10 Powerful Video Game Items You Can Find In The First HOUR

Uchigatana is a staple of From Software games. It appears in every Dark Souls title and the Elden Ring as well. It's a pretty reliable weapon that deals a lot of damage, and if you keep upgrading it, you can keep it strong and powerful right until the very end of the game. Which is pretty nifty considering that Elden Ring allows you to grab an Uchigatana almost as soon as you take your first step in the Lands Between.

The sword is hidden inside the Deathtouched Catacombs, just north of your starting location. The dungeon is filled with skeletons and confusing turns, but if you manage to deal with all of them, you'll find an Uchigatana lodged in the body of some poor soul who didn't make it out alive.

The weapon has great base stats and scales really nicely with Dexterity. It's the perfect blade to use on runs where you want to feel like a lone samurai journeying through the land in search of worthy opponents.

Well, that is until you come across a boss like Malenia, who will immediately ruin your immersion with some good old-fashioned ass whooping.
