Notable weapons here include the Horned Warrior’s Sword, located in the poisoned lake area of west Gravesite Plain, and the Greatsword of Solitude, obtained by defeating the Blackgaol Knight boss in the Western Nameless Mausoleum. The Beast Claw can be acquired by defeating the invader NPC Logur in the southern forests, while the Great Katana lies near the Ghostflame Dragon west of the Abandoned Ailing Village.

Gravesite Plain is the first major area in the Shadow Realm of the Lands Between, and it’s where you’ll start your journey in Shadow of the Erdtree. There are 22 unique weapons to be found here, from bosses, dungeons, and exploration.
Beast Claw
The Beast Claw drops for Logur, the Beast Claw, a mini-boss who hangs out in the Gravesite Plain woods.
