Elden Ring offers players a huge arsenal of weapons to pick from, however, some are better than others in the long run. The Meteoric Ore Blade is one of the best Katanas in the game, but getting to its location can be quite tricky.
Elden Ring has lots of hidden weapons for Tarnished to uncover as they make their way through the Lands Between, with one of them being the legendary Meteoric Ore Blade. This mighty Katana is known to deliver slashes with such ferocity that it is said to resemble the impact of a falling meteor.
Just like the Moonveil Katana and Uchigatana, the Meteoric Ore Blade enables players to swiftly slice their opponents. However, locating this mighty blade can prove tricky, particularly if you don’t know where to begin looking.
Fortunately, our Meteoric Ore Blade location guide will enable you to add this Katana to your weapon collection wherever you currently are in the game. It’s also a helpful weapon to use in the PvP Colosseum DLC.
Where to find the Meteoric Ore Blade in Elden Ring
Players looking for a weapon with good Slash and Pierce damage should go after the Meteoric Ore Blade, as it is available early on if you know where to look.
This Katana 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.
If you’ve already been around Limgrave and have unlocked most of the Sites of Grace there, simply follow the instructions outlined below.
- Fast Travel to the Summonwater Village Site of Grace.
- Continue northeast until you reach the Smoldering Church.
- 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.
- Go back to the Dragon-Burnt Ruines that are near the Stranded Graveyard, the first location you visit after the game’s tutorial.
- Avoid fighting the dragon and look for the stairs to the basement.
- Kill all the rats there and open the door.
- Search for a chest, interact with it and it will teleport you straight to the Sellia Crystal Tunnel in Caelid.
- Activate the Site of Grace near the exit and get out of the tunnel.
- 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. The door will be directly in front of you, so simply open it and unlock the chest to claim the Meteoric Ore Blade as your prize.
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.
