Curseblade's Cirque Location

Note: Curseblade's Cirque is only available if you own the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Dropped by Masked Curseblades

Curseblade's Cirque is a potential drop from Masked Curseblades. While they can be encountered across multiple regions, the best location to farm this backhand blade will be from the Curseblade near the Stagefront site of grace at Belurat, Tower Settlement.

This site of grace is right before the Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss arena. From the site of grace, turn around and go down the stairs to immediately find a wandering Masked Curseblade. Defeat it for a chance to get the weapon. If the weapon doesn't drop, simply fast travel back to the site of grace to respawn it.

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)

We highly recommend boosting your item discovery rate by using items like the Silver-Picked Fowl Foot and the Silver Horn Tender to increase the chances of Masked Curseblades dropping Curseblade's Cirque.

Additionally, you can also equip the Silver Scarab talisman to give you a hefty boost to your discovery rate.
