Beast Claws | Elden Ring Wiki

Man imagine if they gave us a third beast claw, like a dragon's claw. Omg. With red lightning effects and a skill like blinkbolt but red and with some followup. These new weapon categories feel so unfinished. 2-3 new weapons per type is too little....

Beasts all over the Shop.

When I first tried claws I loved them so much, that fast paced playstyle, assassin vibe...but they couldn't catch that feeling quite well. Y'know, catching up to enemies quickly like a savage beast...then the dlc arrived. Just tried the beast claws and these are what I've always wanted. Beast claws and dryleafs are where my time in the game peaks. Dlc delivered some goodies like SSSAAAAAAPPPP

Submit

these are so good that i nutted the second i checked the moveset.

Submit

Another fast slash bleed weapon class that mostly resembles another existing weapon class. What would they think of for the second DLC?

Submit

Very uncouth weapons tbh!

Submit

Practically unusable in any hyperarmor matchup

Submit

Honestly I’d be okay with them taking away a bunch of the forward momentum for increased recovery and higher poise damage. Maybe then they’d be okay in PvP. The reworked the swift spear. They should do these too. Such a cool weapon class…

Submit

Most fun weapon in the game imo. Been struggling ever since release to find a weapon I actually had fun playing with, all the weapojns I tried either felt like one trick cheese fests and way too easy or having a completely lackluster moveset. These badboys gives you options with its moveset and if you don't spam L2 it doesn't trivialize the entire game either. Extremely satisfying and fun.

Submit

These should have just been claw weapons with new animations. They didn't need their own category or to lock out their (frankly pretty mid) ashes of war from the other claws.

Submit

Don't go for blood or occult with this, it's a trap. The status MV of this weapon only around 50 to 60 for the R1 chain so if you have 85 bleed, you only deal half of that with attack. Pick bloodflame blade instead, it not affect by weapon status MV and always deal 40 bleed over 2s. So in the end you will even deal more bleed than occult or blood affinity.

Submit

I do like them weapons but have two small problems with the class.
1. Obviously variety, we could have had dragon,lobster,Wolf or so much more.
2. The dual wield moveset has too long animations and not enough damage

Submit

Too bad we don't have Dragon Claw...

Submit

The backstep attacks on these are insanely fast and cover a lot of ground. I haven't tested it yet but I think doing reverse backstep attacks might be faster than sprinting.

Submit

These make a solid offhand option to pair with weapons that lack range because they have a good forward leap with their first attack. I'm using beast claw offhand with messmer soldier axe and I quite like the L1 -> R1 combo.

Submit

For anyone wondering: Yes it's hillarious fighting hoarah loux with this.

Submit

these in my left hand and bloodhounds fang in my right is perfect bloodhound knight cosplay

Submit

Used blood infused version of these and the ancient ore meteoric greatsword on my first run. Great combo for a str/arc build.

Submit

After using this in all manor of ways I can say this needs a slight buff to either the range of the running R1 lunge, giving the r1 the same stagger as its ash of War counterpart, or slightly upping its damage.

Submit

Yes i love eating the ground as i attack yum

Submit

This things, plus bloodflame: awesome, banger aesthetics, and awesome to fight as well, it's like the devs went "we heard you liked star fists, here is that but on steroids", the moveset is fun as hell also.

Submit

My doctor told me I'm morbidly a beast.

Submit

Love how you can dodge out of the strong attack, the unbelievable distance on the light running attack, and the even more insane distance on the backstep attack. 10/10 new fav weapon for chasing down/ finishing off foes in PvP. Screw Martial Arts, these let me be the Rip n' Tear Tarnished!

Submit

MIIIISTER BEAST

Submit

Practically unusable two handed thanks to the second R1 combo taking a full minute to execute

Submit

Why is the second two handed r1 so long? You always get hit when the attack doesnt stagger and the enemie does more than Look at you

Submit

These are kinda wild wielded in your left hand with a heavy weapon in your right, since your L1 will do a fast fairly long lunge forward that you can quickly combo into your right weapon. Probably not optimal dps wise but it's fun.

Submit

Their R2 start-up let's you duck under lots of attack, Raging beast ash of war gives you mobility. I don't like their R1 and R2 so one-handing them and putting some good weapon in your off-hand is a nice way to play

Submit

With this I can finally cosplay as maliketh

Submit

Dont bother using these in pvp, they don't stagger enemies unless they are literally naked. Fun in pve, but again don't use them to stagger. People in a cloth shirt have enough poise to out-trade this weapon.

Submit

The default ash of war staggers Melania, and you can usually duck past the first attack of any large sized enemy (in the base game).
Good luck trying to kill anyone besides Midra with this in the DLC though

Submit

they need to give these things way more stagger on enemies, they are so weak in pvp

Submit

The talismans you should use are the rotten winged sword insignia, the Shard of Alexander, the claw talisman, and the two headed turtle talisman.

Submit

Talismans should be rotten winged sword insignia, shard of Alexander, claw talisman, and the two headed turtle talisman.

Submit

It is so good for early in the game

Submit

It was fantastic!

Submit

I don't think they're bad, but honestly i like the moveset of normal claws better after messing around with and comparing both. That forward movement is probably good on some enemies that regular claws would struggle to hit. But while less flashy i feel like just normal hookclaws are easier to use, and they get 15 more bleed buildup which while small is nice.

Submit

For anyone tired of blind spot, savage claws dodges and responds if you use it reactively quick enough.

