Putrescence Cleaver | Elden Ring Wiki

cool weapon unfortunately its about as long as my wenor so expect to miss every attack

Submit

Mfs complain about messmer spear throwing r2 then are disappointed that this weapon not having a throwing heavy

Submit

shouldve be... no no, its perfect

Submit

Putrescence spells are considered Death Sorcery which use Intelligence & Faith, ****, the spell you get from the same remembrance is int/fai but nooo, Mike Zachary had to give the axe Arcane scaling. I am unreasonably angry about this, you know how cool this would've been for necromancer builds? God this makes me mald so hard.

Submit

bro think he orphan of kos

Submit

It's so metal

Submit

Should of been a PS6

Submit

Am I imagining things or are there a lot of arc weapons in this DLC? I switched to arc build midway through and seem to keep finding stuff. So many options might have to save some for NG+

Submit

All I will say is: its good, but its at the price of your spine

Submit

This weapons powerstancing attacks are broken, like bad, not strong. I was only doing 20 more damage than a single one handed attack when I used them at the same time. Against Loretta I was only doing chip damage and then like 700 after the chip, I should have been doing in the thousands from previous runs. Plus I had multi hit and the jumping talismans on.

Submit

Missed an opportunity to make this a throwing weapon

Submit

put this in bloodborne and fight the orphan of kos

Submit

Putrescent beyblade

Submit

I haven't actually tested how strong this thing is on its respective build (haven't made a str/arc build yet), but I do think that the way we use this thing looks stupid. I'd rather have two handing it actually let you use both handles in some way, or at the very least give us the actual cleaver r2 lmao. I get that we can't use it like PK himself, especially without a mount, but we could have at least gotten something better than the basic greataxe moveset.

Submit

I came here specifically to say that it reminds me of the weapon Orphan of Kos uses, but seeing as other users have already mentioned that several times, I became crestfallen and stopped playing Elden Ring.

Submit

Drip suggestions?

Submit

Ophan + Matrix + Elden Bling + Freezer = Putrecent Cleaver

Submit

This weapon appears to have mixed reviews, but personally I love it. The unique (and fun) Spinning Guillotine skill can be followed up indefinitely until you're out of stamina. The hyperarmor is insane, with only the tankiest enemies knocking me out of it. At max level, the guard boost goes up to 50 so I occasionally use it to block and guard counter. The charged heavy does a spinning swipe which is enough to one shot lesser enemies or break their stance immediately allowing for a critical hit. The frost buildup is low, but the skill almost always procs frost for me given its quick, successive attacks. It's very easy to trigger the damage bonus from Rotten Winged Insignia with this weapon's skill. I'm not typically fond of playing with colossal weapons, and prefer fast-hitting weapons, but this weapon has been an exception. It's just so... WEIRD. And genuinely fun.

Submit

It neither is a throwable weapon or has the cleaver heavy which are both done by the boss. This has to be a joke

Submit

Not a bad scaling bc of the silly frostbite build up

Submit

It could have been either a throwable heavy or ffs atleast give it the cleaver heavy

Submit

When You Want To Cosplay As Orphan of Kos lol

Submit

the frost buildup on this doesn't seem to scale with anything, even 99 arcane

Submit

I was curious about the arcane scaling on this weapon so i pumped 99 Arcane and tried it out. For some reason, it doesn't seem to affect the frost buildup at all. It takes FOREVER to proc frost on anything

Submit

I have one of these in my kitchen. It's a pizza cutter. I recommend one of these instead of the ones on wheels, especially in coop eating, since you get a cleaner cut.

Submit

YEEEOOWWW

Submit

A big Knife (Dagger)

Bent abit more than Curved Greatswords.

Put a good handle to hold like a Great Axe.

Sink it in the mud and corpses.

Leave it in the snow for 1 hour.

Watch Matrix.

Start Elden Ring.

Boom, Putrescense Cleaver.

Submit

The hyperarmor on the dive ONLY into the chainsaw action is nigh impossible to break and punishes very nicely. Space yourself accordingly, bare in mind a heavy armor user can break out of the chainsaw but if you think that finish it with R2 to complete the move. You can chase pretty endlessly otherwise and bully light armor users to oblivion.

Submit

If the butchering knife (a greataxe) gets the cleave slam, why the hell does this not?

Submit

Good to use when you wanna roll catch the other tryhards or trysofts.

