Ghiza's Wheel Location, Stats, and Scaling

Ghiza

Ghiza's Wheel is a Colossal Weapon in Elden Ring that scales with Strength and Dexterity. Read on to learn how to get the Ghiza's Wheel, as well as its location, description, upgrades, stat requirements, and best Ashes of War.

Ghiza's Wheel Location

Dropped by Inquisitor Ghiza in Volcano Manor

Ghiza's Wheel is dropped by Inquisitor Ghiza - an invader that spawns in the room above the Volcano Manor site of grace in Mt. Gelmir. This large dining hall is located above the room where you first meet Tanith.

How to Go to Volcano Manor in Mt. Gelmir

There are two ways to reach Volcano Manor. One requires you to traverse Mt. Gelmir while the other is an instant teleport to the Volcano Manor site of grace. The latter is, by far, the easier method:

1 Help Rya retrieve her necklace from Blackguard Boggart in Liurnia.
2 After she gives you the invite to Volcano Manor, go to Altus Plateau and look for Rya either at the top of the Grand Lift of Dectus or at the Lux Ruins (if you reached Altus Plateau via the Ruin-Strewn Precipice).
3 Speak to her at either location and she will teleport you directly to Volcano Manor.

However, if you don't want to do this questline, you will have to approach Mt. Gelmir from the Road of Iniquity Side Path in northern Altus Plateau. From there, follow the different Mt. Gelmir Campsites until you reach the entrance of Volcano Manor.
