The Whip is a Whip in Elden Ring. It can be picked up early in a run.

The Whip is a plain leather whip, originally an instrument of pain rather than a weapon, whose supple lashes cannot be parried but can never land critical hits. It lies on a corpse in the Rampart Gaol at Castle Morne on the Weeping Peninsula, reached by dropping onto wooden beams in a room with rats and a Misbegotten. It has the long reach of its class and deals strike damage, which makes it useful early against Miners and skeletons. It weighs only 2 and asks for 8 Strength and 14 Dexterity. It suits a Dexterity character early in the game, and it can serve in the off hand or power-stanced.

How to Get Whip Guide

Skill

Kick costs 0 FP. The wielder plants a high front kick that pushes the enemy back and deals enormous stamina damage to anyone guarding, breaking the guard of nearly any shield. The kick itself deals little damage and costs no FP. The Divine Bird Warrior Greaves boost it. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Push an enemy back with a high kick. Effective against enemies who are guarding, and can break a foe's stance. Sometimes a simple tool is the most effective."

Suggested Build

Played at whip range for early strike damage against armored and skeletal foes, either alone or power-stanced for continuous attacks.

Stats	Dexterity to 60, then 80, Vigor 50, Mind 20, Endurance 24, Strength 8 to 18
Affinity	Keen for Dexterity or Lightning for Dexterity-scaling lightning damage.
Ash of War	Kick, its default, to open a blocking enemy, or Raptor of the Mists to set up power-stanced jumping attacks.
Talismans	Winged Sword Insignia, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Claw Talisman

Notes

"A leather whip. Not originally used for combat, but as an instrument of pain. Through its supple attacks cannot be thwarted by parrying or even guarding, it is incapable of dealing critical hits."
