One of the colossal weapons in Elden Ring, not only appearance-wise but damage-wise too. Dual-wielding with the Inferno Crozier makes a hell of a strength-build. The weapon fire art represents the magical aspect of the weapon itself. In short, it is an amazing choice of weapon for those who are looking for high damage.

This twin blade causes the most havoc in the game than any other weapon. From its amazing gore design to its fascinating effects and abilities, it is a packed weapon, to say the least. It ranks higher than the best dual-wield weapons. In terms of pure class and power, this dual-wield set deserves to be on this list.

Location 

There is a village up north of the map known as the Windmill Village, which is part of the Dominula area. It is at the top of the map, so it shouldn’t be hard to find at all. After killing the Godskin Apostle there, he will drop the weapon for you.

Golden Halberds does Holy damage to its enemies as it is a Faith Weapon. The incredible power of the Golden Halberd can penetrate through most of the defenses of enemies like Tibia Mariners. The weapon art itself is enough reason to go through the entire trouble of getting it.

He attacks you with the Golden Halberd, which you should try to avoid, or else you can get one shot.

The Reduvia deserves their spot in this list because of their power output to most of the enemies in Elden Ring. There are bosses that can be killed off using two of the Reduvia Daggers or Blades. Reddit users have ranked the combination of weapons among the best two-handed weapons in Elden Ring.

There are so many weapons in Elden Ring that some amazing ones go unnoticed. Hoslow’s Petal Whips are prime examples of it, as most players are unaware of the potential they hold. Perhaps most whips are a little lower in stats when compared to swords and axes. Except, that is where Hoslow’s Petal Whips differ. These Whips are incredibly powerful and can tame beasts 10x your size.

Location 

In order to get both the Hoslow’s Petal Whips, you will have to defeat the Hoslow Brothers. Once you get to the final contract of the Volcano Manor missions, you have to defeat Juno Hoslow. He will be a really tough opponent to beat. The second brother, Diallos can be slaughtered in Jarburg to complete the dual-wield weapon set.

But it needs to be understood that the Raptor Talons are amazing best dual-wield weapons, specifically in close quarters. They are extremely agile and can be used to cut down the dragons in the game. There are upgrades that need to be in order for that to happen.

It is a pretty basic location, but the weapon itself can be hard to find. You can get it from the Altus Plateau’s Sage Cave. It resides near the Windham ruins on the map. You will not directly find the weapon when you reach there. It is secretly hidden in a chest. You can find the chest behind the walls of the cave.

Scavenger Curved Sword is an extremely unique-looking sword as its edge resembles shark teeth. Dual-wielding this sword can perhaps be a great option due to the fact that its applied Ashes Of War can prove to be really beneficial. Try and find out yourself too!

Location

It is situated in the mount of Gelmir on the Elden Ring map. A corpse will be wielding this weapon which you have to loot, and his location is near the first camp you see in Gelmir. Near the ladder, you will find the corpse, and it will most definitely have the blade you are looking for. 

My Personal Experience With Dual-Wield Weapons

Elden Ring Game Hours

I have tried dual-wielding so many weapons that it is hard to decide which is the best.

Dual-wielding Uchigatana with the Ash of War, Senpukku shreds the bosses that are not immune to blood loss. I tried the build as an experience to defeat Malenia, and before I knew it, the first phase was over. However, you will struggle so much with it on an opponent who is immune to blood loss, like Radagon and Elden Beast.

So, having alternatives in such cases is a good idea. The alternatives that I recommend are dual-wielding Godskin Peelers or Starscrouge Greatswords.

Godskin Peelers will do percentage-based damage, so there’s nothing to worry about going with the Peelers. On the other hand, I found Starscrouge Greatsowrd pretty good for building up Poise.

So these were the best of the best dual-wield weapons that you can pair up in Elden Ring. Most of these weapons are far too advanced to be yielded early on, so choose correctly.
