Poisoned Hand is a new fist weapon in Elden Ring that was introduced with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. A gloved made by stitching the skins of the victims of a butcherous bloodbath, this weapon inflicts upon its enemies.
Poisoned Hand is considered a weapon for the downtrodden who are hellbent on revenge. In this guide, we will tell you how to obtain this fist and how you can use it to craft an amazing Arcane-based build in Elden Ring.
Poisoned Hand Location in Elden Ring
Poisoned Hand in Elden Ring can be obtained from the sewer area of the Belurat Tower legacy dungeon, which can be found in the Gravesite Plain.
However, to reach the sewer area of the Belurat Tower, you must find the Well Depths Key first. To find this key, start from the Small Private Altar site of grace.
Leave the room, climb the stairs, and go left. Beware of the Horned Warrior in the area. Climb another set of stairs and immediately turn right.
Follow the path and turn left until you come across a small poisonous marsh. Turn left once more and go to the room to the right.
Climb the ladder and go outside. Turn left and instead of going down the stairs, hug the left wall. Jump on the rampart and use it to reach the balcony to the left.
Go through the door and interact with the item to collect the Well Depths Key.
Now, fast travel to the Belurat Tower Settlement site of grace. Turn back and climb the stairs to reach a fountain.
Turn right from there to climb another set of stairs. Immediately turn to the right at the end of the stairs and then take the first left to notice a ladder going down into a well.
Drop and kill the enemy in front of you. Use the Well Depths Key to open the door to reach the sewer level of Belurat Tower Settlement.
The sewer area is full of poison marsh and man-flies’ enemies. Run across the area and use Neutralizing Blouses to stop poison build-up. Once you reach the other end of the area, interact with a corpse near a tower to collect the Poison Hand weapon in Elden Ring.
