Many weapons in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree deal a status effect build-up on top of doing base damage when attacking enemies. Status effects range in how effective they are and their build-up varies based on the enemy's resistance to that effect.

Shadow Of The Erdtree adds a new status effect known as Eternal Sleep, which is what makes the Velvet Sword of St. Trina so unique. This weapon can be found after breaking the seal when approaching the Shadow Keep, with most players needing to try this weapon out at least once.

Where To Find The Velvet Sword Of St. Trina In Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree

The Velvet Sword Of St. Trina is found in the Stone Coffin Fissure in the southern section of the map, and will first require the Great Rune to be broken. From here, traverse the Stone Coffin Fissure until you reach the Fissure Cross Site of Grace towards the end. At this Site of Grace, look northwest and begin approaching the edge of the cliff.

Look over the edge to find a stone platform to jump down to. There should be a mix of rocks and stones that players can continue to drop down to, with each drop not dealing any fall damage despite how high up it may seem. On the lowest level, proceed east under the fallen stone pillar and take the path to the left, where three slimes will drop from the ceiling. Behind those slimes will be a dead body that can be looted to obtain the Velvet Sword Of St. Trina.

The biggest and only important selling point for this weapon is the Eternal Sleep buildup. Just as the name implies, this status effect puts basic enemies to sleep, never to wake up again, no matter how long or how many hits they take. This weapon can still put bosses or elite enemies to sleep, but the results will be closer to that of the regular sleep status effect.

Resting at a site of grace will reset all enemies including those affected by Eternal Sleep.

This is a unique weapon with its own skill, Mists of Eternal Sleep. This skill not only deals with a lot of Eternal Sleep build-up but also leaves the sword coated in purple mist. The mist will last for a short time and deal extra Eternal Sleep build-up on enemies hit.
