On top of numerous additions to existing classes, the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC adds eight new weapon types to the award-winning open world ARPG. Of these, some that are particularly interesting are the Hand-to-Hand weapons, as these essentially transform your Tarnished into a skilled martial artist. I didn't use them much before I wrote my review of the expansion, but I've been testing them out since then, and so far they've been solidly strong and — more importantly — very fun to build around. Who needs swords or spells when you can kick and palm strike a boss to death?
Before you can get your Kung Fu Souls on, though, you'll need to progress past the DLC's starting area and complete a short NPC quest. In the guide below, I go over everything you need to know about this process so you can get your first Hand-to-Hand weapon.
