Elden Ring How To Get The Wakizashi Dagger The Nerd Stash

The Wakizashi is a Dagger in Elden Ring inherently capable of causing Blood Loss and excels in short-range melee combat. Scaling primarily with Strength and Dexterity, this weapon is initially equipped with Quickstep, but its wielder can imbue it with any Dagger-related Ash of War. The Wakizashi cannot be Powerstanced with other Daggers, but it can be paired with a second Wakizashi or a Katana-type armament.

Elden Ring Where To Find Collapsing Stars The Nerd Stash

Where many spells and incantations found in Elden Ring allow you to attack enemies from a distance, the Collapsing Stars spells are a little different as it is meant to close the distance between you and your opposition.
