Elden Ring: How to Get Eclipse Shotel (Curved Sword)

gamerant.com:

There are a lot of painful status effects that players must endure when making their way through Elden Ring. Whether it's from bosses, field enemies, or other players, there are a plethora of debuffs that can harm, stun, and outright kill the player if they're stacked high enough. One great example of this is the Death ailment which will instantly kill the player if it stacks too high and breaks through their defenses.

Elden Ring: How to Get Giant Crusher (Colossal Hammer)

There's a spell, incantation, and primary weapon that can stack the death ailment on opponents, so players that want to wield the powerful effect have some options. The weapon, the Eclipse Shotel, is one of the best choices as it has the capacity to stack the death effect quickly and efficiently on opponents thanks to its weapon skill, Death Flare. Here's where players can find the Eclipse Shotel curved sword in Elden Ring if they want to try it for themselves.

The Eclipse Shotel isn't found until rather late in the game, as it's hidden high in the Mountaintops of the Giants, far North of where players start their journey. It's a long trek to make it to the snowy mountains, as players will need to first make their way to Altus Plateau, then trek through Leyndell, Royal Capital. Just making it to Altus Plateau can be tough enough in the early game, as players need to unlock and use the Grand Lift of Dectus (or fight Magma Wyrm Makar to sneak in the back). Leyndell, Royal Capital is supremely punishing the first time players make their way through its winding streets, with tough enemies and painful bosses. Eventually, players can make their way to an elevator in the city, which will lift them up into the Forbidden Passage and then to the Grand Lift of Rold.
