Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtreeintroduces eight new weapon types for the Tarnished to explore, including the powerful Great Katana. This new weapon mixes the dexterity-based finesse of the Katana with the brute force of a Greatsword. While there are many incredibly cool new Great Katana’s inSotE, one of the most impressive isRakshasa’s Great Katana. Players looking for this weapon will also acquireRakshasa’s Armor Set.
Rakshasa’s Great KatanaandRakshasa’s Armor Setare both new additions through theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. They are somewhat tricky to find, and require the player to reach Shadow Keep in Scadu Altus. This guide will show players how to reach the Eastern Nameless Mausoleum, and getRakshasa’s Great KatanaandRakshasa’s Armor Set.
How to Reach the Eastern Nameless Mausoleum
Start From the Shadow Keep
The first task players must complete to find Rakshasa’s gear is reaching the Shadow Keep in Scadu Altus. There is a secret passage that players will need to find that leads to a hidden section of theScadu Altus. Follow these steps to find the secret passage:
Lower Scadu Altus and Recluses' River
When you reach the Castle Watering Hole, you’ll see a wide plain flooded with water. Make your way south through the deadFurnace Golems, but be careful around the middle of the plain, as one of the golem will come to life. Your first stop will be the Recluses' River Upstream site of grace, which is just to the left of the waterfall at the end of the plain. Follow the only path available to you to eventually reach the Recluses' River Downstream site of grace. The path from here will lead to the Eastern Nameless Mausoleum.
Eastern Nameless Mausoleum
From theRecluses' River Downstreamsite, look directly over the cliff to the left to find several protruding tombstones. You can use these tombstones to reach the river below. Once you reach the river, do not continue down to the lower section. Instead, follow the river towards the waterfall, then stay right around the bend. Continue riding, and you’ll reach the top of another waterfall. TheEastern Nameless Mausoleumwill be to the left of the waterfall. LikeSotE’s other Nameless Mausoleums, there will be a single boss fight with no summons allowed.
