One of the coolest weapons players will encounter is Sir Ansbach’sObsidian Laminascythe. As players make their way through Ansbach’s Quest, they’ll likely wonder if it’s possible toget Obsidian Lamina inShadow of the Erdtree.This guide will explain how players can get Sir Ansbach’s final weapon, and what it does.
Obsidian Lamina Overview: Stat Requirements, Effects, & Skill
Signature weapon of the Pureblood Knight Ansbach. A viciously keen and slender scythe made for combat. The obsidian edge relies not upon trickery to fulfill its violent purpose – through skill alone the wielder can rip and rend through foes, sowing blossoms of red upon the battlefield.
InElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree,Obsidian Lamina is a new weapon of the Reaper weapon type. It deals Slash attacks with all of its damage coming from Physical. Given Ansbach’s relation toMohg, Lord of Blood, it’s unsurprising that Obsidian Lamina causesblood-loss buildup, and at 59, it does so at a slightly higher level than other Reaper weapons. Obsidian Lamina weighs only 6.5, and is meant for players who play light on their feet. The Dynastic Sickleplay weapon skill is evasive in nature, so this weapon is likely best suited for those players who use blood-based incantations as their primary offensive tool.
Obsidian Lamina can be upgraded usingSomber Smithing Stones to +10, and cannot benefit from spell-based or consumable weapon buffs.
