As a brutal open world RPG, Elden Ring is stacked with fearsome foes waiting to best you and loads of gear and weapons designed to help you get the upper hand on them.

Of course, not all weapons are readily available, because that would just make things way too easy. There is a large list of rare weapons we could throw on this list, many with chillingly low drop rates like the Cleanrot Spear, Noble’s Estoc, and Magma Blade, but we’ve gone with a classic, the Celebrant’s Sickle. What makes this admittedly low damage output weapon so rare is that it has a drop rate of around 0.5% and it’s only dropped by two dudes across the game world. It’s not overly tricky to farm for as they drop from Celebrants who would really rather you don’t stab them to death, so they’re not going to put up much of a fight, but that drop rate is still going to make trying to get one of these a huge grind.

Because it’s all a bit of a luck game, though, you may have picked up one of these but had a bitch of a time trying to get the Celebrant’s Rib Rake, or the Celebrant’s Cleaver. One thing is for sure though, farming for anything with a low drop rate is going to take you a whole lot of time.

Though the Celebrant’s Sickle has fairly low damage output, its passive gives you 10 runes for each successful hit which is nothing to turn your nose up at, so it’s a prize worth offing a bunch of blue-robe wearing, dagger-weilding Celebrants for if you’re up for the challenge.
