The best weapons to inflict bleed damage in the Elden Ring

If you plan to build a Blood-magic-melee-based character, Focus on Faith and Arcane Scaling. You can pair it with Blood Katana Rivers. This combo does a lot of damage to high HP enemies. Your enemies will melt before your eyes. However, the reverse of blood appears to be too late in the game.

You can also use the Bloody Helis Heavy Thrusting Knife as it has a very bleed effect. Another interesting option is the Eleanorus Polyblade, the Blood Twinblade that you can unlock after completing the Ura quest.

How can I tell if the enemies are bleeding in the Elden Ring?

First, there is no visible clue as to whether or not the enemies are bleeding. Their status bar is not visible. Only after applying significant damage, you will see a large burst of blood. Bleeding is most effective when you attack in a row.

If your enemies are heavily armed or made of stone, they will not bleed. Health is low for regular groups. This means they do not live long enough to lose blood. On the other hand, major bosses and enemies have bloodshed.

And now you know.
