Elden Ring BEST Frost Weapons And How To Get Them

Royal Greatsword is one of my personal favorite Colossal Sword in Elden Ring that can deal immense damage, further enhanced by its explosive Frost and Magic damage-causing Weapon Skill. Royal Greatsword’s damage potential is amplified at higher levels due to its scaling in multiple stats.

Its Weapon Skill, which involves a skyward leap followed by a frosty explosion, adds to its destructive prowess.

Helphen’s Steeple is a peculiar-looking weapon obtained from a Tibia Mariner south of Castle Sol and is great for a Strength/Intelligence hybrid build. Elden Ring’s list of best frost-infused weapons is incomplete without Helphen’s Steeple.

A unique Greatsword that scales predominantly with Dexterity, its Ghostflame Ignition skill scales exclusively with Intelligence. It is best used in Sorcery builds. The Death’s Poker greatsword stands out as the only weapon type that prioritizes scaling damage with Intelligence. This makes it uniquely well-suited for spellcasting builds like the Prophet, who want to incorporate melee combat. 

• Investing in Intelligence will boost the damage to not just sorceries but also Death’s Poker itself.
• Its unique weapon skill can be further enhanced through Intelligence as well.
• For any magic-focused character looking to supplement their ranged spells with physical strikes, the Death’s Poker and its magic-scaling melee attacks are an excellent fit.

I ended my first playthrough of Elden Ring with the Dark Moon Greatsword and it is one of my personal favorite weapons. It is the premier choice for Intelligence builds due to its high Intelligence scaling. The Moonlight Greatsword skill grants further Magic damage and Frost buildup.

While not the single most powerful weapon in Elden Ring, the Dark Moon Greatsword has the potential to scale up into a highly formidable armament for endgame content. Elden Ring best frost infused weapons list is incomplete without Dark Moon Greatsword.

• It boasts a balanced blend of medium range and strength when used for standard melee strikes.
• But the real potential lies in the Dark Moon Greatsword’s scaling.
• It prioritizes Intelligence foremost, followed by Dexterity and Strength.
• By investing in these attributes and complementing the sword with equipment and gear that amplifies them, the Dark Moon Greatsword can transform into a powerhouse.
