Elden Ring: Where to find the Zweihander

Combat is another area where Elden Ring deviates from the conventional Soulsborne formula. Unlike past FromSoftware games, which required players to learn and adhere to their hallmark combat rules, Elden Ring allows players to battle any way they wish.

Whether you love launching showy spells or swinging brutish physical weapons around, there is enough diversity in the game to satisfy your needs. Those who enjoy the latter may be interested in learning where the Zweihander may be found in Elden Ring.

The Zweihander is a large, obnoxious sword that takes its name from the real-life Zweihänder, a weapon used by some European troops in the Late Middle Ages. Elden Ring's rendition is a two-handed weapon that requires 19 STR and 10 DEX to wield. It has a basic move set, but it's cool enough to justify utilizing it alongside more fascinating weapons or in Fashion Souls.

The Zweihander can be purchased from the Isolated Merchant quite early on in Elden Ring. While in Limgrave, ride southwest towards Castle Morne and continue until you reach the coast; the Isolate Merchant's Shack should be easy to spot there. The Zweihander will set you back at 3,500 Runes.
