Cane Sword is a storied straight sword in Elden Ring. It once belonged to a warrior who decided to let go of his violent path and repurposed it into a walking stick.
Reminiscent of Threaded Cane in Bloodborne, Cane Sword is stylish and fast. What it lacks in power, it makes up for it with speed. In this guide, we will tell you how to locate and use this sword.
Cane Sword Location
Cane Sword can be obtained from a dead body in the Royal Capital, Leyndell. To find this sword, you need to reach the West Capital Rampart site of grace.
To reach this grace, start from the Avenue Balcony site of grace and go down the stairs. Go forward and avoid the archer. Climb the ancient dragon’s corpse and drop to the left. Climb the stairs and keep going forward until you reach the West Capital Rampart.
From the West capital rampart Site of Grace, go forward and turn back to go down the stairs. When you get down, turn right and enter a narrow corridor.
Interact with the dead body at the end of the corridor to obtain the Cane Sword. You can also obtain this sword from the Ashen Capital after burning down the Erdtree.
