The Winged Scythe is a powerful weapon in Elden Ring but how can you get it in the game?
Just like the Uchigatana and Rivers of Blood in Elden Ring, the Winged Scythe is a great weapon to get ahold of in the early game, especially thanks to its Bleed passive which makes those tougher bosses, enemies, and invasions much easier to deal with.
This is exactly how you can get the Winged Scythe in Elden Ring, and an overview of the weapon.
Winged Scythe location in Elden Ring
The Winged Scythe is located in the Tombsward Ruins, which can be accessed by warping to the Church of Pilgrimage and heading directly southwest.
If you don’t have this location unlocked, then follow the steps outlined below:
- Travel to the Agheel Lake North Site of Grace.
- Follow the southeastern path and cross the bridge.
- Keep following the path and rest at the Site of Grace near the Bridge of Sacrifice.
- Trek down the road until it divides and take the right turn.
- Continue along the path until you reach the Church of Pilgrimage.
- From the church, simply head southwest until you reach the Tombsward ruins.
Once you’ve located the ruins, head down into the basement. You can either kill or run past the enemies inside, but just make sure you open the door at the back. This will reveal the chest that contains the Winged Scythe.

Winged Scythe overview
Before you can use the Winged Sycthe in the game, you’ll need to have at least 16 Strength, 16 Dexterity, and 24 Faith. It’s a solid ranged weapon to wield if you prefer to keep your enemies at a distance during combat. The Scythe can cause a Blood Loss build-up of +55.
The Angel’s Wings weapon skill imbues the Scythe with light and launches the player into the air to inflict a powerful slashing attack down on the enemy.
The Winged Scathe cannot be infused with Ashes of War, or enhanced with Magic or consumables.
