Fist-based weapons in Elden Ring aren’t for everyone, as they require getting up close and personal with enemies, putting you at risk of being overwhelmed. However, if you're determined to wield such weapons, the Pata Fist Weapon is worth trying out.

Acquiring the Pata Fist weapon doesn't require grinding out an enemy type or completing a complex puzzle. All you have to do is a bit of traversal and parkour, and you'll have the weapon in no time.

First, fast travel to the Cliffroad Terminus Site of Grace, located above Prospect Town where you can find some other strong weapons if you are interested. Once at the Site of Grace, follow the road leading southeast and climb the mountain via Torrent, as doing so on foot will be unnecessarily difficult. Proceed to the very end, where you'll notice a church below. Carefully descend using Torrent, and use the broken walls to mitigate any fall damage.

At the bottom, look to the northeast and enter through the door. Pay attention to the cliff where you should see a bright light atop a corpse, indicating loot. Pillage the remains to acquire the Pata Fist Weapon. You will also receive the Oathseeker Knight Set along with it.

A weapon comprised of a linear, double-sided blade attached to a substantial guard. Wielded by the Oathseeker Knights. This versatile armament can be swung about like a fist or used in the manner of a straight sword.

The Pata Fist Weapon primarily scales with Strength and Dexterity and features the Ash of War: Impaling Thrust skill. This skill enables the Tarnished to forcefully thrust the sword forward, capable of countering enemy shields and piercing through their guard. While not unique, this skill is also available in several other weapons such as the Partisan, Katar, and more. Furthermore, it can be swapped for a different skill using Ashes of War. Additionally, it can be upgraded up to +25 using Smithing Stones.
