapon to fire much faster than normal. In general, this skill isn't as desirable as Mighty Shot, although Barrage does have one advantage. A barrage of arrows has a much better chance of inflicting a status ailment on an enemy than a single s
Updated September 4th, 2024 by Jacob Buchalter: Even after the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC dropped, most of the 'overpowered' weapons in Elden Ring kept their spots in the rankings. And while the Nagakiba is among them, it's not widely regarded as one of the truly 'broken' weapons in this game. As easy as it is to get the Nagakiba, it truly is a unique and powerful weapon. However, not everyone is aware of how to get this katana nor of what exactly it entails. So with that in mind, let's break down the method of getting the Nagakiba, the questline it's involved in, and all the other rewards you'll be able to get along the way.
Bows and other ranged weapons are generally not the best weapon in games like Elden Ring , since there is more of a focus on melee combat. Bows, crossbows, and cannons are slow, it's easy to miss, they require ammunition, their damage generally is low, and many ranged weapons are not compatible with the best Ashes of War , which upgrade equipment. That being said, these weapons have their uses, and players will come across situations where ranged tools are the most efficient weapon for dispatching enem
Crystal Knife : While it can boast impressive base stats, the Crystal Knife has relatively poor scaling that sets it back. However, it is one of the few options for a dagger player looking to explore an Intelligence-based bu

The second method for obtaining the Nagakiba involves completing Yura's questline to a certain degree or at least interacting with it in some capacity and then heading to the Mountaintops of the Giants.
Updated on August 5, 2024, by Mehrdad Khayyat: Farming Runes is still an important part of the gameplay loop in Elden Ring, and primarily the only easy hack to level up the character skills before venturing forth to the difficult regions of the g
Crossbows need a little work in Elden Ring . They're certainly better than they were in the Dark Souls games , but they still need a little balancing. The deal with crossbows in games, traditionally, is they offer a trade-off to players; they are slower to reload but more accurate and damaging than bows. In Elden Ring , crossbows do quite a bit less damage than bows – even many light bows have higher damage rati
For any of you who have already reached the Mountaintops but missed a step in Yura's questline, don't worry, Eleonora will still always invade the first time you go to the Second Church of Marika, and Yura's Nagakiba can be found sitting wherever you last spoke with Yura as well, be that Murkwater Cave or one of his other locations.
Players can lure out the giant first for a one-on-one and deal with the soldiers later. To the east is the Gatefront Ruins encampment full of lowly soldiers and wolves along with one tough knight (who can be avoided altogether). Both of these potential farming spots are just a few meters away from the Site of Grace; players can simply walk back to safety and rest if things go a
Celebrant's Sickle : A decent option for farming runes since the Celebrant's Sickle grants an additional 10 runes on hit, but with the widespread availability of better rune farms in Elden Ring , there is very little reason to use the Celebrant's Sic
However, Yura's questline can be quite long compared to a lot of other NPC questlines and will require you to unlock/reach the Altus Plateau, which is unofficially considered a mid-game area in Elden Ring . Once you encounter Yura at the Second Church of Marika in the Altus Plateau and talk to him, the Nagakiba is yours. To complete this questline in full, you'll need to meet with and help Yura out a number of times, so let's break down exactly what's involved in this questline below:
As opposed to traditional, arena-based bosses, overworld encounters are characterized by the fact that players can get away from them at any moment, or stretch out the fight area by having the enemies chase them. This cheesing tactic applies to nearly every overworld boss, including the already-mentioned Commander O'Neil or Draconic Tree Sentinel (Capital Outskirts) , or even the Divine Beast Dancing Lion in the Shadow of the Erdtree D
