Serpent-God's Curved Sword is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. It is picked up mid-game, in Liurnia of the Lakes.

The Serpent-God's Curved Sword is fashioned in the image of an ancient serpent deity and served a forgotten religion on Mt. Gelmir, where it was used to offer up sacrifices. It sits behind a large Land Octopus in the Ruin-Strewn Precipice. It restores HP whenever an enemy dies while it is equipped, even when held in the off-hand and unused, and the effect stacks with other on-kill healing such as Taker's Cameo. It scales mainly with Strength and accepts Ashes of War. It suits any build that wants passive healing from an off-hand weapon, especially a Strength 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."

Suggested Build

Carry it in the off-hand for on-kill healing, or wield it as a Strength-leaning curved sword with a status Ash of War.

Stats	Strength 60 to 80, Vigor 50, Endurance 24 to 40, Mind 10 to 20, Dexterity 18
Affinity	Heavy for a Strength build, matching its D Strength and E Dexterity scaling.
Ash of War	Seppuku, Chilling Mist or Poisonous Mist for extra status damage.
Talismans	Taker's Cameo, Starscourge Heirloom
Pairs With	Blasphemous Blade

Notes

"Curved sword fashioned in the image of an ancient serpent deity and tool of a forgotten religion practiced on Mt. Gelmir. Formerly used to offer up sacrifices, this sword restores HP upon slaying an enemy."
