Elden Ring has well over 300 weapons categorized by weapon and damage types. Some of these are incredibly rare due to their low drop rates. Finding all the rarest weapons in Elden Ring means investing many gameplay hours. Most of them are also not known to have good enough stats. You can always find better weapons with higher drop rates.
However, to complete your weapon collection, here are the rarest weapons you can get in Elden Ring. We also give you the details and what stats you get from using them.

The Noble Slender Sword is a highly sought-after weapon that can be dropped by any wandering Noble wielding the sword. Although many of these enemies are in Limgrave, the drop rate is extremely low. On average, you’d have to do a farming run 200 times to get this weapon to drop once.
The most efficient way to farm for this weapon is to head to the Waypoint Ruin Seller, where Sorcerer Sellen is located. Upon exiting the ruins, you’ll encounter a convoy of Giants pulling a carriage, accompanied by several wandering Nobles, some of whom hold the Noble Slender Sword.
This straight sword scales with strength (E) and Dexterity (C). It is one of the powerful swords with a longsword moveset.
4. Magma Blades

The Magma Blades is one the weapons that can only be dropped by two specific enemies: the Man-Serpent residing deep in the Volcano Manor. To farm for this weapon, take down the Noble Skin boss in the area to gain access to the Temple of Eiglay Site of Grace. Then, use the elevator outside the Site of Grace to reach the area where the Man Serpents are located.
The Magma Blades is another rare weapon. Its ash of war unleashes a pure magma that burns enemies and stuns them. This curved sword scales primarily with Strength (D) and Faith (D) and has reduced scaling with Dexterity (D).
3. Vulgar Militia Saw

The Vulgar Militia Saw is a relatively rare halberd, with a 2-4% chance of dropping from the Militia enemies outside the Bestial Sanctum. This saw is overpowered, with a high bleed build-up and a long range. It is a valuable addition to any player’s collection.
The Vulgar Militia Saw belongs to the Halberd family in Elden Ring and scales with Strength and Dexterity. If you’re looking for a Blood Loss buildup, this is an ideal choice. It can be buffed and infused with Ashes of War, which is a plus.
2. Halo Scythe

Phy | 118 | Phys | 40 |
Mag | 0 | Mag | 29 |
Fire | 0 | Fire | 29 |
Light | 0 | Light | 29 |
Holy | 76 | Holy | 42 |
Crit | 100 | Crit | 31 |
The Clean Rot Knights drop the Halo Scythe around the Commander O’Neil Site of Grace in the heart of Aeonia. The area has multiple Clean Rot Knights, but the drop rate is still extremely low. Be prepared for a lengthy farming process, as these enemies can drop other items instead of the Halo Scythe.
The Halo Scythe belongs to the family of reapers that scales with Strength and Dexterity. The halo deals with holy damage and causes blood loss, but it cannot be buffed or infused with Ashes of War.
1. Monk’s Flameblade

Phy | 134 | Phys | 61 |
Mag | 0 | Mag | 33 |
Fire | 0 | Fire | 33 |

The Monk’s Flame Blade is the rarest of the weapons on this list, dropped by a single fire monk in Elden Ring. This enemy can be found in the Giant Conquering Hero Grave, in a corridor past the golden light area where the flame turret is located. The farming process can be tedious, as you’ll need to defeat the monk repeatedly, but the reward is well worth the effort.
Monk’s Flameblade is a Curved Greatsword that scales with Strength and Dexterity. You can infuse this weapon with Ashes of War to boost its speed, range, recovery time, and guard counter speed.
