The Pata is a Fist in Elden Ring. It belongs to Shadow of the Erdtree and waits in the Realm of Shadow.

The Pata is a linear, double-sided blade fixed to a substantial guard, wielded by the Oathseeker Knights. It lies on a corpse on the cliff behind the Church of Benediction. It is a paired fist that can be swung like a fist or used like a straight sword, and it is the longest weapon in its class by a wide margin. Its default skill, Impaling Thrust, pierces guards but cannot normally go on fists, so infusing it removes the skill. It suits a Strength and Dexterity character who wants fist speed with more reach.

Skill

Impaling Thrust costs 9 FP. The wielder gathers power, then lunges forward into a strong piercing thrust that punches through an enemy's guard. Most of the damage gets past a raised shield, which makes it a reliable answer to turtling enemies and players. The thrust can be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Skill that lets piercing armaments overcome enemy shields. Build power, then lunge forward for a strong thrust that pierces an enemy's guard."

Critical Damage

Its critical rating is 110, above the 100 most of its class carries, so backstabs and ripostes land noticeably harder. Nothing else in its class has a higher one.

Suggested Build

Dual wield it for fast, long-reaching strings and use Impaling Thrust to break guards and stances.

Stats Strength 55, Dexterity 55, Vigor 40, Endurance 24, Mind 10
Affinity Quality for even Strength and Dexterity scaling; any infusion removes Impaling Thrust.
Ash of War Impaling Thrust, its default skill, to pierce shields and break stances.
Talismans Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Millicent's Prosthesis, Spear Talisman

Notes

"A weapon comprised of a linear, double-sided blade attached to a substantial guard. Wielded by the Oathseeker Knights. This versatile armament can be swung about like a fist or used in the manner of a straight sword."
