The Death Knight's Twin Axes is an Axe in Elden Ring. It comes from the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

The Death Knight's Twin Axes are the golden war axes of the Death Knight, once the personal guard of Godwyn and protector of the Prince of Death's cadaver surrogate, and they are the reward for defeating the Death Knight in the Fog Rift Catacombs. They are a paired weapon, so one-handing swings a single axe while two-handing wields both with the standard paired axe moveset. Roughly a third of their damage is lightning, the power of the capital's ancient dragon cult, and they scale with Strength, Dexterity and Faith. The unique skill Blinkbolt: Twinaxe turns the wielder into a bolt of lightning that closes distance and can pass through attacks when used on anticipation, which suits an aggressive Strength and Faith build.

Skill

Blinkbolt: Twinaxe costs 8 / 10 FP. From a low stance, the wielder turns into a bolt of lightning and dashes straight ahead with brief invulnerability, dealing lightning damage on contact. Pressing strong attack at the end of the dash adds a lightning-charged spinning slash that covers a lot of ground and costs extra FP. Each piece of the Death Knight set boosts the damage. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"From a low stance, the body is transformed into a bolt of lightning and charges straight ahead at fulgurous speed. Strong attack performs a lightning-charged spinning slash."
