The Rarest Weapon in Elden Ring is Available at the Very Start of the Game, Fans Weep Tears of Blood Trying to Get it (2024)

Here's how you can unlock the weapon with lowest drop rate in Elden Ring.

Elden Ring is a game that offers its players numerous customization possibilities. From their name, class, and looks to the way they want to dispose of their enemies, everything is in their own hands. Players can develop specific builds, and they can find special weapons to make their builds even stronger. They can even get specific armor for specific builds to get even stronger.

Weapons are the most crucial part of any build-in Elden Ring. Choosing the right weapon to be able to face enemies without much hardship can be a little hard. To make things a bit easier for Elden Ring fans out there, here’s a weapon that would make them stronger and that can be unlocked pretty early in the game: Noble’s Slender Sword.

Everything Elden Ring players need to know about Noble’s Slender Sword

Most big bad weapons in Elden Ring are either gotten by defeating some heavy-hitting bosses or by just exploring caves and dungeons. And no doubt, those weapons can prove very powerful as well as useful. They are equally hard to get; a good example is the Darkmoon Greatsword, which can only be obtained after finishing Ranni’s side quest, which in itself is a maze of twists and turns. But it gives players the ability to throw magic projectiles at will.

But some weapons are even harder to get. Darkmoon Greatsword just requires a player to clear a side quest. As complicated as it might be, it’s still a sure-shot reward for completing that side quest. But some weapons require players to be extremely lucky. Weapons with a very low drop rate.

One such weapon is the Noble’s Slender Sword. It’s unique in its own way. It does not have anything unique going for it. If players try hard enough, they can even get their hands on it at the very start of the game, as nobles are roaming around the Lands Between very freely. All one has to do is just kill them again and again till they get the sword; after all, it has a drop rate of 0.5% when players have 100 discovery.

Noble’s Slender Sword Stats

Weapon Type: Straight Sword

Scaling: Strength E and Dexterity C

Base Attack Damage: 101

Weapon Skill: Square Off

As evident from the above stats, this weapon is very good for dexterity builds. Hence, it is suggested that if someone gets their hands on it at the start of the game, and if they are aiming for a dexterity build, they can start working on upgrading the Noble’s Slender Sword.

If one goes about selling this sword to one of the vendors in the game, it can go for 1,000 runes. This makes it one of those weapons that has a very high selling price. But who goes around trying to sell a sword with a 0.5 drop rate?

If anyone is looking for an easy-scaling but unique weapon to show off to their friends and competitors in PVP, they should start farming for Noble’s Slender Sword in Elden Ring. Just look for any wandering nobles in the open world and kill them. They usually roam around with those trolls pulling large carriages.

And to those trying to unlock this unique weapon, very good luck.

Players can increase their discovery in the Elden Ring too

Discovery in Elden Ring is a stat that determines the drop rate for players in a game. The more discovery they have, the easier it is for them to unlock unique weapons. For example, as mentioned above, Noble’s Slender Sword has a 0.5% drop rate for a player with 100 discovery.

To increase discovery players can do several things. First, they can invest points in Arcane. Discovery increases by 1 point with every Arcane level. Players can craft Silver-Pickled fowl foot to increase their discovery by 50 points for 3 minutes. Using the Silver Scarab Talisman increases a player’s discovery by 75 points for as long as they have it equipped.
