How to Get Red Bear’s Claws in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC
Discover how to obtain the Red Bear’s Claws in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC by following this detailed walkthrough.
The new Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring introduces a variety of powerful weapons for players to obtain. One of these is the Red Bear’s Claws, a set of fast-hitting claws that can be acquired quite early in the DLC content. This guide will walk you through the steps to get your hands on these beastly weapons.
Where to Find the Red Bear’s Claws
The Red Bear’s Claws are dropped by a powerful enemy known as the Red Bear. To reach this foe, you’ll need to make your way to the Scadu Altus region, which can be accessed after progressing through the early parts of the DLC.
Once in Scadu Altus, head to the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace located near the center of the map. From here, go northeast into a hidden cave. Navigate through the cave until you emerge at the Ancient Ruins.
Your goal is now to travel west through the canyon until you reach the edge of the area. Look for a sealed Sprintspring close to where you can find a map fragment.
To unseal this Sprintspring, you’ll need to locate a cairn just a short distance up the cliff to the southwest. Once unsealed, the Sprintspring will launch you up to an isolated mountain peak.
How to Defeat Red Bear in Elden Ring?
Atop this mountain, you’ll find a lone building housing the fearsome Red Bear. Engage this enemy in combat and emerge victorious to obtain the Red Bear’s Claws along with the rest of its equipment.
The Red Bear attacks with powerful claw swipes that come out in combos. While damaging, these attacks can be avoided with well-timed rolls. Look for openings after dodging to get in your own attacks.
The Red Bear’s Claws scale primarily with Strength and Dexterity. They can be upgraded by using Somber Smithing Stones to increase their damage output.
These claws excel at dealing rapid slashing attacks to quickly build up damage on enemies. They also have a unique weapon skill called Red Bear Hunt.
