The Shadow Sunflower Blossom is a Colossal Weapon in Elden Ring. It is part of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

The Shadow Sunflower Blossom is the head of a monstrous shadow sunflower, a manifestation of the Scadutree, though it might be just a flower wielded as a weapon. It is received by trading the Remembrance of the Shadow Sunflower, from the Scadutree Avatar, with Finger Reader Enia. It deals Strike damage with equal physical and holy damage and has an overhead slam heavy attack like the Great Club and Gazing Finger. Its unique skill is Shadow Sunflower Headbutt. It suits a Strength and Faith build that leans hard into holy damage.

Skill

---

Shadow Sunflower Headbutt costs 16 / 8 / 8 FP. The wielder raises the great sunflower and slams its blossom down, sending out a golden shockwave that flattens foes. Repeated inputs add two quick slams and then a final mighty slam, each with its own shockwave and each costing more FP. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.

"Slam down the blossom of a large shadow sunflower, sending out a shockwave that flattens foes. Repeated inputs allow for up to two follow-up attacks."

Notes

---

"The head of a monstrous shadow sunflower manifestation of the Scadutree. Then again, it might be just a flower, wielded as a weapon. Much like the Scadutree itself in appearance, a second stalk winds tightly around the first, almost as if in a tender embrace."
