Despite the many new weapons introduced in Shadow of the Erdtree, none are as unique as the Dryleaf Arts. Unlike other weapons, the Dryleaf Arts lets you use martial arts and melee combat, creating a unique build unlike any other. But first, we need to get our hands on the weapon.
ULTIMATE Elden Ring Dryleaf Arts Build & Guide | @SYROBE
Dryleaf Arts is a new Hand-to-Hand Art weapon in Shadow of the Erdtree. You can get this weapon by defeating Dryleaf Dane at the Moorth Ruins. To trigger this boss fight, use the "May the Best Win" gesture on him. Dane can take a lot of hits, so be prepared for a tough fight. Defeating him will earn you the Dryleaf Arts weapon.
Similar to Fist weapons in Elden Ring, Dryleaf Arts lets you engage in hand-to-hand combat with your enemies. The weapon is based on Strength and Dexterity, making it great for a Quality build. The fast attacks and flashy moves are also some of the best looking aesthetically in a FromSoftware game to date.
Now that you know how to acquire Dryleaf Arts, we need to convert it into a viable build.
