Bloodfiend's Arm is a Colossal Weapon in Elden Ring. It is part of Shadow of the Erdtree, found in Gravesite Plain.

The Bloodfiend's Arm is a weapon of the bloodfiends, an arm pulled from the corpse of one of their kin and wielded as a makeshift weapon, sanctified by a blood ritual so that it sprays the blood stored within on strong attacks. It is a guaranteed one-time drop from a bloodfiend group in Prospect Town on the Gravesite Plain. Its strong attacks are a slow slam like the Great Club's, and the blood splash adds fire damage, extra stance damage and whatever status the weapon carries, though not on running or jumping strong attacks. It accepts Ashes of War, and with a Blood infusion its buildup becomes extremely high, which makes it a strong stance breaker for bosses.

Stats

Bloodfiend's Arm is the Arcane answer among colossal weapons, reaching S Arcane on an Occult affinity at max upgrade, the only S in the class. Its heavy attacks release a damaging blood splash that also carries the weapon's status and adds stance damage, enough to break a heavy boss such as Commander Gaius in two charged attacks.

How to Get Bloodfiend's Arm Guide

Guaranteed drop from a Bloodfiend wielding one in the ruins of Prospect Town on the western cliffs of Gravesite Plain.
The ruins are reached by going east from the Main Gate Cross Site of Grace before Belurat, Tower Settlement and then turning south along the cliff wall before going through the archway.

Skill

Endure costs 9 FP. The wielder braces in an anchored stance that for three seconds raises damage negation by 45 percent and greatly boosts poise, so most attacks fail to stagger. Some light one-handed attacks even bounce off, though headshots and launching attacks can still interrupt the wielder. Heavy weapons take noticeably longer to enter the stance. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Assume an anchored stance to brace for incoming attacks, briefly boosting poise. Damage taken while using this skill is reduced."

Suggested Build

A two-handed Strength and Arcane build that repeats charged strong attacks for blood splashes, bleed procs and stance breaks.

Stats	Arcane 50, Strength 30, at least 19 to wield it two-handed, Vigor 60, Endurance 35 to 36, Faith 25 for buffs, Dexterity at its requirement of 11, Mind at its base
Affinity	Blood, which adds bleed to the splash and makes Arcane its main damage stat.
Ash of War	Cragblade for a temporary physical and stance damage boost, or Royal Knight's Resolve before a charged strong attack.
Talismans	Lord of Blood's Exultation, Two-Handed Sword Talisman, Axe Talisman, Blade of Mercy
Pairs With	White Mask, Uchigatana, Finger Seal

Notes

"Weapon used by the bloodfiends. An arm pulled from the corpse of one of their kin, and wielded as a makeshift weapon. Having been sanctified by a blood ritual, this armament is capable of spraying blood stored within when executing a strong attack."
