Many new weapons have been added to the Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring, but the Beast Claws may be the most savage one you can get. This melee fist weapon can deliver a flurry of powerful short-range strikes fast to decimate enemy Poise. Easily staggering enemies is the sign of a very strong weapon in the game, so you’ll want to obtain the Beast Claws early.
Fist weapons are among the best weapons for melee builds in Elden Ring due to their extremely fast attacks. The light attack of the Beast Claws is a chained sequence of close-range strikes, while the heavy attack is a double-handed slam to deal more damage. This weapon’s Ash of War ability, Savage Claw, sees your character drive forward with an unrelenting series of furious attacks that deal significant Poise damage.
The Savage Claw Ash of War ability on the Beast Claws
costs 13 FP to use each time
, so make sure your build can accommodate this strong ability before committing to using the weapon.

To get to Elden Ring’s Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC as fast as possible, complete Varré’s questline and reach Mohg’s palace, to defeat him in battle.
Where To Find The Beast Claws In Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Defeat Another Tarnished Within The Open World
You can get the Beast Claws soon after you reach the Realm of Shadow map, near the Gravesite Plain Site of Grace you can find within the DLC’s new area. Travel southeast from the Grace until you come across an enemy Tarnished named Logur the Beast Claw. The only way to receive the Beast Claws is to defeat Logur in battle to gain the weapon as loot when you kill this feral foe in Elden Ring.
The best weapons to fight Logur with are long-range melee tools, such as the
Bloodhound’s Fang
, that can easily chip away at the enemy Tarnished’s health. Spells are not as effective against this foe due to their fast movements with the Beast Claws.
Logur the Beast Claw isn’t too difficult to beat unless you get caught in the combo of attacks from their weapon. Stay away and use mid to long-range attacks to keep Logur at bay long enough to take them down. Look for different opportunities to strike and stay locked on to Logurat all times to not lose the fast enemy in the tall grasses surrounding the Gravesite Plain area.

Those with a strong Strength build should consider Gravesite Plain as a place to visit first in Shadow Of The Erdtree to give themselves a powerful melee weapon. The Beast Claws scale with Strength as you use Smithing Stones to upgrade the item. This weapon also builds up Bleed damage with every strike, making it perfect for anyone who has a character designed to inflict that status condition often.
Once you have the Claws, you can compare them to other fist weapons like the 
Star Fist or 
Spiked Caestus in the game. The Beast Claws have wider attacks instead of precise strikes, slashing with claws over large areas as opposed to blunt punches done in an enemy’s face. If you enjoy this weapon enough, you can use it in the boss fight against Divine Beast Dancing Lion, the first major fight in Elden Ring‘s Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC.
