Jump to:Shadow of the Erdtree best katana stats and movesetWhere to find the best katana in Shadow of the Erdtree
I was a real katana sicko in Elden Ring’s base game, rocking Moonveil with an offhand Uchigatana from Caelid all the way through Ashen Leyndell. While there aren’t many katanas inShadow of the Erdtree, one of them is a new favorite weapon for me.Spoilers ahead about this weapon, and area details through the middle of the expansion.

The Star-Lined Sword has B scaling in Dex, D Intelligence, and D Strength. I’ve found that it’s not quite a straight upgrade on Moonveil’s Transient Moonlight—though patch 1.12’s nerf may have changed that. The Star-Lined Sword has similar damage at 60 Int, 60 Dex, though it may overtake Moonveil once you start investing in Strength.
In addition to just being rad as all hell, the Ash of WarOnze’s Line of Starsis situationally superior to Transient Moonlight. Transient Moonlight wins out as a way to quickly and safely damage bosses, while Onze’s Line of Stars is well-suited for NPC foes, groups of enemies, or dangerous but relatively low-poise opponents like Cleanrot Knights.

Once you have the Scadu Altus map, you’ll notice a triangular pool of water next to a waterfall southeast of the Shadow Keep. There’s a cave at the northern tip of that triangle that leads to a poison swamp. This path is long and circuitous, but linear—follow it until you reach theAncient Ruins Basesite of grace.
Follow this canyon to the west—you should find the map of this region on the way—and keep going until you dead end at theTemple Town Ruinsin a large, shallow lake. There is a gravestone ladder to the south of the ruins that you can climb down with Torrent intoanothercanyon. Follow this canyon south, below the Gravesite Plain, until you reach theCerulean Coastsite of grace at the bottom tip of the Land of Shadow. You can go south of the site of grace and just run past the undead dragon who accosts you to grab a map of the region.

Travel west from the Cerulean Coast site of grace until you find a graveyard full of lightning wisps and those annoying cemetery shades from the base game. Look for a canyon entrance in the rock wall north of this area and enter it.
