Summary
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition adds a fresh batch of weapons and gear to the Lands Between, giving returning players new options for melee builds and exploration. The new content launched alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 version on August 28, 2026, and is also available separately as the Tarnished Pack on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. You can also buy Elden Ring Runes to prepare for the new content.
So, what new weapons can you get, and where are they hiding? Here's a quick breakdown of all seven additions and how to collect them.
Reverse-Bladed Sword
The Reverse-Bladed Sword is one of the easiest weapons to obtain. Simply visit the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold and purchase it. It uses the Backhand Blade moveset and comes with the Blind Spot skill, making it an interesting option for Dexterity-focused builds.
Idus Sword
The Idus Sword is the signature weapon of the new Idus Knight starting class. If you choose another class, you can find it on a corpse beneath a tree in southern Liurnia, near the Liurnia Lake Shore area. Its Piercing Thrust skill can help deal damage through enemy defenses.
Hefty Scimitar
The Hefty Scimitar comes with the new Heavy Knight class. Alternatively, you can purchase it from the Nomadic Merchant north of Fort Haight West in East Limgrave. Its Spinning Slash skill makes it a useful choice for aggressive melee builds.
Reed Great Katana
For players who enjoy katana builds, the Reed Great Katana is worth hunting down. Travel to Fort Faroth in Caelid, then head north toward the large fungal mound near Greyoll. The weapon can be looted from a corpse at the top.
Ritual Thrusting Shield
The Ritual Thrusting Shield can be found inside the Caelid Colosseum. Reaching the area requires navigating through the underground Siofra region, making this weapon slightly more complicated to obtain.
Leontiel's Greatsword
After defeating Starscourge Radahn, return to his arena in the Wailing Dunes. Head north to trigger an invasion by Knight Leontiel. Defeating her rewards you with Leontiel's Greatsword and her armor set.
Golden Order Flail
Finally, progress through the Brother Corhyn and Goldmask questline in Leyndell. After casting Law of Regression near the Radagon statue, the Broken Gold Mask encounter becomes available. Defeat the invader to obtain the Golden Order Flail.
Final Tips
The Tarnished Edition gives Elden Ring veterans plenty of reasons to revisit familiar regions. From early-game purchases to late-game invasions, these seven weapons offer new build possibilities and fresh reasons to explore every corner of the Lands Between. Having enough Elden Ring Runes can also make it easier to level up and upgrade your new weapons.
