Hoslow's Petal Whip is a Whip in Elden Ring. It has the highest physical attack of any whip in the game. It only turns up late in a run, in the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Hoslow's Petal Whip is a metal whip of razor-sharp chain-link blades shaped like flower petals, a work of art handed down through the illustrious House Hoslow, whose tale is told in blood. It drops from Juno Hoslow when he is invaded near the Shack of the Lofty in the Mountaintops of the Giants as the final Volcano Manor contract, and also from Diallos Hoslow, so two can be obtained in one playthrough. It has the long reach of a whip and builds heavy blood loss, and it deals extra damage whenever it triggers hemorrhage even without a Blood affinity. Like all whips it cannot be parried and cannot perform critical attacks. It suits a Dexterity or Arcane bleed character, and a pair power-stanced is a classic bleed setup.

Stats

Hoslow's Petal Whip is the hardest hitting whip, 110 physical at base and 276 at max upgrade, with 55 blood loss buildup. It also deals bonus damage when hemorrhage procs without needing a Blood infusion, so a Standard infusion keeps its higher raw damage and still gets the proc bonus. Two copies can be collected in one playthrough, which opens up the powerstanced bleed-whip build.

Skill

Kick costs 0 FP. The wielder plants a high front kick that pushes the enemy back and deals enormous stamina damage to anyone guarding, breaking the guard of nearly any shield. The kick itself deals little damage and costs no FP. The Divine Bird Warrior Greaves boost it. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Push an enemy back with a high kick. Effective against enemies who are guarding, and can break a foe's stance. Sometimes a simple tool is the most effective."

Suggested Build

Played power-stanced with a second copy, using the long reach and the strong jumping dual attack to stack blood loss quickly, even on phantom hits in PvP.

Stats	Arcane to 60, Dexterity 39, Vigor 50, Mind 20, Endurance 22, Strength 18
Affinity	Occult for an Arcane build, where Arcane raises its blood loss buildup quickly, especially power-stanced.
Ash of War	Raptor of the Mists to set up the strong power-stanced jumping attack, or Divine Beast Frost Stomp or The Poison Flower Blooms Twice to add another status.
Talismans	Lord of Blood's Exultation, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Claw Talisman
Pairs With	Hoslow's Petal Whip

Notes

"Metal whip formed of razor-sharp chain-link blades that have the appearance of flower petals. This work of art is handed down through the generations of the illustrious House Hoslow. High dexterity is required to wield this weapon, but it excels at inflicting devastating blood loss. 'The tale of House Hoslow is told in blood.'"
