Eclipse Shotel is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. The Eclipse Shotel scales primarily with Faith and Dexterity and is a good Weapon for inflicting the death ailment upon foes followed by a flare if an additional input brings down the armament.
Storied sword and treasure of Castle Sol that depicts an eclipsed sun drained of color. One of the legendary armaments.
In Sol, the sight of an eclipse inspires a dreadful awe, preventing an onlooker from averting his gaze.

How is there actually people confused that this doesn't scale with int? It's TRUE DEATH related, not undeath. Everything related to true death scales with faith, undeath/necromancy is intelligence. Plus there's already wing of astel? How many int scaling Curved swords with unique weapon arts do you even need? Learn to appreciate ashes of war people

1) it should be physically weak and rely on the death blight buildup, which should be stronger.
2)that’s not entirely fair to ask because it’s the only status that causes instant death, and phantom procs with other statuses are bad enough already:
3)deathblight should therefore buildup faster and also decrease faster, both more than any other status. The status resistance to it provided by vigor should be adjusted so that 60-64 vigor would be required to get resistance comparable to what 40ish gives you now.

Should've been a paired weapon like the OSS, would've been nice. Uniting both halves of the eclipse and swinging them down in a much larger burst, perhaps like a shorter range Scouring Blackflame. FromSoft really slept on their old ideas with this game, not even an int/fth affinity like DS3…

i have seen one invader use this in my entire game time and they had one of the coolest set ups i've ever seen, it's a shame its so rare to see the creativity (they even got to deathblight one of my phantoms! which is esp surprising given its almost impossible to proc). Such a cool looking weapon, its a shame you'd either A. just use it for pvp or B. use it for pve with the knowledge its pretty bad

Easy fix for balancing this status effect without crippling its buildup like they did: Treat it like Madness; it builds up on you too, so HAVE to raise your resistance or you proc it on yourself way before your opponent. Also make all the best blight resistance equipment weak armor and dedicated talismans. At least this way you're forced to play a riskier and less damaging build and it's very difficult to proc blight on an entire team.
But what do i know, I'm just some dumb rando on the internet.

You know it's kinda sad to know this is only for pvp use full. Becease remember if elden ring has it's dlc released and a new soulsborne game comes out the pvp community in elden ring will leave with it. And if this game online wise, dies (hope if doesn't) then what was the point of this weapon when pvp is next to non existence?

Seems like dual wielding 2 of these is the only way for death blight to hace decent buildup.

Maybe not a great weapon, not even a good one, but it certainly strikes a certain type of fear in some players when they see the possibility of instant death. Although that fear is pointless if they opponent knows that the build up won’t happen.
- Anonymous
They should make it so that enemies that have taken any death blight buildup should have the death blight -death animation.
That way, even if it doesn't proc (which is essentially all the time in PvP And PvE) it still feels somewhat rewarding for using the weapon or incantations.
- Anonymous
Here is an idea. In PVE when death blight procs, enemy has greatly reduces poise health and recovery. As enemy gets pulled by roots and their life being drained. On poise break, riposte damage increased by ~1.3, then effect dispels. Would help this fast weapon class to feel more heavy and fits thematically as you making a mercy kill. Also synergizes well with Guts cosplayers in your team.

It would be so cool to see bosses killed by death blight. If bosses had like 3000 death blight accumulation in order to proc the kill animation for death blight i think it would also be balanced enough. Let's say we give Eclipse Shotel like 50/75 death blight per hit. That would mean over 40 hits in order to proc and most bosses would already have low HP, so having a death blight animation on them would be so satisfying. For incantation, the number of DB per hit could be even lower, as well for pvp, so nobody gets one shot right away.

Best used against greatshield users and estus-chuggers
Since it pierces shields and deathblight ignores health

impossible to proc, would've been cool is it was a reliable status effect like hemorrhage
- Anonymous
This is a tricky thing to balance since right now the deathblight buildup is so bad that you’ll almost never proc it on someone before killing them unless you use them unupgraded. On the other hand if they buffed the buildup then it could become way too OP since deathblight is an instakill. It is also a shame that deathblight has no use in PvE since enemies don’t get affected by it. I love the look of this weapon and the visual look of the deathblight however it just feels really weak right now even in PvP where this thing is supposed to shine due to deathblight.

Hope the dlc can give us a scythe that has death blight. I want my grimm reaper cosplay damn it!

Feels like this thing should be an int weapon since most of the other death based tools scale better with int. I wanted to do a death based necromancer build at 125 but it’s very difficult to accommodate this on a build that uses death sorceries.

