Serpent-God’s Curved Sword is one of the most underrated Strength/Dexterity weapons in Elden Ring. Not only does it deal massive damage with the optimal build, but it also restores your health per kill.
Hidden in a secret area behind one of the worst enemies Elden Ring has to offer, Serpent-God’s Curved Sword is a bit difficult to find. In this guide, we will help you locate this Curved Sword and how to use the same area to easily reach the Altus Plateau.
Serpent-God’s Curved Sword Location
Serpent-God’s Curved Sword can be found from a dead body inside Ruin-Strewn Precipice. To reach this area, start from Ravine Veiled Village in the northernmost part of Liurnia of the Lakes. This village is well hidden at the end of a massive ravine.
Cross the village to find the entrance into the Ruin-Strewn Precipice. Keep going forward and climb three stairs in the process. You will come across a lot of bats.
As soon as you climb the third ladder, turn around and go right to find the fourth stair. Climb it to reach a higher platform with a large Land Octopus enemy.
This enemy is extremely imposing and has a massive health pool. Use sorceries to kill it from afar. You can also run past it to loot Serpent-God’s Curved Sword from the dead body.

Serpent-God’s Curved Sword Best Build

Use Talismans like Lord of Blood’s Exultation and Valkyrie Prosthesis to increase your damage per hit. White Face Mask to increase attack power by 20% when you induce bleeding in your enemies.
Invest heavily in Strength (55), Arcane (45), Vigor (50), and Endurance (45). No shield, as you will recover most health by killing enemies. This build is more than enough to help you breeze through NG+.
