Elden Ring has something for everyone. It offers spells and arrows for long-range combat, spears for mid-range engagements, and swords for close-quarters fighting. But what if you want to get even closer? That's where the Fist weapon class comes into play.
The base game includes a wide variety of fist-based weapons, and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC adds even more. One weapon you should aim to acquire is the 
Madding Hand . It scales primarily with Faith and comes with a unique skill. Additional information regarding its location, features, and required attributes is provided below.

Where To Get Madding Hand In Elden Ring
The Madding Hand is not a difficult weapon to find, but you will still have to earn it in battle. This Fist armament is a weapon drop from the Madding Hand enemy. To find it, first fast travel to the Woodland Trail Site of Grace, located on the eastern side of the Abyssal Woods region.
If you haven’t unlocked that Site of Grace yet, don’t worry. Fast travel to the Abyssal Woods Site of Grace and head east for about 40 seconds on foot (Torrent won’t be accessible here). Turn right when you pass a massive tree, and the Woodland Trail Site of Grace should be in front of a nearby tree. Once you are at the Woodland Trail Site of Grace, follow the road south until you come across the aptly named Madding Hand enemy. Defeat him, and you will be rewarded with the weapon.

Madding Hand Overview & Requirements
Attributes Required | Level |
|---|---|
Strength | 8 |
Dexterity | 8 |
Intelligence | 13 |
Faith | 20 |
A glove stitched together from the flayed skin of the victims of a butcherous bloodbath. Afflicts target with madness. Raises attack power when madness is triggered in the vicinity. Forged of an unyielding, black impulse toward revenge fostered in those who were hunted down as heretics by their own brethren, these are the weapons of the utterly downtrodden.
The Madding Hand weapon won't leave you empty-handed, as it comes with a unique skill called the Madding Spear-Hand Strike. This skill transforms your hands into spears, allowing you to stab your enemies and inflict a significant amount of Madness status. The skill costs 13 FP to use and cannot be charged. The Madding Hand cannot be infused with an Ash of War, but you can upgrade it to +10 using Somber Smithing Stones.
