Top 3 Best Bleed Weapons, Armors, and Talismans for Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree

These Three Items are an absolute must-have for every bleed build! They work for every single bleed weapon. No matter which one you choose you do want these items. Lords Blood Exultation Talisman and the White Mask boost your bleed damage beyond belief.

1. Lord of Blood's Exultation

First, let's grab ourselves the Lord of Blood Exultation, a powerful weapon that excels in inflicting bleed damage. It has a high base damage and a significant bleed buildup. This weapon is a great choice for players who want to focus on bleed damage. It doesn't matter if you burned the Elden tree already or not. Step one is teleporting to the Avenue Balcony in Leyndell City. And then you make your way down the stairs, jump over the railing and then get into the well. This part is a little bit sped up, the complicated roundabout part in the mace. After getting that sight of Grace, go over the floor, roll down the ladder and then make sure that on that wooden board you right hit the middle to land on the pipe below. Be careful with the lobsters, they'll try to eat your booty. Roll your way past them and get to the next side of Grace. There are two items behind you at the lobsters that you want to get after getting the sight of Grace. There's a somber smithing Stone 7, and one of the earlier times you can get a Somber Smithing Stone 7 and there's the shackle for Mohg. The same shackle exists for him as did for Margit, the Fell Omen to make the fight easier for you. 

Inside the Leyndell Catacombs, you will encounter a boss named Esgar, Priest of Blood. Defeat Esgar to obtain the Lord of Blood's Exultation.

2. White Mask

The White Mask is a unique piece of armor that enhances bleed damage and provides additional benefits for bleed builds. It increases the bleed buildup of your attacks and reduces the damage taken from bleed effects. This armor is essential for maximizing the effectiveness of your bleed build. To obtain the White Mask armor in Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, you will need to follow a specific questline and defeat certain enemies.

- Follow Varre's questline: You will first encounter Varre when you emerge from the opening area into the Lands Between. He will be standing on a ridge overlooking the Tree Sentinel. Listen to his advice and proceed to Stormveil Castle to kill Godrick. After killing Godrick, return to the location where you first met Varre.

- Meet Varre at Rose Church in Liurnia: Varre will be waiting for you at Rose Church in Liurnia. He will provide you with three Festering Fingers and ask you to invade and kill three other players. You can find opponents for PvP in this area. You do not need to win the invasions, just complete them.

- Dip Varre's rag in the blood of a Finger Maiden: Varre will ask you to dip his rag in the blood of a Finger Maiden. You can find a Finger Maiden at either the Church of Inhibition in North Liurnia or the Chapel of Anticipation. Alternatively, you can murder Irina if she is still alive.

- Enter Mogwyn Palace early: Varre will invite you to join the Mogwyn Dynasty and give you the Pureblood Knights Medal. This medal allows you to warp to Mohg's lair at any time. You can access the Mogwyn Palace by going through a portal in the Consecrated Snowfield, but it is recommended to follow Varre's questline to find the White Mask earlier.

- Defeat the Nameless White Mask: Once you have the Pureblood Knights Medal, warp to Mohg's lair using it. This will be seen as an act of treachery by Varre, but you do not need to fight or kill him. Explore the Lake of blood area in the Mogwyn Palace until you are invaded by one of the Bloody Surgeons. These invaders can drop the White Mask and other parts of the Surgeon's set. Kill them one at a time and keep farming them until one drops the White Mask.

3. Black Whetblade

The above two items work on every single blood build no matter which weapon you're playing. But there's another third thing you might want to acquire. For that we teleport to the ancestral woods down below as you've done the Ronnie quest line or killed Nokron, and then went for the Eternal City to get the mimic tier. We're jumping into this city and what we want to get is a whetblade that allows us to change the affinity of our normal weapons. So special weapons like the wings side, any somber smithing stone weapon can be influenced by that but any normal weapon. Infinity can be changed to bleed poison whatever you feel like status damage wise and that will be useful for the DLC. There are many new weapons introduced and you don't know what you're going to be finding and the black whetblade is essentially right here have to be picked up and you teleport back to the round table hold.
