The Spirit Sword is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. It belongs to Shadow of the Erdtree and waits in the Cerulean Coast.

The Spirit Sword is a sharp blade sculpted into a twisted shape that has seen many years of use in the gravesite and is said to serve as a medium for communion with spirits. It lies on a corpse in a graveyard northeast of the Cerulean Coast West grace, where demi-humans lie in ambush. It is a light curved sword dealing physical and magic damage with Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence scaling. Its unique skill, Rancor Slash, calls spirits toward enemies.

Skill

Rancor Slash costs 12 FP. The wielder lunges into two spinning upward slashes, each releasing a vengeful spirit skull that chases down foes. An additional input strikes the ground and sends out more homing skulls at the same FP cost again. The skulls deal magic damage and build up frostbite, and the sword swings themselves can be parried. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"Spin around, slashing foes while summoning vengeful spirits which chase down foes. Additional input allows for a follow-up attack."

Suggested Build

Mix fast curved sword slashes with Rancor Slash at range, backed by sorceries.

Stats	Dexterity 60, Intelligence 33, Vigor 50, Mind 20, Endurance 20, Strength 12
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Shard of Alexander, Magic Scorpion Charm
