Great Knife is a dagger found in Elden Ring.
Description[]
Acquisition[]
- Starting equipment for the Bandit class.
- 2% drop chance from Small Demi-Humans.
- The earliest farming spot is just inside Lakeside Crystal Cave, where once can be found hiding inside of a bush next to another, regular Demi-Human.
- The most efficient farming spot is just north of the Craftsman's Shack Site of Grace on Mt. Gelmir, where four of them are hiding amongst a flock of Sheep.
Notes[]
- Leans more towards the various Dexterity- and Arcane-scaling affinities.
- Pairs well with the similarly Dex/Arc-leaning Reduvia as an off-hand weapon for dual wielding.
- Pairs well with the extra status build-up from Cold and Occult affinities: the former for the added Frostbite build-up and the latter for the added scaling to the Blood Loss build-up.
- Its Keen affinity actually gives it slightly weaker Dexterity-scaling for "bullet"-type (i.e. doesn't scale directly with the used weapon's damage) Skills with a Keen, Quality, Lightning, or Cold affinity, giving them usually about 2% less damage than they otherwise would have. This includes, as an example, the skills Beast's Roar, Storm Blade, Thunderbolt, and Hoarfrost Stomp (these skills however perform as normal on any affinity besides Keen).
- The innate Blood Loss build-up scales with any Arcane-scaling granted by affinities (Poison, Blood, and Occult).
- While the Blood affinity grants the exact same amount of build-up and scaling as with any other dagger, it does cause the Blood Loss procs to deal an extra 100 flat damage.
- Curiously, the Strength-scaling of the Keen affinity is actually stronger than that of the Standard affinity, despite the Keen affinity usually greatly decreasing the Strength-scaling of the weapon.
- On the shorter side of daggers.
Upgrade Information[]
- Upgraded with regular Smithing Stones.
- Can have its Affinity and Skill changed.
- All non-physical Affinities lower all types of guarded damage negation by 5%, except for the associated element where the damage negation increases by 25% and another element also increases by 15%.
- Magic negation receives the secondary 15% negation bonus on Sacred and Cold affinities, Fire negation gets the increase on Lightning affinity, Lightning negation gets the increase on Fire and Flame Art affinities, and Holy negation gets the increase on Magic affinity.
- The upper number in the Atk column denotes Physical base damage while the lower, colored number in the Atk column denotes elemental base damage: red for Fire damage, yellow for Lightning damage, orange for Holy damage, and cyan for Magic damage.
- See the Weapon Scaling page for what the scaling values mean.
