The Cinquedea is a Dagger in Elden Ring. The class's hardest hit.

When to Use It

---

Mid game. It is found around Greyoll's Dragonbarrow, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.

Why Players Pick It

---

• The catch is E Dexterity base and a 10 Str / 10 Dex requirement, it is the Strength dagger, not the Dex one.

Upgrades

---

• Upgrades with ordinary Smithing Stones to +25.
• Can be buffed with a grease or a spell, which a Somber weapon cannot.

Build

---

It scales Str D, Dex E, so Str is where the levels go.

• Requires Str 10, Dex 10.
• Takes any Ash of War and any affinity, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are levelling.

Notes

---

• Short sword given to high ranking clergymen of Farum Azula. Raises potency of bestial incantations.
• The design celebrates a beast's five fingers, symbolic of the intelligence once granted upon their kind.

Where to Find

---

• Location: Bestial Sanctum (exterior).
• The is looted from a mummified Beastman behind the Bestial Sanctum in Greyoll's Dragonbarrow. # Descend onto roots from the north-facing cliff behind the Bestial Sanctum, located on the west side of the building. # Carefully jump from the roots onto the domes of the pillars, before carefully dropping along the pillar to the row of pit graves. # Travel down to the third row, and reach fhe platform with four chained Beastmen.
• Rainbow Stones can be used to determine the safety of a fall.
• Found on the same level as the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman.
