Where To Find Torchpole in Elden Ring
The only way to get Torchpole inElden Ringis as a random drop from Stormveil Castle courtyard guards. However, the drop rate for this item is only about 2%, which means you will have to spend a lot of time tirelessly killing the same enemies. As the name suggests, the courtyard guards you are interested in are found only inStormveil Castle, so go there.
It is worth noting that before you enter the palace grounds, you mustdefeat Margit, the Fell Omen. Once you complete this requirement, you can head straight to themain gate of the Stormveil Castleand go looking for specific enemies. Although courtyard guards are found throughout Stormveil Castle, units with Torchpole are much less common, so here is the best way to farm them:
Although you will have to do about 20+ location reloads in the worst case, you will get what you want eventually. To use Torchpole, you must meet the minimum requirements of 14 Strength and 15 Dexterity. However, if you are trying to get this weapon, such low requirements are unlikely to become a stumbling block.
As for the Torchpole’s abilities, it’s not the best weapon you can get. Of course, the excellent physical damage and long attack range will allow you to use it for a while. But the low fire damage rates and the inability to infuse it with Ashes of War may change your mind. However, you can use it as an additional weapon because of the Charge Forth skill. The ability to escape if you are surrounded or quickly reach an enemy for a subsequent long-range attack can be a helpful move at any stage of the gameplay.
