Source: IGGMIn some games developed by FromSoftware, some weapon types have been recurring. Although it may seem a bit boring, it is very good for some players who love RPG games, allowing them to focus on one weapon and use it in different games.
In Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree released some time ago, many weapon types were added, which was uncharacteristic. Among so many dazzling weapon types, the number of Fist Weapons is much greater than that in the basic game. This also allows players to choose more Fist Weapons and fight enemies in different ways.
How do you choose new Fist Weapons? How to use them effectively? This guide will detail their locations and some of their effects, making your exploration in Shadow of the Erdtree easier.

Poisoned Hand
- Location: Belart & Tower Settlement & Sewer floor
Some weapons are more powerful in the game than the damage they can do to the enemy, but the secondary effects they have on the target. Poisoned Hand is one of them. The intention is not to use it for directly damaging the enemy, but it can accumulate poison on the target, as its name suggests.
You might think, does that mean it will cause poison damage? In fact, it will increase the attack power of your offensive weapons, such as swords and spears. There are also two Elden Ring Items in DLC that can achieve the same effect - Kindred of Rot’s Exultation and Mushroom Crown, both of which can make your battles more offensive.
Madding Hand
- Location: Abyssal Woods & South of Woodland Trail Site of Grace
Among all the status effects in Elden Ring, the most powerful one is madness, so it is natural that Madding Hand has become one of the most powerful weapons that can provide players with madness.
It can accumulate madness through both normal attacks and Ash of War, but its attack range is not the best, as it needs to be in your hand at all times and you can only use melee attacks. Fortunately, its damage is quite impressive.
It performs well in PVE mode, but it is even worse in PVP! You can try it more in PVP mode, it will give you a pleasant surprise.
Thiollier’s Hidden Needle
- Location: Obtained by completing Thiollier’s questline
While Fist Weapons are not very popular in Elden Ring, this weapon and its unique status effect will definitely make you shine. Sleep in the game can be used in different ways, but only a few weapons can cause Sleep. Thiollier’s Hidden Needle is one of them.
Like Madding Hand, this weapon’s range is not that good, basically the same as the range of your fist. However, its intelligence and dexterity will scale very well, reaching C and B respectively when it reaches the top.
These sleeping enemies are not resistant to Thiollier’s Hidden Needle, so you can defeat them in the shortest time possible and get a lot of Elden Ring Runes, then run away quickly!
Golem Fist
- Location: Abandoned Blacksmith’s Shop in Tairyu
In the common opinion of players, strength weapons do more damage than Dexterity weapons do. In fact, the former will hit a little less than the latter, but the damage is indeed higher.
Golem Fist perfectly illustrates this point, and because of its strength status, it will have a stronger attack power than other fist weapons. Especially when it is infused with upgrades or other Elden Ring Items to become a heavy weapon, it can even reach the strength level of A-level, becoming a very fast strength weapon.
It may not be as strong as strength weapons of the same level, but the Golem Fist can make up for it with its speed, which will make your battle rhythm in your own hands. In addition, Ash of War has no special use for it, because Golem Fist itself is already indestructible.
Dryleaf Arts
- Location: Get from Dryleaf Dane
Of the new weapons added to Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, martial arts can be said to be one of the most gorgeous weapons. If you’ve played Sekiro, you can use this weapon to engage enemies in melee combat.
While Dryleaf Arts may not be a true fist weapon, you can use it to “power up” your fists, dealing surprisingly high damage. For dexterity users, it can be a powerful addition to your arsenal. Based on the damage, can it compete with proper weapons?
In addition, Ash of War is also a very useful tool that can help you deal with explosive damage in your surroundings. And when you charge it, it also provides you with super armor.
Pata
- Location: Near Church of Blessing, on top of a hanging corpse
One of the main reasons why players rarely choose fist weapons is their short range. As mentioned before, it is the range of a fist. However, Pata is the opposite. It is easier to hit enemies at a long distance than ordinary fist weapons.
As for the attributes, you don’t have to worry about it. Its dexterity attribute is very high, reaching B after upgrading to keen or quality weapon. In addition, it is also very fast and deals considerable damage.
These fist weapons can save your life in some emergency situations, so you need to use them reasonably and upgrade them as much as possible. I hope you have fun exploring Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree!