Not the worst for dealing holy damage with how it's buff works, but it does suck that Death Blight is such a bad status. Especially as someone who very rarely plays PvP, this thing's power is limited at best, even moreso compared to the other Legendary weapons.

With the Black Wolf Mask, some dark robe and dual Eclipse or regular Shotel, you can become death straight up XD

Cool weapon, unfortunately any decently upgraded shotel will just kill the host before the deathblight actually procs. Its honestly not a bad weapon in that regard either if you think it looks cool, its just not gonna deathblight particularly often. Even if you dual wield.

I think people got the wrong idea. Death bed companions are faith healers and the death blight forces people to create space for your casting/healing. It’s supposed to be very difficult to have death blight sword, death blight sorcery, death blight incantation without massive sacrifices to armor/mind or even hp. But... Imagine the synergy between a few shotel hits into death lightning into erdtree heal or honed bolt... a team fight simply doubles or triples your healing out put and the power of your elemental buffs. I’ve recently tested this in both duels and team fights and it’s pretty solid as dex/fth/mind RL125 team support and anyone curing death blight was countered with an erdtree heal, jump attack or honed bolt with gravel stone seal. If lhutel wasn’t always invisible and distracted, maybe I’d have even gotten some trees in spirit summon duels. The problem with lhutel is she doesn’t really protect me while I’m getting targeted by my opponent and his summons. My player team mates were much better at protecting me in team fights and opponents were often dumb enough to eat death lightning one shots. In duels, my opponents would rather run even when they know i heal, and I don’t care about their silly rules about “no healing miracles” from a game 10 years in the past.

would be p e r f e c t is it caused its status effect a million times faster... currently takes about 23 to 30 hits (with two of 'em) to deathblight, or much, much, much more if cured... sadly its curable... ouch

even if your opponent has less than minimum deathblight resistance (probably like 200 total) you'd need to be really aggressive and hit them 10 times to blight. Ain't no way.

I wish that if it's already buffed, trying to use the weapon art just skips the buffing animation and goes straight to the explosion (With SOME windup, of course). Even if it doesn't extend the initial buff. With you already being more likely to kill them than death blight them, it could really use the ability to apply pure build up some way.
- Anonymous
I you want buildup purely, DO NOT DUAL WIELD! Not only will they die before the buildup procs, but due to the recent nerf powerstancing these inflicts a PITIFUL amount of buildup. i belive one running attack is around 3/4 of a typical running attack single handed in terms of buildup. youre better off with fias mist in your offhand. (you can use azur staff for faster casting, and you don't need to meet the requirements.)

Does a lot of damage with the right setup but you will NEVER get the proc even when they heal

To be honest i think this weapon was made for the chance you where unfortunate enough to encounter a infinite health hacker.
I was a victim of fighting sutch a hacker yesterday in elden ring. He was a blue summon, in a world of an afk farmer.
I attacked that basterd, he got staggered, but he couldn't be damaged.
So after eventually knowing i could inflict any damage i remembered this weapon was in the game that could 1 shot people with it's status effect.
Used it against the pathetic hacker, and he died by the status effect the poor fool.
He even rage mailed me and calling me a cheater LMAO.

Has excellent base damage. So I tried a 99 vigor raw build stacking all life boost on mausoleum armor and using fias mist when I need to rebuff. The damage was good but I only procced death twice while dueling. I bet if I had two shotels I could’ve gotten tons of death blight. I got close on a ton of people and could tell by how passive/cowardly they became. Anyways the weapon is very good and the ash does good dmg if used properly. I can’t say that the death blight build up needs a buff... it’s instant death lol and I bet two would be disgusting... but I think hitting someone with the L2 should do way more death blight.

deathblight needs a buff, i have never been deathblighted by a player and its effects can be negated with a bolus that takes a second to use, you might get hit while using it but the alternative is death. the duration on this is way too short and im able to kill people with it normally before the deathblight procs. meanwhile players with 60 arcane and double sepuku can instantly bleed me for 90% of my health, might as well be deathblight at that point.

Weapon skill is strong but has no hyper armor. Death blight is a pipe dream in PvP and literally useless offline. At least it's always stronger than a Sacred Shotel, but really I can't think of why you would use one besides chipping a Fingerprint Stone, and there are better tools for that job.
- Anonymous
The fact this is the only death blight weapon in the game sucks.
It's a good weapon to kill people with, but to try and fill up the meter you need to do 2 times the explosion weapon art in someones face. and that animation is slow as hell and doesn't give you hyper armor! And after that you might be able to death blight a person after 2-3 hits with it. So in pvp It's not worth it in trying to use it against someone for the status effect.
Hope the dlc makes us able to use a better weapon for the status effect.