This weapon goes nuts if you hit the first hit on the weapon skill, while going on the 3 hits follow ups.

If this thing doesn't kill, Frost will indeed finish your job.

Also, since it's cold, the enemies will not have the excuses to sweat on it.

Submit

>you don't throw it like the boss does
This DLC is a disappointment.

Submit

I think this weapon should've been S-scaling from everything with throwing heavy attacks, an added 40% damage reduction to physical, curved sword speed and moveset, and an ash of war with two stances that either launch heat-seeking missiles if you use it with light attacks, or blasts off an airstrike in a 50m radius if you use it with heavy attack.

Submit

Haha looks like orphan of Kos's placenta

Submit

everybody cries when something doesn't get arcane scaling but nobody talks about the benefit of arcane/strength builds now finally getting access to frostbite in a way that isn't flushing fp down the drain with dragon breath

Submit

This weapon is really good, simply for the fact that it has extremely high AR combined with the amazing Great Axe moveset. Frost buildup, while not much, is the cherry on top.

Submit

A lot of people complain about the weapon being bad or useless because of multiple reasons.
Just wanted to say that the weapon art completely demolishes any "tarnished" npc boss like the dancer of ranah, the blackgoal knight, Rakasha etc. They just get stunlocked by it and you can basically spam it (if you have the endurance and fp) until they fade away.

Submit

This was such a disappointment. You can get better frost build up and still stun enemies with any other cold infused greataxe and ashes like stormcaller, waves of darkness, earthshaker, etc. The only thing good about it is the way it looks, but you can’t even do the two handed cleave…I guess my str arc character will just be boring and basic and use the meteorite ore gs since it’s way better.

Submit

should've been a dagger with colossal sword moveset, an ability to heal Torrent with strong attacks and a feature to crush your game every third jumping attack!

Submit

Matrix in Elden Ring.

You use the skill, your character does a flip with their back down.

Although it's more of an aggressive move, instead of evasion

Submit

This weapon is the embodiment of a ruined orgasm.

Awesome design and an amazingly unique Ash of War, but it's weirdly Arcane and leaves us wanting for all three of fth/int scaling, a better two-handed moveset, and a boomerang attack. One of the most questionable designs of FromSoft for being so... strangled.

Submit

This weapon is super cool, despite some odd statistic choices. I find it especially odd that this is a greataxe, and not a curved greatsword. The swing pattern used by the Putrescent Knight when it wields this cleaver doesn't read as "axe" in my brain, and it literally does the strong attack used by both the Omen Cleaver and the Magma Wyrm's Scalesword during the fight. Maybe this was an accident?

Submit

Should have been a flask of emerald tears

Submit

cool weapon but it makes me feel like im going to fall over

Submit

Two things—1) wish you could two hand this like the boss does or at the very least give us the magma wyrm scale sword heavy. 2) because the spell scales off int and faith, if you want to make a putrescent knight build you’d have to level str, int, fth, and arc…

Submit

give me my putrecent knight bommerang and spin-a-roony attack with torrent

Submit

My incredibly nitpicky issue with this thing is that your character holds it like every other great axe. That's not what I want. That's not how the Putrescent Knight holds it. You should hold it by grabbing both handles on each end. Literally unplayable.

Submit

I think this should have been a Putrescence Cleaver instead of a Putrescence Cleaver.

Submit

Needs more frostbite buildup. 55 is underwhelming even against bosses weaker to frostbite. My great katana gets 127 with an infusion with 50 additional bleed buildup. The weapon is fun otherwise. I rotate it with ancient meteoric ore blade and blood great sword depending where I am summoned.

Submit

Should've been a should've been post

Submit

Tested the range against the great axe and it seems to be tied with it in the shortest range for great axes. I don't have the means to see the actual hitboxes, but I used the troll in stormveil as a test dummy and the cobble stones as my measurement tool.

Submit

Just noticed it does a ghostflame effect for the magic damage when you land hits

Submit

This weapon should have had a unique two-handed move set, where the player swings the weapon while holding both ends. Maybe switching between ends during the combo.

Submit

Frostbite should scale with arcane but otherwise kino weapon.

Submit

Not digging this at all, was really hoping for a nice boss weapon with death/ghostflame effects =\

Submit

I half-expected you to be able to throw this with the heavy attack.

