Elden Ring has never been solely about swords and shields. The game has always offered a plethora of weapon types that can dramatically change your playstyle.

Locating Curseblade's Cirque is as easy as taking a walk in the park, but acquiring it can be challenging. It is a loot drop from the very first enemy you will encounter in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

When you reach the Gravesite Plains, head northeast, and you should see an enemy standing menacingly on top of an arched ruin. Approach him, and he will attack you with his blades. Defeating him will give players a chance to receive the weapon.

Weapon of the masked Curseblades. Circular backhand blade with wave-like cutting edges, sharpened into points that incite blood loss. Long ago, this was employed by the ascetics who strove to become tutelary deities as a ritualistic object in their self-flagellating dances.

Curseblade's Cirque is a Backhand Blade that features the unique skill called Deadly Dance. No, you won’t be dancing when you use it, but you will be extremely deadly when engaging your opponents. When activated, the Tarnished equips the blade in both hands and performs a spinning attack that damages nearby enemies. The main attack can be followed by a strong axe kick for additional damage. The weapon also causes blood loss buildup right out of the box.

Curseblade's Cirque cannot be infused with an Ash of War, but that doesn’t mean you can’t improve the weapon. It can be upgraded up to +10 using Somber Smithing Stones.
