Curseblade's Cirque is a Backhand Blade in Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree that scales with Strength and Dexterity. Read on to learn how to get the Curseblade's Cirque, as well as its location, description, upgrades, stat requirements, and best Ashes of War.

Curseblade's Cirque Location

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

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.