Submit

Put some heavy guantlets on, if the claws hide them anyway

Submit

Biggest strength of these weapons is the fact that they have basically 0 downtime on any of their attacks, you have way more openings than you think you do. You can also duck under a lot of attacks during the recovery animations so sometimes rolling immediately isn't even necessary.
Against enemies that can stagger the two handed moveset is great, but the longer animations make them way worse against most enemies with poise so I honestly prefer to just one hand them. Lower stamina costs too. The one handed charged heavy is also way better.
Also! The running heavy is incredibly quick to start, making it a great opening move.

Submit

Anyone who thinks this is a bad weapon just hasn't been deleted by them in pvp yet.

Immanent nerf Inc! Get your kills in while you can.

Submit

These are good weapon types same goes for Hand-to-Hand.
Just need a good timing and dodging to really do well with them, the beast claws a bit better because of the bleed.
Can’t wait to see what they’ll add to these classes in the next game that’s souls like.

Submit

thank god this dlc had good bosses because the weapon selection is actually the worst thing ever

Submit

So many weapons and whole new categories are missed opportunities. We need like a monster hunter style weapon content update at some point. Just MORE.

Submit

These are actually pretty sick in your off-hand, especially with a slower or more stationary weapon. Right now I'm using it with a Great Katana in my right hand, using one L1 to close distance with the claw and following up with almost no recovery with the 1H Great Katana R1. The combo is really fast, and allows me to reposition easily mid-attack chain by doing another L1.

Submit

In PvE, the damage seems low for how long attack animations last. It also takes more skill to free-aim these. My other weapons were serving me noticably better.

Submit

Moveset is really good for closing distance and promotes a hyper aggressive playstyle, makes the lack of range you'd usually expect from claws a non-issue in most cases. My weapon of choice for the final boss it helped greatly as it feels you're constantly getting pushed away, damage was ok but it makes up for it with the rapid moveset + natural bleed buildup

Submit

As a hand to hand fan I really want to like this weapon but claws and fist does the same amount of dps with a both quicker and safer moveset, they really need to change how the light attacks works, doing the 2nd light followup is asking to get hit by anything that doesn't get staggered

Submit

both these and the beast claws feel really terrible to use in pvp, they really need to give them more stagger or something...

Submit

When I heard about beast claws I immediately thought "oh so like a great/colossal version of claws" but instead it's just this.

Submit

Kind of disappointed there wasn't 1 or 2 more beast claws but the ones we got are pretty good options ngl

Submit

Where's my fukn heavy claw weapon?

Submit

No dragon claws. No crab claws. No lobster claws. No bird claws. But hey at least we got another 10 colossal swords/weapons :(. "new" weapon type with only 2 weapons :((((

The Claws of Night shouldn’t be listed here, they aren’t Beast Claws

Submit

Best weapon type of the DLC . So fun to use , the ashes of war are awesome, quick moveset and you can decimate anyone in a mere few hits because they attack so many times per imput .

Submit

If you hold roll a while doing a charged heavy attack you get a unique heavy that sends you backwards, on bloodhound fang style, you can chain it after your light attack and comes as fast as your 2nd light attack follow, I think that there is no other weapon in the entire game that has something similar lol

BEASTS ALL OVER THE SHOP

also the running r2 comes out so fast gahdayum

Submit

There's gonna be so much chaos in PvP with these beast claws

Submit

No Dragon's Claws? Shame.

Submit

Welp, turns out this whole hand-to-hand and beast hype was a scam. Two weapons for each brand-new weapon type, seriously? Might as well just add them to fist and claws types respectively

Submit

Savoring all the mods-denied comments of all the angry plebs who got scammed by only two weapons in the whole class with one being non-infusable bleed based w/o arc scaling

Submit

You can get one east/southeast of first sight of grace

Submit

There's a regular beast claw (just called Beast Claw) you can get pretty much immediately --- there's a dude wandering the forest to the east-ish/south-eastish of the first site of grace and he drops them. Uses regular smithing stones to upgrade and has innate bleed (45).

Submit

these things suck ass

Submit

Another Beast Claw is near the Shadowland Start in the Woods an enemy NPC drops Beast Claws.

Submit

Why is there only one of these?

Submit

For anyone curious, there's beast claw bottom southeast of the first sog. Good luck though lol

Submit

Please please please give us a lobster/crab claw weapon. Big claw right hand, small claw left hand. Give it a moveset where you swipe a few times with the small claw followed by a big right claw swipe. An AoW where the R1 performs a big claw snapping motion and an R2 that makes your character do the lobster sniper water spit.

Submit

Light Greatswords:
Flashy and elegant moveset wielded with skill

Beast Claws:

Casuals: The moveset is to anime!
Chads: I’m hunting these things down so I can fight Hoarah Loux in NG+ properly.

Submit

Black Clover Vetto incoming.

Submit

furry build is real

Submit

The smallest weapon category is Balistas with 2, followed by Reapers, Heavy Thrusting Swords, and Great Bows with 4.

I doubt there would be any fewer than 4 beast aw weapons, so it's safe to say the other weapons could probably be dragon claws, crow/hawk claws, and maybe wolf claws or the leonine lion claws?

Wouldn't be surprised if they add a striking damage claw that is violent punching like those dark beasts from bloodborne or manus from ds1

Submit

God, I just KNOW there's going to be a raptor talons like weapon with its multi hit L2 flurry. Beast claws 6 hit combo + scholars armament see you there

Here's hoping we get dragon bone fist shoryuken too.

Submit

Magnus the Beast Claw: >:(

Enough waiting for DLC, a hoonta must hoont!