Submit

... Why does this scale with Arcane when everything else Ghostflame related is Int/Faith?

Submit

Should of been a helmet

Submit

The body animation the character does when he stops using the aow is so smooth, I love it

Submit

The recovery on this skill is so nice.

Submit

slash damage on a weapon without the ability to bleed is a crime.

Submit

A worst yhorms great machete

Submit

why is this an arc weapon

Submit

for pvp, the ash of war has two options. if you land the initial hit (and they get stunned,) you press r2 to catch panic roll.
or L2 again will catch them if they hesitate to roll.

there's an option select of waiting perfectly to roll both options but the margin is so thin and when they hit you on the initial hit is so variable that it's really a 50/50.

nine times out of ten the opponent will roll right away so R2, and as the receiving end you have no idea if the player is mashing l2 over and over again cause they don't know about r2 or are just going for r2 right away.

have fun breaking your spin like a chad

Submit

If it's gonna have an arcane scaling and status build.

Wouldn't it make sense that your arcane would increase the amount of status it can apply

Submit

insanely good tbh

Submit

Frostbite doesn't scale with arcane. It would be cool if it did, because that's the point of the stat.

Submit

The AOW gives me Voldo vibes

Submit

I feel like From missed an opportunity to give this weapon something unique besides its weird ash of war. Some kind of blue flame, or putrescence anything would make this thing shine instead of the meteoric ore sword that is basically better in every way assuming you have the strength to wield it. It's definitely cool enough to use though and it's not bad thankfully

Submit

This shrimp fresh?

Submit

I wish it had playable R1 /R2. Great Aow though

Submit

it should have been me!!!

Submit

The hitbox on this thing is pretty janky. It feels longet than it looks but sometimes it doesn't.

Submit

Should of been a consumable

Submit

More of a pvp weapon

Submit

Dont know if anyone noticed it yet
But this weapon has much higher AR than other greataxes despites its Split damage
Its Base damage is as high as other infusable greataxes
Compared to marais greatsword (Which is very similiar to this weapon) it outdamages it by almost 200 ar (54 str and 50 arcane)
Sure its weapon Art is not that strong but it also has frost buildup
This one is alrdy underrated OP in my opinion in terms of raw damage

Submit

Should have been You don't have the right, O You don't have the right but You don't have the right, O You don't have the right

Submit

Why does this do slash damage when every single other greataxe does standard. Annoying because it’s usually a worse damage type against armor

Submit

The ULTIMATE weapon for a pirate build (along with the Jar Cannons)

Submit

Description on this page states the Frostbite effect scales with Arcane... it's obviously untrue, right?

Submit

So like is it any good? Would it work fine on a str build with min arc? How does it compare to other axes?

Submit

Does the Arcane scaling at least boost the frost build up or is it there just to tell me to kiss it's behind?

Submit

"It should have been this, it should have been that" yall commenting stuff like that should have taken a shower today.

Submit

Sorry Artorias, but Radahn gets !7! Swords if you count this one. Also poor Leonard, why couldn't you let him rest, From?!

Submit

This should’ve been a CGS with the cleaver R2. Instead it’s stuck with great axe move set with worst range in the game

Submit

I don´t know why but my back just tingled from seeing this thing lmao

Submit

Shoulda been nunchucks.

Submit

Should have some blue flame effect. Like charged heavy making blue flame explosion like that one gravity colossal sword. Or like guard counter making blue flame explosion like that one great hammer from dlc.

Submit

Shouldve been the elden ring

Submit

Heavy attacks should've been throwing attacks

Should have dealt sleep instead of frostbite (the ONLY reason it deals frostbite is cuz of Ghostflame, but the cleaver is not remotely near anything Ghostflame).

Submit

shouldnt be a greataxe. should be a colossal sword with moveset similar to black flame greatsword. with the cleaver 2h heavy.

Submit

The heavy attacks should’ve been the boomerang throws

Submit

Should of been a flat screen TV

Submit

kos parasite!

Submit

Using this on horseback, the back of the blade goes right up poor torrent's booty

Submit

I love this thing but the range is atrocious

Submit

Should’ve been a maiden

Submit

gotta have the single goofiest looking powerstance in the game lmao

Submit

The weapon art will infinitely stun fire knights, give them what they deserve

Submit

SPEEEN

Submit

Should've been a five handed weapon
