Executioner's Greataxe | Elden Ring Wiki

Executioner's Greataxe is a Greataxe in Elden Ring. The Executioner's Greataxe scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity. Its Skill, War Cry, grants the user the ability to temporarily increase attack power.  While active, strong attacks change to charging attacks. 

 

 

Where to Find Executioner's Axe in Elden Ring

The Executioner's Axe weapon can be found at the following location:

• Can be dropped by Skeletons using this weapon.
• The Church of Irith Graveyard.
  • From the Lake-Facing Cliffs [Map Link] site of grace in Liurnia of the Lakes, head west from the Church of Irith. Follow the cliff until you reach the top where you will find a small graveyard with two Skeletons hanging from a tree. Getting closer will spawn a Skeleton wielding the Executioner's Greataxe to the right of the monument with the Warming Stone in a small grave patch.
• The graveyard above Sellia.
  • From the Church of the Plague (in Caelid, East of Sellia), go north-east, following the coast until you see one of the old man statues (which point to dungeons), slightly further north-east you will see a narrow crevice between some fallen stone arches. A Skeleton wielding the Executioner's Greataxe spawns in this crevice. [Map Link] Beware that having Crepus's Vial equipped will prevent the skeleton from spawning, even when riding Torrent.
• The graveyard above Academy Gate Town.
  • From Gate Town North [Map Link] site of grace, head south and a little east to a graveyard near a large tree. Specific location of the Skeleton wielding the Executioner's Greataxe is due east from the South Raya Lucaria Gate site of grace. [Map Link]

To optimize the performance of Executors Greataxe, it's recommended to leverage its enhanced Critical Scaling by equipping the Ash of War Crag Blade in Caelid, the Dagger Talisman in Volcano Manor, and the StoneBarb Cracked Tear, which collectively form a potent Critical hit build capable of staggering both bosses and enemies. Additional benefits can be obtained by incorporating a bleed effect into the build.
