Caestus is a Fist in Elden Ring. The Caestus scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity and for melee characters looking for an extra bonus to damage protection, as Caestus's Endure ability reduces damage taken while in use.

 

A weapon built for striking with the fists, made of tough leather inlaid with iron rivets.

Fist weapons come in pairs, and two-handing this weapon will equip it to both hands.

Caestus Poison Upgrades

Requires regular reinforcement with Smithing Stone [1], Smithing Stone [2], Smithing Stone [3], Smithing Stone [4], Smithing Stone [5], Smithing Stone [6], Smithing Stone [7], Smithing Stone [8], and Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, as well as Poison Affinity Ashes of War.

Elden Ring display values for poison and blood include buildup added by scaling via the Arcane Stat. The values on this table reflect the default values only. Your own Arcane Scaling will alter the number while inside the game. If you don't meet the arcane requirements for an arcane-scaling passive then buildup will show as 60% of the base values.

This upgrade can't be enchanted with Magic or boosted with Consumables.

      Like any Ash of War that doesn't directly strike with your weapon, such as stomps, shouts etc? Slot on this and put in right hand slot 2. You now have a second hot swap AoW at your disposal. Works with any build that doesn't rely on RH weapon buffs. I like horah loux's earthshaker or beast's roar.

        Doing a "Warrior" run where I'm purely using Caestus, been messing around with it in PvE and PvP. PvE, the short range is very much a detriment, but you can land a great many hits in short time. I've had a lot of luck using Quickstep as the attack after Quickstep is a two hit combo with decent range. 'Course Spiked Caestus is just...better, but it's extremely enjoyable to just pummel things with the closest you can get to bare hands.

        In PvP it can provide a healthy amount of pressure but mind the low poise damage with the R1s. Interestingly, I sometimes perform a leaping double axe handle attack after a Quickstep instead of the usual running attack. It's a very useful attack, but I have no idea how I'm doing it? I can't replicate it in PvE. If anyone has an idea about this please let me know.

            Gaston now reopens his store even while stomping on Godrick's face. (Not sure if there's a specific trigger, as I found this while collecting equipment I'd missed before starting NG+)

              It is 100% worth running Caestus/Spiked Caestus over Iron Ball/Star Fist simply because the R2's are super cool looking, even if they do less damage. Gives me some awesome Kung Fu lookin' vibes.

                  Been ****ing around in duels with a pair of +25 Heavy Caestus at the start of NG+ with about 64 str, these things do pretty fair combo damage but only if you can actually hit. Hit a couple jump attacks for around 830 but idk if they were using talismans or not. The range is abysmal and poise damage is very low, meaning any heavy armor or shield build will absolutely end you. Basically needs bloodhound step to make it work at all. Moveset is pretty fun otherwise though. I think spiked caestus is literally just a better version of this weapon but whatever.

                    So many enemies early on are weak to strike damage, so it's nice to have something to stagger them with while doing normal attacks. For when you don't feel like using Reduvia.

                      This is still an S tier. Instead of using this as a parry/regen tool like in ds3, you use it as an ash of war tool. Still fits on every build. I suggest Lightning Ram on this is the meta lol

                        Any reason to use this regular Caestus over Spiked one? Looks like scaling the same, but you have neat blood loss effect on spiked, so maybe this one have more poise damage or something like this?

                          My question is: which has more DPS, two independent Caestuses vs two-handing the one Caestus pair. Any ideas or testing????

                            Do you have to kill the merchant after beating Godrick? He doesn't sell anything after beating him, and I'd rather not kill him now that he's a free man.

                              I've been playing through the game soley with this weapon, its pretty solid damage, good speed and the weapon art gives you super armor and something like 50 percent dmg reduction at a low mana cost. Def fun if you are going for a martial artist build.
