Ripple Blade

Unique weapon wielded by young Albinaurics, this sword is
modelled after the ripples that are thought to be the origin of their
species.

Its attack power is greatly enhanced with one's arcane attribute.

The Ripple Blade weapon can be found at the following location:

• Sold by Pidia, Carian Servant at Caria ManorDungeon: on a balcony above the Manor Lower LevelGrace site of grace. Only accessible by dropping down the cliffs from the southwestern side of the Three SistersLandmark sub-area. Elden Ring Map Link

• Can be purchased from the Twin Maiden Husks after offering Pidia's Bell Bearing.

• Weapon Skill: Wild Strikes

• This weapon has unique R1 and R2 chains, shared with the Warped Axe.

• At 60 arcane/+25 (525 AR) the only other occult axes that beat it are Jawbone Axe /Sacrificial Axe (533 AR), the Iron Cleaver (546 AR) and the Warped Axe (599 AR but you are looking at 10+ levels of stat investment to use it).
