Scavenger's Curved Sword is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. It is found on Mt. Gelmir, around the middle of a run.

The Scavenger's Curved Sword is notched like shark's teeth, carried by corpse pillagers who prowl old battlefields, its blade tacky with blood and covered in hefty nicks. It is looted from a corpse below where a Grafted Scion ambushes on the path up Mt. Gelmir, and only one exists per playthrough. It is the only curved sword in the base game with innate blood loss buildup, and when power-stanced its running and jumping attacks can hit up to four times. Fast, short-ranged attacks make it easy to trigger multi-hit buffs. It suits a Dexterity or Arcane bleed build.

Skill

Spinning Slash costs 6 / 12 FP. The wielder spins the whole body to slash foes in a wide circle, and an additional input adds two more spins. Small weapons spin quickly, while greatswords, spears, halberds and other large weapons use a slower, sweeping version. The skill cannot be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Skill favored by dexterous warriors. Slash foes as your body spins. Additional input allows for a follow-up attack."

Notes

"Unique curved sword, notched like shark's teeth. Weapon carried by corpse pillagers who prowl the sites of old battles. The blade is tacky with blood and covered in hefty nicks, making it totally uneven. Life can be sinister indeed."
