The Horned Warrior's Sword is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. It comes from Shadow of the Erdtree and is found in Belurat, Tower Settlement.

The Horned Warrior's Sword is the curved sword of the horned warriors, keepers of the tower, whose ornamental tangled horns let the blade serve as a medium for horn-calling. It drops from Horned Warriors in Belurat, Tower Settlement, with one easy to farm up the stairs from the Small Private Altar grace. As a paired weapon it equips a second blade in the off-hand when two-handed, and its own swings deal purely physical damage. Its unique skill, Horn Calling, slams the blade down to raise horns from the ground under enemies, dealing holy damage over a wide area with a quick cast. It suits a Dexterity and Faith build that wants strong area damage while exploring.

Skill

Horn Calling costs 17 FP. The wielder coats the blade in tangled horns and drives it into the ground, calling up a cluster of piercing horns beneath enemies at range. The horns deal holy damage that scales with Faith, giving the sword a ranged attack, while the opening stab itself can be parried at close range. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.

"Invokes tangled horns to cover the weapon's blade. Drive the weapon into the ground, calling up a cluster of piercing horns."
