The Caestus is a Fist in Elden Ring.
When to Use It
Early game. It is found around Stormveil Castle, in the opening stretch of a run, so it is one of the first real upgrades you can carry.
Upgrades
Ordinary Smithing Stones carry it all the way to +25, and because it is not a Somber weapon it will also hold a grease or a weapon buff, which is a damage source the unique blades simply do not have.
Build
Its scaling runs Str at D and Dex at D, so Str and Dex are the stats worth levelling, and you need Str 8 and Dex 8 before you can lift it. Any Ash of War and any affinity will sit on it, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are already levelling.
Notes
A weapon built for striking with the fists, made of rough leather inlaid with iron rivets. Fist weapons come in pairs, and two-handling this weapon will equip it to both hands.
How to Get Caestus Guide
- Sold by Gatekeeper Gostoc in Stormveil Castle, or by the Twin Maiden Husks after giving them Gostoc's Bell Bearing, for 800 runes.
