In addition to dealing loads of damage from striking, the Bloodhound’s Fang is one of the Curved Greatswords in Elden Ring that’s bound to enhance your ability in a battle.

Bloodhound's Fang – Best Endgame Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring

Scaling makes the Bloodhound’s Fang an impressive weapon to battle with. The Curved Greatsword features C scaling in dexterity and D in strength, which means you can do more damage by increasing these two stats. However, you’d need 18 strength and 17 dexterity to be able to wield it straight from spawn.

The Bloodhound’s Fang has a unique weapon art called the Bloodhound’s Finesse, where you can perform a powerful aerial slice that can make bosses stagger and other lesser enemies drop dead. The most fantastic thing about the Bloodhound’s Fang curved greatsword is its massive bleed damage.

Many enemies in Elden are slow to bleed, and having a weapon with colossal bleed damage is a big bonus. So, once an enemy’s bleed meter is filled up, just know there’s massive damage around the corner ready to hit them. Like every other unique weapon in Elden Ring, you need the Smithing Stones to upgrade the Bloodhound’s Fang.

How to get Bloodhound's Fang

The Forlorn Hound Evergaol is the exact location where you’d find the Bloodhound’s Fang. It’s located in the south of the game’s starting area. A place called Limgrave, North of the Bridge of Sacrifice, near the Weeping Peninsula.

The final part of obtaining the Bloodhound’s Fang is to defeat the Bloodhound Knight Darriwil inside the Forlorn Hound Evergaol. The Bloodhound Knight Darriwil is an extremely fast boss in Elden ring. So, shields are practically useless against him.

Focus on your weapon instead, and time your roll-through accurately to dodge his rapid attacks and deal as much damage as possible. Fighting and defeating the Bloodhound Knight Darriwil is a tricky early-game boss fight that will give you a taste of more enormous challenges to come.
