Elden Ring offers players the opportunity to play with a variety of weapons according to their preferred playstyle. This guide will cover the Meteoric Ore Blade melee weapon and tell you where to get it in Elden Ring.
Elden Ring Meteoric Ore Blade Location
Meteoric Ore Blade is a Katana weapon that deals Slash and Pierce damage to the enemies. The weapon will come in handy in the game’s early stages as it offers great physical damage and fast slashes.
The Katana is located somewhere in Caelid Waypoint Ruins hidden in a chest west of the Astray From Caelid Highway North Site of Grace. Head to the location marked on the map below, and you will be in an area with ruins.
Roam the ruins and look for a stairway that is leading downwards. When in the underground area, you will see a bunch of enemies that will absolutely annihilate you if you are in the early stages of the game.
Ignore the enemies and head towards the end of the room where the locked door is. Open the door, and you will see a chest inside. Loot the chest, and you will get the Meteoric Ore Blade.
Meteoric Ore Blade Stats and Upgrades
The Katana primary scales in Intelligence, Strength, and Dexterity, with great Physical damage for the game’s early stages. It also offers great mobility to the players for easy dodges.
Below are the Weapon Stats for Meteoric Ore Blade:
- Damage Type: Slash/Pierce
- Strength: 15
- Dexterity: 14
- Intelligence: 18
- Attack Power: 112 Physical/ 72 Magic
- FP Cost: 13
You can also upgrade the Katana using Somber Smithing Stones to increase the physical damage to 274 and the magic damage to 176.
Meteoric Ore Blade is equipped with a unique skill that allows you to strike the katana in the ground and create a gravity well that pushes enemies into it and damages them.
How Good is Meteoric Ore Blade?
The Meteoric Ore Blade is undoubtedly effective at dealing physical damage but when other options such as Moonveil and Uchigatana are available, it can be difficult to decide which to choose.
Meteoric Ore Blade provides stagger, combos, hitting through walls, and hyper armor for 13 FP. They are all good, but most of them are useless against bosses. However, this does not preclude you from using the Meteoric Ore Blade. This is entirely dependent on your build.
If you have a build that favors Strength and Intelligence, the Meteoric Ore Blade is an obvious choice because it scales well with them. Moonveil and Uchigatana, on the other hand, are better choices if you lean more towards dexterity.
It is also worth noting that Moonveil and Meteoric are weapons that complement the playstyle of a battle mage.