You know what Iwish? I wish this weapon in PvE would do some sort of animation of leave some deathroot effects on enemies so that it FEELS like I'm Wielding a weapon that really inflicts deathblight. It would just look pleasing to the eye that deathblight has a real effect on enemies.
Guys just to add my two cents, don't try to min/max everything. If a weapon looks interesting, use it, have fun with the game. No weapon is bad enough to make the game unplayable, as long as you know what you're doing.

This weapon is... strange. It uses a slightly altered curved sword moveset -- no two-hits on single or 2h strong attack like Beastman's, but still does the quad-strike when dual-wielded using L1.
Also, I have no frickin' idea how its damage is calculated. I was fighting Hoarax Loux with two of these, both with their Death Flare skill, and jump attacks were cracking 1.5k with claw talisman and raptor body, which is numbers I usually see from greatswords/hammers when a boss doesn't resist an element. Hoarax Loux resists holy, which this shotel deals, but somehow they didn't care about..? At this point, don't expect to actually get Deathblight off on anything, but on a 50/50 dex/faith build, these things hit pretty respectfully.
Don't expect to Deathblight anything without some bug helping you, even with two shotels, my buddy dies with 50% blight buildup, but something's up with this thing's damage.
- Anonymous
Interesting but also cool detail: Death blight from this can't proc on non-tarnished NPCs like Anastacia, it plays a particle effect that would be a proc but it doesn't actually do anything. I tested it on NG+ with an unupgraded Eclipse Shotel on the smoldering church invasion, I got the death blight particle effect to play twice, but even after hitting her a few dozen times it never actually killed her.

Looking forward to trying out duel-wield these for overleveled phantoms when doing Limgrave invasions. It's not useless for phantoms that are otherwise practically immortal at low levels, and people don't really carry the boluses to heal this status effect =)

Really feel like they missed an opportunity with not making this into a paired weapon set. Just seems like having two Shotel making a full loop would fit, and being legendary, it'd help it stand out. I understand the balancing issue with it building up death blight, but honestly, I doubt it would be any worse than the Madness spells, Moonveil/RoB Spammers, or Great shield users. And just like with Madness, I don't see why this couldn't be a useful status effect against certain enemies. It isn't like Bleed and Rot aren't over there wrecking shop.

As far as curved swords go, I don't think it's that bad. It's damage and scaling are average at higher levels in late game, it's fast, and the weapon art adds damage and a second tap can do an explosion that does pretty good damage if timed well. I don't think its bad for exploring or for bosses weak to holy. Definitely not the one weapon to carry you through the game but ok for the curved sword category. A lot of the comments focus on death blight, and agree that this isn't worth anything in PVE and probably not practically useful in PVP. But compared to the smaller weapons, it looks great and performs all right. I still enjoy carrying this around with my dex/faith build - even if I switch to Godslayer Greatsword for bosses.

I believe the main issue is death blight is useless in pve, and nearly unusable in pvp, since the buildup is so slow. Madness, frost, sleep, and the omnipresent bleed are much more reliable.

Really lacklustre compared to all the other great legendary weapons, it needs a buff in some way, I mostly just wish it had more damage, or possibly make the WA worth using, cool idea but it doesn’t work that well and other than that it’s kind of just a normal curved with a bit lower damage, but worse since you can’t buff it, or give it a different weapon art and damage type

In case you're curious: No, you are not going to suddenly delete bosses using this. In fact I believe every single one is immune which means that the only relevant thing the effect will proc on are players, and if that's your goal Bleed does almost the same thing in two hits.
Really cool looking weapon, but very mediocre in actual use.
- Anonymous
I wish the buff on the weapon was more useful. I know that you are almost never supposed to proc the status effect, as that would be absurd if you could consistently, but the only way to sometimes proc it is when you are powerstancing it with another. The big issue is that the buff only lasts 30 seconds, and the animation itself takes a decent bit of time, quickly ticking away at your time before you need to buff both of them again. I think the best way to buff this would be to nerf the deathblight build up by about 25% so it still does almost as much as it does now, but increase the duration to around one minute.

Useless weapon. Deathblight from WA absolutely will not proc, you will always kill through regular damage first.

honestly this weapon is ok, dunno why people are so fixated on the deathblight as if status buildup is the only thing that matters lol, doesnt really matter whether they get killed by deathblight or the physical damage of the weapon, theyll die either way lol, theyre just more likely to die to blight if they heal, so like, just whip this out on anyone that uses healing spells in the arena, they cant heal damage and get rid of the deathblight quickly
