The Noble’s Slender Sword stands out as one of the most powerful straight sword weapons in Elden Ring, boasting impressive reach. To obtain this weapon, you need to defeat Wandering Nobles throughout the game. With a 0.5% drop rate at 100 Discovery, you’ll need to eliminate multiple foes as the drop is randomized. You can encounter Nobles in Limgrave near the Waypoint Ruins, in Raya Lucaria by the Debate Parlor Site of Grace, and even along the Caelid Highway South Site of Grace.
Utilize the Sites of Grace to teleport between these areas frequently, enhancing your chances of securing this sword in Elden Ring. It’s also beneficial to boost your Discovery to improve your farming efforts.
Limgrave
You can initially begin farming the Slender Sword in Limgrave. Look for a Troll-pulled Carriage traveling along the path west of the Waypoint Ruins.
Upon reaching the area, locate and defeat the Wandering Nobles to obtain Noble’s Slender Sword. However, given the drop rate of approximately 0.5 percent, be prepared to vanquish numerous Wandering Nobles.
Raya Lucaria
A highly effective spot for farming Noble’s Slender Sword is in front of the Debate Parlor Site of Grace in Raya Lucaria. Here, you’ll find a large cluster of nobles to defeat.
After exiting the boss chamber, ascend the stairs to the first floor and engage all the nobles in your path. If you don’t manage to get the weapon, reset the area and try farming them again.
Caelid
You can also discover Wandering Nobles at the Caelid Highway South Site of Grace. Once there, you can find them wandering around the nearby graveyard.
Church of Pilgrimage
Lastly, you can acquire Noble’s Slender Sword from the noble in the Church of Pilgrimage. Head south along the road that leads to the church, and you’ll encounter the noble wielding the sword.
Given the low drop rate, expect to invest considerable time farming for nobles. To enhance your odds of obtaining Noble’s Slender Sword, consider using items like the Silver Scarab Talisman or Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot.
Some players have been fortunate enough to find the sword within just an hour, while others report spending three to four hours hunting for it.
Bridge of Iniquity Site Of Grace
From this Site of Grace, head east across the bridge where you will encounter several nobles roaming around. Eliminate them, and the sword may drop if luck is on your side.
