How to obtain the Staff of the Avatar boasting the Erdtree Slam in Elden Ring

A number of Colossal Weapons in Elden Ring boast a unique set of stats as well as skills for players to experiment with and adapt their playstyle.

Colossal Weapons, as the name suggests, are weapons with some of the highest damage outputs and are capable of taking enemies out in a matter of seconds. These weapons can make quick work of the hardest bosses in Elden Ring when used correctly. However, they are a bit difficult to master and come with a very high Strength requirement.

One such Colossal Weapon is the Staff of the Avatar, which comes with a 34 Strength, 8 Dexterity, and 24 Faith requirement. While the weapon’s basic attacks hit hard and are quite reliable, its weapon skill is what makes it attractive for players who have been investing heavily in both Strength and Faith.

Its Weapon Art, Erdtree Slam, launches the Tarnished in the air and brings the weapon crashing down to the ground ahead, with the resulting fall sending golden shockwaves in all directions. The Erdtree Slam is the most powerful Ground Slam skill in Elden Ring.

Here's how players can get their hands on this highly-coveted Colossal Weapon in the game.

The Staff of the Avatar is a bit complicated to find, as the weapon is obtained as a drop from the Erdtree Avatar in the Deeproot Depths. However, to reach the Deeproot Depths itself, there are two ways to go about doing it, and the recommended path is to follow Ranni, the Witch’s questline, for a bit and unlock the Eternal City of Nokron.

By doing so and exploring the area further, players will come across an optional boss area where they will be asked to face two gargoyles. After defeating them, players will be able to make their way to Deeproot Depths.
