Celebrant's Cleaver is an Axe in Elden Ring. It is found in the Altus Plateau, around the middle of a run.

The Celebrant's Cleaver is a bone cleaver decorated with many-colored fabrics, a ceremonial tool used by the dancers during the festivities of Dominula, Windmill Village, and it drops rarely from the celebrants there. Its light attacks match the Club, while its strong attack is a special running chop that carries the user forward with the cleaver raised, a move it shares with the Iron Cleaver. Every successful hit grants 10 runes, a value that does not grow with upgrades or charged attacks. It scales with Strength and Dexterity at D, weighs 4.5 and accepts Ashes of War, which makes it a favored rune farming weapon.

Skill

Wild Strikes costs 2 / 10 / 15 FP. The wielder swings the weapon wildly back and forth, and holding the button keeps the swings going while spending a little FP with each one. A normal attack follow-up ends in a wide sweeping blow, while a strong attack follow-up ends in a heavy overhead slam. Every swing carries the weapon's full status buildup, so it builds effects quickly on weapons such as the Morning Star, though the swings can be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Swing armament with wild abandon. Hold to continue swinging. Can be followed up with a normal or strong attack."

Suggested Build

Used as a rune farming weapon that lands many quick hits, with a status affinity or mist Ash of War for extra damage. Wild Strikes turns each hold of the skill into a stream of hits, and every hit pays out runes.

Stats	Strength to 60, then 80, Vigor 50 to 60, Endurance 30 to 40, Mind about 10, Dexterity at its requirement of 8
Affinity	Heavy to push its main Strength scaling, or Blood for bleed buildup.
Ash of War	Wild Strikes, the default skill, for a continuous chain of hits; Chilling Mist or Poisonous Mist add frost or poison.
Talismans	Gold Scarab, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Green Turtle Talisman, Shard of Alexander
Pairs With	Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot

Notes

"Cleaver decorated with many-colored fabrics. Ceremonial tool used by dancers during the festivities of Dominula, Windmill Village. Crafted from human bone. Grants trace amounts of runes upon landing attacks."
