We're still testing the effectiveness of Elderseal against some of these Elder Dragons. Make sure to check back later for updates!
All Dragon elemental weapons come with Elderseal, so you simply need to equip any Dragon elemental weapon to start utilizing it.
The only exception to this is the Heavy Bowguns and Light Bowguns since the weapons don't come with innate elements. However, you can still have access to Elderseal by using Dragon Ammo.
You can increase the effectiveness of your Elderseal using the Elderseal Boost skill, which can be obtained through certain armor pieces or the Dragonseal Jewel 3. Note that this won't apply Elderseal to weapons that doesn't have one to begin with.
