The Dancing Blade of Ranah is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. It is one of the expansion's additions, found in the Land of Shadow.

The Dancing Blade of Ranah is a pair of decorative swords ablaze with impassioned red, made to be wielded in both hands by the dancers of Ranah. It drops from the Dancer of Ranah in the Southern Nameless Mausoleum on a secluded island west of the Cerulean Coast. As a paired weapon it equips a second blade in the off-hand when two-handed, and its moveset resembles the Flowing Curved Sword, with strong attacks that unleash a dancing assault. Its unique skill, Unending Dance, slashes repeatedly until stamina runs out, and both the skill and heavy attacks are enhanced by the Dancer's Set. It suits a fast Dexterity build.

Skill

Unending Dance costs 2 FP. The wielder spins into a furious dance of successive slashes with both blades. Holding the button sustains the dance for as long as stamina lasts, each swing costing a small amount of FP. Each piece of the Dancer's set raises its damage. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"A furious dance formed by a succession of slashing attacks. Hold the button down to sustain the dance for as long as stamina allows."
