The Meteoric Ore Blade is one of the best Katanas in Elden Ring but exactly how can you get it in the game?

Whether you want to wield the Meteoric Ore Blade against tough bosses, standard enemies, or to survive an invasion, this is how and where you can find it in Elden Ring.

Where to find the Meteoric Ore Blade in Elden Ring

The Meteoric Ore Blade can be found in the Caelid Waypoint Ruins, inside a chest in a room at the back of an underground hall.

However, the entrance is found in the northwest part of the area.

The Meteoric Ore Blade is nestled in the red sky region of Caelid.

How to get the Meteoric Ore Blade in Elden Ring

There are two paths you can follow to reach the Caelid Waypoint Ruins in the game.

If you’ve already been around Limgrave and have unlocked most Sites of Grace there, simply follow the instructions outlined below. 

1. Fast Travel to the Summonwater Village Site of Grace.
2. Continue northeast until you reach the Smoldering Church.
3. Now go all the way south following a straight line path until you reach Caelid Waypoint Ruins.

Once you’ve unlocked Limgrave, this is the easiest route to the Meteoric Ore Blade Katana.

If you’re just starting your adventure and are nowhere near the border between Limgrave and Caelid, you can reach the Meteoric Ore Blade Katana this way:

1. Go back to the Dragon-Burnt Ruines that are near the Stranded Graveyard, the first location you visit after the game’s tutorial.
2. Avoid fighting the dragon and look for the stairs to the basement.
3. Kill all the rats there and open the door.
4. Search for a chest, interact with it and it will teleport you straight to the Sellia Crystal Tunnel in Caelid.
5. Activate the Site of Grace near the exit and get out of the tunnel.
6. Go southwest to the Caelid Waypoint Ruins.

If you’re just starting your adventure, this is the fastest way to the Meteoric Ore Blade Katana.

Once you reach Caelid Waypoint Ruins, simply head northwest towards the ruins in the distance. Amongst the rubble, you should see some stairs leading down to a basement. Dismount Torrent and proceed into the room below.

You can either choose to fight the Prawn Miners inside or simply run past them. It’s important to note that these creepy crustaceans hit pretty hard and can kill low-level characters within a few hits. If you plan on claiming the Meteoric Ore Blade early on, then be sure to open the door and quickly make a dash for the exit to avoid a frustrating death. 

The door will be directly in front of you, so just open it and unlock the chest to claim the Meteoric Ore Blade as your prize. 

Meteoric Ore Blade overview

Before you can wield Meteoric Ore Blade in Elden Ring, you’ll need at least 15 Strength, 14 Dexterity, and 18 Intelligence. This katana can inflict pierce and slash damage to enemies and has a Blood Loss build-up of +50.

Its unique weapon skill is Gravitas, an attack that thrusts the blade onto the ground to create a gravity well that pulls in foes and damages them. It deals a lower amount of damage but makes up for this with an expansive area of effect so it’s ideal to use on large mobs of enemies.

You can’t infuse this Blade with Ashes of War, boost its power with Consumables, or enchant it with Magic.
