The Serpent-God's Curved Sword is an interesting weapon in Elden Ring that restores HP when an enemy is slain. Furthermore, that HP is restored so long as the sword is equipped, even if it never comes into contact with the dispatched foe. This makes Elden Ring's Serpent-God's Curved Sword a great off-hand option for increasing survivability when clearing through levels, and this guide details exactly where the armament comes from.
Elden Ring: Serpent-God's Curved Sword Location
Players that would like to try out the Serpent-God's Curved Sword should turn their attention to Elden Ring's Ruin-Strewn Precipice, a location at the border between Liurnia and the Altus Plateau. Here is a step-by-step walkthrough of exactly how to reach the Ruin-Strewn Precipice Site of Grace, for those players that have never visited it, and the video that is below demonstrates the route:
- Ride to the northeast corner of Liurnia's large lake to access the Ravine Site of Grace.
- Continue northeast up the corridor to reach a wooden platform with the Ravine-Veiled Village Site of Grace.
- Climb the ladder next to this Elden Ring Site of Grace and follow the path, climbing a couple of additional ladders and entering a mine.
- Once inside the mine, turn left and climb the ladder that is ahead.
- Take a right in the room that is beyond the ladder and ride the lift up.
- Follow the path to exit the mine and reach the Ruin-Strewn Precipice Site of Grace.
The route that Elden Ring players can take from the Ruin-Strewn Precipice Site of Grace to the Serpent-God's Curved Sword can also be a bit complex, and another step-by-step walkthrough may be in order. Here is a such walkthrough, and again the route can be seen in the video that is below:
- Pull the lever that is next to the Site of Grace and ride the lift up.
- Ascend the two flights of stairs at the top of the lift and head northwest to reach a ladder to be climbed.
- Continue west at the top of this ladder, passing between some stone columns to reach another ladder that is on a wooden platform.
- Follow the wooden slats forward and take a left at the cliff-face to reach yet another ladder.
- Turn right at the top of the ladder and head west to arrive at one final ladder. Notably, players should hear Elden Ring's Song of Lament from this position.
- Cross the wood-slat bridge at the top, jump to the roof with the Land Octopuses, and grab the Serpent-God's Curved Sword from the corpse behind the largest enemy.
With the location of the Serpent-God's Curved Sword established, a few final words on the weapon's functionality may be worthwhile. Primarily, it is important to note that wielding two of these swords simultaneously will not double the HP restoration that is provided. That said, players can couple the Serpent-God's Curved Sword with the Taker's Cameo talisman and Rykrd's Great Rune in Elden Ring to create a build that emphasizes health recovery.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S.
