The Earth Seeker is a greataxe in Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel.
In-Game Description
- This large twin-bladed axe forged with bronze is a ceremonial weapon normally used in sacred rites.
- Millwood is a land of primitive earth worship where chieftain knights served as high priests.
- Skill: Earthen Wrath
Thrust weapon into earth with a prayer to trigger explosive tremors.
Availability[]
In the Snowy Mountain Pass area, inside the large valley area being patrolled by Millwood Knights and the large tree in the center. The Earth Seeker is within a cave area at the back of the valley, being guarded by a Millwood Knight who is himself wielding an Earth Seeker.
Characteristics[]
An unorthodox greataxe, the Earth Seeker is designed for specialized builds and unconventional playstyles.
Unlike most other weapons, the Earth Seeker scales with both Strength and Faith. The Faith scaling is applied to its physical damage, much like weapons like Wolnir's Holy Sword, Yorshka's Spear and Morne's Great Hammer, and as such both stats have to be leveled in order for the weapon to inflict any meaningful amount of damage. This means that the weapon does not easily fit into any standard build archetype, which limits its utility.
What makes this weapon even more unique is its skill, which creates several area-of-effect explosions around the wielder. While this means that the wielder has no way to augment the damage of their weapon through Warcry, it also grants the ability to deny ground to the opposition by turning the entire area around the caster into a hazard zone.
