Ring, allowing you to craft some fresh new builds for your character.<\/p>\n<p>One weapon in particular that most Tarnished are after is the Backhand Blade due to its unique moveset and attack speed.<\/p>\n<p>However, like most good items in Elden Ring, the Backhand Blade isn\u2019t given to you, it must be found.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how to get the Backhand Blade in Shadow of the Erdtree, with its precise location on the map.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to find Backhand Blade in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree<\/h2>\n<p>Thankfully, if you want to pick up the Backhand Blade early in the DLC, you\u2019ll be pleased to know that you won\u2019t have to travel too far.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because it is situated within the starting area of Gravesite Plain, north (and a tiny little bit east) of the Scorched Ruins Site of Grace.<\/p>\n<p>Upon moving north of the Grace, you should be able to see a little structure with four large pillars surrounding a stone coffin within.<\/p>\n<p>Here, there should be a chest that you can loot, containing what you\u2019re after \u2013 the Backhand Blade.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full

equipped, you\u2019ll soon see that it offers something a little different than most of your arsenal thanks to its speed and combos.<\/p>\n<p>Its Blind Spot skill is particularly useful since it allows you to almost move like an assassin, gliding to either the right or the left, and quickly striking, hopefully allowing for a free hit on your foe.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the weapon works best in Dexterity builds, and if you upgrade it to its max, its Dex scaling moves into S tier, making it even more deadly.<\/p>\n<p>For more info on Shadow of the Erdtree, take a look at our guides on the new
