The Meteoric Ore Blade is one of several katanas in Elden Ring, offering players the opportunity to deal a little bit of magic damage on top of the Blood Loss effect inherent to all katanas. Finding it isn't as hard as some of the weapons in the game, but it can be easy to overlook the dungeon where it's hiding. Here's how to grab the Meteoric Ore Blade for yourself in Elden Ring.

Where to Find the Meteoric Ore Blade in Elden Ring

The Meteoric Ore Blade was forged from a fallen meteor. That gives it gravity manipulating properties on its magic attacks, which can be particularly helpful against flying enemies. It scales primarily with Strength and Intelligence, then secondarily with Dexterity.

To find it, you'll want to head to the Caelid Waypoint Ruins. They're located at the midpoint between the Gaol Cave Site of Grace and the Caelid Highway South Site of Grace. If you haven't unlocked the Gaol Cave, start at Caelid Highway South and take it north until you see some ruins to your west.

Head in and explore the ruins. You'll encounter some Prawn Miners, Rotten Strays and Servants of Rot, so some poison and Scarlet Rot resist might be useful. Clear out the ruins and look for stairs leading down to a tomb. They should be just east-northeast of the Caelid Waypoint Ruins icon on the map, guarded by a single Prawn Miner.

Head down the stairs and you'll find yourself in a room full of enemies. This can be a frustrating fight because of the cramped quarters and the number of ranged enemies. Stay moving, killing the enemies piecemeal as the opportunities arise, and you'll survive.

With all the enemies dead, go to the far side of the tomb from the stairs you used to enter. Open the door, then open the chest inside to pick up the Meteoric Ore Blade.
