Elden Ring: All Whetblade Locations (& How to Use Them)

offers plenty of flexibility when it comes to altering armaments, and players can change their weapons' affinities using various Whetblades that can be found throughout the Lands Between. Affinities change the scaling of a weapon, and some provide additional types of damage, such as Fire, Cold, or Poison.
