Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
Forked-Tongue Hatchet Location, Stats, and Scaling
Forked-Tongue Hatchet is a Axe in Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree that scales with Strength and Dexterity. Read on to learn how to get the Forked-Tongue Hatchet, as well as its location, description, upgrades, stat requirements, and best Ashes of War.
Forked-Tongue Hatchet Location
| Note: The Forked-Tongue Hatchet is only available if you own the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. |
Dropped by Imps with Hatchets in DLC Catacombs
The Forked-Tongue Hatchet is a random drop from Imps wielding Hatchets inside DLC catacombs. You can farm for them at either the Fog Rift Catacombs, Scorpion River Catacombs, or Darklight Catacombs.
Forked-Tongue Hatchet Farming Route
The easiest place to farm the Forked-Tongue Hatchet will be in the Scorpion River Catacombs in the Rauh Base since it has 1 guaranteed Hatchet-wielder spawn that's slightly near the site of grace.
| 1 |  From the Scorpion River Catacombs site of grace, head southeast until you reach a room with a Bigmouth Imp. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  After killing the Bigmouth Imp, turn northeast and go down the stairs. This should take you into a large room with a Basilisk Eye Statue on the far end. |
| 3 |  Do not cross the room. Instead, go inside the small room to your north (just after you go down the stairs). Inside there will be an Imp wielding a hatchet that you can kill. |
| 4 |  Rinse and repeat the process until you get the Forked-Tongue Hatchet. |
Boost Drop Rate by Increasing Item Discovery and Arcane Stats
| Items That Boost Item Discovery | |
|---|---|
| Talismans | ・Silver Scarab (+ Item Discovery) ・Outer God Heirloom (+ Arcane) ・Marika's Soreseal (+ Arcane) |
| Consumables | ・Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot ・Silver Horn Tender |
| Armor | ・Silver Tear Mask (+ Arcane) |
Since the Forked-Tongue Hatchet only has a chance to drop from Hatchet-wielding Imps, we highly recommend boosting your Item Discovery stat to increase the drop chance. You can increase this stat by using items like the Silver-Picked Fowl Foot and the Silver Scarab Talisman while farming.
